Hattie McDaniel or “Mammy” in the film Gone With The Wind was the first African American to ever win an Oscar. So people think banning this movie erases white history, it also erases black history.

This is old news. We're mourning Jemima and Ben today, don't be insensitive.

I saw the trailblazing acting performance in the movie. Now we are being shamed into not watching the film.

McDaniel was from a show biz family

Pffft. I feel no shame... I love that book and movie for what it is. And if it's on a streaming service, I have no issues with them pulling it or adding a historical context note before it. GWTW =/= black history.

If we get rid of these things that show slavery then we can say it never happened. BLM will have to go away since there was no proof they were ever repressed.
