The Woke Taliban have won. HBO Max announced on Tuesday it is blacklisting Gone With the Wind (1939),
I will never know why HBO Max does not blacklist Casablanca? The Woke Taliban must be sleeping at the switch!
2. Many experts consider Casablanca the most romantic movie ever made. In fact Casablanca qualifies as a musical. Not because of the song As Time Goes By, but because there are twenty or so different pieces of music in Casablanca; mostly as background music; some are played twice. Hell, they even managed to squeeze the French National Anthem in there.
Just why the Socialists/Communists are not up in arms over Casablanca being honored is beyond me. Sam, the black piano player played by Dooley Wilson, sings As Time Goes By. He also sings this song in the background:
(Frankie Laine’s rendition of Shine was mildly successful.)
Now imagine putting Shine in a movie today, and have a black guy sing it! If the word niggardly that had nothing to do with race is a no-no to Socialists just think what the race hustlers can do with Shine. One would think that the politically correct crowd would be outraged by the lyrics.

Cause my hair is curly
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
Shine, sway your blues'ies
Why don't you shine?
Start with your shoes'ies
Shine each place up, make it look like new
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two
Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya'
Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya'
You'll make the whole world shine
Oh chocolate drop, that's me...
Cause my hair is curly, (man's got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style
Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby)
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me...
Shine away your blues'ies
Shine, start with your shoes'ies
You'll make the whole world shine
Where have J. Jackson and all da black reverends been all these years?
The premise of Casablanca glorified Socialism/Communism by making fascism the greater evil (they are two sides of the same coin as I said often enough). In WWII movies, fictional courageous characters took up arms against the Nazis, but never against Soviet Communists. Fighting for Communism without talking about it was the way idealism was defined by Hollywood in those days. It still is as time goes by.
Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, is a sleazy bar owner who sells Sam like a piece of property along with selling the bar to another white guy. That is one more reason the race hustlers should be screaming bloody murder.
As far as romance goes: Ilsa, the woman that Ingrid Bergman played, was a trollop. If they ever do a remake of Casablanca, the ending would have a gang of bad bikers pull up to Rick's Café and proceed to engage in some serious ass-kicking. The final scene would show Ilsa going off on the back of the gang leader's bike to find happiness servicing the gang as Big Momma Biker Bitch.
