Ok... I’m a 40 year old black man from Alabama... this was my favorite show growing up as a kid. My dad and brothers watched it all the time. We loved fast cars... and seeing Bo and Luke and everyone on there drive them like crazy 😜 . The show was fun, exciting.... my family never cared about the flag on the car. I never thought the show was racist!!! The show was family oriented and exciting... Thanks for all the memories, and all the fun episodes. PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW available to watch

I was raised in the south. My daddy was raised up north, and we traveled all over the country with his construction jobs. And we always had a rebel flag on our license plate. No one ever had a problem with it . We never saw it as racist. It was just a symbolism of living in the south. I always love dukes of hazards . I hope that you won’t have to cave to a few. Keep up the fight to keep the rebel flag on the general lee. And I really hope the show is still able to stay on.

The Dukes was my fave show as a kid. And though I'm a white man from South Louisiana, I've had close Black friends all my life. I've always seen the rebel flag as representing southern heritage with a bit of prideful, won't take no BS mentality. All of which fit the Duke family perfectly. The DOH never depicted an ounce of racism. Just the opposite... the show had more morals & values than most Nickelodeon shows nowadays, let alone modern Primetime garbage. Cheers John! Love the channel btw✌

I'm 50 year old man from Tennessee. I have some of my best memories watching this show with my bother and family. Couldn't wait for a new episode to come on. The show or the flag on the car has nothing to do about anything racist . Show was about doing what was right. Love the show. Thinking about building my own general lee.

It's good to know you saw the show as I did and you're black. A lot of black people feel differently. I think they should get rid of the General Lee .It was cool but with new knowledge comes new responsibility. Let's help out the Black people because it's a painful reminder. One thing at a time and maybe when another line must be drawn then they will say it's enough. I think then they will feel differently. Slavery was a huge mistake and our Country is paying for it.

I'm from Georgia and all that flag ever meant to me was a reminder of home. I don't know anyone that ever watched The Dukes because they thought Bo, Luke, Uncle Jesse, or anyone else hated anyone. It was about a family that loved one another and tried to treat anyone who would let them, with respect & love. I understand that some people may see the confederate flag as a symbol of hatred, but the 70s was a different time. The flag was not a symbol of hatred to most. No one I know of ever even gave that a second thought. Rebel pride was not white pride. It just meant that we were proud to be Southern. There's an old saying that sums it up best. The South is a place the other three letters on the weathervane are just directions. I've been to a lot of places, but in my humble opinion they all pale in comparison to the south. That's all "Rebel Pride" means to me. Thanks for your videos John. You are a source of inspiration for me, just like Bo Duke was to a kid who desperately needed a positive role model. Thanks for that too.

Love hearing about the Dukes, because I watched it as a kid. I'm 44 & I still love the show! NEVER REMOVE the show! We need more shows like it. I never grew up thinking race & I had friends of ever shade. Color was never a thing. Don't get why it is now. We were more interested in if you were a good person or not. The Southern Cross is different than the Confederate flag & people need to be better educated on history. I remember learning of a southern black man who dressed in a Confederate Uniform & taught the meaning of the different flags in the South during the war & their meanings. He loved his Southern flags. His ancestry was from slavery, but he loved America, was proud to be American & Southern. No victimhood there. I learned a lot from that man. History needs to be taught from real people, not academics.

Every author of the United States Declaration of Independence owned slaves!!! Does that mean the American flag is a symbol of slavery? All of the Founding Fathers owned slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1865. 155 yrs ago. Did the police officer that killed the gentleman in Minnesota have a flag of the Confederacy on his uniform or an American flag? The American flag is made up of “stars and bars”. The states secession was not about slavery. It was about the feeling of unfair governing. History has apparently been rewritten by groups of people to benefit their on desires of protest and mayhem. Slavery was a sin. God created everyone in His own image. ALL lives matter in God’s eyes. Also as far as television shows and racism go, did you know that The Andy Griffith Show NEVER had any African Americans on it? The spin off Mayberry RFD did, but the original did not. Why hasn’t anyone commented on that. However the Dukes had African Americans AND Asian Americans in it. Hmmmmm..... Please keep fighting for The Dukes of Hazzard.

