Probably because it was funny unlike the <deleted> comedy on TV now.

BTW the black couple always came out on top against the honkeys.

I don't have Netflix.  I use YouTube to watch classic and very funny British sitcoms from my youth, such as Alf Garnett, Love Thy Neighbour, Are you being served, Dad's Army etc etc, all which will have the millennials and snowflakes outraged that I can dare to laugh at such depictions of gay people, black people (is it still OK to say 'black'?).

 

Well, I'm very happy to say that I don't give a flying fig about political correctness.  These are very funny sitcoms, poking at fun at all the players, regardless of the colour of their skin or their sexuality etc.  I'm not taking part in any of the madness that is affecting many western countries.

But I need to know was Rhett the Butler or not, please its a several old decade question which needs to be asswered.

[2long]

So, will they also withdraw Django Unchained and 12 years a Slave? Plus loads others.

How long before you will not be able to watch a fight where a white man wins ,as its racist. Or you get arrested for cheering a white guy on .

[Kelsall]

Gone with the Wind is considered to be the best film ever by many.  AND if you want to learn how to handle women, just watch the Rhett Butler scenes. He doesn't take any guff.

 

Gone with the Wind is three and a half hours long, so it does require a good attention span.

 

From a Harris Poll in 2014:

 

"when asked to name their favorite movie of all time, the septuagenarian Civil War epic Gone with the Wind is Americans’ top pick again (the film was also America’s favorite movie in 2008)."

You say that in jest but it will eventually come to that...only white on white or B word on B word fights

I demand they also remove the 1939 Oscar contender for best picture, The Wizard of Oz, which exploits and shames people of diminutive stature. ????

Soon there'll be no starters available in restaurants if they get rid of short-order cooks.

True . I saw on utube a few months back where black American boxing fans were rooting for Tyson Fury against Wilder. They got grief for supporting the white man over the black guy.  Not the Brit over the American .

The woke madness continues.

 

As a side note I am now seeing an ad on here for PLANTATION HOMES. ????

The U.K. will be all over this !!

 

Time to dust off the old fogies in the government department and put them back to work !!

The ones who gave us such classics as:

Blackboard - Chalkboard

Black bin liners - Refuse sacks

Manhole covers - Service covers 

 

Not only will movies and tv series be lost forever, statues or signs with any racial undertones be removed but we will have to go back to school to learn the “ new “ English language !!

Looks like I will not be able to watch South Park anymore, as they will probably be removing it because of Token.  I also see Elmer Fud having his gun taken away as he is always being a violent man trying to kill the rabbit.  Then there is the Road Runner, can not have Wiley Coyote creating mayhem by dropping big rocks and such.  So much for watching and of the Our Gang television shows anymore as well, the world has gone absolutely mad in trying to erase history.  History is to be learned from not discounted......

Spartacus simply has to go.....

Two slaves of differing colour, sweating it out in a violent battle of life or death.
