Was The Dukes of Hazzard Racist??? | Addressing ArtByPacoWay's Claim in TikTok Video 

I just released the bootleg version of this painting (with all the woke crap removed) on my website, only 21 prints available so get it while they're in stock! 🔗 www.chunkeymonkey40.com/product-page/orange-cars-matter-abandoned-general-lee-8x10-photo-limited-edition

If people claim the dukes of Hazzard was racist, they never seen the show

As a white man whose wife is black, I used to drag my sons mom, also black, to Dukes events, went to 3 of Bos Extravaganzas. We took photos with cast members, never had any issues. The Dukes fanbase are some of the most down to earth and friendly ppl period. When someone makes remarks about something theyre ignorant about, just brings out their stupidity.

The modern use of the flag is Rebel Pride Todays world people just want to find a problem just to cause a conflict The Dukes Of Hazzard is one of the best shows ever made

Finally a man with a little common sense may the general live on forever NEVER HIDE YOUR REBEL PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for speaking the straight up truth about the Dukes and about the General Lee. I always defend the show anytime anyone tries to say it's racist. Cause in no way is it racist. It's the most family friendly show out there. People need to get their facts straight. So Amen to everything you said about the show. So glad to be apart of this channel. You are awesome.

100% correct People need to learn what the show was about. I am so sick of people blaming a flag on a car being racist. Thank you Chunky Monkey for this video. All of the cry babies should learn the history of that flag. I will always watch the show and continue to collect pieces for my collection.

As Charlie Daniels said"The confederate battle flag was a sign of defiance,a sign of pride,a declaration of a geografic area that you were proud to be from".

Amen brother if they would just watch the show and be honest they would have to admit it wasn't racists

The Dukes was a family friendly show. I would rather sit with my kids to watch that than most programmes made now. Thank you for your video 👍🏽

I'm a 50 year old Black man and I LOVE the Dukes. Been a fan since I was 5... the very beginning, and there is NO racism in the show. It's just a fun, silly, action packed, family show, and that's all there is to it.

I have a friend who owns a General Lee . And he has had people ask him to remove the Confederate flag only for Can to reply by saying no. 1. It's my car. 2. It's part of the cars character.

Hell no It wasent racist and I am very proud how I was raised wouldn't trade it for all the money or fame in the world !!!!! With love to chunkey monkey and all my other Brothers and Sisters out there ❤

no is not racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1979 i was working at a metal chair factory and one morning a black guy shows up at work with a knife and leather holster on his hip. I said whats that about and he says them Duke boys wears them so he got him one. I had never watch the show till then.

Does anyone else find it funny the guy in the Geneal Lee video is talking about how racist the show is but he draws the car with BLM painted on the car with hypodermic needles lying around as well as what appears to be beer cans and wine bottles on the ground? The show was not racist. They promoted helping and caring for EVEYONE> Regardless of skin color

Dukes of Hazzard. I'm all ears . Love that show. The cast members are awesome group of great people.

Hell that's the way I was raised all of my life to help you're neighbor's and fellow man !

Love it! Keep Waking the Woke brother!

I strongly agree with you!! I watched the show when it was aired originally on network t.v. I see nothing wrong with the show. This country needs to be more like the Duke boys. Yee haw and STAY REBEL!!

Thank You. Awesome job at setting them straight. Love all your videos. God Bless Brother.

First off, let me say James Best was such an amazing actor that scene gets to me every time. Second, the Dukes was about family ,helping one another and doing what's right. I challenge anyone who believes differently to just sit down and watch the show for themselves. Keep it between the ditches, my friends.

I watch your video from start to end and your theory is 100% correct !! The opening song says it ALL !! Thank you for "straighten the curves" on this foolishness !! Please keep up your passion for the D. of H. I had a😢 listening to Rosco asking for help !