Hi John ... Hubby and I loved watching Dukes of Hazzard... just good fun. I'm Canadian and I never thought there was any racist implications with the General car or any of the stories. They were all just fun to watch for me. It was fiction. It was fun. Fast cars, stupid lawmen, fun stories. All tongue in check. Glad you had fun making that show! Take care and stay safe.

Mr. Schneider, I’m a Caribbean American male that migrated to this country (NYC) from England with my family in the late 70’s. I watched the Dukes of Hazard religiously when it was on the air... Friday evening @8p on CBS. Every one of my friends, Black and Latino watched to show as well! I DO NOT, in any way or form feel that the Dukes of Hazard should be/have been removed because of the General Lee. In this show, there was always some sort of lesson to be learned. Morals played a big part of those lessons, good vs. bad, right vs. wrong. It’s unfortunate in this day and age we live in, with the current events. But the show and the General Lee was loved by all. At the end of the day, the flag is just that, a flag! And I never ever saw or felt that there were any racial undertones associated with the show at all. IMHO. Respect you much!

Im a 48 year old black woman that grew up with her cousin Mikey,may her RIP, watching The Duke if Hazzard. I've NEVER WATCHED an episode that made me feel uncomfortable.

Thank you John Scheider for your wonderful videos. God bless you and your Family .

The Dukes of Hazzard was one of my absolute favorite shows growing up in the 80s. As a white guy I guess it is easy for me to say that there was nothing racist about it. Yet I don’t recall seeing any member of the Duke family, not a Uncle Jesse, not Daisy, not Luke or you “Bo” doing or saying anything that was demeaning, disrespectful or denigrating to any race or ethnicity in any way whatsoever. I recall the show pretty well. It seems to me the writers made sure that hateful and disrespectful attitudes were done by the bad guys-namely Boss Hog. And making a point to show that being a jerk or a bully wasn’t cool. Obviously your show had a very positive impact on me. I realize that nowadays, it is not for some people to decide wether or not racism exists or has existed somewhere. Ok, well then I’ll just say I didn’t see anything like that on the show and see no reason why it should not be shown on tv in the future. That said, there are some people these days who won’t hear any reason orrationality regarding the Rebel Flag. Even though I always saw it as Bo and Luke being rebels. Modern day Robin Hood as it were. EDIT: Also, I really liked Eddie Macon’s Run.

Re: the link, you don't have to open it. I will summarize. Two jerks were giving Daisy attitude (and one of them grabbed her!), Cooter stood up for her, and the three got into a fight. I think Cooter's action is an example of his respect for women. I do not know where your question about salacious behaviors is coming from, but that vile crap is completely foreign to me. Also, I find it self-evident that being accused of salacious behaviors is not at all a prerequisite for seeking to keep one's eyes and mind pure. Innocent people can train themselves to do so as children and remain innocent in that regard for the rest of their lives. And it will teach people (men in particular) to have a deeper respect for women than they would otherwise.

They should continue to air the show (it was great!) but just do like Warner bros did with their Looney Tunes DVDs and a have a disclaimer with some context on the show's use of the flag and the time the show was shot (we just weren't as informed back then as we are now).

@George Yarbrough "At no point was the dukes of Hazzard ever racist" - i whole heartedly agree. "The next problem is the Democrats hiding history.because they've lied to these kids that are growing up now they think the civil war was fought over slavery." - lol it WAS fought over slavery (not Fing 'states rights', and EVEN if that WERE the case, no STATE, or ANY JURSIDICTION, should have the right to 'enslave other humans'). A person is NOT PROPERTY, i don't care whether this comes from 'state' or 'national' or ANY jurisdiction.

Greetings. My name is Mr. Cole. I’m age 36. The movie staring Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville was the first time I was introduced to the dukes of Hazzard. I’ve only recently learned of the original TV series, plus the two sequel movies with the cast of the original TV series. My plan on purchasing the TV series on dvd (unless it’s cheaper on blu-ray), sitting down with a huge bowl of popcorn (with lots of butter) and binge watch the original series. I never make a decision unless I know all the facts. Thank you for reading this and thank you Mr. John Schneider for a great question. Only Peace ☮️

We watched the Dukes, loved the guys, never thought of it more than an entertainment. Didn't read into it as folks do today. Thanks for the memories. Don't let them taint it with their opinions.

