“But her most enduring screen role was that of sweet Melanie in “Gone With the Wind,” the 1939 Civil War epic that won hearts and Oscars but ultimately became a symbol of the country’s systemic racism for its romanticized portrayal of the antebellum South and its sanitized treatment of the horrors of slavery.

WarnerMedia pulled the film from its streaming service during the national protests sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd after a white Minneapolis police officer pinned him to the ground by leaning on his neck for several minutes as other police officers appeared to look on dispassionately.”

This is an an article about the life of Olivia De Havilland, who passed away, not George Fucking Floyd and “systemic” racism. People in general make me so sick anymore.

They wrote a whole god damn paragraph about what happened to George Floyd in an article about Olivia De Havilland’s career. Fuck the Los Angeles Times, and fuck society in 2020! This is disgusting and pathetic! This is why most of the world despises the media. They never miss a chance to inject politics into everything. Worthless losers!

Everything must be infected with the BLM Ideology.

Can you translate that for us, please ? It sounds like the mumbo-jumbo dementia patient Trump spews out.

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

Not much need to translate unless you’re a dipshit. It a fairly easy sentence to understand Doggiedaddy.

"People in general make me so sick anymore."

That home schooling really didn't work out for you, did it ?

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

Wasn’t home schooled Doggie. Public school.

Keep your stupid ass quips coming. You haven’t brought up Trump in about 6 seconds...maybe you should throw out a pointless comment about how much you think he sucks?

Or maybe...just maybe...do you have a comment or something to say relevant to my original post? Nah? More “Trump sucks” stuff? Yeah, figured.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I said nothing about 'Trump sucks' - so try again, lil' slugger. I pointed out your poor grammar and sentence structure. Trump's demolition of the English language is due to his dementia. What's your excuse ?

[–] Rorikon (18391) 5 years ago

Since you're Melania's Mirror, shouldn't you at least be using Melania speak?

ie: Why you no be best? I try to understand but you be best than the rest okay?

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

You are a complete tool.

And thanks for doing exactly what I said you would do...turn it into something about Trump. It’s just like breathing to you. And still no comment relevant to the original post. You have no life doggiedaddy.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

You don't take defeat well, do you slugger ? I guess that's why you idolize Trump.

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

What exactly did I get defeated in again? Just wanted to clarify? I wish for just once you made any kind of sense Doggiedaddy. You’re like a cutaway scene in the show Family Guy, which is one pointless gag after another, with no relevance to what’s going on.

I don’t idolize Trump, but thanks for bringing him up for 9 billionth time in the last 5 minutes.

I really think you want to have sex with Trump or something...maybe he rejected you at some point, and your psychotic madness drove you to create account after account on a movie chat website to constantly bash him about EVERYTHING 24/7 because he turned down your twisted sexual advances, and for Trump to turn down ANYONE’S advances, is saying a lot. 😂

Holy shit, even a fucking obituary, they need to fill it with woke propaganda. It's disgusting.

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

I agree. The LA Times and their ilk are disgusting, evil bastards.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15124) 5 years ago

The L.A. Times can burn in hell with the rest of the Lamestream Media. Their rags aren't even fit to be used as toilet paper.

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

And the alt-wrong have another bout of fulminating and hyper-ventilating over a non-issue.
OMG, 104 year old stars' obit is botched. Whatta crime ! Just goes to show ya how the world's gone to hell ...
And look who's in charge. No shit the world's gone to hell.

OMG, 104 year old stars' obit is botched. Whatta crime ! Just goes to show ya how the world's gone to hell ...

I think your quote says plenty. Basically, “Well, she’s 104 years old, so who gives a shit about her or her obituary. Fuck her accomplishments, which will be infinitely more than I will ever accomplish in my lifetime. It’s perfectly fine if they turn her obituary into a public service announcement for Black Terrorists Matter. Old people suck and should die because Trump is old and I hate him, and blah, blah, blah, and derp, derp derp... cancel pop tarts because I’m offended. 🤪.”

This was a legendary Hollywood actress who deserves much better. Writing a paragraph about George Floyd in her obituary is disgusting, and so is everyone who thinks like you. You’re supposedly so tolerant and against racism...depending on what race you’re attacking. Fucking complete hypocrites...every last one of you.

And I’m nowhere near the alt right...you’re just so insanely far left that EVERYONE is alt right to psychos like you. Go burn down some buildings and shit on some destroyed police cars...maybe hurt some innocent people while you’re at it. Ruin everyone else’s lives because you’re a miserable prick...that’s the theme of 2020.

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

Thanks ! I've been hoping for some wrong wing creep to egg me on to being a criminal. And you just did it !
Your side never does anything wrong (derp) so because I'm upset, I must want to see all kinds of upheaval.
Wrong, wrong , and wrong again.
OdH, passed away at 104 years old. Just because the LA paper made some stupid - yet relevant ! - comment in her obit isn't something to be exercised over. She's 104 years old, for god sakes. Don't look for reasons to politicize her passing.
Quit thinking everything is a conspiracy just to rankle your feathers. Man up and quit whining.

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

Don't look for reasons to politicize her passing.

THEY politicized her passing...that is the whole point of my original post. Jesus Christ. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just because the LA paper made some stupid - yet relevant ! - comment in her obit isn't something to be exercised over.

“Yet relevant” you say, right there you are full of shit, and I hope in your obituary many years from now they debate abortion laws instead of talking about your life. 😂 George Floyd was not relevant to Olivia DeHavilland, and it annoys the shit out of me that they did that. I’m allowed to feel that way...and at least I’m not trying to ban the LA Times like a modern day liberal would. What they did was bullshit, and as low class as it gets.

Once again, you’re a far left liberal, so you can’t see I don’t have a side, except for the USA...and BOTH parties are ridiculous and full of extremists...the liberals just have a hell of an advantage with my hatred right now because they are burning cities down, banning everything and anything, and ruining sports all in one fell swoop. At least generally speaking conservatives keep to themselves and leave people alone.

And hey, you may or may not be a criminal, I have no idea, but you sure as hell are supporting plenty of criminals. Hell, a good portion of politicians on the left were (and are) supporting and encouraging the rioters, and letting the innocent citizens of their cities be beaten, killed, or have their businesses destroyed. That’s a plain as day fact, and it makes me sick.

Did not read anything past your title.

It was enough.

You had me at "Screw the Los Angeles Times".

[–] jewoogle (2269) 5 years ago

fake news at it again, best to just turn it all off an ignore it for your own sanity

[–] sut6432 (2928) 5 years ago

I am pretty much ignoring all news and social media (and even my sports!) at this point. The crazy meter of this country is broken off and floating in space somewhere. The National media should be ashamed of themselves, but they love to divide people and cause chaos, so they don’t care.

I just simply wanted to read some of the obituaries written about Ms. DeHavilland, because I’m a big fan of the golden age of Hollywood, but I can’t even read that without a political hijacking.

[–] jewoogle (2269) 5 years ago

yeah it sucks that cant give a dead woman a decent obituary without spreading there agenda

[–] NormaAndNorman (3900) 5 years ago

I get it, sut. It's really ignorant.

And yes, they're ruining everything. I'm not a big sports fan in general but the men in my family are. These teams are making some bad moves. Biting many of the hands that feed them. I hope they all crash and burn if they keep up the idiocy. Same for movies, TV, music, etc.

RIP Olivia (and RIP to Regis Philbin too).
