This is the lie that spoils the novel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themix.net\/2021\/03\/tcm-host-reveals-real-reason-network-is-looking-at-controversial-movies-like-gone-with-the-wind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TCM Host Reveals Real Reason Network Is Looking At Controversial Movies Like \u2018Gone With The Wind\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Gone With The Wind\u00a0<\/em>Movie Also Targeted<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">The novel was adapted into an Oscar-winning 1939 film starring Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable. The movie has also been criticized for its depiction of slavery in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, after George Floyd&#8217;s death, HBO Max removed &#8220;Gone With The Wind&#8221; from its streaming platform. WarnerMedia CEO Bob Greenblatt stated that the film would return only after a Disclaimer had been added to it. A spokesperson for HBO Max added that the movie &#8220;depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society. These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themix.net\/2020\/06\/hbo-max-gone-with-the-wind-cancel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HBO Decision To Blacklist \u2018Gone With The Wind\u2019 Backfires When This Key Fact Comes To Light<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">This is a recent instance of the woke left attempting to erase aspects of American history they deem offensive.
