Admittedly it is screwed up but the Dukes were not the cause.

Dude, I take it you are a Dukes fan?

I am proud to say I never watched a single episode.

I don't think I ever got more than about halfway through the intro before I either switched channels or turned the TV off.

If you are sad that the Dukes of Hazard is off TV then you are beyond help on so many different levels.

Interesting at this relatively late date the apparently ignorant use of Confederate iconography to make the show look all South-y, in spite of the S&B notorious association with overtly racist attitudes (the lost cause mythology notwithstanding).

If that was directed at me, no I was not a fan but it was only a TV show. Plenty of other things screwed up this country.

Have you seen CSA the movie?
Disturbing yet intriguing alternate history.

In the 1970s you would see that flag in Ohio pretty regularly, on cars and even in dorm room windows. I think maybe American society then did not see it as offensive as today. Maybe as a nation we had our collective blinders on.
