Black Lives Matter: ‘Gone with the Wind,’ ‘Cops’ pulled as pop culture reckons with racismart-and-cultureUpdated: Jun 11, 2020 12:35 ISTOscar-winning Civil War epic “Gone with the Wind” was pulled from the HBO Max streaming service and reality TV show “Cops” was cancelled as America’s reckoning with systemic racism extended to its popular culture. Less than 24 hours later, the DVD for “Gone with the Wind” jumped to the top of Amazon.com Inc’s list of best-selling TV shows and movies. Here’s why Sara Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tamannaah Bhatia’s posts are tone deaf“We felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible,” an HBO Max spokesperson said. The 1939 film will return to HBO Max with “a discussion of its historical context” and a denouncement of racist depictions, the spokesperson added. The Paramount Network, a cable TV channel owned by ViacomCBS Inc, removed “Cops” from its schedule.
