John Schneider is a man of common sense, wisdom, class, and Patriotism. Not to mention a great actor and musician!
I agree, T! Bad part is, he's alienating part of his fanbase with that his stance.
Yep, love John Schneider
I love this man!! I remember I couldn’t wait for the Duke of Hazard to come on! As a black woman, I must say,” this was the best show ever.”
@@BIGTONEonline as did the Dixie Chick's & others on the liberal side
Yeah, I was surprised when I saw him and Tom Wopat perform the theme to dukes of hazzard. I thought they sounded better than Waylon Jennings
Cancel culture is a joke! God bless you John! Such wisdom
Just get rid of the Chocolates
They can take it off TV all they want now. I have the DVD set and the best thing about that is no 5 minute commercials and editing out best parts.
I have skull&crossbones on my car don't make me a pirate
@@chrisgarrett601 Here too!
@@daveycarter8190 And the browns too. No. Not the football team. What I mean is, the Arabs. Koreans. Vietnamese. Them.
Even as a progressive, I agree with John here 100%. The Dukes was an innocent, light hearted TV show dressed up in with southern characteristics that entertained an audience. It never approached the seriousness of racism or slavery, and it wasn't meant to. Put into context, Tom Wopat stated the "Flag was just a decoration really". That sums it up pretty well to me.
@Aaron Mills next time someone tells you that the southern flag is racist, remind them that Bill clinton used it as a background for some of his political buttons when he ran for president. he called himself and gore, "sons of the new south".
The left focus on pretty much anything and everything outside of their inner selves…which really needs the examination. Lord Jesus come back please!
If she’s so offended by things Southern then stay out of Mississippi. I lived in Hattiesburg and the Biloxi coast a few years and saw some racist stuff
@@katluann Like what?
@Aaron Mills the funny thing is... the Confederacy was made up of democrats. Democrats want to erase this so badly.
If your offended, don't watch it!! The Dukes of Hazzard is one of the best shows of all times. Shows today suck, and the Rebel flag is part of history and means alot to alot of people. If you dont like, dont look
Amen!
Amen! Adults turn the channel… children… I mean liberals 😂 can’t change the channel lol
Spot on! I own every episode on DVD and I have a general Lee replica sitting on my mantle piece. Does that make me a racist? Yes and black people had major roles on the dukes of Hazzard as friends of the dukes and if you recall the sheriff of Chickasaw county was sheriff Little which yes people hold on... was a black man. It was always a strong grounded family moral message on the dukes we need more of this today and less (or none) of the Kardashians types showing their boobs and butts and calling that good and ok for our children to witness I mean that garbage is everywhere now the world has been flipped upside down, it's become a free-for-all. What's right is now wrong what was wrong is now right. We have to look in the mirror people and really realize where this is headed and put a stop to it. And if you don't think it's all by design you're fooling yourself. A wise man by the name of Jay severin once said "people can be brainwashed but most only require a light rinse". You were right Jay rest in peace sir. And Mr John Schneider if you are reading my comment you keep doing what you do, thank you.
I agree! The show was AMAZING! I loved getting home from grandma’s house watching this show! I am a black woman and refuse to go along with Jackie. There was no hidden messages. There was no harm! When people start making up crap like that, the world is left in complete disarray! That is harmful.
If a liberal is a vegatarian, no one can eat meat, offended by firearms no one can own a gun, want gay marriage so every needs to like gay marriages, want a gay cake, than every baker needs to bake gay cakes, want crossdressers to read sexual stories to pre-school kids, then all kids must sit through those story times.
Liberals DON'T change channels, they want to control are viewing 24/7.
Huh, she grew up watching it and loved the show but NOW after she was TOLD it was offensive she's now offended? Grow up, think for yourself!
Exactly. The argument is ignorant.
Now that is a perfect reply!
Exactly. what does she think not what others tell her
Exactly!!! Think for yourself and don't be led my the mob mentality.
💯
The show was awesome! Better than the crap out today....so....if you don't like it, don't watch it!
