This show was not racist ever. We watched every Friday. I am a black female
Thank you , im a white old man and I use to watch Sanford and Son, we loved the show !
I'm white and loved Sanford and still watch him on RUclips
The car was named after one of the biggest racists in history. A guy who was responsible for thousands of young men being killed in his fight to keep slavery. Robert E Lee. It doesn't get much more racist than that
@@johnyoung9874Yes sir. Sanford and son, Good Times, the Jeffersons, etc all great shows! Other great ( but little less old ) shows were Martin, Fresh Prince, Family Matters, etc!
In the show black people were just like anybody else they were just characters in the episode they weren't stereotypes they weren't there because they were black they were just ordinary people alongside ordinary people which is surely what we're aiming for . Instead of all this I've got to be in a hate group because I'm different to you .
😂😂😂 We need better schools and education system
I'd settle for schools and education system that does not indoctrinate.
@@jjc4577 wishful thinking.
Yeah. Schools like where John went to we get people who don't assume a battle flag that was seldom used is an extremely racist symbol
@@Rc-ho4sv don't I know it.
Preach!!
I love the show, I love the flag, as a black man...... I love the Dukes of Hazzard, the flag don't mean anything, it's a great wholesome show, I've seen every episode a dozen times over, both 1997 movies too..... All and all, it's just a comedy show
Hey there.
The rebel flag is the flag that stands for rebellion against a corrupt Authority.
What was the show mainly about?
Prohibition of alcohol.
They ran moonshine. The rebel flag was a big middle finger to the corrupt local government, mayor, and the police.
They were always stopping Boss Hog's corrupt scheming. That flag was a middle finger to corruption so of course real world Politicians are going to negatively propagandise against any sign that is in derect opposition to their authority.
Didn't we all loved Daisy Duke. She brought all us men together😂
Are you black?
@@cameroncooper9501 amen to that, brother and that orange comet whooooo still a dream of mine to tear up Hazzard in that..... And fake out Roscoe and enos and speed off into the hills
The Confederate flag meant something to the Confederates who were trying to destroy America. It meant something to those southern white racist trying to keep black people enslaved. The Confederate Battle flag meant something to Republicans who waved the Confederate Battle flag inside of the Capitol building for the first time in American history during their January the 6th insurrection. I wish I knew how many black people were hung on trees while white people in their Sunday Best watched
Laughing and smiling having a good time waving that meaningless Confederate flag. The Confederate Battle flag isn't meaningless to white people that's for sure. So carry on black man. You should get a Confederate flag to wave proudly.
It's a rebel flag never ever thought of it any other way...
Loved "The Dukes of Hazard" and so did the rest of my Black Family and that flag is a part of American History and I don't want it swept away!
I grew up watching the Dukes with my black friend and his family and never thought about any rasim guess I learned well from them
Hello dear fan
Yeah right. How come I don't believe for one second you are black ? I guess it's because my black friends unlike you, actually do know history
I was only watching an episode yesterday and there was a black guy that turns up and he's just part of the whole story not a stereotype not because the part of the story needed a black guy ,just because he is a normal person like anyone else .
Yes we all were it was a very funny show it wasn't racist at all but they was undercover with it. We all thought we was passed it. But we didn't think he was racist. Stop taking up for people only people know who they are
me and my brother ( r.i.p.) we use to watch the duke of Hazzard we loved the show and the car
Lost a brother myself. God bless you 🙏
@@pennybenton5607 I lost my money. God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Even the theme song "We're just the good ol' boys never meanin no harm" see no harm and 'fightin the system like two modern day robin hoods'
"Rebels" in real life believed they were "good ol boys" with the rights to own human beings
@seewhativescene Yeah, no, not what I meant. I meant real rebels like heroes, not slave owners.
@@seewhativescene ruclips.net/video/fDkyL9c0QdY/видео.html
@@seewhativescene again the rebel flag that those Good Ol' Boys stand for are different than the confederates flag
I am black and I loved everything about the show. I didn't see racism, because it didn't exist on the show. I would proudly sport around in the General Lee and dare anyone to issue with it.
Sheriff Little was The Man! Sure miss those days!
