Do they realize this is right out of the ISIS playbook? Revisionist history is truly evil. Doesn't matter if it's a film that is 75 years old, or a statue that is thousands of years old. Obliterate the past to control the future.

Just because Guy Gibson's dog was named Nigger.


A remake of that iconic movie, with Peter Jackson as the director, has been held up for around ten years because Guy Gibson's dog was called 'Nigger'.

There was talk of re-naming it 'Digger' or 'Trigger' but both names have already been taken by an Australian and a horse.



How about nagger?

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

"Song of the South" has been literally erased by the Disney Corporation. It was last shown in theaters on a limited run in 1986. There are DVD's released overseas, but not in the US. People are missing an outstanding performance by James Baskett as Uncle Remus. Here's a clip from the film without the animation (includes Hattie McDaniel singing):
