What time is it?
The Dukes of Hazard aren't racist. Everyone on the show is treated equally.
Never trust a man named "Cooter".

Lol, you're so salty about....something. Also, thanks for helping Trump get elected in 2016. Sounds like you're still unhinged though.It was flown by the morons who idolized the morons who wanted to keep slaves in the American south, and ended up getting their asses kicked. It's not even the real confederate flag, the second version of which looked more appropriately like the white flag of surrender (you can't make this shit up). It's the battle flag (ironic, because they absolutely sucked at battle) which was appropriated sometime after the war, as a means of intimidating freed blacks and other minorities. The design itself is fairly interesting (I thought so too when I was young), I can't deny that. But it also ironically takes cues off the British union jack, a country the US defeated to gain independence.
It speaks a lot about the herpy-derpy, inbred dumbassery that was the confederate south, and how they didn't have a single original idea...not even slavery. But some people will claim it as their heritage, because...well...they're not very smart.

It was great. And likely the reason that 95% of people would use it in Forza.That was my absolute favorite show as a kid. Every Friday night!
Sure, should make an ISIS flag design too since you don't care what a flag might represent, no biggie for you my man.But let's be honest, in Forza its use 99% of the time is for General Lee replicas, I don't care what the flag might represent, it's a driving game. I like driving around in my General Lee replica. Because it's cool AF

Perhaps the democrat logo should be banned as well since the Confederate state was backed by the Democrats party.
I must have missed the classic 80's TV show that featured an iconic car sporting the ISIS flag on its roof.Sure, should make an ISIS flag design too since you don't care what a flag might represent, no biggie for you my man.

Oh god it's the classic liberal argument "logic".Sure, should make an ISIS flag design too since you don't care what a flag might represent, no biggie for you my man.
^True statement if you know literally nothing about the political history of the US or are arguing in bad faith to prove a nonexistent point.
lol you're so salty about rewriting history and the meaning of a flag that stands for a group of scum that killed real americans so they can keep owning people.
Ah.... to be a Neo MemberRacists don't know what virtue signalling even means. This is implementing new policies to correct an omission. "Bu-bu-buh ma hairtij!" Cry me a river. Racists have taken more Ls in 2020 than the Confederacy did in is entire, sad and pitiful existence.

Most likely. Been a huge influx of them latelyReeeeefugee?
Reading the responses in here, yes, they are crushed. If you wait for wholesale change, you'll wait forever. Incremental change is better than no change. You might understand that if you spent decades experiencing the other side, after coming from a country where you were once the majority and never experienced racism growing up. You can make more sarcastic quips about it, but makes no difference to me. This isn't about you.
Not really. Not sure anyone even implied that. I watched the Dukes of Hazard growing up, and quite enjoyed the show and the General Lee. I also didn't know anything about the symbols, as I wasn't even living in America. I lived in a country where everyone looked like me. Now that I understand the history of the symbol, and spend most of my life in the racist-ass American south, I have a much different opinion of the show. You wouldn't think the symbol means enough for people to be offended, but then look at you. You're clearly a product of the loser's flag being bandied about as a benign symbol, when it's not. That's why policy changes like this matter. We don't care if current racists continue down their paths of ignorance. It's about fomenting change, so that future generations can eventually live in a world rid of dimwits.
If you never start, you'll never finish. This is a start. I wish it was more, but we take what we can get.
Seems like a good idea to me.
But I'm not American, I have only heard negative things about the flag and seems to be loved by rednecks which re-enforces its bad image.
Maybe there is something positive about the flag if someone could explain what I am missing?
That was my absolute favorite show as a kid. Every Friday night!
Me too. I remember Reagan gave an address one night that pre-empted the show. I was so pissed and made my mom promise to wake me up if DOH came on after the speech. Which of course it didn't. At that age I had no concept of the flag or what it meant despite having some best friends that were black. I just thought it looked cool. Now, I know better. Let's be honest there are a lot of things that we did or watched back in those days that we wouldn't do or condone today. Times and people change. We should always try to learn and improve, even if it means acknowledging that we were wrong or misinformed about something in the past. Ignoring it and refusing to fix a wrong is worse than dealing with a little embarrassment.
I once lived near a friend who had a Confederate flag in their living room...walked in and out of the house in one piece, all my limbs were still attached...he was a bit of a country redneck but also pretty chill and liked cars a lot.
We actually kept in touch for a long while afterwards, this all started back in high school. And no, I'm not white. So....why are the indoctrinated college babies crying about a virtual flag in a racing game again?
How about showing some empathy for the people that are negatively affected by it?

Shed any tears over the lack of Nazi memorials or symbols? No? Okay. Why would I care or respect the memorials to people who fought for slavery? I don't know if you know what the stupid thing is here.So like uh actually the ANV Battle Flag was/is the flag for the Sons of the Confederacy was flown at memorial services. The Dixiecrats brought the flag back and indoctrinated it with hate and segregation as those were the ideals Dixiecrats were pushing. Ever since then the flag got sucked into pop culture and became a nation wide fad for “rebels” “rednecks” “good ole boys” and rock music. Which those same politicians and confederacy groups hated, and tried to push legislation saying it was desecration and trivialization of their flag.
So your literally for stopping that desecration and trivialization of the Rebel flag and agree with Confederate Heritage Groups.
See how stupid you look now, when you don’t understand something.
Confederate Heritage Groups and the people that flew that flag literally hated that their flag became pop culture and was trivialized and taken to mean something totally different.
Smh fucking clown world man
I didn't even make it political. I like that you automatically associated my anti-racism comments with a particular political party. These are logical leaps that you'd probably try to argue against in another topic.Lol, you're so salty about....something. Also, thanks for helping Trump get elected in 2016. Sounds like you're still unhinged though.
I said there's racism everywhere? Have a lot of colored straw to build your straw men out of? I don't even know what the second point is that you're trying to make.But people like you says that racism is everywhere, that there are racists in every corner and that all the problems of society and all the problems of minorities are caused by racists.
By your own saying, racists are winning like crazy. They are moping the floor with the “”””non racists”””.
Yes. Never experienced racism until i moved to the US. Does that mean I should ignore the racist history of the flag?So your not from the country and it offends you because you moved to the 'racist ass south'?

In the end, own who you are. Call me leftist, or throw around whatever other labels you like. I can live with those. I've heard worse from better people. However, some of you clearly can't stomach the thought of being called racist, eventhough that's pretty much what you present yourselves as in the process of making these responses. Only one of us seems to be comfortable with who he presents himself to be, and he's the author of this post.
I'm not on a pedestal, but I'm not a racist. Point out where I've taken a stance against any particular race, or promoted a symbol that would offend any particular race. I'm new to the forum, but commented enough on race and SJW topics that you can probably note I don't speak negatively of anyone except those that are intolerant. And I make no apologies for that. No rational person ever got angry at someone for being too tolerant of others.Call everyone else a racist when you're called out while putting yourself on a pedestal like an arrogant prick.
Yeah, you're definitly not full of shit.

And yes, I think if you try to defend something like a swastika or the confederate flag, that you are racist. Walks like it. Talks like it. So the saying goes. Don't want to be called racist? Don't do racist shit. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. There are so many of these useful sayings that so many constantly forget or ignore, and end up embarrassing themselves.