I grew up watching the Dukes with my black friend and his family never thought about any rasim guess they tough me well
I love how some people find racism, where there is none. That makes them the racist.
Exactly brother
Fricken everything is perceived as racist now. Trip on the sidewalk and spill your grocery bag.. that's racist.
These self-claimed "Anti-Racists" are now the new racists. If they can't find any racism, then they create racism. These people disgust me.
Ok then why does every racist group hold that flag so dearly. So your guilty by association. Like swastika. It's a ancient Asian symbol. But every racist sees it that way
I agree 100%!!
The whole dukes of Hazzard show was simply about neighbors-helping-neighbors in addition to fighting a corrupt system!
Yeah, as long as the neighbours were white. Or name the episode where the Dukes helped out their black neighbours ? This was supposed to be rural Georgia after all
@@jupitermoongauge4055that sounds a tad bit racist.
I was having problems with public officials and said I'm sick to death of this Dukes of Hazzard style politics and they actually knew what I meant , which was quite funny because it was in Australia
@@James-kv6kb that is terrific! Not that you were having the trouble but they actually knew what you were saying about the Dukes of Hazzard . According to Miss Daisy Duke there's a reunion coming up with the remaining cast. We'll see.
White neighbors helping white neighbors. We was dumb enough to think y'all had changed, but trump did one good thing and showed us y'all haven't.
Hey folks, it's a TV show. So chill. The General Lee and characters were supposed to be rebels like uh the rebels I guess in star wars that some of you freak out about
Exactly. They’re just a show and they themselves are not racist
How do you explain general Lee?
Good grief people it is not racist.General Lee was a car they were actors get over it
@Mark Armstrong Funny that no confederate solider was ever tried for treason. Jefferson Davis was held in jail for two years and actually wanted to be tried for treason. Weird that we'll know abolitionists bailed him out of jail. Hate when republicans claim Lincoln freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation which was only an executive order which could be rescinded by the next president and it only applied to southern states. The 13th amendment ended slavery. General Grant held on to his slaves until the 13th was passed.
@@shakeemdiggz2354 they used different Confederate leaders for previous cars they had so it's tradition
He looks great even after all these years. Loved show when I was kid.
In Hazzard county you were treated like family no matter what color you were or if you were an alien from another planet, I'm proud to say I own the entire DVD set of the Dukes and am a huge fan and always will be, as far as the Confederate flag? let people cry, they'll get over it., Very well said John!!!
Oh really ? How many black friends did the Dukes have ? None.
Well said, Jay!!! Well said!!!
Not only did the Americans love it but it was probably the most popular show in Australia when it was on everybody was watching.
They had many black friends starting right from the very first episode his name was Brody then there was Otis J Christmas special and they had many black characters in positive roles such as in law enforcement Sheriff little FBI agents so don't bother commenting on it. Maybe except for your favorite show The Cosby Show oh that's right he's a serial rapist and that show still on TV. You can't cancel a black formatting family television show let's not forget about Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons both racist TV shows . Which I found both very amusing and funny I guess I have thicker skin. I would never ask a network to refuse airing a show because it offended me it's called a remote control you change the channel.
John is a great guy! Love the show growing up. Never once took it as racist…cause it’s not.
It categorically is.
How many black people had roles on The Dukes Of Hazard ? Seems funny that their was virtually none when it was supposed to be set in Georgia.
The car was named after a guy who fought to keep slavery. It doesn't get much more racist than that. Get your head out of your butt
Again you two are just looking for trouble and arguments. They had black people in their episodes all the time. I live right on the South Carolina/Georgia border. Ain’t nobody think it’s racist.
Love memories of, The Dukes of Hazard, and the, General Lee! Yahoo! 🌟🇺🇲🌟🇺🇲🌟
Leave it up to John to put a racist in his place! Love you John. Keep telling it like it is!
Wait, John is the one defending the racist flag, and the Black interviewer did not put John in his place.
You two are talking past each other and are each making assumptions about one another and the situation. I don't believe that either John Schneider or the interviewer are racist. But they do have different subjective reactions to the rebel flag.
Looks like there just over 100 people that think the confederate flag isn't a racist symbol. Progress?
Where was the racism in this clip? Are you senile?
