Disembodied Spirit Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 And here I thought this show would disappear from TV, because of bad acting, bad writing and the fact it is one of the dumbest shows to ever air on TV. Now should we be hoarding the DVD' s and attending flea markets in Alabama to make a Million???? The Duke boys are being put on the bench.TV Land has pulled reruns of Dukes of Hazzard in light of the recent uproar over the Confederate flag, which is emblazoned on the roof of the show's iconic General Lee 1969 Dodge Charger, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Confederate merchandise has since been dropped by Walmart, Target, Amazon and other businesses after the shooting, which took place at a historic black church.Shortly after the attack, photos surfaced showing alleged shooter Dylann Roof burning one American flag and stepping on another, while waving and posing provocatively with Confederate banners.Warner Bros.' consumer division announced on June 24 that it will stop licensing toy cars and models featuring the General Lee with the flag.

JohnRogers Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I'm no real fans of the Dukes, I get my Mopar porn elsewhere. This is just silly. The show is popular and not racist. I predict it will be back on TV with the flag on the General Lee blurred out. Edited July 1, 2015 by JohnRogers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 While some people see the confederate flag as racist, others see the rainbow flag as representing vile, perverted lifestyles. Human nature... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The flag has been, at a minimum, a symbol of a treasonous, violent rebellion led by military officers who violated their oaths to the U.S. to lead insurrection. I've often wondered why anyone claiming to be patriotic would have anything to do with it for years And overnight this has gone nuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) If the flag was all about slavery, then what glorious thing did the North do after they were freed, because they didn't appear to do very well afterwards. (shhhh, let's not dare mention child labor in the factories). Edited July 1, 2015 by circumstantial tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think people should just get over it. The flag represents different things to different people as does the rainbow flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) The vise tightens even more. When are we going to rise up against what is happening? Probably when it comes knocking at your door. And eventually it will knock on everyone's door. Edited July 1, 2015 by Lorraine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I say it's no great loss since the show kinda sucked, but I don't get the point. They need to educate people instead of just hiding the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I find it incredibly interesting that we as a society, during this information age, are generally utilizing it to push the censorship of media, documents, websites... In this regard, signs of end-times for freedom of thought keep popping up... But I try to be optimistic despite them. We're not going to go off the edge completely, right? We'll stop at about where we are now, keep a healthy enough balance? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered why anyone claiming to be patriotic would have anything to do with it for years And overnight this has gone nuts. Because the US Government was one that derived its strength from dissent and resistance from the moments of its foundation. Patriotism in the United States means constantly rebelling against the powers that be, not accepting them.
