This is becoming an absolute revisionist madness and puts me in mind of that classic phrase that adorns US 'bathrooms' - 'sanitised for YOUR PROTECTION'.

Ironically the first Afro-American Oscar winner was Hattie McDaniel for her performance in Gone with the Wind. But they're trying to make it as hard to see as a copy of Mein Kampf. Bizarre.

I remember someone telling me that the owner was into his kinky s3x. Later I heard he'd died, a golf ball played a huge part in his demise apparently.
