However, in terms of bums on seats, Gone with the Wind simply dwarfs all other movies ever released anywhere. As Churchwell writes, “There is not a racist trope that Gone with the Wind does not endorse.” So, just like Trump. So, black America was always loud in its condemnation of Gone with the Wind, but liberal white women were more easily fooled. One example of these is when the film of Gone with the Wind had its 1939 premiere in Atlanta, Georgia. In keeping with the white supremacist politics of Gone with the Wind the choir were “dressed as slaves”.
