I understand the push to take the Confederate flag down at the South Carolina and Alabama state capitols. But the Dukes? Really?   I get that to a lot of people in this country, the Confederate battle

From what I read of the History of the Civil War, the Confederate soldiers were to busy fighting and dying to commit the atrocities you're referring to.  I'm certainly not proud of what many slave own

I don't think it should burn, its still a part of American history. We need these relics to remind us so that we don't allow it to repeat itself again or raise its's ugly head.

Back on topic.....most people viewed the show to get a glimpse of Daisy in her Daisy Dukes, not to drink beer and scream that the south's gonna do it again. How about some of you just put on your man pants and grow up. 

But it has a battle flag of Tennessee displayed prominently throughout the show, so it has to spew hate and racism.

No problem with that statement. Same rebel spirit that carried over to the south.....hence the "Rebel" flag. Since blacks seem to think this flag represents slavery of the south, what flag represented the slavery of the north? Oh yeah. There were slaves in the north. A huge fact overlooked out of necessity.

​What time period are you referring to the north having slaves. 1990's 1870's 1860's, 1850's, etc?

SInce  the Federal government provides headstones/markers for Confederate Soldiers as well as Union Soldiers, are we going to have to remove the Confederate Soldier headstones since it might be "offensive" to some to have  had that done with taxpayer dollars?

You're right, it seems like it will not stop, until this part of American history is erased.

Been many years since I read 1984, but isn't this bordering on:

We had no Civil War.  We never fought the South, therefore there is no Confederate flag. 

If you've read it, you get the idea.  

If you haven't, you really should.  A piece of fiction that is storming into reality.

​A travesty that probably cannot be reversed.
