So who's taking the flag off their Chargers?

[Lord Warlock]

When I saw the news today that they pulled the DOH reruns because the flag is occasionally seen on top of the car, thought of this thread immediately.  Congratulations to those that let the liberals in charge run amok and now tell us that not only can we not fly the flag at our house(since we can no longer freely buy it to fly, they have caused us to lose this right), we can't even watch a show because of a few visual references?  I feel sorry for the DOH owners who will see the value of their cars drop now that the public has divorced itself from anything Southern.  I can understand removal of a flag from public land, I do not understand why we have to give up anything that has to do with history that has survived just because there was a societal norm of the people back then. 
Even worse, I saw some guy on TV start saying that we need to abolish old movies that depict life in those times, like Gone with the Wind, we aren't allowed to even watch an old movie, because they were portrayed in a way they don't like today.  Jeez, things have gone to the crapper in a very short time.  I didn't think it was possible for one President to let so much progress go to crap and now force their preferences on us over such a short time. He is fundamentally changing the US.  Just as he promised he would.  Can't say you weren't warned.  The US had the chance to end the misery but they somehow elected him again. 

It doesn't matter if we weren't slave holders, nor were we related to any, doesn't matter if we are talking about a small number of people (less than 10 million) compared to today's population of 330 million, and it doesn't matter that today, all of them free, they still only compromise approximately 16% but have the power to erase the past, and rewrite their own.

Actually we still can have it on our house or our cars.   The problem is that now we are going to be targeted/labeled as racists so basically that means we can't.   Like I've stated from the beginning we're losing this right of freedom of speech and expression.  That's what it's turning into just like I said and Ben (cooter) and others are now saying the same thing.   They are ruining everything that was decent like the dukes and others.   News flash, southern states weren't the only states that had slavery.     
I honestly believe that unless things change fast I won't be surprised to hear of someone's General Lee getting vandalized.  Especially in the south.

Or before the sale of Dukes of Hazzard memorabilia gets banned.

The Dukes of Hazzard had more morals than most shows on TV today. I know what I'd rather my kids watch.

[Ghoste]

As opposed to today where a show like The Kardashians gets rolling because one of the daughters is in a sex tape so her mother turns that infamy into a career for the family while her husband secretly wears her clothes.  And when he comes out of that closet the president thinks he is heroic.

[skip68]

They said bonanza will be replacing the dukes.   Ok, I do like bonanza but it has several examples (episodes) That have to do with the civil war or slavery.      wasn't Hopsing the Chinese cook a servant?

  NO FLAG
 NO PEACE

[sunfire69]

The tail is wagging the dog in this country....all the way down to the local governments...we need to change the way we vote or we are doomed to repeat this over and over...not only do we need to change the way we vote but we need to VOTE....EVERYBODY...you need to vote...your friends need to vote...family everybody...

This not a political statement, I don't care what party.....JUST freaking VOTE....vote for their record....not their hair style or how funny the were on late night TV or their gender or the color of their skin...
we have to participate in the process..!!!!

Just like guns when Obama got in, I bet there are more confederate flags flying right now than in history. I had no interest in ARs before, my son and I own 4 now and a cabinet full of ammo. Obama was the best thing for gun sales ever, and the government and others will do more for the South rising again because of their stupid making an issue over a non issue.

[skip68]

I agree.   Why try and start trouble with the south?  These idiots think it's bad before, what are they thinking now or in the coming days, weeks, months?    I'm not a southerner, but I'm 100% on their side for keeping the flag.      
I hope they enjoy the wedge they've created.  And shame on to the company's and government that are caving into these people because of a little pressure.     That's what's ruining this country and making us weak. 

[Ghoste]

The ruckus over the car is actually kind of bizarre to me.  Yes, I see the flag on the roof and yes, I realize that many of the people who are easily offended have been easily offended but I don't get the whole banning of toy cars thing.  I'm naive I guess but I honestly and truly do not believe taking a toy Charger off the shelves is going to do a single solitary thing to prevent hate crimes. 

[skip68]

   I know.  It's not going to do anything other than stir the pot.    maybe that's why Wal-Mart and Warner bros and now NASCAR are doing this on purpose.  They're really on our side and this is only temporary.  They know just as we do that this is only going to make matters worse for the African Americans.   To demonize a car from a t.v. show that everyone (African Americans included) know isn't bad or racist and loved around the world will really make people see what group of people are the real problem.  
I know, kinda out there but I bet that's what is going to be happening. 

All I know is I've spent lots of money buying dukes stuff since I was a kid.  Toys, models, movies and even built a General Lee.   I'm not about to just simply walk away quietly and accept that all of a sudden it's racist and wrong.   Bull ship.    

[keith88]

Cutting the show out of the lineup is just over kill plain and simple but like a lot of things now a days always going to far on a issue to please the majority of people.I understand it but don't agree with it.

[DixieRestoParts]

I'm actually thinking of adding one. What to you think? LOL.

[skip68]

I don't think this is pleasing the majority at all. 

[JB400]

As they say, the South will rise again.  Maybe it will, but in a new meaning.  You can only suppress someone for so long before they'll fight back.

[440]

Could this be the start of the straw that starts a Cival War II ?

[skip68]

Why?    what would we/they be fighting for or about ?  They have their freedom and look what they choose to do with it.  If they can't clean up their own problems with their own people, how and why and what could a civil war do to change all the bad things their culture is riddled with.       White Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, native Americans and so on aren't the problem.  The lifestyle they choose is the problem.  The lack of stable home life and values and role models and teaching right from wrong and being responsible for your actions is the problem.  And on and on and on. 
Crap, I'm dancing over that line again.    Sorry.    

[440]

Over many other political issues with the current government, you can only keep people suppressed for so long.

[keith88]

Could this be the start of the straw that starts a Cival War II ?

That would be a very stupid thing to do!

[Charger-Bodie]

The majority will likely only be dismissed for so long before retaliating in the upside down country.

[keith88]

Regardless who one fells about the flag issue a civil war over it is just insane,theirs a host of other issues that deserve attention than this.....this will blow over in 6 months.

[skip68]

No civil war.  Not even close.  Just the finger pointing and targeting the dukes, General Lee and alike needs to stop.
