Fonzie Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Someone posted about the Dukes of Hazard. The General Lee has a Confederate flag painted on it, but the NAACP didn't try to boycott it. Dukes of Hazzard was ealry 80's. Political correctness had not taken root 25 years ago. If they tried that from scratch now, not including the remakes, 'cause the General Lee had already been established, I think they'd encounter one SOB Al Sharpton among others....Especially if there was money for him to make by "being offended" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Those Dublin/Hilliard fuckers dressing up like cowboys and going to Nyohs wearing fucking Confederate flag belt buckles are complete asshats. In this context, I see it as ignorant and racist. There are hillbillies in Dublin? And WTF is Nyohs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC51 John Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 The Civil War was a long time ago. Time to get over it and just let it go. I think it's safe to say "The South will not rise again." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 How does this relate to motorcycles?????? or riding them?????? or working on them???It doesn't, that's why its in the "Off Topic" forum, in the "Time Wasters" category. I like to keep up on current events. This is a current event, as posted on CNN.com. No big deal, you don't have to participate in this discussion if you don't want to.Interesting first post though...

Vulcan_Rider Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 As everyone else has said it all depends on the circumstances. When it comes to the confederate memorial i believe it is a part of american heritage and a part of one of the most important times in our countries history so let it be. In most situations at least most situations where im from it is a bunch of retard redneck hillbilly assholes that are trying to look like bad asses. However in my high school they banned all images of the confederate flag, if you had one on your vehicle you had to take it off when on school grounds. A few kids had tattoo's that involved the flag and they had to cover them up when at school. I thought it was complete and total bullshit, even though it didnt effect me i still though it was a huge violation of freedom of speech.

v65rider Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Wether anyone likes it or not the flag is as much a part of American history as the Civil war is.People now a days use it for many reasons, there are those that display it just to get a rise out of others ie racism.Then there are those that know their family history and have is as a symbol of that history.Then you just have the group of people that see it as a symbol of being a rebel and opposing those in positions of power, it is more of a statment of their feelings than haveing anyting to do with racism.

Vulcan_Rider Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 my school was a huge redneck school so a lot of ppl had tats and quite a few of them were "home made" i guess you could say. My school was so hillbilly that we actually had a "DRIVE YOUR TRACTOR TO SCHOOL DAY"Does that give you an idea of how redneck my school was?
