I think you'll find they were acting and it was in the script🙄

@Never Stop Never Stopping ✌💯✌🍸✌ In many episodes that is what Uncle Jesse spoke about family, love and loyalty. This was/is one of the best shows in television history. People can say what they want but in those days and times life was so much simpler and enjoyable. Just look at today's world and look back then.

Stop kissing ass

@Never Stop Never Stopping : Well spoken :-)

YES !!!!!

I will watch the show all day long and night. But was the only good i saw that flag. The problem is the people who this flag a symbol of hate

Yep

The American flag is a symbol of hate in this wicked generation. What's your point?

@@jamesfowler5100 didnt the people who also carried that flag fight against the American flag. And bullshit dude the only people use the American flags as symbol of hate also use that flag. When u see do see them two flags together marching who are the people u see mostly like that?

In a show set in the south, how many black characters are in it? Shit, I bet the first episode of "Enos" had more black folk that a whole season of "Whites Driving Fast".

@@paulcoy9060 That's not categorical proof of racism. Compare it to other popular TV shows of the time: "Dallas", "Days of Our Lives", "Knight Rider", "Little House On The Prarie", etc, etc. I'm sure we could list the entire lineup of TV series that didn't have many or any black actors at the time. Stop judging situations in the past by today's standards! It was a different time, and times were changing even then. Without the changes that were being made then, we wouldn't have the positive progress we have today.

Same here, Latino and I loved the show and especially the car. Leave the car as is

@@paulcoy9060 Was Sheriff Ed Little white?

If you have a victim mindset you will see racism in things that have nothing to do with racism. You and I are dont have a victim mindset. We see things as they are. Some good old country folk driving a cool car and fighting the crooked Boss Hog government. Great show, great cars, lots of action and then there is Daisy Duke. What is not to like. Yeeeeehaaaaw

Can I get a heck yeah 😉👍

To begin with, there's no such person as "Uncle Jesse"; it was a character played by actor Denver Pyle. In the clip, Mr. Pyle is reciting dialogue that was written by someone else. He's repeating A SCRIPT. Second, the Confederate Battle Flag is a symbol of white supremacy. How do I know that you might ask, well the person who created it said so. William T. Thompson, creator of the Confederate Battle Flag specifically said the flag was a symbol of white supremacy. Thompson said of the flag, “As a people we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or color race. A white flag would thus be emblematic of our cause. Upon a red field would stand forth our Southern Cross. Gemmed, preserving in beautiful contrast the red, white and blue.”

@@JJSmith-le5mu indeed that may have been the initial use for the flag yes, but it came to stand for rebelling against the powers that be, much like the swastika was a symbol of peace in India before being used by the Nazi's, so that flag's meaning got changed, why is it hard to understand that the Confederate flag got re-used to symbolise rebels. They never once said or did anything racist in the TV show, in fact the Sheriff of Chickasaw County was a huge black dude, that was as straight up as they come, everyone feared and respected him. Also I know plenty of black people that loved and still love the show, and didn't be snowflakes about a flag on the roof of a car, because it wasn't something that was a big deal to most people with sane minds.

@@Sennaxm71 Sir, I presented you with proof that the Confederate Battle Flag was designed to be a symbol of white supremacy straight from the man who designed it to be that. Yet you reject that proof because it does not fit with your preconceived notions. I've provided the facts. If you choose to ignore/deny those facts, there's nothing more I can say or do.

@@JJSmith-le5mu how the feck did I reject the truth? I even admitted that it may well HAVE BEEN the original intent of it, therefore admitting your evidence. I merely presented you with more facts, that YOU choose to deny, not me pal. 'tis you sir, that is the one in denial, anyone with half a brain didn't and still doesn't give a hoot what flag was on the roof of the car, to us, it wasn't about racism, it was about good values and integrity, and as a kid, I loved the General Lee sliding about sideways and doing jumps, and I am certainly no racist, as my wife and son are mixed race. And my wife is that easy going, I'm sure if I really wanted one, I could have a giant Confederate flag in our house, and she wouldn't mind, or think I was being a racist. Because she knows, if I did want it, it would be because of my love for the Dukes of Hazzard and my being a bit of a rebel, not for any low down nefarious reason. Also, if I'm being honest, I don't like the fact that you think we were all stupid enough to believe that it was Uncle Jesse saying those things. Obviously he was an actor, and obviously he was reciting lines he'd learnt, we're not still 6 years old back in the 70's, so it kind of goes without saying really doesn't it, unless you're wanting to sound like a dick 🤣

Uncle Jesse is a wise man

Yeah... Just FORGET about who-enslaved-who, and who bombed Tulsa Oklahoma, and Jim Crow laws, and thousands of lynchings (murders committed as means of public terrorism theater), and the Tuskeegee experiment, and the flooding of all the poor black neighborhoods - created and kept poor, by redlining and segregation - with drugs and triggerhappy cops... That seems like great advice, to you and Uncle Jesse...I'm sure... Meanwhile this show normalizes and puts a smileyface on Confederate/KKK symbols and figures... "Just a good ole boys"... As if...