CHUNKMUNK YOU ARE MY HERO TODAY!!!!! You have got HUGE BALLS to even attempt this subject. I'm straight but I give you the BIGGEST HUG and FIST BUMP as a brother with a GREAT BIG OL YEEEEEEEEEEEE, HOOOO! (ONE ARMED BANDITS VERSION) RESPECT for this. People that can't differentiate between HISTORICAL FACTS and the concept of being "REBEL" (FIGHTIN THE SYSTEM FOR ALL OF US) are just closed minded, bullies. Forcing their views on everyone because they feel "RIGHTIOUS" and always wanna be on the "popular side". I know how..infuriating these people can be. I've dealt with them all my life and still do. I watched the very first airing of ONE AREMED BANDITS new. I was there when it all started and remain an HONORARY DUKE BOY at heart. Like GEORGE THOROGOOD sang, "I was a REBEL from the day I left school." That's my core. I've FOUGHT THE SYSTEM..Aaaany system..and still hanging in there. I am AN ENEMY OF THE STATE, I call you my brother. I call ANYONE who STANDS AGAINST THE CORRUPT SYSTEM my BROTHERS and SISTERS no matter color or creed. Racist names signify attitudes not "people". I have never considered a black person automatically the "N word" because of color. That's insanely idiotic. But I have used the the word "wig***" to insult a wht idiot being ignorant. I'm TRYING TO MAKE A POINT that anyone that takes insult to those words is ACTUALLY admitting they think they are that bad word. LOL That, doesn't make sense. Why would anyone take ownership over a negative word when they don't have that attitude? I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HISTORY and why people are sensitive to all the hate in the past. But destroying historical statues and hiding heritage and history ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE. It won't change the past. WE CAN ONLY LEARN TO BETTER THE FUTURE by learning about all the bad shit from our past. These "w,o,k,e" attitudes are like OSTRICHES burying their heads in the sand. Pretending like IT ALL never happened. LMAO, WTF?? History HAPPENED. Bad Shit, HAPPENED. Learn from it and don't make the same dumb-ass mistakes in our future of humanity. CHUNKMUNK (that's now my TRADEMARKED buddy name for ya lol), YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!! THE DUKES OF HAZZARD was NEVER!, NEVER! racist. Hell, they even helped their enemies lol. I BELIEVE, It is in OUR POWER..to TAKE BACK "evil symbols" and make them mean something positive. The Nazis took a WORLD WIDE symbol of PROSPERITY and used it for evil. WHY THE F*ck can't we take a "perceived negative",..symbol and MAKE IT POSITIVE??? Why? What's stopping us?, ignorance?? Lol, maaaaan, people need to get their heads out of their asses and join the HUMAN RACE, STOP BICKERING over BS and make life better. The opening credits of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN has a great sentiment. ."WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY" to make HUMANITY and LIFE, "BETTER, FASTER and STRONGER". So?... What's OUR excuse? Cheers CHUNKMUNK! Love ya brother. STAY REBEL!

Yes That Was A Great TV Series

Hi Chunkey, I think the reason people think the rebel flag is racist is because of the boneheads who called themselves skinheads and flew the flag and were/are racist. They became part of the NF (National Front) . I'm not sure if you know about the skinhead subculture but basically skinheads joined the NF and became racist because they were told foreigners were taking over their country (England) and these skins got tired of that so they were being recruited into the NF. So now they claim to be skinheads when all they are are racist pieces of crap.... so these boneheads (that's what skinheads call them) started flying the rebel flag along with their nazi flag (in the South anyways) and then it started becoming a "racist" flag and a symbol of hatred. That's what I know about it becoming something it isn't.... it's a shame because it is not a racist flag... some idiots gave it a bad name because of their stupid racism... also, I agree with what you said about the show being taken off the air because of what it stands for and the elite not wanting people to see the Duke boys and having their own minds and going against the system. We're livin in the new world with old souls (hehe).... Great video! Blessings to you, brother. Stay rebel!

