No Warnings, Please, Mr. Karger!"
Herman Bricks replied to Ed in Orange's topic in General Discussions
Ed, it is necessary for Dave Karger and the other hosts to provide these warnings. Without the warnings, these films will soon no longer be shown on TCM or any other media provider. TCM will cease to exist without the disclaimers and an obvious commitment on TCM's part to portray racial diversity and provide education about the racial issues of TCM's content. I'm not saying this to be politically correct, I'm saying that this is how businesses operate. The assets of TCM are a library of old films produced in a segregated industry in which black people (in the rare instances they appear) are mostly depicted as servants or buffoons. Blackface was not an oddity, it was common enough that it was worn by icons like Fred Astaire and Shirley Temple and depicted in all-time great films like YANKEE DOODLE DANDY. So if you owned TCM, in order to 1) exist and 2) to monetize your assets by presenting these films... you would provide warnings/disclaimers. Otherwise you couldn't show the films and you'd go out of business. -
