It was an insipid piece of trash that was watched largely by white trash. And the fact that morons watched a moronic TV show is completely fucking irrelevant to the fact that the flag is a symbol of treason and racism.It is. Most Americans did not watch that idiotic show. Those that did were, like you, too stupid to know the flag is a rascist symbolIt has not been accepted by generations. It was never flown or displayed from the end of the war until the forties and fifties when it became a symbol of southern, racist opposition to federal civil rights laws and court decisions. It is they symbol of white supremacists and racists. People have been trying to have it removed from state flags for years and protest its use. You seem dumber than Boss Hogg's deputy.the 1920s was before wwii.
the 1980s were after the civil war and the era of desegregation.
the confederate flag was accepted for generations, upto and past the 1980s as a harmless symbol of southern regional pride.
if that was true then why did the america of 1979 not have a problem with it?
for someone as smart as you, that should be easy to answer.
Lots of Americans did watch it, it was a huge hit, with a spin off tv show and lots of merchandising.
those that did, accepted the then tradition of accepting the flag as a harmless symbol of regional pride.
those that did not watch it? complained about the plots and simplistic characters, not the inherent racism of the flag or the car "the general lee".
they were not stupid. they respected a culture not their own.
something modern intolerant bigoted libs cannot do.
it was a huge hit watched by people from all walks of life.
the fact that it's presented the confederate flag as a harmless symbol of southern heritage and that this was accepted by the nation as a whole, without comment, is completely relevant to the fact that the present day hysteria over the flag is a recent invention dating well after the 80s.
