A war fought by the poor to protect the interests of the rich, how unusual. To answer your question: I wouldn't have a choice. MY question is, why would someone who's ancestors were forced to kill their fellow countrymen look back fondly on and celebrate said rich guys and their unjust cause?
It's your opinion that's what they do. You think that was going through anybody's mind the entire time millions of people tuned in every week to see Dukes of Hazzard, or did you forget what the General Lee looked like? Guess who was outraged by it...nobody. Black people didn't picket the show, ancestors of slaves didn't picket the show, nobody picketed the show, everybody loved it, everybody was too smart to be offended 'waaaaah, there's a confederate flag on top of the car, it's so racist!'
As much as I agree that the target audience for The Dukes of Hazzard should be the template by which we hold society, how is raising a flag or sticking it on your car not a celebration of said flag? You just went to great lengths to illustrate what a raw deal the men who were forced to fight for the Confederacy got from the Confederacy, so why should anyone wave a Confederate flag? Indifference to what the flag represents because you're distracted by a lady in short shorts is not an answer.
