We live in the entitlement era after all. I tell you, if this was some LGBT show taken down, social media would be burning with anger right now and HBO would be forced to apologize in public. Sweeping Gone with the Wind under the carpet like it's no censorship doesn't hold much ground. Gone With the Wind will be back though. It’s not gone forever. It’s just having a prompt about historical context added to it. The same could/should be done for other films. I’m going to refrain for this discussion further, as it detracts from the more important issues we’re dealing with at the moment. “Sport has the power to change the world.

That’s perfectly fine, and a fair solution. I’m just not crying a river about the one’s being rightfully treated either. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It will however be a little hard to place Mount Rushmore, the Jefferson Memorial or the Washington Monument in a museum, that might be a bit of a thing. Any suggestion on how to deal with those?

If USA hasn't learned a history lesson some 160 years after the Civil War, they will never learn it IMO. Just how long can you wait? I can understand most US people think Africa is a country but re-education on Civil War and slavery in 2020? Like really? What have you been doing the past several decades (other than fighting wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say I'll visit the Crazy Horse Memorial when it's finished, but I haven't found the Elixir of Life yet.