Just stumbled upon your channel and I have to say I couldn’t agree with you more. I have so many fond memories watching this show as a kid with my father, who absolutely loved the show and would not miss an episode. I believe that it had a huge influence in me becoming a car guy today. I loved to see the boys working on the car, racing it around and setting an example by holding good values and being honest and wholesome dudes. I just bought a model of the General Lee recently, and I keep it along with other mementos as a memory of my late father. This show was not racist at all, in fact I think it is the opposite of racist as it has a way of bringing people together through good wholesome values. My parents are from India, I was born in Canada, and my girlfriend is Jamaican and we all have one thing in common, we love watching those good ol’ boys. Thank you so much for this video!!

Great video as always! The show was in no way racist. Funny story, I managed, bartended and waited tables at a bar in Cambridge Massachusetts (big liberal city) 2.5 miles from Harvard university for years. We had karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights and I would sing "Good ol' boy's" almost on a weekly basis and everyone in the dining room would sing along because everybody loved it and nobody ever called me racist for singing it, or said a bad thing about the show.

I was born in '91, i grew up watching the show, it was and still is my all time favorite show. I've never seen it to be racist. I remember when people started stating it was back in the 2010's. Couldn't believe it, but i agree with EVERYTHING you say about it, its not racist, they are caring people, family and friends always first.

I always love rebel flag in my life .. we not against black ppl. We love black ppl!! ❤

I have all 7 Seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard and The Two Reunion moves and never saw a Racist thing in the whole Show, Was a Show about good Family Values...... Show was pulled, but will show the 2005 Movie on TV

I'm black , and I love the dukes of Hazzard it's not racist and never seen a racist thing about the show , love it and the general lee .

I grew up watching the dukes of Hazzard and watching reruns always takes me back to a awesome childhood. Its still my favorite show today. Anyone who claims the car and or show to be racist is nuts and the only thing i can say is the guilty will always accuse and they are the proof

Just to share when 'they' said to take the flag down I bought a giant one. My husband won't let me hang it

I wish John Schneider could raise the money to buy the Dukes of Hazzard IP

You're wonderful about explaining that I couldn't have said it better myself

I'm from Sweden I love the Dukes of Hazzard and the Rebel Flag I have it painted on my car

I remember growing up I wasn't allowed to watch the episodes in season one where they show daisy in her red bikini until I was 12. Because my parents thought it was too inappropriate. Then for my 12 birthday my parents gave me a photo of dasiy in her bikini. Which I still have.

Never anything racist on this show!! This guy is out of his mind!!

Racist? Come on man! Dukes of Hazzard Matters!

Yo what’s up brotha

Loved the Dukes of Hazzard’s as a kid. There is no deeper meaning to the show, it was a weekly action/comedy that we all looked forward to. 😊

I'm from the UK and when I was a kid I used to go to church then get home in time for the Dukes of Hazzard, It was the best thing on TV and I still love it. Who didn't want to be one of the Duke boys when they were a kid.

While most of the 2005 movie car stunts were decent, I wish it had kept the spirit of the show and the characters. Instead they had to poke fun at the flag controversy in the scene in Atlanta. Thank you for your defense of the show.

Keeping the Duke's alive n the general Lee rolling with the rebel flag flying

For me i always bring my replica of the General Lee every Wednesday an Saturday for Church an they never complain even when i go out shopping for groceries or the mall an anywhere i go nobody complain except the Karens an my sister who is half black an half filipino an i was pissed that she wants me to get rid of the car so i deleted her phone number off my phone an took away her aunt privileges away for disrespecting me an my General Lee community

Thanks for sharing Chunky 👍 these people need a History lesson 😊Overland Dave UK 🇬🇧 👍Stay REBEL Brother

Duke of hazard is a awesome tv show it is not racism I love 💗 the show 😊

Thankfully my most favourite TV show since childhood is currently on TV in New Zealand! It is absolutely ridiculous to me that The Dukes of Hazzard is considered racist, when it clearly wasn't! Another old T.V. show currently on T.V. in New Zealand is All in the Family which according to Google, aired on CBS for nine seasons from 1971-1979. I'm unsure if that U.S. T.V. show is also banned there. But in my opinion, it definitely should be due to the continual racist remarks every episode by the character Archie Bunker portrayed by Carroll O'Connor! 😥

*You are right, the Duke’s was Fast and the Furious before Fast and the Furious, it was all about FAMILY, doing the right thing no matter what the risk, even helping your enemy, fighting for good and standing up to corrupt lawmen and politicians*

They always like to paint everything with a broad brush. USA is the only country the show is not in Syndication.,

I am from England, and even here it is the Rebel flag, anyone who says different, well they are stupid and not worth talking to.. I want to see your version of this art, but mixed with your “Orange Cars Matter” on a t-shirt, you would sell soo many… Love the Dukes and love what you are doing.. keep up the good work..

