Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley is demanding HBO Max blacklist Gone With the Wind (1939).
But that’s not all…
He’s also demanding “all content providers look at their libraries and make a good-faith effort to separate programming that might be lacking in its representation from that which is blatant in its demonization.â€
ALL. CONTENT.
ALL.
Toldjaso!
Toldjaso!
Toldjaso!
Just last week I told you to hang on to your discs, and specifically singled out Gone With the Wind.
Six whole years ago, I told you to hold on to your hard copy of Blazing Saddles, and was attacked as a crank, as paranoid.
Toldjaso!
Toldjaso!
Toldjaso!
When the left is empowered and emboldened, cities burn, innocent people are forced to their knees, good men are killed, and blacklisters engorged by the feast of moral panic run around like vigilante mobs — but for our own good, donchaknow.
John Ridley, who won the 2013 screenplay Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, is not only calling for the blacklisting of a film that won eight Academy Awards and is still the most popular movie ever made, he’s calling for the blacklisting of the first movie where a black performer, the amazing Hattie McDaniel, won an Oscar.
And let’s not worry about the fact 73 percent of black people love Gone With the Wind, because this moral panic is not about giving the people (not even black people) what they want, it’s about fascism, silencing, scarlet lettering, and blacklisting — it’s about seeing just how far bullies like Ridley can push corporate America using the tools of emotional blackmail and terror.
Get a load of how Ridley goes about it… How he promises the girl he’ll pull out in time… [emphasis added throughout]
