[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DP. Nor is it yours. Nor do you seem aware that HBO pulled Gone with the Wind for it's racism until people complained and they put it back with contextual explainers for how it ignores the horrors of slavery. Which is a fine solution to me, but if that works, why can't I dress like Scarlet O'Hara at a party without endorsing either greed or racism?[/quote] Because your costume, presumably, won’t include explicit condemnation of slavery, oppression, and racism, which will give the appearance that you are romanticizing a fictional slave owner and her life story, which was rife with racism. If you felt strongly about condemning the glorification of these things, you wouldn’t pick that costume in the first place. When was the last time you watched Gone With the Wind? You might not accurately remember just how racist it is. It’s painful to watch the depictions of the slaves.[/quote] Gone with the wind is awesome. There’s a reason it’s a classic. So there’s slaves in it, there were slaves then. Would you prefer a civil war film that has robots instead of slaves? Or squirrels?[/quote] Love this![/quote] Gone With the Wind depicts one female slave as childlike, hysterical, and ignorant. All 3 of the main slave characters are dependent on Scarlet to figure out what ever shall they do, how they will eat, how will they maintain Tara. Though the quintessential Southern belle, Scarlet is the only one with the ingenuity, gumption, work ethic and courage to keep everyone alive. As though Scarlet would have had any clue how to do anything and slaves would have needed her to show them the way. 🙄 She’s the white savior who cares for these slaves who couldn’t make it on their own without a master to tell them what to do. Those slaves sure were lucky to have her! 🤮 One of you pretends there was simply no other way to portray slaves and gives absurd alternatives, and the other poster loves it! You’re terrible people.
