Listen to the comments from the two Black female students. One of the Black female student actually said it was heritage not hate.:smh: I guess she believe slavery never occurred.

I think her date reported her when he saw her in that hideous dress. I mean, I would be hiding behind the bleachers in my date had a dress made like that for prom. :lol: Then again, I would just get sick in the limo on my way over....

You could take the flag off that dress and that ugly shit would still be offensive.

That's what I'm sayin!

What about them? The Army clearly stated swastikas could not be displayed well before the issue of the rebel flag was addressed. BTW, soldiers displayed pics of Osama Bin-Laden and Sadaam Hussien... albeit those had "crosshairs" painted on the heads.

Hell my dad brought a picture of Ho Chi Min and I have to this day. It was my father's reminder to defend his own..

It's never too late Mississippians. Make them racist sons-of-beechwood take that flag down.

People simply didn't vote along racial lines with that flag. I saw the NAACP's GOTV plan up close and personal, and even saw how they were planning to make it a national issue by showing that the votes were strictly race related...but in fact they were not. Here are the election results for the flag...http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=28&year=2001&f=0&off=50&elect=7

They even did a break down by voting precint and couldn't attribute it to race alone. As I stated earlier the largest Republican voting precinct in the whole state voted in favor of the new flag and some black and Choctaw voting precincts voted to keep the old flag. And again as I have stated several times....Ronnie Musgrove could have saved the taxpayers millions of dollars had he just made the decision himself in lieu of having a special election which basically proved race really wasn't the issue with the flag.

The State of Louisiana is not that much different, because a majority white district here in Louisiana elected David Duke to the Louisiana House of Representative, but it seems to me that some Blacks in Mississippi don't completely understand why the State of Mississippi changed it's flag after the Civil War. Former Confederate States of America (CSA) adopted Confederate names, symbols, and flags to protest against the United States for making them abolish slavery. Before the Civil War, Mississippi's official flag was the Sovereign Republic of Mississippi:

It's illegal in Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi to burn and desecrate the Confederate flag, which IMO is crazy to me since there's no such thing today known as the Confederate States of America, which at one time was an enemy of the United States of America. However, laws banning the desecration of any flag, even if technically remaining in effect, were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and are not enforceable.

That's the part that gets me. Some people try to claim "heritage", but there is not a person alive today that actually lived in the Confederate States of America.

Some Southerners don't seem to realize that the Confederate flag is often used as a symbol of racism and hatred both in the South and elsewhere. Back home, if you saw a Confederate flag somewhere it was in your best interest to go in the opposite direction. Nine times out of ten, the person or persons with the flag or paraphernalia were not from the South and weren't claiming heritage or roots.

I often tell the story about the three weeks that I attended Robert E. Lee High School in Baton Rouge back when they were still the Rebels. Even though the school had become mostly Black, the White kids still waved the Confederate flag at pep rallies and their dance team was called the Confederettes. I asked one Black girl on the Confederettes if the name bothered her. She said that it didn't. I had to fight the urge to call her a stupid azz bytch, because that's exactly what she was for being a proud Confederette.

Ignorance is bliss.

 

[MetroPhillyTiger]

I can remember when Black people were the only ones patonizing the Robert E. Lee Movie theater on Plank Road before it closed.

Robert E. Lee High School in Baton Rouge is not along. I'm sure CEE DOG and others from Alabama are familiar with these two schools from Alabama:

:lol: I'd say that the powers that be still exercise their control by not letting the school's name be changed...I'm assuming that someone has tried to change the name tho.

That is funny as hell to see two black high school marching bands from schools that are name after probably the top two key figures of the Confederacy. If that's not an oxymoron then I don't know what is.

So is the American flag if you put it in perspective truthfully. The same things done to black people under one was done under the other.

I think you'd have to by go the era of the US. The US eventually stopped condoning slavery whereas the CSA wrote into their constitution that "*****s" would be nothing more than property. So, the CSA institutionalized slavery of one type of people...Africans Americans.

Article I Section 9(4)
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in ***** slaves shall be passed.[35]

...and spread slavery

Article IV Section 3(3)
The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several states; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form states to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory, the institution of ***** slavery as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress, and by the territorial government: and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories, shall have the right to take to such territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the states or territories of the Confederate states.[37]

As far as heritage goes...how can a country (the CSA) that only lasted 4 years have any kind of heritage? However, they did invoke God in their preamble.

 

[MetroPhillyTiger]

Yes the flag is a symbol of racism and I don't know how a person in Mississippi live in Mississippi since I don't live there, but maybe a person from Mississippi on this board can answer that question for you.

It's really simple to get rid of that flag. All black folks in MS would have to say is they won't send their kids to Ole Miss and MSU (to play football and basketball) anymore. Phil Bryant would be climbing the Capitol bldg himself to take it down.

 

[jsupop33]

Not send their black kids to Ole Miss, hell, they might lift the flag higher.

There are about four reasons black people send their kids to Ole Miss

1. To play sports
2. Law School
3. They are rich
4. They are republican.

Dude, wtf does their being republican have to do with it. I know a lot of folks that sent their kids to Ole Miss and they are liberal as hell. I think you just wanted to find an excuse to say that. lol

Lol Mak.... Man, Ole Miss has more than it's fair share of Nic Lott's running around. Every influential black republican that I have met in Mississippi went to Ole Miss.

Side note: Ole Miss got some fine AKA's.

And they are not close to being rich either.

Man, I been knowing Nic for years, aside from him being the first black student body pres. at Ole Miss, Nic is a lot more gangsta than people think. lol Yeah, they do have some fine AKA's too. But think about all them weed smoking thugs they got on campus, plus the bruhs (both yours and mine) I hardly call them even remotely conservative, much less Republicans.