I'm a black female and watched Dukes of Hazard every week with my parents and siblings. Given my age at the time, 11 or 12, I had little exposure to racism or racist symbolism, so to me it was just a really fast car with an X and some stars painted on it. As an adult, I now understand and agree that the confederate symbol has strong ties to human oppression, however I don't believe that particular ideology was ever part of the show, otherwise my parents never would have allowed me to watch it. I think targeting old television shows and movies is a waste of time and distracts from the real problems with race that this country has.

Hey John merry Xmas to start. I’m 46 and I loved that show as a kid. I had all the toys and was able to meet boss hog when they brought the general lee to st.Louis. My dad wouldn’t let me watch the show but my aunts and uncles would. He was never happy about that. I’ve watch the show many times as an adult and never once did I see it as a racist show or the characters on the show as that. I saw the general lee representing bo and luke duke as rebels and that’s it. Nothing more nothing less. There was always a lesson in every episode like every other show that was on in the 80s. If you read this I think you for taking the time to do so. Ryan at cpp tech

The Dukes of Hazzard was and always will be,a fun,family friendly show about love for each other,doing the right thing,having values and respect. No one who watched the show when it originally aired,nor the reruns in the 90's had any problems with the car,the flag,the show,nor the actors. All this b.s. is ridiculous!! I'll ALWAYS love the show,the General Lee, the cast and the memories I have of watching it with my dad,mom and little sister. It was the ONLY show on TV that we all liked and could watch together. Much love and respect to you John!!

I am a black woman. I researched the true history of the Confederate flag and I don't see a problem with it. It is a symbol of southern heritage. There are evil people who use it for their own means but the flag should not be punished for that.The"Dukes of Hazzard " was my favorite show! When I watched it I didn't feel offended by the Confederate flag on hood of General Lee.🙂

I doubt it was meant as anything but a piece of history that the south holds on to, not meant as any disrespect to anyone. I loved the Dukes of Hazard too.

I’m 45 and watched the Dukes of Hazzard, and still do. I have introduced my daughter to it (she is 10), and she loves it! So much so, she has built her own General Lee R/C car that she races in a league. She is super proud of it, and I’m proud of her! It is a complete General Lee from the flag on the roof, to the wheels and even the correct number on the license plate. Everyone that races with her absolutely loves the car. That show was never racist in any way, and is still one of my favorites of all time, and now it’s one of my daughter’s favorites as well!! Yeee-haaaa!!

Good evening Mr Schneider. My name's Thomas, I live over in the UK in Scotland, in the country side just outside as town called Stirling. You may have heard of the battle of Bannockburn, that's where I live. I know it's a while since you made this video/asked folks opinions.. hopefully your still reading the replies. This is the first time I've ever written anything on the internet, at 41 years old(young, 41). The situation regarding the rebel flag and the show being off the air, toys stopped being produced etc etc.. brought tear to my eye. And I'd love to let you know why... Being born in1980, I missed the first couple of seasons but my earliest memories are tuning into the dukes with my older brother on a fuzzy TV with push buttons to change between the three channels available. We have Christmas pictures of us grasping our replica toy general Lees. My big brother dressed in his plastic boss Hogg hat that came with his CB hat and revolver set. We even had plastic mud jump ramp, not that my folks were wealthy. My dad eventually bought a small Datsun two door in orange and would let us climb in the windows. We had wooden framed beds we used to push together and constructed a general Lee with a baby rattle that doubled as a shifter, which my brother has kept to this day. Hard to imagine I know. Being Scotland it's usually raining and the roads ain't very straight. However, where my grandfather used to take us fishing had a long(20 mile) straight road with an American style gas station which we used to stop at for provisions en route, to a secret fishing location that amongst all the greenery had a small sandy corner where we fished. At the time it always reminded me of the scenery from the dukes show and to this day it still does, and know one else knows about this spot. Dukes of hazard was only ever shown on it's original airing in the UK until the early 2000s. We missed it greatly growing up, I can honestly say I had a dream about it becoming available in a video rental store when I was younger. Moving on to my late teens/adult years, my brother and I (and my late father who used to do a small jump in his company car for us over a hump in the road when we were younger) never lost the live for everything that the show meant to us.. I always wore a Confederate flag belt buckle, I have always had cowboy boots. My second car was a 79 Camaro at age 20. Chargers are rare as hens teeth here and mega money. I built by hand a 450bhp engine for that car. Gas is currently about $13 a gallon here to give you an idea of the level of commitment. Any way, roll on to present day.. and I hope your not bored yet... I'm, 41, my big brother celebrates his 44th birthday today, he has 2 daughters and one son age 5, I have a beautiful son and daughter. My 7 year old boy is named Bo, my 5 year old nephew is named Lukas, my big brother last January introduced a freshly restored 68, 383 charger into garage, I've only got a lowly 78 Hurst hatch trans am awaiting restoration in my mum's garage, while I'm building a new House next to a reservoir/forest that could pass for hazard county, (build at a stand still just now due to lack of funds but we'll get there) in which to restore the trans am with my kids. And I still wear a rebel flag belt buckle(second one as my original wore out). I have never had anyone comment negatively on it. I was bought a mug at work by a college, I'm a fireman and everyone has a personal mug, mine is the rebel flag. So to answer your question eventually, the confederation/rebel flag to me means.. the dukes of hazard. It always has. It's never had a negative conetation at all. When my children see the flag the refer to it as the general Lee flag. Hopefully when I build my trans am, I'll be able to sell it for enough to buy a project charger. If you ever feel like seeing Scotland John, it would be a pleasure to accommodate you, talk dukes, cars, drink some beers etc. I think the biggest problem in the internet is that it's only really people with a problem or negativity that say anything, if your at peace, happy, and a good person you generally don't go online to tell people about it, hence the majority of anything online tends to be negative. What A Shame. I think the biggest problem is the frustration of knowing a minority of folks can spoil something so innocent, something that has brought such joy to many people and shaped so many lives for the better. I hope this gives you a sense of how I feel. Hope I can shake your hand one day. Kind regards. Thomas Duthie.

