I'm not sure that the show is being removed because it's an attempt to call anyone that watches it a racist. There are many shows that end up getting cancelled, removed, suspended, etc., because of the values that they come to represent. For example, Honey Boo Boo was removed, not because anybody who watched it was a child molester, but because of what it came to represent. Of course, I think that anyone who wanted to continue watching and got upset about it probably has questionable values.
The removal of DoH, I think, has more to do with what the "southern lifestyle" has come to represent. Folks who hold on to these old-timey ideals really haven't done enough to separate themselves from slavery and racism, and our modern world is finally saying that we don't accept that anymore!

but the Southern Lifestyle is not racist only certain people are.
So it is an error to judge all by the acts of a few.

The Dukes usually fell in with my daily line up of Good Times and The Jeffersons.
I never even thought about their race.

I would hope you were just joking with that statement. I believe that you are more intelligent than to post a statement like that seriously,
