The mistaken conclusion you made as a child does not make you stupid. While help understanding the context would have been good, was any harm really done? Once you were older you were able to understand the context, and it's not like you ran off and joined a group of skinheads over it. You probably learned something from the experience itself that you wouldn't have if you'd never made that mistake.

Thinking that liking ~problematic~ material makes you some terrible person and you should never like it? Well that is a ridiculous and illogical conclusion and you should examine it.

Likewise with thinking that media (books, TV, movies) should be hidden because a few people might get the wrong idea from it.

I was just...I was a bit of a little shit about it. I acted like I was so enlightened and I felt so smart for having read it.

And it doesn't help that the town I grew up in is incredibly and deeply racist.

You were 12. We were all probably little shits about some things at that age. And you read a 1000+ page old book as a 12 year old. Just being able to follow, and stay interested in, a story that long was something you could be rightfully proud of.