Yep, don’t watch it, and take pro-slavery and pro-racism messages and symbols off the air, too
This show was silly, and it followed a favorite show of mine, "The Incredible Hulk." To me it was harmless entertainment. This shows how petty and obsessed cancel culture really is. I refuse to be controlled by fear of them!
If you think putting a warning label on streaming content with racial stereotypes and anti-equal rights symbols is "cancel culture" then you haven't seen what the Republican Party is doing! They want to stop kids learning about the Black, Jewish and homosexual experiences in America. Particularly book-banning and changing school curricula as well as a "don't say gay" law in FL.
Yep, keep supporting a racist symbol, Doug
It was a threat in my family that my Mom used... if we didn't do the dishes/clean our room/etc... there would be "No Dukes on Friday!" 😅
😫
Dr.Jackie needs a lesson in racist shows. Cause the Dukes of Hazzard is not on the list of racist shows. Like John said they were just 2 good ole boys never meaning no harm. The flag was on the car because of the name of the car. And if Dr.Jackie thinks we know better now about the show we'll do better , maybe she needs to do better herself and do her homework on it better. Cause if I was her teacher on this she'd fail big time! Want to talk about racist shows I can name some that are still on t.v. today that nobody mentions a thing about. The Jeffersons, All in the family just to name a couple
Hi Nicole, Dr Jackie never said the show was racist. I can't think of anyone who does. The issue was that Mr Schneider's attitude about why someone today might be offended by the Confederate Flag.
@@BIGTONEonline he just saying what everyone thinks it is ridiculous as it was a 70s show when that flag was a symbol of being a rebel as he said with no malicious intent behind it. No-one took offence then but 40 years later they do. They could not see 40 years into the future. That was the 70s.
All in the family wasn't rascist. It was a situational comedy and had characters in it that had really different views on a whole buncha subjects. That's the whole point of the show...
@@critterray6742 The Dukes weren't racist either just a good ole family show. You can't find that type of show now days.
@@Nicole_Jewell sure can't. Like he said, if there was somethin bad about the flag on that car, Uncle Jesse woulda handled it. But they don't care about that. They just wanted to flex their boycot muscles at somethin harmless. Just like a bully.
To this day, I yell ‘Yee-Haw’ when my car pops over a sudden hill. As a kid, I loved the show and so did my family. It’s exhausting being politically correct.
Exhausting???? Wow? Do you use the N word? If not, is it exhausting too to not use that? Poor you.
@@adamheaton832 cry some more snowflakes
I do a vocal imitation of the Dixie horn.
Hey I'm proud to call John a neighbor he lives right outside of the town I live in ,and I have been a fan of show sence a was young child ,,I feel like it should still be on,.
The Dukes Of Hazzard was as innocent as Scooby -Doo...Ridiculous to look for trouble were there is none.
Yea, so why were the producers do stupid to put a pro-slavery pro-racism symbol in it. Stupid.
@@adamheaton832 You need to read a history book.
John has nothing to apologize for. Except entertaining the HELL out of us! Smart man. Glad to see him back!
There is a whole side to the Civil War story that most people (including the talking heads here) are blissfully unaware of. The ending of slavery was a good thing and nearly everyone today, including southerners agree. But the civil war story doesn’t end with General Lee’s surrender. There was a very heavy-handed, repressive Union occupation of the south that went on for years after the war. The Dixie flag took on a whole new meaning from that point on. People who think flying the Dixie flag is celebrating slavery are ignorant.
Thank you!! Beautifully stated!
No, it went away after the war, but came back in 1948 as a symbol of segregation and anti-civil rights for about 20 years.
Heavy handed? Really? Well how should we deal with traitors who started a war and assassinated a President then?
@@lenblack1462 John Wilkes Booth wanted it to be "Heavy-handed" and repressive. His arguments were disarmed when Lincoln showed mercy. History does not agree that occupation was heavy-handed or repressive; rather it was the removal of troops that allowed violence, discrimination and more corrupt segregationist governments after ~1880.
