Sometimes it seems like “The Dukes of Hazzard” is the main fallback reason in support of displaying the Confederate flag. “But, I was a kid and I loved Dukes of Hazzard!” Man, I’m sorry about that, but we’re all 30 years older now and you can keep your childhood toys, but otherwise… you just might have to move on.