Could not agree with you more then I do. I love this car and hope to one day have a space to restore my very own General Lee. I love the Dukes and would love to have the show back on even in reruns. Being a great great descendant of General Lee ( my real last name is Lee btw ) thank you for sticking up for him. Family tails are He owned 1 slave in his life and when his father in law died General Lee freed the man that very day. Keep doing what you do and remember to keep fightin the system like two modern day Robin Hood yeeee haaawww.

If everyone that watch the show you know that wasn't racist because if they was they would not had a black cop in the show are black people that play in the back ground

Hell yeah brother, I watch the show faithfully and still am a hugh fan. It is a same what these people are turning this country into, atleast there still are people like us that know how things really are.

It genuinely baffles me how people could be so quick to judge the show and the car just because of a flag. It's just so ridiculous

The sad thing is we have to validate this ridiculous question with a response.

Hey Sugar ! I couldn't have said it better myself. Just subscribed. I'm probably not wrong saying I was the FIRST 01 "Dukes" fan in Montreal, back in the day. Saw them all since they originally aired 1979. I little bitty mistake though.... Vance and Coy came in Sept. 1981 till the boys' return in winter 1982. Thank heaven!! lol Sorry for Coy & Vance fans out there, no offense. Keep on keeping on, sugar. 😘 Syl. (Daisy is my nickname)

My family is from old Georgia.we are what we are God , family and country

Not only was the show NOT racist, it was also extremely inclusive and progressive for all races and women too. The people that say otherwise have never watched the show. So disappointing to watch the Duke legacy drug thru the mud like this. This video definitely needed to be made thank you!

What if Good Times showed a family car with African murals painted on it ?

Never knew that story about John. That’s so cool of him

The "Stars and Bars" is the battle flag for The State of Tennessee, NOT the flag of The Confederate States of America.

the democrat party opposed the abolition of slavery...why don't they get rid of their logo? I personally find it very off-putting to look at it.

The show wasn't racist at all. It was about accepting everyone

That picture IS a shame and racist in and of itself and offensive but NOT because of the car or flag. Like John said if there was ever a more non-racist show, it was Dukes. They helped everybody regardless of color as a lot of southern folk do

CM40 for the WIN!!! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼

8:50 LOL! It's Sad That People Think That Buts It's True. 😂😂😂😂 Lol Chunkeymonkey You Got Me Laughing! 😂

How is a car racist???? Geez. Leave the general lee alone. Damn. I always knew of it as the rebel flag until I learned about the Civil War. Growing up that flag was just everywhere but it was just rebel,that was it.

I'd like to Travis Tritt so I don't want to said.The rich man's dancing while I was poor man are paying the band

Hello from the land of Gaylord Duke and Robin Hood! Anyone who thinks the Dukes was racist is a total asshole! A great family show, and in Uncle Jesse had a character that was someone who had principles that are sadly lacking today.

I mean the car is very iconic and people are still talking about the controversy to this day wow hack they even have a game of it. And am black too so i really don't have anything wrong with it the show is amazing and it makes me happy to see the cool car!

I watched that show as a child and as an adult. I never felt that this show is racist. And keep in mind I’m a black woman. It was a family show. I wish the woke people would stay sleep. 😂😂

When i was a kid i didn’t know anything about that flag. As far as i was concerned it was just a decoration on the car and all I watched the show for was the car action. I still as an adult watch movies and tv shows for the car action. As an adult I couldn’t care less about the flag, to me its still just a decoration on the car.

