The Dukes Of Hazzard Dropped By Tv Land

http://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/dukes-hazzard-dropped-tv-land-150101689.html

I really have NO WORDS!!!!

This country is so screwed up its not funny!!

 

:iagree:

 

Preposterous.

 

hasnt been on tv for a long long long time.. show did nothing but destroy 69 dodge chargers. hundreds of them..

 

Political correctness gone far astray.

 

when are they going to take the offensive Hogans Heroes off the air. show is so stupid with the painted snow and crickets chirping.. wtf!!!

 

They dropped it because of the confederate flag on the car, not because it's a really, really stupid show...

 

Who the fuck watched that tripe anyway?

 

That's not the point.

 

Ridiculous.

 

May not be the point--but who the fuck watched that tripe anyway.

The point MAY be, that black folks are damned tired of having that flag shoved in their faces for over a hundred years, reminding them that they were human machinery---and that plenty still revere that fact. Proud heritage, indeed. 7 black churches burnt RECENTLY----COINCIDENCE, OF COURSE.
And frankly, I don't give a shit one way or the other---that show was about as stupid as it gets. Plus --------I'M WHITE, so the flag doesn't bother ME AT ALL. But if people don't realize the implications to black people of flaunting it---there is probably no help for them.

Then again---it's just a piece of cloth and it's probably good that blacks can see it around--let's them know who is who. The subtle racism is the most insidious.

 

And it has nothing to do with politics or so-called political correctness. It has to do with showing ones ass in public---that one is a fucking insensitive lout, and is damn proud of it.

Let's ride around with some Nazi flags and celebrate that heritage. OOOOOOOOOOOOO---that's different. Right.

And I want to state right here and now----what I say does not make TRUTH. This is MY truth and that's the way I see it. So, no one has to pile on my ass--just keep flying your flag THAT DETERMINES YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES--oops--I mean Heritage.

 

And yes---I'm having a bad day. Fuck it and fuck it again.

this an old piece from Cooters Place ..

 

"We are the Goons of Hazzard,
Glorified on your tv,
We'll run down bikes and hitch hikers,
'Cause we know we'll get off Scott Free!" Dead Kennedy's.

It's funny I've been reading a lot of opinions on this subject and letting those of both sides inform mine.

All you have to do is read my opinions on most interracial porn and the big black cock fantasy in the Love and Sex sub forum to see where I stand on racism. If you do you will see that I'm not a big supporter.

One opinion that I've read recently was from Charlie Daniels who's music for me is kind of a guilty pleasure. How he put the whole flag thing is that it is a symbol and symbols mean different things to different people. After slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow etc. The South got to be the butt of a lot of jokes, and the people got stereotyped as stupid, inbred, backwoods, racist hicks. I know that I've made those jokes about it. I honestly think that if you are white the only three places on earth you aren't allowed to say you are proud to be from are, Germany, The American South, and possibly South Africa. If you say you are proud of being from any of those places you are generally branded as a Nazi, or racist of some sort. To him the Confederate flag is a symbol of where he is from that doesn't have race attached to it . To others it represents lynchings, slavery and oppression.

It can also become a slippery slope. It starts with the confederate flag. Then it is civil war memoribilia. Then it is civil war reenactments. Then it is racist advertising from the early 20th century. The list can go on. I realize I'm starting to sound like one of those hysterical bigots. I know they aren't coming to take our guns etc.

As Scratcho pointed out the Confederate flag is a piece of cloth. In the light of the events of the last couple of weeks it is also being used as a distraction from bigger issues. Walmart is banning Conferderate Flags but still selling guns. Sout Carolina is passing laws making it harder for Black People to vote. They are also gutting Medicaid and programs to help the poor. And all people seem to care about is the stupid fucking flag!

Imagine there is an afterlife and you were one of the 9 victims of this attack. Imagine knowing that your death could've been used as impetus for real change and equality but instead knowing that it got that fucking flag taken down.

I thought the General Lee was pretty wicked bad ass.

 

Jeb Stuart and George Pickett would have liked the car better. Much more their style. Lee was serious and calm.

 

Dropping it for the latter reason would make more sense.

 

Hear hear! :cheers2:

Quoted for emphasis. Basically why I have been expressing my thoughts on this matter in other threads about this.

I would love to drive it

 

TV land is just trying to jump on the bandwagon. They didn't give 2 shits a week ago.

and can I just express how hypocritical it is for wal mart of all places to stop selling the confederate flag. Wal mart supports modern day slavery. Its completely fucking disgusting.

I've been pretty vocal here about my feelings on the flag, but I feel the only real issue is removing it from government property, which is essentially a local issue in SC and maybe that state that has it on their state flag (is it Mississippi?).

otherwise the issue has really been overblown. Meanwhile wal mart is going to continue supporting sweatshops and buying seafood caught by slaves and moving into small towns and ruining local economies. But yay for not selling a flag and taking the moral high ground, wal mart.
