    Yeah, I see your point, what with Joey and Chandler having swastikas all over their apartment and everything.

    Any real Georgians bearing any resemblance to Bo or Luke would unquestionably be racist as F, and the show, pardon the term, whitewashed that aspect completely. If someone wanted to create an infomercial pushing the narrative that it’s possible to be good people while casually, meaninglessly displaying racist symbols, you could scarcely do better. There is no question that the show moved the use of the Confederate Battle Flag toward the mainstream - it made it just a little bit more okay to display it. “No, I’m not racist, just a big fan of Bo and Luke.”

      Stereotype much?

      Any black person "keepin' it real" would be a hustler, too, right? Otherwise they are sellouts?
      Any northerner cannot be racist, because they fought against slavery back in the day, right?

      Your post is one of the most inane ones I've seen in quite a while.

              How many negro actors cruised on the love boat!? Or visited fantasy island?

One was a mechanic of some sort IIRC (no, not Cooter), and the other was Chickasaw County Sheriff Little, the neighboring county to Hazzard, and he was portrayed as a no-nonsense by-the-book sheriff.

              Also, if you care to read more at the diversity of the cast of the Dukes show:
              What's worth noting, though, is that The Dukes of Hazzard, while not the most diverse show in television history, did, in fact, feature some black characters. The only regular black character was neighboring Chickasaw County Sheriff Little, portrayed by Don Pedro Colley, but over the course of seven seasons, the show featured at least 19 other black characters. Ji-Tu Cumbuka, Kevin Peter Hall, Al White (2 episodes), Hal Williams, Herb Jefferson Jr. (2 episodes), Steven Williams (2 episodes), Wally Taylor, John Dewey Carter, Ella Mae Brown, Ernie Hudson, James Reynolds, Woody Strode, Harrison Page, Teddy Wilson, Jesse D. Goins, William Allen Young, James Avery, Tony Brubaker, and Ken Foreeall had roles during the series' 146 episodes.

              That's an average of about one every seven episodes, at a time when the traditional lack of diversity on television was a lot worse than it was in, say, the nineties. Yet The Dukes of Hazzard, set in rural Georgia, outpaced two of the biggest 90s hits on television. In its 180-episode run, Seinfeld only managed to feature 19 black characters, while Friends was so white, they made a song about it:

              In case you weren't counting, that's 24 black characters in ten seasons, and 236 episodes. And both of those shows were set in New York City.

                Um, that's part of the point. Although Love Boat DID have that one guy Isaac. I never watched the show, basically clicked by it while channel surfing. Never have seen Fantasy Island, I just know the catch phrase of "De plane!"

                            Have you seen Florida? The election laws make about as much sense as anything having to do with that state