Schneider has gone full Maga. He has been racist all along
It's was an entertaining show.
Thank you John for stating it sweeter than I could
Because you're uneducated.
He did a great job explaining this
I grew up in the south. I never was pro rebel flag. It didn't affect me. In Tennessee we have a few blacks sporting the thing.
.
Does anyone actually believe that the OK sign is racist?
.
I just think there's a lot of people with way too much time on their hands that just want to look for something to be offended by.
They have a victim mentality. Their whole life they will be a victim. Suits me fine. They can burn in it.
You hit the nail on the head 👍
Same here except I am still growing up in Indiana and at the moment I am 14, the dukes of hazzard has been a great thing for me and my childhood so far
@@rissu8573
Great show. It was never just about the flag. It was about rebelling against corrupt authority in Government.
What does the rebel flag stand for? The message that Authoritarians don't want you to understand. Your racist if you support the right to bare arms.
You're sexist, racist, homopobic transphobic and you will be doxed, possibly lose your job, get expelled from school or be violently attacked if you disagree with their BS. That is Authoritarian and believe it or not Fascistic so of course these people will hate any form of what? Any form of Rebellion against their BS, Globalist, You'll own nothing and be happy, agenda.
That's a rant but that's why they hate the rebel flag.
@@justdrewtheultramagaspoonc5043 I could not put it better, the flag shows just how much you are willing to rebel to keep your rights and your freedoms no matter what race you are…
John is a great guy and American patriot he isnt a racist and neither is the Confederate flag you people made it racist.
It was made racist by the ones that made it, by the confederates that chose sedition over their rights to own slaves and by the KKK who fly it proudly today. If you're okay with being lumped in with that crowd then you are one too. Willfil ignorance of symbols is no excuse.
@@raisedphoenix you are an idiot MADE RACIST BY THE CONFEDERATES ,what a dumbass ,it was used by alot of people but it isnt Confederates .there was black Confederate soldiers that would disagree with your propaganda its whiteys fault. Stop living backwards if you are black you ain't oppressed and you have been free. You act like you are still a slave. Did you know the first slave ships were owned by blacks the globalist want us fighting each other so we dont wake up to them using all of us as slaves to our jobs now they want everyone dead but you are so racist you vant see it
You people???
The Confederate Flag, Robert E Lee’s Statue, and Jim Crow Laws were items of intimidation after the Emancipation Proclamation. White folks wanted uppity Black folks to know that they still had their “knees on their necks.”
It's a bit of an embarrassment when grown men and women have such touchie feelings that a flag or statue or a plague can wreck their life to the point of distress and anger.
Great post
Hey clueless, the actual history escapes your cornbread ass, I see.
It's an operation. when everything the masses believe to be is a lie the elites work is complete. they want us to believe poor founding stock americans against immigrant yankee influence are the epitome of evil and slavers.
Some people get butt hurt, petty bs is not needed
It’s also funny that Americans fly the flag of a nation that got whooped by the USA. Maybe they should fly a white flag since the Condeferates did surrender unconditionally lmao.
I still pump Waylon Jennins in my 2017 Dodge Challenger. That show will always be my child hood show❤️💯
Me too bizzy
@@coldhardtruth233 RIDE ON BROTHER!🫡🫡🙏🙏🙏
My favorite show. And loved James Best as sheriff Roscoe.
I feel like Uncle Jesse running around in my second gen F-150 because it has five speed manual I thought about putting a CB in it. Shepherd to lost sheep
Very well said, perfect answer. One of the best shows ever. I bought the whole set before I can't. Hopefully that never happens
It's a battle flag, nothing more, flags have been used in battles since the time of ancient. Rome.
Thank you!👏❤️🔥
👍👍👍👍👍👍👌🖖🤘
The creator of the flag in his own words designed it for one reason and one reason only to represent white supremacy. How do y'all love this flag so much but have no idea what it was created to represent.
@@marywalker5348 It's still only a flag, what it represents can only hurt you, if u choose to let it.
