The Long Battle Over ‘Gone With the Wind’ - The New York Times
Powerful article on the problems of the iconic movie "Gone with the Wind." Indeed, a movie that becomes a defense of the confederate ideology, and historical inaccuracies of how slavery worked in the South. This in addition to the fact that it presented black people as "happy" under their condition of slavery. Even if there were some black folks who were "happy, (and that is a big "IF") in their slaved condition, it can only be attributed to the system and ideology of white supremacy internalized by enslaved-oppressed people. No one is happy to be treated like garbage by another human being even if they love that human being. Read the article and share it.
