Is it ever o.k. to use the term "Dixie" and not be racist?

I am very liberal and I generally don't like country music. But, on one of those free Xmas music CDs that we got in the mail (time life CD's ... I think they came from Coldwell Banker real estate b/c we rented a condo in Ocean City from CB), there was a country song called "Christmas in Dixie" === and I always liked it.
Is it o.k. to like a song with the word "Dixie" in it? Or should I not listen to it? The song is all about "snow in the pines... merry christmas from Dixie, and peace on earth tonight..." type of stuff. |

Dixie was a pre Civil War term popularized in New Orleans and eventually spread to the rest of the south. It is from the southern Civil War era of slavery so using the word in any context is racist. |

No, using the term is not racist.
This particular song? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_(song) Yeah, that's racist. Racist in its intention, racist in its origin. |

Who are the aggressive posters who make a statement and add a profanity insult at the end? Why? What’s wrong with you? |

| If you say Dixie three times, the ghost of Jefferson Davis will show up with disparaging remarks against President Lincoln. |
