HBO Max Pulls ‘Gone With the Wind,’ While ‘Cops’ Gets Canceled

Moves come as entertainment companies reassess their content amid nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality

By Updated June 9, 2020 11:10 pm ET

“Gone with the Wind” was pulled from HBO Max while the long-running TV show “Cops” was outright canceled, a sign that entertainment companies are reexamining the content they offer in the wake of nationwide protests for racial justice and against police brutality.

Considered a classic of American cinema and winner of eight competitive Academy Awards, including best picture, the 1939 film starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Hattie McDaniel tells the story of southern belle Scarlett O’Hara and her love affair with Rhett Butler. Much of the four-hour film is set on the O’Hara plantation, Tara, and in Atlanta during and after the Civil War.

HBO Max parent AT&T Inc.’s move came amid growing concerns about racial injustice following the killing of George Floyd, a black man, while being arrested by a white Minneapolis police officer.

The arrest of Mr. Floyd, who was heard uttering “I can’t breathe” while the officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes, was caught on video and has led to nationwide outrage over police brutality with protests continuing throughout the U.S. for two weeks.

The killing has also started to shine a light on cultural insensitivity and race relations which is now hitting the entertainment industry.

On Tuesday, the long-running show “Cops,” a reality program which showed the police in a very favorable light, was canceled by the Paramount Network. Another pro-police reality show, “Live PD” has been pulled from the schedule of the A&E Network, which said it doesn’t know when the program will return.

“Gone With the Wind,” with its portrayal of happy slaves, has long been a lightning rod and criticized for its romanticism of slavery and that era of American history. Ms. McDaniel won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role as Mammy, a house slave, becoming the first black actor to win an Academy Award.

On Monday, John Ridley, who won an Oscar for the adapted screenplay for the movie “12 Years a Slave,” a brutal look at slavery in the U.S., wrote an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times calling for “Gone With the Wind” to be taken off HBO Max.

“It is a film that glorifies the antebellum south. It is a film that, when it is not ignoring the horrors of slavery, pauses only to perpetuate some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color.” Mr. Ridley wrote. The film, he said, perpetuates “the racism that’s causing angry and grieving Americans to take to the streets.”

“Gone With the Wind” may return to the platform down the road but with an explanation or note attached to it explaining its history and controversies, which was how the movie was presented on the Turner Classic movie channel.

Yes, but indirectly. The search will be sold through a series of data brokers and you will eventually be tagged with some catchy demographic label, like Rocky Mountain Regressive, in an HR "compliance" in the cloud service.

I read the book in high school and was struck by how the book ruthlessly undermined the myths of the old south and the irony it was touted as a major force in fueling the obsessions with the old south among so many Americans.

Was Scarlett O'Hara a southern belle? She was also the daughter of an Irish Catholic mick and a French aristocrat, and to temporarily borrow the antisemitism of this bored, could out-Jew any Jew in her business dealings. And she is a strictly amoral woman who'd gladly sell her heritage down the river for the next dollar. She openly defied all the rules for women in the old South to rebuild her prosperity while the gracious ladies faded into obscurity and poverty. Frankly, she was a Northerner in southern clothing.

Margaret Mitchell was a proto-Southern shrew

“In the 1920s Mitchell completed a novelette, Ropa Carmagin, about a Southern white girl who loves a biracial man.[52] Mitchell submitted the manuscript to Macmillan Publishers in 1935 along with her manuscript for Gone with the Wind.”
