It’s been a long time since I watched it as well, so I might mis-remember, but those are the things that stand out in hindsight. Again, I’m not condemning the show. But I think it makes sense to place it in it’s cultural context, and the frankly naive use of the Confederate battle flag was part of a culture that didn’t want to face the less savory aspects of its history. Even, and arguably especially, with the things we appreciate, there’s value in appreciating with a critical eye.
