I feel so ashamed. I thought the General Lee was the shit when I was a youngin'. That was a racist whip if there ever was one.
Hypestyle,this is the 21 Century where a You Tube clip would last a long time. Homeboy will not get a good job and everyone would say "Hey that's the Black man who hates his race".
Oh, I forgot! Nipper from Morrie Turner's Wee Pals comic strip and the tv cartoon "Kid Power". He wears a Confederate hat on his head.
Leave the kid be. He wants to display that flag? Then that's his personal way of thinking. Who knows...he could very well be the face of the Black KKK one day.
Yeah I use to watch it to, when I was a kid. Never knew what that flag on the car represented. But when I found out, I too felt ashamed.
I remember the show and the movie that inspired it. My theory was the NAACP was either in a weak position in 1979 or they did not care about that tv show.
You know that shows bullshit reruns still comes on, guess what channel. "The Country Music channel". Them rednecks love that show.
General Lee's horn was the really fucked up part. First off you got a car named 'The General Lee', famed General of the seditionist Confederate army. There's a Confederate flag on the hood. And that damn horn.

LOL, forget all that I just watched the show for Daisy Duke. Dukes Of Hazzard was the sh!t. I never saw the original series but watched it on CMT when it was on in reruns.
This is the new way to spin old ignorant bullshit and keep it alive. The same thing is happening with the attempts to rewrite the Civil War by claiming it was not over the issue of slavery but rather over oppressive federal economic policies. Clearly some insidious & genius level thinking going on if you can have Black people willing to buy into it as this shows.
Catherine Bach today does not look like the Daisy Duke of old. She's a Latina like Racquel Welsh and boy she was hot!
Only morons, simps and redneck bigots would believe that for a second. They can try to spin it but it is what it is. Covering up a turd with fancy ointments and sprays will still leave it smelling like sh!t. The world knows what went on below the Mason-Dixon line and no amount of rewriting can alter that hard, cold fact. oppressive federal economic policies The entire Southern economy was based on oppression of blacks for economic profit. So any revisionists are surely using the right terms oppressive economic policies, they just need to check their application. of it.
Ha think I remember seeing that in a poly sci text it's incredible that slavery got abolished in the first place I guess lots of whites in that time were fed up with it or something, because there wasn't much blacks could really do back then