The OP says that today they agree that ending slavery was good, but for 40 years or so they didn't want Black(Negroes) to prosper under their own talents, culminating in the Tulsa massacre of 1921 of what was called "Black Wall Street." The idea that Blacks didn't want to work became a myth in the 1980s, to attack social programs such as anti-poverty measures.
Even today, in and out of the South, people still believe in prison slave labor and denial of their right to vote, which otherwise they could elect representatives to improve their conditions and reduce recidivism. It's pretty nasty in CA that prison labor helps put out fires, but because of felony convictions they aren't allowed to get a job fighting fires for pay after release. Likewise the Census counts their prison as their residence, granting benefits to that community (and not where they were on the outside) that without voting means the benefits of population on government programs don't benefit them. A virtual 3/5 Compromise.
That occupation you speak of... it only gets increasingly intrusive.
Thank you John for having common sense and explaining it to the media and the cancel culture crap. Keep staying true.
Spot on.. this lady needs to go get educated on this flag and what it really doesn't/ didn't mean.
Republican cancel culture is far more hateful and dangerous than slapping a warning label on Dumbo or streaming content with segregationist imagery. It's "don't say gay" and don't teach slavery, discrimination, Jim Crowe segregation, lynching and institutional racism, which they call "critical race theory".
Very well said!!
If common sense is taking a truth and adding a lie to it, with lots of ignorance thrown in, then yes, John is a common sense kind of guy
Sorry, I was to busy looking at the good looking John Schneider to pay attention to the flag on the car!
Loved John and the Dukes then, and still do!
Yeah, he is still pretty yummy!😘❤🥰
You and me both! I was 10 when I watched it, and the only thing I was looking at was him. I paid no attention to the flag on that car!
The Dukes are one of the reasons I love muscle cars as well as Smokey and the Bandit. My first car was a 1979 Camaro. I've had Mustangs, a Celica GT and now have a 2010 Cadillac CTS4 in excellent condition (fast) and I'm giving it to my teenage son. I'm looking at the Dodge Challenger inspired by John and his movie Stand On It. Him and that car are a pretty sweet sight.
I was too busy looking at Daisy.
I know, right? Such a gorgeous man, but I have to admit I wanted that general Lee.
Too bad John didn’t get to answer at the end.
What self respecting liberal would allow him to answer ?? Just keep reading into everything.
No, it's good that he didn't.
@@BIGTONEonline - okay. You’re entitled to your opinion
Thank you, Abi. I respect yours also.
@@BIGTONEonline Why is it good that he didn't?
The Dukes were a wholesome family of love of god and country. They never had an evil bone in their bodies. Leave them alone for crying out loud. If the flag or the show offends you for some reason then don't watch it, pretty simple, but you don't have the right to tell me that I can or can't watch it. Yee Haw!
Preach it!
Well said John...you are a true voice of reason.
Well there is definitely one ignorant close-minded person on here... Maybe someone would like to point it out?
WHO CLAIMS TO BE A 'DOCTOR'? NOPE! She's brainwashed!
Love it now and then. That is what tv was meant to be. So many people have such unnecessary issues. Let's enjoy life and dukes are the best. Love you John.
One person or group’s interpretation of the meaning of the rebel flag does not solidify the show’s intent to promote racism. I never felt that the Duke family was anything but good and wholesome. And I certainly don’t blame a flag for some people’s racist behavior or mindset. John is a good man. And The Dukes of Hazzard was an awesome show. Not like what is being openly promoted and embraced on today’s television.
It promoted fighting against 'CORRUPTION', NOT 'RACISM'. Funny how it's the LIBERALS who have a problem with ANYONE representing 'GOOD OVER EVIL', yet they'll use a DIFFERENT excuse, (like the flag), as their reason to HATE the D.O.H.
These liberals have ZERO SHAME in lying cheating and stealing.
Ummm it’s more than one person and one groups view. Quit supporting slavery and racism
True.
Dr. Jackie is confusing reality with fiction. The Dukes of Hazzard was and is a fictional TV show. It was intended as a family show. The flag represented rebellion in the show as the Dukes were breaking the rules and thumbing their nose at the law. It was a light hearted show meant to entertain. Dr. Jackie needs to learn the difference between reality and fiction.
