NYPD bans officer from driving ‘Dukes of Hazard’s’ General Lee car to work because it’s ‘racist’
BPR Bizpac Review ^ | April 18th, 2015 | Carmine Sabia

A New York City police officer’s car has prompted cries of racism.

When the unidentified officer drove to work in a replica of “The General Lee” from the 1980s hit CBS show “The Dukes of Hazzard,” a resident called the local CBS affiliate to complain.

The problem? The car’s roof is adorned with a Confederate flag.

Although this is before the incident, I figure I'd post this to show how more absurd this has become.

It used to be a hit program on CBS (aka “the Tiffany Network”).

Now it’s pure racism, and intolerable.

I don’t care about the Confederacy. In my historical study, including its Constitution, it was almost entirely about slavery, not states’ rights.

However, I’m very, very tempted to paint a giant battle flag on my car just to piss these jerks off.

Respect history. You don’t have to like it, but it exists.

Some in NYC consider the police to be a racist. Does that mean they should park all their cars?

Die-cast Ertl copy of the General Lee, circa 1981.

I like to collect die-cast cars, I remember getting "The General Lee" back in 1981.

You'd better double-check that. I just logged into my account and I'm finding Rebel flags and all manner of other items waiting to be sold. And from the looks of it, it's being snatched up like hotcakes.

Mmmmmmmmm, there’s a headline on the right under breaking news that said “EBAY bans sales of confederate flags.”

You're thinking of Amazon, owned by that uber-rich tech p*ssy Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington ComPost. (Go figure, eh?) They pulled all of their sales links for Confederate memorabilia. So much the better for eBay - they'll take on the new online retailers.

Although Amazon joined the growing list of companies that quit selling the battle flag, you can still purchase the Mississippi flag.LOL