@@christianguenther1276 tell the Jewish people the Nazi flag is "just a flag and it can only hurt you if you choose to let it". But I see it as a blessing in disguise because it shows me the character of the person who carries it. Just like anyone who carries a Nazi flag. And it's funny the same people who love this flag so much and proclaim it's "my heritage" are the same people who think factual history should be white washed and none of the horrific things done in this country and by this country should be taught in schools.
And it seems the same people who think this is "just a flag' get upset when they see an ISIS flag. Both represent terrorists and the rebel flag is even worse because it represents treason to the country y'all claim to love so much. It's not a battle flag it's in the same category as the Nazi flag.
If this flag bothers you then dont look at it and dont watch the tv showsor movies.
Well said John … I am Cuban/American and and I love the Rebel Flag and I love the Dukes of Hazard❤️.
The world could use an Uncle Jesse right now that's for damn sure...
John tells it like it is !
John is a legend in his own right. I agree with John, it means "Fighting The System." I too have lived in the south & I have seen people still hanging on to the Civil War. The man who used to fill my propane tank was born & raised in the south & he said that people should move on & the past is the past.
I am with you John. In my high school black and white carried the rebel flag. Ronnie Van Zant my all time favorite singer songwriter was certainly not racist. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock not racist. Because we love the flag does not mean we are racist.
same with hank Williams Jr
Nothing like being called a racist from 1979.
Glad you set them straight, they want to label everything hatred or racist flag
This flag means to me. My great great grandfather was a farmer out plowing when the blue soldier came on him shot him and killed him and threw his body In a cave his body still there. He wasn't even a soldier he was a pasture who was just working his land.
It was during that war and so the flag let's us never forget him and wh we re he was in that time. It keeps his memories alive.
Good for you, John!! Hooray for Dixie!!❤️
It is a flag for rebels. Thank you John.
Proud that it was filmed in my hometown in Georgia & I was lucky enough to be in the 1st episode 1978
Thanks, John. we love ya❣️ Love the show, all the cast members & General Lee 🚗 ❣️. if "they" don't like the show-- don't watch the repeats ❣️Show is in the past & now is now-- people need to STOP tearing this down & apart!!!
Yep I agree with you John. I'm a man of color and grew up to the Duke boys. Never gave it any thought till someone explained it too me as I got older. Still does not bother me. And I am still a big fan of the show and you sir. Let's change with the times and get out of the past.
Whatever memories you have of the show does not make it racist nor was it ever meant to be racist. I believe it was meant to be a family fun show with cool fast cars and good looking people in the country. Flag or no flag, it was a good fun show. 😀
Good for the host to discuss this in a thoughtful way.
I was in 8th grade in 1978 in Buffalo, Ny. I had excellent teachers that taught the TRUTH and they taught it passionately. My history teacher said: one day they will TRY to tell you that the Civil war was fought over slavery. It's important to know that is NOT the truth. IF the civil war was fought over the issue of slavery then WHY did Lincoln wait about A YEAR and EIGHT MONTHS to declare the slaves free via the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION which he issued on January first 1863 ? The American Civil War was the result of senators and congressmen arguing over the TRUE right of the individual states to settle issues regarding commerce and local laws and regulations that the Federal government had no business regulating within each state. The division between the industrialized North(East) and the Southern states was so divisive that senators and congressmen we're assaulting each other ( physically fighting ) in the congressional chambers. The North wanted a powerful CENTRALIZED Federal style of government while the South wanted what the Constitution specified: a DECENTRALIZED government with power to the individual states to determine local laws, regulations and commerce. The North won out and today we have the all powerful, central "BIG BROTHER" that towers over all of us and shoves things down our throats like education policy ( common core ).
Another insight Mr. R.H. Miller had the vision to see was: " someday they will try to tell you that World War 2 was fought because of what Hitler was doing to the Jews. That World War 2 was fought to liberate the Jews. That's just NOT the truth."
I'm glad every1 has his or her own thoughts on the rebel r Confederate flag all u really need to do is go back n reread ur history books and u will know the real reason of the war and it kinda wasn't the flag
Hello, I got a question to ask Sir.
In your own opinion, the democratic party of the civil war period was the same of today or no?