Another WorldView Is Possible soy boy

Well said👍👍

crgzero authorities are the bad guys 😂 that’s what rebellion is for that’s why they ran from the cops! But then again it’s why my cousins in prison because he ran from the cops 😂! The rebel flag will always be against government or law telling the people what to do! No racism bout that they died for the belief!

@crgzero Sheriff Little wasn't portrayed as a "bad guy", he was just a very tight, stern,feared Sheriff everyone knew about that liked his job of upholding the law and that didn't take chit from anybody. How was he a bad guy dah ? If you can recall at all, if there was a bad black guy in the show, he always had a white accomplice with him, there wasn't just a bunch of black guys ganging up on the Duke boys. They were ex-cons that did time together, yes, blacks and whites did time together dummy, like what happens in real prison. I'm racist against dummies who can't understand what they read or see, then open their big mouths and shit flows out, influencing the other stupid people in the wrong way... like Trump. Get your facts straight before you open your mouth dumb ass.

Nothing against sheriff little though he crossed lines still what does a flag have to do with anything the Confederate flag has been around since the civil war

Amen!!

The General Lee was part of our childhood. Time to grow up

Exactly. I never saw it as hate. All i saw was the flag on the roof of the general.

@Mycheal Lugibihl thats what I always thought it was and I'm from super liberal Seattle!!!

Very interesting replies. So are y’all saying y’all took something negative and turned it into something positive? Humm. Is it the same as black Americans changing the word and meaning of ni$$a? If so I kinda understand that. Using the confederate flag to express a lil rebel inside us. Cool concept. But you can’t tie heritage to it. The heritage of that flag is very nasty and vile. They hated the north. They hated the thought of losing their slaves. They hated they lost. They hated the slaves were free. They hated the ppl that were slaves. They used that flag when they were doing the killing and the hating and the building of the statues. 🤷‍♂️ js

Spoken like a true white boy...

Amen to that!

Thats NOT uncle Jessie!!

That is not what Uncle Jesse said.

I disagree with Timothy McCormick the Confederate flag on top of the car need to be taken down. If I am not mistaken I think the flag was taken off the car. Some people just do not get it, or don't want to.

@@johnthomasjr.5421 They never took the flag off the car! That show ended YEARS ago, way before this BULLSHIT started. As far as the flag needing to come off the car .. did that show offend you? Do you realize that at the time that show aired, the viewership was hugely a black audience that loved it! That flag wasn't hated then like it is now. It's just the recent culture over the last 5 years and the recent black lives ma... oops.. Democrat politician votes matter movement started.

To begin with, there’s no such person as “Uncle Jesse” (he was a character played by actor Denver Pyle who delivered lines of dialogue written for him--those weren't his words). Second, you’re defending a prop used in a television show. The “General Lee” is prop used in fiction, just as much as the 1960s “Batmobile” was used in fiction (I mention this because you don’t seem to be aware of “Uncle Jesse” existing only as a character, and “General Lee” being a prop).

Y'all know there was a writer behind the scripts or not?

I agree. I just wish the Confederacy would have treated their slaves and Union soldiers with better hospitality during the Civil War.

@@RocKnight11 dude, Sherman's March to the sea was an atrocity. The South showed the north the correct amount of hospitality.

@@rickshawjones8591 Stop crying about Sherman's March to Sea. Many Americans will say dropping the atomic bombs on Japan was necessary because it ultimately saved American lives. Sherman's Savannah campaign also saved American lives. What Sherman did to Georgia wasn't even that bad compared to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The funny thing is the Duke boys were always standing up to corruption and the establishment and that's what all these idiots in the streets are claiming to do but yet they hate the Dukes. They're not all that sharp really. LOL!

InformationIsTheEdge do you forget the show called Hogan’s Heroes which did show it! Description Perhaps the funniest show ever made about fictional hilarity in a Nazi P.O.W. prison, this series focuses on Stalag 13, a camp set aside for U.S. resistance fighters and overseen by the strict but bumbling Col. Klink. Although the prisoners have an abnormal number of perks at the camp, they are constantly trying to mess with the Germans and help the Allied war effort from within. First episode date: September 17, 1965 Final episode date: April 4, 1971

Can I get an Amen up in here?

