I watched it earlier on youtube. At one point a Russian says something and the radio jammer plays the tune the General Lee made on Dukes of Hazzard, the name of which escapes me right now. Some confederate thing. I snickered.
Dixie is not "some Confederate thing" miss, it is the anthem of our heritage. Its glorious notes harken to a simpler age in the halcyon days of our mighty Nation when Catherine Bach's legs were the most magnificent monument to our superiority over all other peoples.

It was Dixie. How can a Southern woman like you not recognize Dixie?

Those boys didn't mean no harm. They shouldn't have been cancelled.
(Seriously, the show had nothing to do with slavery or plantations and it depicted black people as normal people... cancel culture went too far there. A simple message at the beginning of the show, "While the Confederate flag would not be included if this show was produced today, the show was made in a time where the flag was not thought of as a racist or pro-slavery symbol, and the show does not depict racism". Something like that.

Why go to all that trouble for a piece of crap show like that? Much easier to just cancel the thing for good.

Because cancelling it implies that everyone involved in acting and producing was involved with racism, and they weren't.

No, but they were involved with something much worse- making a really crap TV show.

That's not why they cancelled it though.

As much as I like muscle cars of the era, the General Lee was definitely not the hottest thing on the show.

When I was growing up, I thought Daisy Duke was a brand name for pants like Levi's. Teachers always telling the girls in my class that they weren't allowed to wear Daisy Dukes. Wasn't until the 2005 movie came out that I realized it was a character on a show.

I was raised in the south but not by southern folks. Me and my parents are from Colorado and somehow ended up in FL. I was not raised on "southern pride" or any of that sort of thing and being surrounded by it didn't seem to influence me. It's weird, I know.

Actually I was. Lol. I recognize the name now that it's been mentioned but otherwise, not so much.
Back on subject: this video was difficult to watch. Anyone who thinks the situation over there is not real are just plain stupid. Real people are dying. Real homes and lives are being destroyed.

And if they were American I'd be okay with the rising gas prices.
Since they're not? I really don't.
There are 7 billion people on this planet - don't care if a couple million disappear.

You're okay with mass murder as long as you don't have to pay more for gas.

While on the surface I agree because the planet doesn't need people reproducing like rabbits, I'm not okay with genocide. Those people didn't do a damn thing to deserve what is happening to them. They're not causing this, the system and the politicians are. They can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned- and sooner rather than later.
The people in this video? No. They don't deserve this at all.
The world needs affordable birth control for the people who want that.
It doesn't need genocide.

I didn't realize we were talking about all the people in the world we should be outraged about.
This is worse than being fragged by your own troops........
