Warner Bros scraps Dukes of Hazzard car toys over Confederate flag controversy
The Confederate flag may or may not be removed from government buildings in South Carolina, but the relic is definitely being removed from at least one southern icon. Warner Bros. today announced that it was halting production of toys and replicas of the General Lee, the car from the Dukes of Hazzard, which famously bore the flag on its roof. The company follows in the footsteps of retailers Amazon, Sears, eBay, and Walmart, all of whom elected to ban sales of the Confederate flag and its image this week after the racially motivated murders in Charleston on Sunday.
Wow, the world is going all out to rid itself of a symbol of hate.
I hadn’t really considered going this far with the General Lee being an every day part of my childhood and all…but I couldn’t imagine seeing the swastika flying without thinking of racism either.
Good god, Bill Kristol. The Confederacy was established to keep slavery alive and well.
Do we really need to respect the dead Americans who fought to keep black people in chains?
