There is a new, international program Director. He answers to the name of “anti-racism”. He has ensured that the just-launched streaming portal “HBO Max” gone with the wind, the southern epic, “The wind” in the meantime, in the poison Cabinet. The cable channel “Paramount Network”, the Reality series “Cops”, the police officers for operations accompanied. The series is running since 1989. The private network A+E has suspended its similar Reality series, “Live PD”. In the UK it has caught the Comedy series “Little Britain” by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. You ran at the beginning of the two thousands of years in Radio, the BBC, from 2003 to 2006, in the television, is repeated from a variety of channels, duration, is now flown but due to “black facing” out of the deal by Netflix, the platform, BritBox, and the BBC iPlayer.

The reason for the spell is the same in all cases. It comes to racial prejudice, which are said to be stoked to lack of sensitivity, to say to police violence; in the case of “gone with The wind” to the trivialization of slavery. We recall the four hours long, with ten Oscar-winning Film from the year 1939 in memory, should one appear, the plea of the author and producer John Ridley, who won in 2014 for his screenplay to “12 Years a Slave” an Oscar, in the “Los Angeles Times” is plausible. The Film glorify the southern States before the civil war, writes Ridley. If he “didn’t ignore the horrors of slavery”, about like it, “some of the most painful Stereotypes to keep People of Color’ transparent”. Therefore, HBO may pull the Film in the meantime, and with a discursive embedding again show. Just as it wants to keep the Warner Media scoring company. A racism debate would not have been able to use the new Portal “HBO Max” certainly.

test The case of the BBC Comedy is a little different. “Little Britain” is a crude Comedy, the supposed “Britishness” in many ways, the grain takes up and taste boundaries does not stop. She makes jokes about the majority and the minorities do not stop, not immigrants, not in front of men in women’s clothes and not the ones that seem to be made morally higher. This is in the sketches, of which Matt Lucas, one of the two Comedians said years ago that he would not create today, so brutal way.

if it Were here only to channels with a linear program, would have settled the issue easily: it is Shown, which corresponds to the spirit of the times and the audience brings. In the case of streaming portals, however, everything is visible – the program of today, yesterday and the day before that. Thinking about what appears as everything is on the shelf, only to allegedly fuelled racial prejudice get. Wrong but it, to me, would be nothing, nothing to you of the pressure of groups, yielding to the dictate want, what can be shown and what will be deprived of a Once and for all the views; the in advance want to determine which guests on talk shows to invite, what kind of jokes Comedians and cabaret artists tear and who or what may move Cartoon-series by the cocoa.
