John Schneider is a man of common sense, wisdom, class, and Patriotism. Not to mention a great actor and musician!

Huh, she grew up watching it and loved the show but NOW after she was TOLD it was offensive she's now offended? Grow up, think for yourself!

Cancel culture is a joke! God bless you John! Such wisdom

If your offended, don't watch it!! The Dukes of Hazzard is one of the best shows of all times. Shows today suck, and the Rebel flag is part of history and means alot to alot of people. If you dont like, dont look

Even as a progressive, I agree with John here 100%. The Dukes was an innocent, light hearted TV show dressed up in with southern characteristics that entertained an audience. It never approached the seriousness of racism or slavery, and it wasn't meant to. Put into context, Tom Wopat stated the "Flag was just a decoration really". That sums it up pretty well to me.

It was a threat in my family that my Mom used... if we didn't do the dishes/clean our room/etc... there would be "No Dukes on Friday!" 😅

Dr.Jackie needs a lesson in racist shows. Cause the Dukes of Hazzard is not on the list of racist shows. Like John said they were just 2 good ole boys never meaning no harm. The flag was on the car because of the name of the car. And if Dr.Jackie thinks we know better now about the show we'll do better , maybe she needs to do better herself and do her homework on it better. Cause if I was her teacher on this she'd fail big time! Want to talk about racist shows I can name some that are still on t.v. today that nobody mentions a thing about. The Jeffersons, All in the family just to name a couple

The show was awesome! Better than the crap out today....so....if you don't like it, don't watch it!

To this day, I yell ‘Yee-Haw’ when my car pops over a sudden hill. As a kid, I loved the show and so did my family. It’s exhausting being politically correct.

There is a whole side to the Civil War story that most people (including the talking heads here) are blissfully unaware of. The ending of slavery was a good thing and nearly everyone today, including southerners agree. But the civil war story doesn’t end with General Lee’s surrender. There was a very heavy-handed, repressive Union occupation of the south that went on for years after the war. The Dixie flag took on a whole new meaning from that point on. People who think flying the Dixie flag is celebrating slavery are ignorant.

This show was silly, and it followed a favorite show of mine, "The Incredible Hulk." To me it was harmless entertainment. This shows how petty and obsessed cancel culture really is. I refuse to be controlled by fear of them!

The Dukes Of Hazzard was as innocent as Scooby -Doo...Ridiculous to look for trouble were there is none.

Hey I'm proud to call John a neighbor he lives right outside of the town I live in ,and I have been a fan of show sence a was young child ,,I feel like it should still be on,.

Sorry, I was to busy looking at the good looking John Schneider to pay attention to the flag on the car! Loved John and the Dukes then, and still do!

John has nothing to apologize for. Except entertaining the HELL out of us! Smart man. Glad to see him back!

Thank you John for having common sense and explaining it to the media and the cancel culture crap. Keep staying true. Spot on.. this lady needs to go get educated on this flag and what it really doesn't/ didn't mean.

Dr. Jackie is confusing reality with fiction. The Dukes of Hazzard was and is a fictional TV show. It was intended as a family show. The flag represented rebellion in the show as the Dukes were breaking the rules and thumbing their nose at the law. It was a light hearted show meant to entertain. Dr. Jackie needs to learn the difference between reality and fiction.

Too bad John didn’t get to answer at the end.

Well there is definitely one ignorant close-minded person on here... Maybe someone would like to point it out?

Now they are saying the American flag is offensive...

The Dukes were a wholesome family of love of god and country. They never had an evil bone in their bodies. Leave them alone for crying out loud. If the flag or the show offends you for some reason then don't watch it, pretty simple, but you don't have the right to tell me that I can or can't watch it. Yee Haw!

What’s the subtle message? There was nothing even remotely bad on the show. Literally people making something up that never existed. Lol, she was literally the one trying to provoke something.

From here in the UK, I think a point has been missed. As much younger viewers when The Dukes of Hazzard launched here, the Confederate flag and the Dodge Chargers name of General Lee, 'immediately' told us all, that this show was set in the South of the USA.. Most of us lads & lassies here in the UK thought the flag indicated 'Country Music', and never connected politics or race relations to it. (And still don't). Watch the shows and you can't help notice that there really wasn't any racial prejudice or political point scoring present at all !

