Another remarked over news of the canceled screening, “slowly but surely, we will rid this community of all tributes to white supremacy.”

Mitch kills a few Russkies and his fair share of American Law Makers.

That being said, American assassin bad guy is set in Lebanon I'm pretty sure.

That was fricked up. I was going to cancel the families season tickets, but kids had a fit because we would lose Hamilton tickets.

The American Assassin movie is gonna be a giant slap to the face for anyone that enjoyed those books.

Yeah, if we get to phone burning or video game burning, there will be problems.


This is why so many game and entertainment providers are moving away from physical media into streaming and downloads. That way, when they start eliminating "controversial" media, there will be no books or discs to burn.

When do they start banning all the 12 years a slave and Moonlight for all the white guilt?


Moonlight was about a gay, black gangbanger.

But yeah, I agree with you otherwise.

so true. ban a movie is only the start. next thing you know having to stop at red lights will show privilege and favoriteism. stop signs will be racist. sitting in the front row will be elitism and will offend some antifa prick.

Digital downloads would take care of that, but video game distributors are going to go all Google and purge insensitive content.

I've always thought the Land Mass should protest "The Jerk".

"I was born a poor black child in Mississippi."

Massive irony in this: Hattie McDaniel's portrayal of Mammy garnered her the first Academy Award ever presented to an African-American.

Hattie McDaniel, who had a great performance, received a lot of grief over her portraying a maid.

Her great response "I'd rather play a maid than be one."

Don't forget racism due to the bad guy (VADER) being all black.

If you look hard enough it's possible to find "racism" in anything.

When Perkins Rowe showed it recently I was surprised they didn't edit anything out. Unlikely it gets shown again though.
