The thing is, when the Dukes of Hazzard came out (late 70s, early 80s IIRC) the Confederate Battle Flag wasn't considered a racist symbol. If it had been, it never would have had the prominence it did on national TV. It's only in the last 5 years or so that leftist nutjobs have gone on and on bleating that it's a "symbol of racism".
What's next, eliminating American Indian symbols and heritage because they waged war on the US?
Everything is turning into a "symbol of racism".
Look at what they've turned a plan brown paper bag into..a racist term.
I like the way the level of hatred has declined in the wake of the various progressive media crusades. The country has never been more united and relaxed. All it took was the demonization of straight white men, the ubiquity of vulgar tattoos, and the denial of collective historical responsibility.

We should demand all German Mercedes, VW's and BMW's dealerships be closed and the cars no longer sold in the US.
They were all used in the war to kill US soldiers and a symbol of racism.

Daisy Duke does look good in those shorts.
You sexist objectifying misogynist, you bet she does.
"As in other maritime colonies of New England, the chief families were among the chief slavers. Cornelius Waldo, maternal great-grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson, was a slave merchant on a large scale, a proud importer of "Choice Irish Duck, fine Florence wine, negro slaves and Irish butter." His ship, Africa, plied the Middle Passage packed with 200 black people at a time crammed below-decks, though lethal epidemics of "flux" sometimes tore through the captives and cut into Waldo's profits. Peter Fanueil, meanwhile, inherited one of the largest fortunes of his day, which was built in large part on his uncle's slave trade. His philanthropy with this money gave Boston its famed Fanueil Hall."
Yes, we are all aware there was slavery in the North as well at one point, that still doesn't change my point.