One person or group’s interpretation of the meaning of the rebel flag does not solidify the show’s intent to promote racism. I never felt that the Duke family was anything but good and wholesome. And I certainly don’t blame a flag for some people’s racist behavior or mindset. John is a good man. And The Dukes of Hazzard was an awesome show. Not like what is being openly promoted and embraced on today’s television.

I don't think "Dr. Jackie" has a clue. John Schneider would destroy her in a debate.

Assuming a confederate flag was tantamount to endorsing slavery reflects a shoddy understanding of history

He's one of the actors I admire the most. As a man of Indian descent I hope he NEVER apologizes for the show and for that flag. Any one who has an issue with that flag then that's on the person not the flag.

Well said John...you are a true voice of reason.

She watched it and enjoyed it, but now she 'knows better' she wants to 'do better' by banning it so that others can't watch it and enjoy it. That makes sense.

I listened to Waylon Jennings sing his theme song every Saturday night in 1979 and 1980. I love the Duke Boys, Uncle Jessie, Daisy Dukes, Boss Hogg, Roscoe P. Coltrane, Cooter, The General Lee. I never missed an episode.

That flag is part of our history. It's a shame that people can't understand that. It needs to stay!!!

John is so very gracious, and very right about this "issue". People are misinterpreting a symbol and as a result they'll misinterpret him too. If people want to understand and they actually listen, they'll realize it's nothing to do with race. My understanding of the flag was exactly the same as Schneider's. It's the Rebel Flag. We call it that, we understand it to mean that. The meaning of the flag changed through time. There doesn't have to have something racial attached to it, that is so gross. It's someone gluing their own personal skeletons and psy-baggage onto a beautiful symbol that has meaning akin to Freedom or Liberty, not Civil War Slavery like the "liberals" would explain it.

I'm Hispanic, and we don't dwell on the Alamo and the southern states being stolen form Mexico. Some people just need to "get over it" It happened so long ago. Enjoy the short life we have on this earth. I watched The Dukes of Hazard and really enjoyed the series , it was entertaining back in the day.

Dr Jackie I would not give up the south for antything it has taught me a lot truth

My sister got two dukes of hazzard coloring books still in the original plastic

Love it now and then. That is what tv was meant to be. So many people have such unnecessary issues. Let's enjoy life and dukes are the best. Love you John.

That show was awesome. It was Great laughs and family oriented.

I agree. John Snyder is a great humanitarian, actor, and musician. He's from New York but he has a down to earth quality to him.

Loved the Dukes of Hazzard, every Friday Night.

This was getting tense lol. John was ready explode on her.

Forget this women. Dukes of hazard forever!😁

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I vividly remember the Dukes having more than a handful of Black alias that helped them in the show. And I also remember Uncle Jesse giving a speech against bigotry and prejudice saying we’re all children of god and that all that matters is what’s in your heart - love or hate.

Thank you John. Dukes of Hazzard was just a TV show that had good values and was entertaining something that most shows today dont have today.

When I was a kid, the flag on the car (to me) meant "DixieLand" in a sense it represented the south, and location below the "Mason Dixon Line". I never got the impression it represented anything else as a kid living in the NE of America. Having grown up and I am certainly a whole different person with worldly experiences, I am noticing a campaign to re-write history and re-define the meanings of words, symbols, and statues. I did not have a southern view of what these things meant at that time 70's-80's. The intent of "The Dukes of Hazzard" was always a good, family oriented theme in which the GOOD 'OL BOYS always prevailed over the corrupt and ill intent law in the town.

I met John Schneider years ago at a studio in Manhattan Beach and I'm a black man who he'd treated me with such kindness that no way I would think he would be a part of something hateful. regardless of that flag on the General Lee. I know that John Schneider is an awesome guy and I can tell he doesn't have a racist bone in his body.

"Now that I have been told what to think and feel vice what I think and feel, it should be banned" Stay true John we love you & the show!!!

