There are a growing number of changes coming in all facets of the entertainment industry in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. We said yesterday that the long running TV show “Cops” has been canceled after more than 30 years, now “Live PD,” which was the A&E network’s highest rated show has gotten the boot.
In music, The Grammys are getting rid of the word “urban,” for example the “Urban Contemporary” will now be called “Progressive R&B.”
And in film, streaming service HBO Max has removed the 1939 film “Gone with the Wind” due to its depiction of slavery during the Civil War of the United States. HBO says it’s going to add some historical context for returns. Who didn’t remove the film? Amazon. In fact, “Gone with the Wind” is now the number one selling DVD on Amazon.
In NASCAR, the racing league has put an end to fans bringing the Confederate flag to races. (The confederacy was the losing side in the Civil War, which was fought over, among other things, slavery).
