isn't it "Birth of a Nation" that's about the KKK? GWTW is pretty
pro-South, but I don't remember the KKK being in it. (But then again,
I think I saw it 30 years ago.)
Yes, The Birth of a Nation is about the KKK and pro-Southern whites,
but so is Gone with the Wind, though more ambiguously so. Ashley
Wilkes, Scarlet's original love and the mirror of Southern gentlemen,
is a member of the Klan.