@@robertodimarino9761loaded question
The "states' rights" the Confederacy seceded over was the right to own and trade slaves. The federal courts had already long established that the federal government was the ultimate lawmaking body of the land and that their rules superceded the states' rights. It was about slavery. And since they fired the first shots, I'm of the opinion that a bit of treason was also at the forefront of the federal government's minds.
Those were great memories we shared as a family. We never thought it was racist of any kind. The good guys were fighting the bad boys.
I enjoyed it too. Now I know that the flag on the roof and the name of the car celebrated racism. I've learned and I've grown up. The same can't be said for the arrogant narcissist has been John Schneider
@@jupitermoongauge4055move beyond your hate. - a black man
they were anti heroes. they still very much broke the laws and fought authority.
So if the Nazi flag means something different to me it’s ok to fly it?
according to john anything can mean anything. nothing means what i think it means because john thinks he has reality warping powers in order to just redefine what things are
Well said
Thank you John for putting this Sally man in his place. Great show and a huge part of my youth.
The show “In The Heat Of The Night” has the confederate flag car tags on the police cars. There are pictures of Martin Luther King and General Lee hanging on the wall at the police station. The show demonstrates oppression and victories that overcome differences. The show demonstrates how people of different colors, backgrounds, and positions getting along and trying to make a better way. This show tackles so many different racial issues. I think this show is more racial than “The Dukes Of Hazzard”. The Dukes Of Hazzard was about fighting the system (local government) that is wrong for its community. Just good old country boys and girls making their way in life. Just good country living!! “In The Heat Of The Night” still airs on TV. “The Dukes Of Hazzard” needs to return to TV. -- Just Saying!! 😊🧡😊🧡
John Schneider: "I want to own Blacks."
Thank you for admitting it Rascist.
he doesnt even realize what he is describing is far more aligned with woke then the gop
Well said! Never let people put words in your mouth! Loved the show! Your such a good person!
Well said John.
One of the greatest, most wholesome shows driven to the grave by social ignorance.
Love John and what he stands for.
All he stands for is the same as other rich white narcissists, he stands for himself and his arrogance to do what he wants even though it is offensive to other people for being symbolic of the slave owners fight to carry on practicing slavery
I like john’s answer here because I see the flag in a very similar way
The same people who call the Rebel Flag a racist symbol likely wore Che Guevara shirts in school.
If you knew your history you wouldn't have a problem with it.
I owned a General Lee in high school and I worked at a gas station in an ALL Black neighborhood (Eastover Md) in 1982. Countless black parents brought their little kids to the gas station to take pictures next to the car. It was soo cool to drive through South East D.C. and watch little kids run out of their homes and yell YEEHAW BO DUKE! They werent yelling Racist! - As it would bring today. Today SUCKS!!
Those kids sound like they really enjoyed seeing that car
Such grace answering this question John love you!
John 💯 right he didn't speak black or white he spoke for all of us
He's exactly right. It was more for states rights against an oppressive centralized government.
As an Afro-American used to watch the show as a kid and I loved the show & I agree with John that the show was about fighting the system & the show is not racist because I'd seen actors of all races come on the show, plus I love Daisy Duke she bought all men to the yard.
Mr. Schneider is an intelligent and logically thinking person. Long live the flag!
👍💪🇺🇸🦅
People who say it is a racist show never sat down and watched it period
The black guy needs to educate himself and the flag has nothing to do with slavery.
Read the articles of the Confederacy. It was all about slavery
Horse 💩.
Not directly, but it does
The little flag of oppression stands against oppression?
getting told they could no longer own humans meant they were oppressed.....?
I used it to Ban Rape with Musicians For The Law Enforcement Helped Rape And Joined Making Me A Rape Victim. I Love Your Opinion Of My Rebel Flag.
The show was not about the flag it was about a family 😊😊 loved the show
Way to go John your exactly right, glad you stood up for your beliefs. I hate when liberals try to force there agendas on us. They have the right to believe what ever they want and so do I. 🙏😎☮️✝️
so def dont vote the GOP, because they want to force their agenda on the country and tell people how to live. including removing citizens rights
It’s heritage not hate‼️
Right on🤘🏽
heritage of what?
The flag would always reminds me of "The Dukes." No matter what others thinks.
Well said and well spoken. Thank you John/Bo.