This is what I been saying about the flag for yrs. Just represents the rebel in us all.

I agree with everything you said but thought I’d drop a little extra nugget of information. God compares rebellion to witchcraft in the Bible so even with it not being racist, it’s not something a god fearing bunch like the duke boys should be flying. Just my opinion from a biblical perspective, I love the show.

@@Kman8962 I spiritually and emotionally feel exactly where you are coming from but realistically all these controversy over the Confederate flag and monument removals are a little over the top. If you wanna erase any trace of the United States racial history then that would mean renaming cities like NYC which was named after a slave owner and virtually destroying places like Mount Rushmore and etc etc. Where would it end? Instead of removing these items add to them that way in solidarity they'll coexist and people can see all the aspects of America. The good, the bad and the ugly. I'm more impressed than angry with them whose stand up proudly for their heritage regardless of what it details. A change is indeed coming but we need to except things we can't change. The past is the past so let's just move forward. Dr Martin Luther King would have never approved of destroying or demolition of monumental monuments whether they are racist or not. As for The Dukes Of Hazard🤚 I'll forever say there was absolutely nothing racist about this show. That flag represented the legendary General Lee car.

Kman8962 Time has changed the way people think and exposed the sad truth about the Confederate symbols used in this TV series. I myself have come to the realisation of the power of such symbology thru media and from people like yourself. It is regretful that it was ever used in this show. I don’t have the answers to what should be done to this show as I can only see the true meaning of the Confederate flag, it’s name and for what it stood for.

My favorite, too! I grew up watching it. This show had a lot of good morals and values, like what Uncle Jesse just talked about in this clip.

Your more than 1000,000,000,000,000 to Infinity the best show, if I was out playing, I came running home to watch my favorite show if all, my past CHRISTMAS, my son gave a gift of 3 discs of shows to watch. One of my Best CHRISTMAS presents ever in many years.

Also known as the REBEL FLAG too, that's what's its known for in DUKES OF HAZZARD. The SOUTH made a FLAG so no more Rebels died in the CIVIL WAR. The North had a FLAG so THEY DIDN'T shoot each other by ACCIDENT. The SOUTH did until they made flag, there's 3 of them,

I think it was the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, lead by Robert E Lee.. Although theirs was a square, not a rectangle

Christ dude, learn the REAL history you ass.

@@joachimguderian4048 Okay, so what is it?

Yes, you're right. It was the battle flag of an army that marched in defense of legalized slavery. The war was 155 years ago. No one alive today needs to feel shamed by it, but there's also no reason to celebrate it these days or pretend that it was something more noble than what it actually was. Do you know what the actual national flag of the Confederacy was? It had a small version of the battle flag in the top left corner and the rest of it was completely white...because white superiority. Not kidding. Look it up.

Ha ha. That was actually a tactic used by many parents, and acknowledged among the cast of the Dukes. I believe Denver was aware of and proud of it!

You used to be a children? When did y'all amalgamate into a singular being?

Thats the point though, the ones calling the shots WANT racism and division and are hiding behind a facade of "equality". They have been working since the CivilWar to destroy everything that could possibly unite the Western world.

Dude they've taken out Grant😙 Forget about lee

History can't be erased. There will always be history books and museums. I struggle to understand how anyone with a soul can show reverence to a man who fought for the continuation of slavery. A man who, by historical accounts, was particularly brutal in punishment of slaves, believed slavery to be a benefit to Africans, and went about the business of buying slaves who were set to be freed and breaking up the families through selling them. Is that the type of man who should be honored? Stop confusing mythology with actual history.

@@Kman8962 History books have been destroyed and rewritten with absolute lies and leaving out vital parts and people. Museums are have been throwing out historical figures and putting up paintings of white people being raped-murdered by black people. My ancestors, the Cheyenne, Cherokee, Lakota, and Navajo had their LANGUAGE and History beaten out of them and BURNED by Reservation Schools so dont you DARE say it cant happen.

@@grayeaglej I'm not daring anything. History can't be erased. There will always be some account preserved. What you're talking is accessibility to historical accounts, heritage, etc. Two very different things. And your ancestors weren't the only people to have their heritage stolen from them. What do you think happened to my ancestors? Our heritage was beaten, raped, murdered, and so on from us as well. So badly that we have no sense of what tribe we're from. You just named all your ancestral lineage. I can't. I've tried to find my lineage. Africans don't even consider black Americans as partially African. So maybe in the future ask for clarification before going into attack mode. I never said history would always be easily accessible or untampered with. I said you can't erase history.