John is so very gracious, and very right about this "issue". People are misinterpreting a symbol and as a result they'll misinterpret him too. If people want to understand and they actually listen, they'll realize it's nothing to do with race. My understanding of the flag was exactly the same as Schneider's. It's the Rebel Flag. We call it that, we understand it to mean that. The meaning of the flag changed through time. There doesn't have to have something racial attached to it, that is so gross. It's someone gluing their own personal skeletons and psy-baggage onto a beautiful symbol that has meaning akin to Freedom or Liberty, not Civil War Slavery like the "liberals" would explain it.
If you say so. I say he is very wrong
@The Secular Atheist By your metrics so is the US flag. So what are you gonna do about that? Trust your government to solve your "problem?" Do I have to remind you of what that institution, and you too by extension of the taxes you pay, does to brown and black people around the world?
It's getting misinterpreted because the interpretation is inconsistent. It gets singled out to the exclusion that meets what you just said. Why don't you do something about the slavery in the world right now instead of faking all this noize about how you care about what people hundreds of years ago did? They're dead. People are alive right now. Tend to them. You'll have better results for the rest of your life.
@The Secular Atheist It's also inaccurate. You want to put them all in a box. I'll put all the atheists in a box. You're all the same. You're all soulless gutless wonders who run behind the skirts of govt in the name of "secularism" at the first sign of whining about some fake problem you don't even have. Your groupthink mentality poisons your thinking. Everyone is an individual. Confederates, Yankees, and all the rest of them.
@The Secular Atheist You're picking meaningless partisan arguments with me and crying over a flag. American Democrats are some of the most evil people alive in the world today and you don't need religion to figure that out, you need common sense and a frame of reference. You screw around in the world, mass murder and o/w F people over more than anyone else alive. The fact that you're not deeply ashamed of yourself ends this waste of time before it began. We're done here.
No reliable source of morals either. Ideally we are people who actually believe in right and wrong, not a vapid desert of amorality that's proud of itself for it. The cheeky Atheist says "Oh my parents taught me my morals." Well how convenient and selfish is that? A system of belief borne out of luck. It invariably turns demonic because there's nothing there to keep the evil, greed, and the darkest aspects of human nature from coming out. Atheism is a kluge, that will produce bad results time and time again.
Jesus Christ was well over 2000 years ahead of his time because we can't live up to the moral standards yet. But it provides instruction from which to try.
I don't think "Dr. Jackie" has a clue. John Schneider would destroy her in a debate.
Now they are saying the American flag is offensive...
Ridiculous!
🇺🇸 ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤🇺🇸♾
I'm Hispanic, and we don't dwell on the Alamo and the southern states being stolen form Mexico. Some people just need to "get over it" It happened so long ago. Enjoy the short life we have on this earth. I watched The Dukes of Hazard and really enjoyed the series , it was entertaining back in the day.
Hell my ancestors were Cherokee Indians on my dads mom's side lol Who got screwed on that one? Lol
You would be considered a sell out by many "Latinos" who adhere to the Southwestern states being stolen from Mexico story.
@@brents.8972: Same here!
@@MH-zg5yw: So? What good does it do to whine about it? Focus on more important issues in life, like getting closer to God and making a living for family.
I agree. John Snyder is a great humanitarian, actor, and musician. He's from New York but he has a down to earth quality to him.
If he was s great humdd as notarise he would not be supporting a pro-racism pro-slavery flag
He's one of the actors I admire the most. As a man of Indian descent I hope he NEVER apologizes for the show and for that flag. Any one who has an issue with that flag then that's on the person not the flag.
Right.
From here in the UK, I think a point has been missed. As much younger viewers when The Dukes of Hazzard launched here, the Confederate flag and the Dodge Chargers name of General Lee, 'immediately' told us all, that this show was set in the South of the USA.. Most of us lads & lassies here in the UK thought the flag indicated 'Country Music', and never connected politics or race relations to it. (And still don't). Watch the shows and you can't help notice that there really wasn't any racial prejudice or political point scoring present at all !
im italian and i agree sadly such flag has been used by the KKK and others white supremacist-far right criminal organisations but we can see the difference
@@gillespriod5509 Assolutamente corretto. Era solo un grande spettacolo di intrattenimento per inseguimenti in auto.
