“Gone With the Wind” will be gone from The Orpheum’s summer movie series, the theater’s board said Friday.
I posted a link to this information, I was wondering what is going to happen with "Roots"; GWTW is child's play compared to Roots and the later served back in the 70s to awake a lot of people to the horrors of slavery.
I guess that it will have to be banned.
GWTW was historical in many aspects, one of them was that Hattie McDonald became the first African American actress to win an Oscar.

MLK, hands down
Why?
His deeds were related to a US segment of the population and if we are going to believe the current state of race relations in America nothing has been resolved. I think that his early demise derailed his movement and was an impediment for many of the changes that he was advocating. And remember he was a Republican.
Columbus affected the world not just one country.

"I view Columbus in the same light as Lewis and Clark"
I guess we agree after all.
Just up to a point, what Columbus did was way, way bigger and with less resources than Lewis and Clark.

"maybe 'a brave and skilful explorer' deserves a monument?"
Why not, a little one. But Columbus Day? That's a whole different story that needs revising.
This is an interesting point, the same people that are tearing down Columbus, fought very hard to get an MLK national holiday.
Please, be honest and tell me which one of the two made more significant contributions for mankind.

I think that I was very clear as to mentioning Columbus as an explorer and nothing else. The freedoms that came out were related to social changes influenced by advanced European thinkers and the will of the natives here to try a system of Government different to the traditional Europeans Monarchies.
I view Columbus in the same light as Lewis and Clark.
I keep saying you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Columbus merit is the same as that of many other brave explorers of whom most people never heard.
I myself have never considered Columbus as a Saint or Reformer, just as an explorer that by accident got to some new lands. The fact that he was the first one is what makes him notable; too bad for the other explorers that have been ignored.
All of them had one thing in common, ambition and greed. None of them including Columbus was example of human rights, as a matter of fact very few humans are.
Even today, what is the real purpose of space exploration?
$$$$$$$ and Power

He made no contributions to make the world a better place. Instead he opened the door to the destruction and exploitation of humans by other humans. Not necessarily his fault.
I think that all of us, had on a way or another benefited from the discoveries, this Continent eventually became quite different from the European ancestors and in some respects I think that it has produced most of the rights and liberties associated with modern society.
The savagery and domination of the natives was no different that the Biblical tales about Israel and the Canaanites.
We have to put things in perspective and just think at the alternatives, at any rate we can't change history.

The Orpheum Theatre Group decided not to include the 1939 movie about a plantation in the Civil War-era South in its 2018 Summer Movie Series after feedback from patrons following the last screening Aug. 11.

I don't think that when Nikki Haley did that you envisioned the implications that her action was going to bring, same as the people pushing this matter. they don't realize that this is a giant snowball that is going to wreck this country apart.
