For the many political and social activists inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, erasing history is a perfectly acceptable remedy to the many systems of oppression in the institutions of America.

First and foremost, movies and television series that don’t fit a very specific social justice viewpoint must be expunged.

“Gone with the Wind” has been removed from HBO’s streaming service. The shows “Cops” and “Live PD” have both been canceled by their respective networks. Now, Amazon may soon follow suit by removing the beloved ’80s action-comedy series “The Dukes of Hazzard” from its streaming service.

Their car horn played Dixy, besides. But they had high-speed chases between the Dukes and ridiculously inept police officers, and the Dukes always won. Doesn’t that count for something?

The commie left is way overplaying their hand in alienating the south. Keep it up and it’ll be the “solid south” come election time.

O yes, I forgot, was it Stalin who said, “It doesn’t matter how they vote, what matters is who counts the votes.” Now, all they’ve got to do is just get the south to go along with “vote by mail” and they’ve got it in the bag.

Wonder how the time period 1861-1865 will be taught. Lots of pictures in history books with the Confederate Flag.

I wasn’t considering my premium viewing lineup and hadn’t planned on adding Amazon anyway, so I am REALLY not planning to add it now.

We need to melt a lot more snowflakes in boardrooms and locker rooms across this country

People have aright to be proud of their region.

Most folks are proud of their area.

That flag is no symbol of the desire to return to the bad
events of the past. It’s simply a flag that Southerners
fly as a symbol of pride.

BLM wants to turn this into Northern Ireland, where flags
are a reason to shoot each other.

I put up with plenty when Obama was president. Don’t leture
me on the idea you are the only ones who have to put up with
“S”.

The flag is fine by me.

Take that chip off your shoulder and rejoin the peaceful
members of the human race.

There needs to be more channels where the left does not, and cannot, control what is on them.

First they came for the Dukes of Hazzard, and I wondered, who watches the Dukes of Hazzard?

Granny in the Beverly hillbillies seems proud of her confederate gray, will this satirical show also be banned?

Silly, the corporate globalists on the recorded history and contracts on such programming.

There is coming a day when China will own Disney or MGM and just burn and destroy the negatives of what they don’t care to promote.

And if that’s deems extreme ask universal what they did to the studio tapes of Buddy Holly and chess records and tens of thousands of other famous recordings 15 years ago and denied doing. All gone oh you can get a copy off the record that came out but the studio tapes were destroyed maliciously.

I have a pretty good collection of DVDs, and the wife and I are now going to watch the most politically incorrect series we can find as our act of protest against the lefty censors.

I have decided on Sanford and Son.

Get it before they ban it!