Individuals aren't able to change the meaning of symbols that have been defined by history. When I hang a Marshall University flag outside my house, to me, The Herd might represent the best school and team in the country, but to the outside world, they represent a mid major school, that would never beat the Ohio State's of the world I can't change that meaning for everyone who drives by my house because it has been established for the whole world to see. If a Confederate flag stands for generic rebellion or southern pride to you, your personal interpretation forfeits any meaning once you display it publicly, as its meaning takes on the meaning it earned when a failed regime killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in an attempt to destroy America and keep black people enslaved forever.
Said the little liberal loon.😂
The flag is fighting the system , it has nothing to do with the colors of our skin
so is it woke?
Awesome show. Bo and Luke were childhood heros of mine. They fought the Law and helped out those in need.
I’m from the South and I’m proud of the flag we Southerns hold so dear because as John said it’s about fighting the system and during the Civil War we were fighting against the damn Yankees not because as history has tried to say about keeping slavery active and that was never the issue ever(many blacks served on the Southern side willingly) but against the North trying to tell us how to live our lives as well as trying to control our businesses like cotton production.
It is a total and complete myth and lie that the South was fighting to keep slavery we were fighting for our freedom and independence against people who tried to tell us what to do!!!!
LONG LIVE THE SOUTH!!!!
*TRUTH BOMB* 💣
so woke of him
It's just that simple.
I loved the show as a kid. I love John Schneider!
Love the Dukes!!
It's called brain washing is why you cant get over that flag.
If I was you , I'd say stop being so personal. You are not a slave. Get over it. What about the jews. Trust me. You have no idea
Youre speaking truth!!!🔥
I grew up living in Asia watching this show. It was wholesome, clean and funny. It encompassed the lives of people just living their lives and having fun. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Loved the show when I was a kid. No one. No one thought any "Racist " anything. About the flag.
Well spoken John……
so woke
General Lee had nothing to do with racism. Period.
Exactly John.!!!!!
I remember reading a magazine article about Mr. Schneider in the 80s where his agent or manager or someone close to him said he will be the biggest movie star since John Wayne. Well that obviously didn't happen but from everything I've seen he is a good guy. He has been living off that silly but wholesome TV show for 40 years. And good for him.
SOMEONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING RACIST LOL LEAVE JOHN SNIDER ALONE
Exactly. And to protect their right to own slaves. Lol let’s not pretend the civil war wasn’t over slavery
It was States rights first and foremost
I was told the same thing in 4th grade but since I've become an adult and can research these things I've come to the understanding it was completely states rights 100%.
Do you mean that the flag means slavery? If you do why don’t you use your head to speak instead of your ass
And let's not forget it was the democrats that was behind it . The same democrats that has been trying their hardest to divide the country again.
Amen John. Well said!
Very interesting. The brown folks here in Arkansas that wear that flag say they fought for it and they will wear it all they want. I think that's brilliant and the mark of real Rebels.
Let’s simplify this.
Rebel or confederate flag was for States rights over slavery. I don’t agree with slavery but I think the federal government has way too much power over the states. That’s the beautiful thing about states. If you don’t like a state you can move to another and still be in America.
🇺🇸Murica
Exactly
It was states rights....period. It later was twisted to become about slavery, but started as a battle for states rights as a whole.
They Had Black Characters In The Show Heck Uncle Phil Is In Cool Hands Bo And Luke Episode I Watch The Show Everyday Far From Racist
I love the show I watch it all the time
Except the South fought to support slavery. The CSA flag was the Stars and Bars.
John is so correct
he is so woke here. unity and fighting oppression
U go Bo!!!!!
YAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
John right it's just a rebel flag like I fly out because of our government.
That Flag is ACTUALLY the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, NOT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG! Read and understand your history
Most of us here in the South feel exactly the same way!
I love his response. Because the truth is that people do tend to tell one what the flag means to them. Everyone has there own personal beliefs about things. And just because one likes the flag doesn't Mean there racist at all.
This is going to far it will end up very bloody in the end, if this woke bs does not stops asap 😡
I agree liberals are destroying our country and our old school American values that we hold dear
I felt the flag. Rebel against the government
