Yes it was. The red herring in the room is the Confederate Flag on the General Lee. But watching the show itself it was about helping out your family and your neighbors. Car chases, dealing with the corrupt and inept sherrif department of Hazard County and about GOOD country music.
No curse words and no excessive sexual innuendo like Two and a Half Men did. Nor was their racism although it was an all white main cast and there weren’t many minority minor characters Sherriff Little comes to mind as one.
I believe they should still show the Dukes on Me-TV and other outlets but just present at beginning of the show a disclaimer about the Confederate Flag and note the reason for the valid condemnation from those who have personally been adversely affected by its history of being.
The cancel culture of Bud Light is wrong just as it is with the Black Listing of what is essentially a good family television show.
Blacklisting? Probably not.
People generally being pissed about it? Oh definitely.
Again, imagine it was the Nazi flag.
To some southerners that flag represents heritage. To others it represents cruelty and genocide. I’m not sure the former is wrong, but the latter is absolutely right.