I'm Black and remember watching the show with my grandmother and I loved it!!! I was such a fan when I was young that my mom bought me the record of the theme song by Waylon Jennings which I still have!! I also still have my metal lunchbox!! I still watch it to this day !! I used to hate when it went off every Friday night I think and then Falcon Crest came on!! Those were the days!! One more thing I have a cousin and his nickname is Cooter from the show!!

As a punk rocker......I love this video. I'm with you dude

If it was, they wouldn't have had black actors on it

Bravo bravo!!!!

Great video I love this! Thank you! I’m glad my pictures could be used

Amen brother!! You're totally absolutely right!!

Your absolutely right bro, nothing wrong with the show,or the flag!!!

Hell yeah this been going on to damn long best show on tv i watch the show my kids watch the show and my grandkids watch the show there nothing racist about the show it is a family show keep up the good work rebel pride

I also am a huge fan of The Dukes of Hazzard show. Grew up watching it here in Australia back in the 1980's and into the 1990's. It wasn't racist. Oh yeah who could forget how gorgeous Daisy Duke is. Those short shorts and hot pants. But down at heart I'm a car guy and into muscle car's. But only classic muscle car's not newer cars. It was about the car and the jumps and the rebel attitude. It taught good values, family values. The Dukes of Hazzard has been taken off air here in Australia too. When I was a kid growing up here in Melbourne Australia , the Australian kids were racist to me and I'm white European ancestry originally from Italy. Get that man. Nowadays we got a damn mess here in Australia. The Australian government keeps bringing more immigrants here supposedly to avoid a recession. A bit like the global financial crisis of a few years ago. But it's out of control. We have a housing crisis here in Australia. And to continue bringing more people causes more problems. The government is saying around 700,000 new immigrants every year. In Melbourne Victoria Australia even a gainfully employed person has really bad trouble trying to get accommodation. Be it a rental or buying a house. It's almost impossible. Population is outstripping the supply of new housing. And to make matters worse building supplies are almost impossible to source in Australia. Lots of builders have gone bankrupt.meanwhile our corrupted Australian government is selling our building supplies to China. Times were definitely better 20-30 years ago than now. And the 1970's to 1980's were AWESOMENESS.and so forth today the world sucks. The Dukes of Hazzard is an AWESOME show keep speaking the good truth ChunkeyMonkey40 you are a real Man 💪👌👍 and you have a subscription from me 👍

The Dukes are on Prime video. You have to buy the episodes probably because they know people will pay for them. Robert E Lee inherited slaves but freed them once the plantation they came with was out of debt. If the war was over the institution of slavery, why did 4 states where slavery was legal remain in the union?

I'm Asian who loves general lee!!! N I love south!!! There's nothing offended me!!! Love America 🇺🇸

Man I grew up with the Duke's of Hazzard my mom used to call me and my brother in the house when it came on😅 I bought all the DVDs I'm black from Houston Texas still my favorite show my favorite episode is Duke vs Duke

Orange WHITE & Blue😢

This is what I commented on his tik tok “I feel like placing stolen cars in inner city alleys which are predominately populated by African Americans implying African american stole the car and abandoned it is more racist than a flag on a car” sounds like his true colors shined through

When I get a real general lee car . It's going to be re named general grant and it will have the American flag on top of the car . 🇺🇸

Hell yeah dude, you hit the nail right on the head!

Been waiting for this.

the best show ever we need more like it good family viewing and also humor oh yes the best car chases🏁

The show was very cool and I loved it as a kid. Who was Robert E. Lee and what did he do?

Hey my name is Mike I loved the dukes of Hazzard and that the Confederate flag is like a American flag we wave it for our pride I am a Duke fan and wanted share how I feel god bless 😊

🔥🔥 ..stay Rebel.🔥🔥

100% Agree with everything you Derek, The Dukes was never racist.

why because the general lee was a black car turned orange episode # 2 🤷‍♂️🤪🤔🤷‍♂️👍

Love the videos keep up the awesome work!

General lee my dream car
