Seriously? Banning The "Dukes"? Lets also ban "Gone With The Wind"!


I am tired of this Politically Correct B.S. over something that was never an issue... YEARS AGO!

I loved this show as a kid. There was never anything racist about it. The Dukes had all kinds of Friends. Even bad boy Boss Hogg didn't agree with racism and killing.



BUT, if all you whiney "Armchair Blogger" critics, who MUST insist that the 30 YEAR OLD TV Show "Dukes Of Hazzard" should be banned, just because, and for the ONLY REASON that, the General Lee was painted with a Confederate Flag on the top of the car...

Then let's ban ALL FILMS and so forth that shows any "Confederate Flag", or slaves, or servants in them. After all, if one thinks "The General Lee" is offensive, then why not films like "Gone With The Wind". Or other movies that were done with a Civil War setting?

Surely you must find those equally offensive or even more so! Let us burn all books from that era too. Anything talking about "racism" & "slavery" needs to go!

Burn Burn Burn! Destroy Destroy Destroy! Let's eliminate our past! Yeah!



My Point Being, If you are going to complain about some pointless issue, concerning a TV Show that went off the air 30 YEARS AGO, then complain about the same issue equally with everything else.

Seriously Though...

You people need to grow up! The world is not all "Puppy Dogs and Candy Canes"! It's never going to be either! There are all sorts of bad things, and REAL EVIL out there. Complaining about a 35 Year Old "Car"... or having "Snow White" banned from (Qatari) School Libraries for being "too Sexy", or being too scary because there is a "Witch" in it... is really Childish! Find some ADULT cause, that is happening NOW, that REALLY matters!

It appears The Dukes of Hazzard is the only thing with the Confederate Flag that's banned. Everything else, including Gone With the Wind and Smokey and the Bandit, is still there.

And since it is supposed to be "equal" any shows where black people make racial comments/jokes about white people, or shows hatred of white people, etc., needs to be banned too.

Oh wait. Blacks don't like that kind of equality.

Let's not give them any ideas.

Ban everything! Ban ban ban! That'll teach everyone. :)

I thought everyone agreed to not post on here so it never can trend again on moviechat

Only you said that. No one agreed with you at all.
