      I saw a couple episodes when I was a very small child and I don’t remember anything racist. They were just like running from the cops and solving crimes sometimes right?

        It had the southern pride propaganda of the car being named after a confederate general and the flag plus the whole rebellious thing

        But yeah, it was basically Robin Hood set in the south and the characters themselves were not written to be racists.

        Pretty much. The only ‘racist’ bit was having the confederate flag on the roof.

          I’m pretty sure that there was at least one episode with a “bad guy” that was black, but I don’t think race had anything to do with it. There weren’t too many positive race stories from that show though.
