'Dukes of Hazzard' Star Defends Confederate FlagJones spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday from Sperryville, Virginia, where he owns a store that sells Confederate flags and other items and celebrates the fictional Hazzard County from his TV show. He runs two other Cooter's Place stores — named for his "Hazzard" character — in Nashville and Gatlinburg, Tennessee.Jones said his stores will never stop selling Confederate items even as national retailers such as Wal-Mart drop them in the wake of the massacre of nine people at a black church in Charleston. The man charged in the deaths had been photographed with the Confederate flag."We're not changing anything in stores. There's no reason to change anything," Jones said. "We despise racism."Full Story / Video Link:http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/06/25/dukes-hazzard-star-defends-confederate-flag 4951

You can blame revisionist history, political correctness, and the BS of people feeling offended by everything. 4951

@Retired_Engineer  AND   @angiekayeI've heard where Louis Farrakhan is now calling for the removal of the American Flag....  And talk about a straight up Racist....  The dude's beyond offensive, an obvious bigot, and an admitted open racist, so I think he needs to be removed.... Oh, and by the way, I heard on some news outlets earlier today where some are calling for the censorship and removal of the Confederate Flag that's shown in Gone With The Wind....   I kid you not, my friends...  When do we say enough is enough, and take a stand?              4951

In Texas, which is the only state I care about, the confederate flag stands for nothing more than a corrupt state government and illegal election. It's not the symbol of southern pride that ignorance has placed on it.

@BooBearYeah, but Boo, it's about the principle here, dude...  And even if the Confederate Flag has no significant meaning in the state of Texas, it is still prevalent to the History of America...  And so now, certain people are calling for it's removal because they deem it "offensive," okay, well if we start here, what's next to go...  It's a very slippery slope, especially when Government Censorship is involved....  Hell, it's a slippery slope when the Government's involved anyways....

But @herron1345 what principle?? There would be hoards of people protesting naming a school after hewy Newton for good reason. Could you imagine sending you kid to a school named after sjl?? These people were/are not about uniting the country, even though they have a place in history.
 
The flag, right or wrong DOES signify a period of seperation in the country. We should lean about it but too many yahoos(on BOTH sides of the issue) have perverted it to the point it signifies nothing but contention anymore. I am as southern as they come but I just don't see the point of this fight. 4951

@BooBearDude...  It's just NOT about the Confederate Flag though, Boo...  The same race-baiters calling for its removal, are also calling the removal of anything associated or printed with the Confederate Flag, including the General Lee from Dukes Of Hazzard, as well as censoring / having it removed from Gone With The Wind....  I kid you not.....  Being "Offended" is not a special status in this country, and if we start here, then what's next?       If we start removing, and censoring anything  / everything that offends a certain group in this country then where are we left, Boo?   That's what I meant when I stated that "Government censorship is a very dangerous, slippery slope to allow"....  And whether you, or I agree with the Confederate Flag's significance, it is a part of American history....     The principle here is "LIBERTY".....       4951

Censorship and good taste ....there is a fine line. I agree about not catering to small groups but we are talking about a large if not majority agreement on this..I think those that want the flag is a much smaller percentage. 4951