@@gillespriod5509 I do not condone what those racist groups represent but you can clearly see what they were trying to prevent with all the stupidity happening today. And again it had nothing to do with the Confederate flag. Do you notice the majority of Europe doesn't have these racial problems? That's because they do not allow it and this is manufactured in the states merely for political reasons. So all the people of the United States of America take your heads out of your asses and see the truth for what it is. "United we stand divided we fall, divide and conquer". Does any of this make any sense to you?
There may be a different view in Europe (though Hungary's leader's racism is on the news tonight). My uncle got a European copy of _Song of the South_ and figured out how to play it here. Disney doesn't know what to do with it here today. I read the problem is that it doesn't say explicitly that it's set in a post-slavery, Reconstruction South, so it seems like slaves are happy with their lot. I read Walt Disney took out a line by Uncle Remus saying, "I don't have to take that; I'm a free man" because his advisor on Southern Culture didn't like it. That would have helped it a lot.
@@sandal_thong8631 Hungary's leader is being misrepresented by the corrupt media circus. He, like all leaders should, is looking out for the people who elected him and the historic culture and values of the Hungarian people. Anything else that's said about Victor Alban is bull 'S'. The Disney corporation is a insult to my intellect and is nothing more now than a WOKE propaganda machine that's trying to destroy American culture and tradition. It seems that a certain element of today's generation are trying to change history to suit their own individual opinions. This is known here in the UK as Marxism. Thank you for the info @Sandal_Thong.
Loved the Dukes of Hazzard, every Friday Night.
She watched it and enjoyed it, but now she 'knows better' she wants to 'do better' by banning it so that others can't watch it and enjoy it. That makes sense.
I listened to Waylon Jennings sing his theme song every Saturday night in 1979 and 1980. I love the Duke Boys, Uncle Jessie, Daisy Dukes, Boss Hogg, Roscoe P. Coltrane, Cooter, The General Lee. I never missed an episode.
Me either. It was on Fridays, and I was right in front of the TV, popcorn in hand watching the show! Look at the garbage they've got on now: Amazing "Race? Who cares? Big Brother? Who cares? Survivor? Who cares? I don't. AS far as I'm concerned, they can wipe that trash off and put some real shows on.
I met John Schneider years ago at a studio in Manhattan Beach and I'm a black man who he'd treated me with such kindness that no way I would think he would be a part of something hateful. regardless of that flag on the General Lee. I know that John Schneider is an awesome guy and I can tell he doesn't have a racist bone in his body.
That show was awesome.
It was Great laughs and family oriented.
Yep with a pro-racism pro-slavery flag. Great stuff kids.
What’s the subtle message? There was nothing even remotely bad on the show. Literally people making something up that never existed. Lol, she was literally the one trying to provoke something.
people now are so sensitive. they couldn't survived the 70's 80's and 90's.
That flag is part of our history. It's a shame that people can't understand that. It needs to stay!!!
Dr Jackie I would not give up the south for antything it has taught me a lot truth
My sister got two dukes of hazzard coloring books still in the original plastic
Thank you John. Dukes of Hazzard was just a TV show that had good values and was entertaining something that most shows today dont have today.
About breaking the law?? Lol. About flying symbols of racial dominance and oppression?? Lol
John Schneider, You're a Class Act...keep up the Great Work, and Beliefs!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I vividly remember the Dukes having more than a handful of Black alias that helped them in the show. And I also remember Uncle Jesse giving a speech against bigotry and prejudice saying we’re all children of god and that all that matters is what’s in your heart - love or hate.
Ah so lovely there were a few minor black sidekicks to the white heroes. That’s great. Can’t be racist. Noooooo
@@adamheaton832 You apparently forgot about the Sheriff in "Chickasaw" county on the show? You know the man of color representing the law. Was he just another one of those people you refer to as one of the "sidekicks"? Sheriff Ed Little was the character name in case you forgot.