The Dukes was a good natured show. It had good examples and nice themes and it was as good a show as many others at the same time. The confederate flag never was a big deal within the show, it simply was there. I think the show could stand up to any scrutiny in terms of racism etc, and be found innocent. Mr Schneider is a man of integrity who knows that the Dukes was a good show in so many ways and doesnt need any revisions to fit how things are looked at these days. It should be viewed and enjoyed in the spirit in which it was intended.

As I'm southern born and bread, I can truly say that when the Dukes were on, no one cared that the flag was there. It was and still is a sign of heritage not hate. That flag is not even the confederate battle flag.

KEEP IT FLYING!!!

Great Response John!!!!!

Dukes of Hazzard was an awesome show and it still is !!! and your feelings don't mean squat keep em to yourself boo hoo ! And the flag is NOT racist !!

What messages is she talking about...can someone please tell me...so then why are the Jefferson's and archie bunker still on

Thank you John Schneider for keeping reality and common sense in this time for lies and hiding truth.

John Schneider, You're a Class Act...keep up the Great Work, and Beliefs!

I didn't even like Dukes of Hazzard as a kid, but they clearly meant no harm with the Confederate flag on the General Lee. It was more like a "we're proud to be Southern boys" kind of thing.

people now are so sensitive. they couldn't survived the 70's 80's and 90's.

You tell them John.

The fact that she stated she “lived for” that show...just as I did as a kid...bc it was a family friendly show....proves that it wasn’t viewed as a racial thing!!! Having been born n raised in the south, its been the elite liberal outsiders that have made it an issue!! The flag at its core has always been a symbol against ‘the man”/ govt overreach !! I knew a bl k man...who in the late 90s early 2000s rode around in cola sc w a big flag flying in the bed of his pickup truck!!! The flag remained a symbol of the south as a reminder of what happens w govt overreach!!! The govt didn’t go to war w the south initially bc of slavery. It went to war bc the president didn’t think that the south had the right to succeed! When he needed more bodies to fight bc the south was winning, it was then that per suggestion he used it as a way to recruit blacks to join the war effort. If you do some deep research, that is if the proxy govt overlords haven’t scrubbed it from the internet (since ppl do read books anymore), you would find this to be true! Think the govt wouldn’t go door to door or burn cities n towns to the ground??! Believe it...bc they’ve already done it!! Slavery at that time would have become obsolete had they allowed the things taking place during that time to play out(I’m in no means defending slavery, but we have to stop viewing history through the lense of today)! The movement to end slavery was high, plus the industrial revolution was working its way down south! It would have completely changed the landscape. The problem was the fact that the north was a lot richer than the south which did not have the money to purchase such machines. There is a black man in either Charlotte or Raleigh nc who has brought to light the interesting dynamics of the south. Look him up!

Her: “Subtle messages and we need to do better.” Also her: “I loved for the Dukes of Hazzard every Friday.” Pick a lane!

Whoa John still lookin fine

Go John , keep speaking the truth & never give into the woke BS !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

If she grew up watching the show then I'd like to know what was her favorite episode. Come to think of it that may be an impossible question even for me. I'll ask easier, who was her favorite character, and why? I won't hold my breath.

The problem is that racism will always exist when people look for it and try to make something not racist into racism. I grew up in an area where the majority was black. And I'm talking 100's of thousands. 99% were fine, but then there was always the one who no matter what you did or what the process was, they found a way to call you racist. That flag is about rebellion, not oppression. The only ones making it about oppression are the ones who can't move on and have a nagging desire to find racism where there is none.

There was a flag in the show? All I remember was smokin' hot Daisy. How dare anyone try & take her off the air

She said when we know better, we do better. The same can be said that when we know worse, we do worse. I’m 45 years old and times were better then. There is an old saying of not crying over spilled milk. People today cry before the milk is spilled.

The car is awesome, and always will be.

That is a part of history, why are they all so eager to wipe that flag and everything else out?

She watched the show and now all these years later she is offended by it,what a brain washed society we live in.

I'm with John 100%

It's almost as if they want a people to deny their own culture and traditions. I'm sorry but the Dukes of Hazzard was a family-friendly show with good morals and values Mr Snyder has nothing to apologize for. I find it offensive that he has to defend himself like that. This is America after all.

The Dukes of Hazzard was INCLUSIVE in every way. How you guys ended this interview with John was unprofessional IMO.

