Oh there’s no question that those scenes are uncomfortable to watch. But the folks who created those scenes were most likely part of the Civil Rights movement in their later years—not supporters of George Wallace.

I’m sorry, but that’s ridiculous. You’re basically saying that we should ignore the racism in works because the people that made said racist works probably maybe you think potentially did something to fight racism later. Which is funny, since the film industry has a really bad history when it comes to race and it’s still not exactly a shining example now.
