Have you seen the latest auto trade commercial?
THey have the Dukes Of Hazzard driving around in their old Gen Lee.
Very careful to NOT show the top of the car, which in the show was covered by a Confederate Flag.
Is it weird to you that the Dukes of Hazzard was a big nation wide hit, what with your view on the flag?
Its weird that a show about a pair of white outlaws who regularly ran the police off the road and on street chases was a hit.
Actually no I'm not, white law breaking is fun / funny
Not really. REbels, criminals, ect. are often the stars of shows.
BUt it is strange to me that the ire at this old flag has grown recently.
One would think that as time passes that old wounds would heal, not grow worse.
It is almost as though the old injustices are not really what the issue is.
Yeah they are stars of a show...if they're white.
The reason for it is unknown but people are tired of hearing why they shouldnt be offended by something so offensive.
One would think that if one never faced injustice.
Its almost as though you are trying to set up a deflection but you wont commit. Or that the old justices werent that bad in your eyes so you are amazed at how those can still be offensive.
Ever watch Blade the TV series? Blade wasn't playing by the rules and he was the star of that show.
"Old injustices"? But those "old injustices" were LESS old in the 80s when the show aired. Why was it cool for the Duke Boys to show the Confederate Flag then, but not now?
The one about Vampires (vampires arent real).
It wasnt cool then either but blacks didnt have as big of a voice as they do now
