TopicTheater cancels Gone With the Wind screening because it's insensitive

I will admit Gone with the Wind was a little progressive back in the day, for having a major black female character that was portrayed sympathetically. Unfortunately the situation of her slavery was also whitewhashed in that process. In order for them to get that sympathy, she had to basically all but say that she enjoyed the whole slavery thing and waiting on whitey was a real treat.

The whole movie is just a god damn mess though. It is an epic romance movie set in a very disgusting time in our country's history. It is like trying to make the story of Dachau into a romantic comedy. The theater by not showing it is only saving hundreds if not thousands of hours of all of our collective time.
