Today Warner Bros. banned the "Dukes of Hazard" car (The General Lee)
Well if you're going to start banning flags from appearing in media because they are offensive to some people, you have to at least get all of them.
Ban the WWII era Japanese flag from appearing in movies
The Japanese during WWII were responsible for the genocide of millions of Chinese citizens. This flag is offensive to Chinese Americans and should be removed from any movie that it appears in.
Ban any flag that displays the Swastika from appearing in movies
The Nazi's were responsible for the death of millions of Jews and other populations across Europe. This flag is offensive to Jewish people and should be removed from any movie that it appears in.

Weird, I don't remember the Duke boys being racist. It's almost as if everyone that represents the flag is not racist

I understand not flying it at government buildings, but banning it? I can go hang a pirate flag outside my house and nobody says shit. Arrr.

The difference: General Lee and the Dukes take pride in that flag and it's positively reinforced. The Nazi flag and Japanese flag in movies-

are typically shown in war scenes, not being positively reinforced but showing history.

I'm wondering how many American flags will be shown and waved about in SF tomorrow...

Also, I tend to agree, it's somewhat shit kneejerk "you're offending me" bs. One side's voice just got louder than the other is all.

I see what's happened here. You've confused 'car' with 'flag'....
ThatFartsGonnaItchWhenItDries
they banned the car because the flag was on the car

I gotta agree with this... Good or bad, that flag is a part of history. Where does this end, really?

I want a ban on any representation of the British flag! We beat them and it stands for tyranny and atrocities enacted on my ancestors!
