Bringing it back after appending a disclaimer at the start seems to me the right move. It is a racist film. Probably shouldn't have taken this long.

Bringing back "Song of the South" with a disclaimer would also be the right move.

Read the full story. It will be back with a discussion of the legacy of slavery and the time period in which the film was made.

GWTW provides a snap shot of what the producer/writers/director etc. thought was an acceptable way to tell a story. Many scenes we may consider objectionable today were accepted by the creative team & 1930's audiences. 'Cancelling' GWTW deprives us of a learning opportunity.

It also provides a snapshot of what Selznick thought was unacceptable: The scenes we consider objectionable in the film were much more objectionable in Margaret Mitchell's novel. Selznick worked to remove racist language and blatant white supremacist ideology from the film.
