They need what 6 hosts to replace Robert Osborne -- he was TCM! Stop the garbage about putting films in context - Every ethnic and racial peoples have been treated like second class citizens for decades in the USA - I have an Italian heritage - a friend sent me an article from the NYT in 1904 that a new street was being worked on and "NO ITALIANS WOULD BE HIRED FOR THIS WORK" Italians were called "WOPS" w/o papers - I realize these films are 80-90 years old - sadly Song Of The South is a great example I saw it in its theatrical re-issue in the 70's all I saw was a great old movie - NOT anything racial ---- hate is taught not natural - my parents raised us to respect all.I'm sure you're right about that. I'm just relieved it's mostly cosmetic (at least as I've been able to ascertain so far).