The flag is and why did it need to be apart of the show? Have you ever thought deeper into why. Morality is not what is right but knowing right from wrong. History is not In a flag it's a symbol of hope. What is wrong with you not to see it.

@Logan Hernandez who cares what your last name is hate is fucking hate. Just because you have a name means what.

@Logan Hernandez what happened a to the souls of us when we die. Do only white souls go to heaven? Wake up Forrest your fears are taking you away from God.

@Logan Hernandez no land,language, skin, or money exist in heaven. Your a fool who believes in something that doesn't exist. Why is my question. You think you were just giving a land to keep it for yourself? What's is your logic on way your were born in a land of freedom? Gifts are meant to be shared only once you keep them will you lose it. Very sad your message you think you were blessed with.

@Logan Hernandez who are you to believe that you were blessed only to not give? Sad very sad. I feel sorry for you because you are going to live In regret. Only the ones that know they are blessed will move on. Opportunity is closing

ain't that the truth

But let's suffice it to say that this show was always a fantasy version of the South - virtually devoid of black folks (or any references to the Klan and racism) - at a time when that was becoming less common on TV.

Despite men committing treason for the Confederate Battle Flag, that does not diminish the fact it is a symbol of white supremacy, as started by William T. Thompson, the creator of the Confederate Battle Flag. Thompson said of the flag, “As a people we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or color race. A white flag would thus be emblematic. As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism.” The phrase "as heaven ordained." meaning God bestowed the "supremacy of the white man over the inferior or color race." That's what you stand in support of?

​@@JJSmith-le5mu That bigotry came from Darwin.

@@jumbalayaismisspeells3363 Well, On the Origin of Species was published on November 24, 1859, and slavery was legal and ethnic cleansing was U.S. policy well before that, so I don't believe you're correct.

Or can't we as a nation seek to undo the attitudes of the past that that flag is associated with? It would be nice to see it represent a *new* South, one where prejudice and hatred are buried and tolerance and decency towards all celebrated. You could even color it different to represent that new viewpoint (and no, it doesn't necessarily have to be rainbow - though you can if you want!)

steve hansen take a real history lesson before showing your ignorance about the south.

To the people that say the "rebel" flag stands for hate. That flag was adopted by the veterans of the civil war associations to always be flown with the American flag at memorials and parade events to celebrate the healing or (reunion) of the U.S.A. If it weren't for the forgiveness of Christ and the obedience of those who listened to His instruction on both sides, there'd be a big checkpoint all the way across this country like N and S Korea! Visa and Mastercard are symbols of hate to me.... Does that mean I can have'em shamed out of existence for doing what everyone knows they do naturally? If you ain't spreadin' God....you're spreading the devil. And if you ain't tellin' the whole truth, you're livin' a lie no matter what symbol you carry into battle.

@@srh667 I'll restate it clearer for you. Those memorials and that particular flag were adopted by the veterans of the civil war associations as a way to remember the cost of war! The flag was to always be flown WITH the American flag at memorials and parade events to celebrate the HEALING or (reunion) of the U.S.A. But for the obedience to Jesus Christ and the law of GOD on the topic of the forgiveness, by those who listened to His instruction on BOTH sides of that great conflict, there'd be a big checkpoint all the way across this beautiful country, like N and S Korea! Visa and Mastercard are symbols of hate to me.... Does that mean I can have them and everything they touch shamed out of existence for doing what everyone knows they do naturally? If you're a liberal progressive.... so much for diversity and freedom of choice if you do! The current ignorance blossomed because our historical knowledge got twisted and rewritten or intentionally forgotten! So the battle over these memorials is not a simple as North v South or Black v White! Prime example of how perspective comes into play would be, if a Civil war broke out between BLM and the US Army, what side would you defend? If your state chose BLM would you leave it, join it, or fight against your own state? To me BLM is the same as ISIS and the 11th letter of the alphabet x3! .....But yet we all see which one of those abbreviations gets censored by the algorithm here because it "offends" someone. During the Civil war, many men and boy's who HAD NO CHOICE because they were of "legal" age ( 13 ) to be drafted, fought for "their rights" in the Civil war and DIED while others wrote books and fanned the flames for profit! The reason the south lost before they began is exactly because of its leaders support of an ancient, horrible, dying institution.....but as far a I know nobody today is MADE to join the police force of their state or city... so we should never forget the cost of being wrong! Maybe a museum would be the place but that wont stop people like you from lobbing around accusations and hateful propaganda meant to foment hate will it? I maintain.