@JD, “the man of color.” Are you stuck in 1952?
This was getting tense lol. John was ready explode on her.
Assuming a confederate flag was tantamount to endorsing slavery reflects a shoddy understanding of history
Am I the only one that finds it ironic that whole time the North was fighting to end slavery it was allowing slavery within its own borders?
@@MegaStephen68 The Civil War was about defending slavery, and that's what its flag meant in 1864. From 1948-1968 it was about opposing Civil Rights, Black Voting Rights, and integration. Somehow it got a rewrite in the 1970s to mean southern pride.
Today we would call it Realpolitik or pragmatism to keep Maryland and other slave states in the Union. At least 3 states seceded when Lincoln said he'd use force to bring back the ones in rebellion.
Dukes of Hazzard was an awesome show and it still is !!! and your feelings don't mean squat keep em to yourself boo hoo ! And the flag is NOT racist !!
When I was a kid, the flag on the car (to me) meant "DixieLand" in a sense it represented the south, and location below the "Mason Dixon Line". I never got the impression it represented anything else as a kid living in the NE of America. Having grown up and I am certainly a whole different person with worldly experiences, I am noticing a campaign to re-write history and re-define the meanings of words, symbols, and statues. I did not have a southern view of what these things meant at that time 70's-80's. The intent of "The Dukes of Hazzard" was always a good, family oriented theme in which the GOOD 'OL BOYS always prevailed over the corrupt and ill intent law in the town.
Me neither, and I was raised in the south.
Yes, the flag was brought back in 1948 for a 20-year fight against integration, equal rights for Blacks, and so on. Somehow it got a rewrite in the 1970s as a symbol of "Southern Culture." I didn't know this, and perhaps the show-runners and cast didn't either, but we know better now.
I didn't even like Dukes of Hazzard as a kid, but they clearly meant no harm with the Confederate flag on the General Lee. It was more like a "we're proud to be Southern boys" kind of thing.
The Dukes of Hazzard was INCLUSIVE in every way. How you guys ended this interview with John was unprofessional IMO.
Great Response John!!!!!
Forget this women. Dukes of hazard forever!😁
"Now that I have been told what to think and feel vice what I think and feel, it should be banned" Stay true John we love you & the show!!!
Sometimes we should be told what to think if what we thought was ignorant of racism
Thank you John Schneider for keeping reality and common sense in this time for lies and hiding truth.
If she grew up watching the show then I'd like to know what was her favorite episode. Come to think of it that may be an impossible question even for me. I'll ask easier, who was her favorite character, and why? I won't hold my breath.
Yeah she didn't know shit about the show. My favorite episode is jude emery.
Every episode that showed Daisy in a bikini. 😁
KEEP IT FLYING!!!
The Dukes was a good natured show. It had good examples and nice themes and it was as good a show as many others at the same time. The confederate flag never was a big deal within the show, it simply was there. I think the show could stand up to any scrutiny in terms of racism etc, and be found innocent. Mr Schneider is a man of integrity who knows that the Dukes was a good show in so many ways and doesnt need any revisions to fit how things are looked at these days. It should be viewed and enjoyed in the spirit in which it was intended.
Yes. It was. The movie, though may have let's just say, weakened the argument on it. But. I don't blame the movie. I blame the federal government, who, by the way, wanted to get rid of it. To change the historical fact. To totally erase it. Well, they got their wish. or way, whichever you want to put it.
My FAVORITE show!!!!!
Don't let the chick interrupt you!
Go John , keep speaking the truth & never give into the woke BS !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️
BS us exactly right!! So tired of it!!ove how he speaks his mind!
She watched the show and now all these years later she is offended by it,what a brain washed society we live in.
She said when we know better, we do better. The same can be said that when we know worse, we do worse. I’m 45 years old and times were better then. There is an old saying of not crying over spilled milk. People today cry before the milk is spilled.
I wish people were more offended by Cardi B's "WAP" instead of great wholesome shows like "Dukes Of Hazzard"
😁 The flag and the Dukes never meant that, it never meant racist. I've been a fan my whole life, literally so I agree!
