Gone with Wind is NOT racist - for the millionth time

So shut already.  It now seems impossible to discuss Gone With the Wind (GWTW) anymore without some ignorant, 21st century SWPL knucklehead trying to drag "racism" into the discussion.  But let’s take their dull, left-wing talking points one by one: 

1) GWTW shows slaves as happy and contented.  -  Actually it doesn't.  When Scarlett returns from Atlanta, she's told all the slaves have run away except for a few old house servants.  And Prissy doesn't seem too happy or concerned with helping the white folks either.  Later, when Ashley complains about white convicts being mistreated at the Sawmill; Scarlett responds “Well, what about the Slaves?”  and then looks skeptical as Ashley states that “at least we didn't beat and starve them”.

2) GWTW shows reconstruction as a bad thing - Not really. It doesn't really address reconstruction.  It shows the 'scalawags' trying to get Tara for back taxes (true enough), but that's about it.  The whole attack on Scarlett and the "cleaning out" of the criminal’s camp by Frank, Rhett, and Ashley is shown as a "law and order" issue. – having nothing to do with postwar Black-White relations   And when Scarlett is attacked, its by a white criminal with "Big Sam" saving her.  Mammy stays on as a domestic servant, but then why wouldn't she?

None of the other Slaves return to Tara.

3) GWTW reinforces the Racist Confederate view of the Civil war. - Not really. GWTW, at bottom, isn't a history lesson or even a movie ABOUT the Civil War or Reconstruction. Those things are just in the background.  We see everything through Scarlett’s eyes and GWTW is about her struggles, triumphs, and heartbreaks and feelings toward Rhett Butler, Ashley and Melanie.

4) GWTW shows the Yankees in a bad light - This is actually correct. Sherman is wrongly blamed for burning Atlanta during its capture (the fire in the movie was actually set off by the Confederate Army blowing up ammunition trains), Union troops vandalize Tara, a Union bummer shows up to rob Scarlett and we’re supposed to cheer when he’s killed, and Union officer (Ward Bond) tries to arrest Rhett and Ashley for "taking the law into their own hands".  There’s not one good Union soldier in the whole movie.
