HBO removed Gone With the Wind although Hattie McDonald was the first black to win an Oscar for her portrayal of Mammy.

Pelosi wants 11 confederate statues removed from the capitol building.

Since when do we remove everything that might offend someone instead of using it to educate.
Cable channels are pulling real life cop shows, re-enactment type police shows, etc. They canceled Cops which is the longest running series on tv ever, 30+ years. There's even a kids cartoon show called 'Paw Patrol' that shows cops (dog) in a good light that the sick lunatics want pulled.

This insanity has got to stop. People need to get over themselves and to hell with 'white guilt'. It's a totally made up concept that has caused Americans to lose their effing minds. No one thinks for himself anymore.
But Nick muted the content!

And? That was the origin of the Paw Patrol joke. They didn’t mute it because of the joke. I was there it was a beautiful time for twitter sarcasm that was ruined by people who take everything too seriously.