That's the new way of doing things now. If someone is saying something you don't like just shut them down. Censorship at it's finest. 🤷🏻♀️
Her: “Subtle messages and we need to do better.”
Also her: “I loved for the Dukes of Hazzard every Friday.”
Pick a lane!
I liked the show too. But I didn’t know about the Confederate flag. Now I do, I do not support the show. Because I care about the Intergenerational impact Racism and slavery have had On black lives
What messages is she talking about...can someone please tell me...so then why are the Jefferson's and archie bunker still on
Don't forget the Cosby show stayed on for a long while after the head honcho of that show was put in jail.
As I'm southern born and bread, I can truly say that when the Dukes were on, no one cared that the flag was there. It was and still is a sign of heritage not hate. That flag is not even the confederate battle flag.
It was the 2nd national flag of the Confederacy and the naval flag. In 1948 it came back as the flag to fight equal rights, voting rights and integration for the next 20 years. After that it must have gotten a rewrite to be southern pride.
Let's get rid of every thing that we've made up to offend us. People are so weak today.
You tell them John.
I'm with John 100%
Whoa John still lookin fine
Exactly!
I think he's better looking now. But yet I'm a lot older now too.
He ages like fine wine. Gets better looking the older he gets. I'm only 40 and I crush on him.
He has a YT channel.
Subscribe to him. 👍😎
@@staywhite6332 Been subscribed to it. And his Twitter and Facebook. He does not have an Instagram. No matter what any poser says it's not him. John himself has said he's not on Instagram.
Everyone has a different interruptions to the meaning of things. So I disagree with certain things. Doesn't mean it should be eliminated or destroyed. So your interruptions are different, move on.
Any symbol of America’s past could be taken as racist. Like he was implying, if you want the flag to be racist than it is. And yes I am one of those people that does not think slavery was the cause of Lincoln’s war between the states. That is what we are made to believe.
That is a part of history, why are they all so eager to wipe that flag and everything else out?
Love The Dukes of Hazard, I wish they'd show reruns 🇺🇸
Buy the series, it's on DVD.
@@dpastor6631 I just bought it!! So excited!
She knows very little. Poor girl.
Where is The Dukes of Hazzard available online?
i have no apologies for the flag, and the woman's just doing her best to get people 'triggered'.
The rebel flag on the General Lee wasn’t a subtle message of racism or any other kind of message of racism. Period.
Good answer John
Fill the same way 😊
The fact that she stated she “lived for” that show...just as I did as a kid...bc it was a family friendly show....proves that it wasn’t viewed as a racial thing!!! Having been born n raised in the south, its been the elite liberal outsiders that have made it an issue!! The flag at its core has always been a symbol against ‘the man”/ govt overreach !! I knew a bl k man...who in the late 90s early 2000s rode around in cola sc w a big flag flying in the bed of his pickup truck!!! The flag remained a symbol of the south as a reminder of what happens w govt overreach!!! The govt didn’t go to war w the south initially bc of slavery. It went to war bc the president didn’t think that the south had the right to succeed! When he needed more bodies to fight bc the south was winning, it was then that per suggestion he used it as a way to recruit blacks to join the war effort. If you do some deep research, that is if the proxy govt overlords haven’t scrubbed it from the internet (since ppl do read books anymore), you would find this to be true! Think the govt wouldn’t go door to door or burn cities n towns to the ground??! Believe it...bc they’ve already done it!! Slavery at that time would have become obsolete had they allowed the things taking place during that time to play out(I’m in no means defending slavery, but we have to stop viewing history through the lense of today)! The movement to end slavery was high, plus the industrial revolution was working its way down south! It would have completely changed the landscape. The problem was the fact that the north was a lot richer than the south which did not have the money to purchase such machines. There is a black man in either Charlotte or Raleigh nc who has brought to light the interesting dynamics of the south. Look him up!
@Michelle, the southern states that tried to leave the union were very clear that the preservation of slavery was their number one concern. I suggest you check out the primary sources. Also, the Civil War started when SC fired on the Feds, FYI.
