Martin Luther King Jr would have approved of the confederate flag?

Well, "Cooter" says so...

Former 'Dukes Of Hazzard' Star: MLK Would Have Approved Of Confederate Flag License Plates

"Dukes of Hazzard" star and former Rep. Ben Jones (D-GA) said on Monday during an appearance on MSNBC that Confederate flag license plates are part of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for America.

Appearing on "Live with Thomas Roberts," Jones discussed a case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the constitutionality of a Texas ban on the use of Confederate flag license plates was being argued.

Jones, who played the role of Cooter on "Dukes of Hazzard," serves as the chief of heritage operations for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the group that brought the case and which has argued the Texas ban violates the First Amendment.
