Why aren't Paramount Studios torn down?? Racists!!

[PhilFish]

You may be aware of the recent scandal surrounding Kate Smith (singer and actress from the thirties,famous for her rendition of God bless America)... Recently it surfaced that she sang racially insensitive songs.

Following, the Yankees and the Flyers removed all traces of her from their arenas. (Kate was an inspiration if sorts for flyers fans for decades and they played her God bless America as inspiration)

When the racially poor songs were discovered...poof...she was gone. The flyers removed a statue.

Anyway.... The racial song was performed in a movie...produced and distributed by Paramount pictures.

Should not Paramount be castigated the same way? It's studios closed?

REALLY?

Tear Paramount Studies down because of one old movie.

A childish thought!

You're right.
Although it not hard to mix the two up.

So yes. Tear down Paramount. Nice.

Robert Downey did blackface.... Shouldn't his movies be removed from circulation and his career ended?

NOPE, that movie was an instant classic and it handled the issue of blackface very well in the story.

I find it strange that the people who say businesses should be allowed to make decisions that they think are best for their business are upset when businesses do so.
