What if I said the show was racist because it showed white, country people as wide-eyed, stupid hicks? How ridiculous does that sound?

Pretty ridiculous, considering you’d be comparing making classist jokes with the glorification of a nation founded to maintain the enslavement of black people.

In the 70s in the south people knew what that flag meant, just like they know what it means now.