John Schneider is very well spoken!
He owes no apology. Cancel culture however, owes a huge apology to all of us.Better yet, why don’t we just tell them to piss off and go on about our business.
The problem is that racism will always exist when people look for it and try to make something not racist into racism.
I grew up in an area where the majority was black. And I'm talking 100's of thousands. 99% were fine, but then there was always the one who no matter what you did or what the process was, they found a way to call you racist.
That flag is about rebellion, not oppression. The only ones making it about oppression are the ones who can't move on and have a nagging desire to find racism where there is none.
"That flag is about rebellion, not oppression." Thank you! Very well said.
Wrong. The flag was reintroduced in 1948 as a symbol of segregation and to stop civil rights for Blacks. Maybe in the late '70s people forgot this or they had a rewrite?
@EC, you are wrong. Go read what the Southern states wrote. It is disgusting, racist, and totally white supremacy. Read their own words.
@@sandal_thong8631 too many people try to hard to make things what they aren't. People live to grab hold of one wacky person and then generalize it. The reality is, 99% of people view that flag as a sign of rebellion. Move along.
@@EC_ATV_Outdoors Rebellion against the Civil Rights Movement. And Rebellion on January 6th. A comedian had it right: people waving the flag are saying, "We're #2."
As the man said, Keep up the good work , John.
I think Dr. Jackie went into this interview with the clear intention of provoking him. I agree with John, intention is everything and I applaud him for not bowing under or allowing himself to be drawn into a battle of semantics. I grew up watching this show when it originally aired and I don't recall one instance of ever watching an episode and feeling like the show was promoting racism or trying to subtly convert me to racism. At that time, where I grew up, the rebel flag was exactly what John stated, a symbol of rebellion. Yes, it absolutely may mean something different to someone else today but don't expect people to feel shamed over holding a different meaning of it or apologize for having a different opinion.
she is a classic example of race baiting and trying to pick fights with others who then when schooled tend to pull out all the stops to deflect things.
One of the greatest shows ever, I miss the reruns
Amazon Prime has them. 😁👍
There was a flag in the show? All I remember was smokin' hot Daisy. How dare anyone try & take her off the air
The Dukes of Hazzard rebelled against Boss Hogg and Rosco, and anything they had their hands in. Did they or did they not help blacks out who were on the receiving end of Boss Hogg or Rosco? They helped anyone in need no matter who it was, man, woman or child.
This woman is a part of cancel culture! "I'm so offended!" Oh shut up!
I'd like think how offensive it would be if America had a Holiday called White history month. But it's okay to have a black history and no one should be offended. The efin hypocrisy is ridiculous. Absolutely no apologies from John is ever necessary. Thank you for your consideration and intelligent answers 👊 👏
John is right 100%
My late dad introduced me to the show when I was just a toddler & I fell in love with the General Lee & the flag on the General Lee. I really don't think The Dukes of Hazzard is racist at all. That '69 Dodge Charger with the 01 on the sides of the car is a really cool car. I watched & I loved that show growing up. I own the complete series in digital format on RUclips. I just think it's a great show & I really don't believe it's racist at all.
What an incredible gentleman John Schneider is! First time I've seen someone on a show like this not talk over anyone and allowed someone to interrupt him and he stopped to let her talk. God bless John Schneider. Cancel dr. Junkie.
"Cancel [Doctor Walters]." That's what Republican cancel culture is about: don't teach or talk about slavery, lynching, discrimination, segregation and institutional racism (e.g. redlining), which they call "critical race theory."
I love how calm John was especially when she come with that flag bothers her lord
The car is awesome, and always will be.
Yes and the south will rise again lol
She's not from Mississippi that flag doesn't represent hatred here
It's just a flag people. Get over it already.
CANCEL, CANCEL CULTURE ! I would not apologize either, figure it out people ! Not everything means the same thing to everyone !
A talented man who speaks the truth. I don't look at The Dukes of Hazzard as a racist show. It was a fun show that was not meant to offend people, but people do have their own way of thinking & that's fine.