The Army of Tennessee 1864 Battle Flag has been a symbol for different things, and must be viewed in context. The context here was a symbol of Southern culture, and nothing more.

The show's moral messages were of kindness, empathy, the importance of family, independence of spirit and enjoying a good life - don't remember any other content apart from that.

In the 1960s a lot of images, symbols, flags and ideas were blindly re-appropriated into graphic and pop art images. Many icons were re-appropriated to represent new ideas...like the "Rebel" flag. It became a symbol of rebellion, anti-conformity, and anti-culture at the time. It was also a brightly coloured cool graphic that looked good on things. I remember it as a common tee shirt graphic in the 70s and it was often custom painted on bikes and cars. Its place in racist history was largely ignored and forgotten...as it should be...because flags don't be racist, people be racist. The use of the flag as a graphic on a custom car is nothing more than that...don't try to twist it into a weapon, when it isn't. Some things need to be taken on face value...like the TV show Dukes of Hazzard and the General Lee and the Confederate flag. My comment on "cancel" culture is "we shouldn't try to erase history...we should remember it and learn from it."

I agree with you 100% I can hear it now. "Hey, there is some show called the Dukes of Hazard that has a rebel flag on it's roof." Oh really? "Yeah. And get this...the cars orange." No way. "Also they call it the General Lee." Didn't General Lee work along side slaves back when it was unfortunately legal? "Yes. As a matter of fact he did."

Mr. Schneider, the racism isn't in a show or a car or in a flag. Its in peoples hearts. That is the honest truth.i grew up watching your show and my kids love watching your show. We have, i think, 4 or 5 seasons of the Dukes on DVD and I can tell you, we never worried about what our kids or now our grand kids were gonna see and hear when we put Dukes on. There was no nudity, no cursing, no racism or anything like that. Thats what made the show so great. Lord, how I wish they would make more shows like that now. Thanks for letting me ramble and say hi to the other Dukes for us. Have a great day, Mr Schneider.

Yeah, people are racist but the flag is clearly a racist symbol that pisses people off. Why can't you understand that?

@@ebogar42 no, the flag is a flag. The racism is inside you. The problem is, the ones screaming that it is racist are the ones who are the most racist. They are just trying to put it on someone or something else.

@@Fordtruckfan89 When did I say the show was racist? lol I said the flag was. I've already made a comment stating that the creator of the show was just stupid and didn't know it was racist when he used it.

Loved the show, I grew up in the early 80s my friends and I watched it and then went out cruising in my 69 Mach 1, much simpler time I miss that America, and I miss my Mustang

I am from England. I totally love watching the dukes. We are lucky that we can still watch it on sky TV.
