Current Events > Straight up, all these episode removals and shit is some book burning shit

(+) Yeah! (+)

What the hell is going on? When did the left become the 'oh think of the children religious radicals?'

The weird thing is not a single black person called for this. These companies are doing it themselves.

Edit: I shouldn't say "not a single" but it definitely is not the majority.

Awww you can't watch racist blackface scenes for entertainment?

How sad

Censorship has always had bipartisan appeal.

Censorship is always thoroughly unAmerican & I detest it. The Freedom of Speech was the 1st amendment for a reason.

Its a conspiracy to push DVD/BluRay sales.

Watch for it. Ever since streaming took over companies had no way of selling physical media that seemed appealing over the convenience of Netflix

Now, theyll use whatever the current social issue is to remove episodes and censor scenes out of sensitivity, and the only way to see them uncut will be to buy the discs, or maybe subscribe to the companys own proprietary service. >_>

Unfortunately when our country is suffering from all kinds of racist violence and has a President who is encouraging it sometimes things have to be done.

"We demand police reform so black people will stop getting killed for no reason!"

Society- "we will change virtually nothing about the policing system, but can I interest you in a complimentary book burning and Aunt Jemima name change?"

Does it really make you that mad that you can't see a blackface scene in a Season 9 episode of the Office?

I wonder if Mad Men will get cancelled next for the Rodger Sterling scene where he actually does real Black face. But i wonder if they will get the whole point is that he was an asshole of a person to begin with and it was a period drama where there were dumbasses who actually did stuff like that.

Is there any real reason to wonder this? The people who make and support these decisions might collectively have a dozen brain cells between them. They're not capable of understanding reason or nuance.

It's getting to the point where dark coloured face paint that has nothing to do with imitating another race is being considered blackface.

Some one in another topic explained it thus: "Black people don't care if there is a point. They're tired of seeing it period."

So that explains why they're going scorched earth.

Tho again, black people in general didn't call for this. Companies are covering their asses thinking they're "helping" without actually doing anything.

This was always the case. The bigger question, is why you didn't realize it till now?

I haven't seen much about anyone actually calling for this to happen. Companies like Netflix are just trying to cover their asses while promoting movies like the Help in order to be a part of the conversation lmao just misguided corporate bullshit that misses the point.

They just removed a Community episode where one of the characters dresses up as a Dark Elf (& gets called out for being a racist in the episode), so no, I have absolutely no faith that any critical thinking will ever be done over sensationalist nonsense.

Sounds like a nice cover for someone who wants censorship. I'm sorry Trump isn't an excuse for doing this. You're tripping if you can't remember the George Bush days. It was much worse than this.

No way.

GWB didn't actively go out and tell fucking police officers to beat the shit out of unarmed minorities and label them as terrorists. He also didn't stir up so much hate and animosity between races in this country like Trump has.
