Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
Right now it is both #1 and "currently unavailable".
This would indicate to me it either sold out or was yanked.
If this is something you are worried about, I wouldn't. I am guessing that someone is going to figure out a way to make money off of this.
If I'm a young black entrepeneur, maybe I'm trying to get a hold of every copy, marking it up 100% and selling it back to all the people snatching it up.
I wouldn't put it past Jay Z or Dr Dre to do something like that. They both know how to make a buck.Last edited by BustOfPallas; 06-10-2020 at 12:20 PM.

"Nobody move!" Ha ha. Cleavon Little. I don't think you could make that movie now. I think I'm going to watch that one tonight after work. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
They did say it would be back, and that they were adding discussion of the stereotypes in it. I would say this seems unnecessary, but I also just read an article that casually mentioned when solving a treasure mystery, someone was insisting that "in the wood" clearly referenced lumber, not a forest. So I may be giving people too much credit.

One thing someone pointed out that I find funny: Gone with the Wind was the film where the first black person won an Oscar. It is literally a part of black history and something to be proud of... and it was removed because it referenced slavery. Are we going to remove The Color Purple as well?

Those assholes better not touch the Color Purple.
REAL man tears flowed from my eyes when Celie and Nettie were united at the end. I sobbed like a little bitch.
LOVE that movie.
To this day, when I leave on a business trip to go anywhere...I backwards walk into the airport after I get out of the family truckster and do the whole "patty-cake" thing and say..."You and me, us never part. Makidada. You and me, us have one heart. Makidada." True story.

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
We just watched Color Purple during our CV19 lock down marathon. Great movie. Color purple was realistic. It portrayed blacks as actual human beings with dignity, strengths, weaknesses etc.. Danny Glover was a dic*. He has a longggg redemption arc in that movie. The movie was about black people too. Gone with the wind is about a "privileged" southern slave owner. Not really the same. I remember watching it and enjoying it as a kid, and by kid I mean like 10 or so. What's crazy to me is the movie was 40 years old probably when I saw it last. It is now 40 years older than that. How in touch could a move that is 80 years old be, lol. Black people were not even allowed to use water fountains in many places back then.

Re: Cancel Culture run amuck
This has been a great couple of days.
Nascar banning that traitor's flag
Jerry Richardson statue coming down
Christopher Columbus statue being beheaded
These artifacts of pure racism and hatred are no longer being given the limelight they never deserved. It's a glorious time! I just pray that this momentum goes toward actual police reform. We are moving forward as a society by the second!
