Meme sort of speaks for itself but is this unfair practice by the television station.

Is this just an example of it being Ok for non-whites to use racial slurs?

or

Is this just an example of political correctness gone crazy?

Sorry just realized there is a third options I should post in fairness.

Are Bo, Luke, Jessie, and Daisy just the biggest racist to ever appear on TV and until last month we were just to ignorant to see it?

I grew up watching both of these shows, there was never any thought that either program had racist ideologies.

Didn't you know that it is only racism when it's white people doing it? If it's anybody else of any different ethnicity, it's not racism because only white people are capable of racism!

(That was sarcasm everybody!)

The word honkey is not drenched in hundreds of years of blood, and the oppression, rape, and murder of millions of american citizens. I liked both shows.

The Jefferson was the first show that you shown an African-American as an successful businessman. Instead of someone living in the projects, or worked as a janitor. The Dukes of Hazzard being cancelled has nothing to do with political correctness but with rating. It was the eighties, there was no political correctness.

One-sided political correctness is always a gnat in your ear. You can't get rid of it regardless how many swipes you make at it. Your illustration is from an earlier time, yet the two-faced example is still with us today. I laugh at the word "honky" because it's silly, even the word "cracker" is humorous and it doesn't bother me. But you better not utter the "N" at all costs.
