cancel ANY AND ALL movies set in the US prior to 1975 or so.
Think about it, if there are no blacks in the movie, it's discrimination and the black actors are not getting a chance to earn a living. Cue colon kaepernick...
If there are blacks in the movie and they are shown in actual historical situations and attitude, SOMEONE will be offended.
So, unless they portray george washington as organizing the first basketball team in the country or abe lincoln rewriting his second inauguration speech to say, "With malice towards whites and charity for blacks..." SOMEONE will be offended.
