What statues/books/films should we ban next?

John Doe1

Seeing as we are now judging people from centuries ago by todays morals, lets be the moral saviours and ban/burn a few things.

*Pyramids-built by African slaves
*Colleseum-They hurt poor wee animals/people in it
*Works of Shakespeare-problematic depiction of foreign people
*A brief history of time-Too much focus on science and not enough ackowledgement of transgender rigths

Fair city.....those poor "actors" must be forced to work.

This horse$hit about tearing down the Pyramids needs to stop. Nobody knows who built them. Nobody even knows how they built them. Not the ones in Giza, which is what everyone is talking about.

It was aliens anyway, and who knows how the alien society was structured

I hear Mick ‘Scarecrow’ Wallace will be sponsoring Wexford FC with that infamous Che Guevara picture on the jersey.

The terrorist Che Guevara would be high up for list for me.

All the Marvel movies. Nick Fury was originally a white man and they have a black man playing him.

Hangdogroad

Hamilton. A load of 18th century white men going around in blackface.

Nothing should be banned, censoring and banning is what an authoritarians do and there is no place for it in modern society, If a group of people are weak willed then the answer is to get them therapy to toughen up as I feel society has gotten too soft, maybe it is the influence of having Women recently playing a prominent role in Government and entertainment but it is something that should be studied.

Tear down statues ban films and burn books there is no past just their terrifying vision of the future

anyone mentioned all the shrines to the virgin Mary around the country, all the christian crosses on display in public places? I know the cross on top of Carrauntoohil was cut down a few years ago, but it was repaired...

There is a monument of a Slán in our village. It represents an implement of oppression against black turf.

I shall be asking the community council to remove it immediately...

The pyramids weren't built by slaves. This has been known for ages now.

It's amazing how many people bring them up to seem smart but just prove their own ignorance.

Ah sure we should stop the world and all white people get off, together with anything we’ve created, cause we’re all bad racists you know, who think only our own lives matter.

Remove the word black and all combinations from the dictionary and flagellate ourselves daily to repent for the sins of previous generations that we had no hand in and disagree with entirely. oh and don’t forget to issue a big long heartfelt apology just because your skin is white.

I’m seriously getting fed up with all this crap. I totally disagree with anyone regardless of their skin tone being treated brutally or unfairly, but destroying things from the past and going around craw beating won’t bring the change we need to see. It’s tokenism this destruction of things.

Lyle Lanley

Amazing that we managed to learn anything about what Hitler did despite not seeing statues of him seeing as knocking down statues=erasing history.

On a challenge from a mate I am watching all the DC Arrowverse TV shows. They have Jimmy Olsen from Superman as a black man now too. Wasn't he white originally or am I remembering that wrong?

And in one episode of Supergirl the younger sister of Louis Lane showed up. She was "of color" too. Sp I guess Lois Lane is now too?

Me - I actually want to see a black james bond. Not for any PC reasons. Its just I can think of a few actors I'd love to see do the role.

I'd be in favour of banning Gavin James or Nathan or Jake Cater, preferably both.

It's been removed from HBO Max, which you can't get in Ireland btw.

It's still there to rent or buy on Google play or other services.

Gone with the wind hasn't been banned, and somebody vandalised something.
That's what causing the outrage?

There's a reason for that.


Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD started David Hasselhoff back in 1998.

Not even so bad it's good.

16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Didn't even make it to DVD.

What about banning the film ‘White Chicks’? I assume ‘whiteface’ is considered as offensive as ‘blackface’?
