"In short, this is the first film i've seen that accurately portrays the confederate south as-- in a history littered with slavery and genocide-- quite possibly the most morally corrupt society that has ever existed."

The film squats over and takes a shat on the romanticized notion that there was some grand Gone With the Wind high culture in the South worthy of preserving.

I can't understand any of the arguments that this film in any way glorifies the confederate South. And then in the same breath argues that the film uses the word nigger too much doesn't.make.any.sort.of.logical sense.

I understand why Drudge Report felt it was excessive. It reminds people how ugly white folks have been through most of its history. But why are black people complaining that the movie's depiction of slave owners was tooo....unpleasant?