That's the new way of doing things now. If someone is saying something you don't like just shut them down. Censorship at it's finest. 🤷🏻‍♀️

People are so narrow-minded about the flag you really need to read the real history about the flag it does not mean racist the 13 stars on that flag or for the original 13 colonies

My FAVORITE show!!!!!

Don't let the chick interrupt you!

I think Dr. Jackie went into this interview with the clear intention of provoking him. I agree with John, intention is everything and I applaud him for not bowing under or allowing himself to be drawn into a battle of semantics. I grew up watching this show when it originally aired and I don't recall one instance of ever watching an episode and feeling like the show was promoting racism or trying to subtly convert me to racism. At that time, where I grew up, the rebel flag was exactly what John stated, a symbol of rebellion. Yes, it absolutely may mean something different to someone else today but don't expect people to feel shamed over holding a different meaning of it or apologize for having a different opinion.

😁 The flag and the Dukes never meant that, it never meant racist. I've been a fan my whole life, literally so I agree!

A talented man who speaks the truth. I don't look at The Dukes of Hazzard as a racist show. It was a fun show that was not meant to offend people, but people do have their own way of thinking & that's fine.

The Dukes of Hazzard rebelled against Boss Hogg and Rosco, and anything they had their hands in. Did they or did they not help blacks out who were on the receiving end of Boss Hogg or Rosco? They helped anyone in need no matter who it was, man, woman or child.

As the man said, Keep up the good work , John.

Thank you

Love The Dukes of Hazard, I wish they'd show reruns 🇺🇸

John Schneider is very well spoken!

Let's get rid of every thing that we've made up to offend us. People are so weak today.

What an incredible gentleman John Schneider is! First time I've seen someone on a show like this not talk over anyone and allowed someone to interrupt him and he stopped to let her talk. God bless John Schneider. Cancel dr. Junkie.

One of the greatest shows ever, I miss the reruns

Everyone has a different interruptions to the meaning of things. So I disagree with certain things. Doesn't mean it should be eliminated or destroyed. So your interruptions are different, move on.

The rebel flag on the General Lee wasn’t a subtle message of racism or any other kind of message of racism. Period.

Some people just need to let the past where it is, in the past! Make your life what you want it to be today and quit fussing about something that happened way before any of us where around. I realize there is a small, and very small at that, faction that still uses that flag as a symbol of their hatred. There are groups that use the swastika and many other symbols that offend people, grow the hell up, put your adult pants on and move on with your life. I agree with John, the cancel culture needs canceled as it has as much or more hatred going for it right now than the symbols and history they are trying to erase.

My late dad introduced me to the show when I was just a toddler & I fell in love with the General Lee & the flag on the General Lee. I really don't think The Dukes of Hazzard is racist at all. That '69 Dodge Charger with the 01 on the sides of the car is a really cool car. I watched & I loved that show growing up. I own the complete series in digital format on KZfaq. I just think it's a great show & I really don't believe it's racist at all.

I wish people were more offended by Cardi B's "WAP" instead of great wholesome shows like "Dukes Of Hazzard"

i have no apologies for the flag, and the woman's just doing her best to get people 'triggered'.

They sure don’t make good family shows or music now a days like they used to. Cardi B gets a Grammy for WAP?

Every time someone says something is offensive to them someone needs to do exactly what offense them until they are desensitized

I never take a rebel flag off the General Lee would be the car it is without that flag

It is good to have these kind of conversations, I am a Rebel from way back, I am not a racist. I do understand that different things have different meanings to different people. It just means people are different. Not wrong or right, different. What I did see was that she was not going to let up until John gave in. In her eyes he was going to have to change his opinion. John was understanding and was not trying to change her opinion. The root of all the problems is that the left pushes everyone to cower and give in to there way of thinking. They can not just respect other opinions on anything. You must comply or you will burn you down.......

Thank you John .

I like John more every time I hear his opinion on various topics.

When she said Mississipians she sure the hell wasn't speaking for all of Mississippi and not all blacks think the way that this lady speaks. Southern blacks are part of our culture and a lot of blacks support the Confederacy and the Flag.

The most ridiculous thing is that he’s even having to explain this. The flag isn’t offensive at all.
