Black Lives Matter has sparked the removal of certain films and apologies from actors for their depictions of black characters.
The show — a small-screen institution which had been broadcast continuously since 1989 — had been long criticised for glorifying macho policing and stirring fear of crime. “Little Britain” creators David Walliams and Matt Lucas had earlier admitted that they had regrets over the show. “I guess we’re all on a learning journey,” he said before Britain’s Channel 4 pulled it from its streaming service.As well as quietly dropping some shows, Netflix and streaming rival Amazon are also promoting black talent.
HBO Max meanwhile said they pulled “Gone With the Wind” — one of US President Donald Trump’s favourite films — because of its “racist depictions” that were “wrong then and are wrong today”.
