I will admit as a child loving Dukes of Hazzard. but I always took the show as kind of a joke, the ONE black guy was a sheriff from the next county over... c'mon. But I do feel the need to stand up for us southerners.. 'Is there still a Confederate flag on your car?' As a matter of fact, yes. But do i agree with anything John Schneider said, nope. My best friend is gay, I also have black friends, and I still love the South. We lost the war, I got it, but we're not idiots. At least not all of us. Unfortunately the ones that uphold the stereotypes of us as backwards hillbillies manage to do so in an Amazing fashion. Those are my un-asked for two cents. Thanks, Jenn
Just to disagree.
