For years, I stayed away from watching "Gone with The Wind" because people told me it was racist and pro-Confederate propaganda.

It finally was on a free cable channel, so I watched it.

It was racist, and pro-Confederate propaganda.

It was also a great movie.

I didn't become pro-Confederate after watching it, the same way I didn't go on a shooting spree after watching 'Taxi Driver.'
