JACKSON, Miss. (AP) With a stroke of the governors pen, Mississippi is retiring the last state flag in the U.S. with the Confederate battle emblem a symbol thats widely condemned as racist.
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves on Tuesday signed the historic bill that takes the 126-year-old state flag out of law, immediately removing official status for the banner that has been a source of division for generations.

Ass hole
Next, get rid of the Ole Miss Rebels.
That was easy. Now everyone can go home, get a job and go to work.
Next, get rid of the Ole Miss Rebels.
The moment a blue chip recruit objects to Rebel name, they will become the Ole Miss Magnolias.
They will. The new flag will be put up to a vote. HOWEVER, if it’s rejected they will keep designing new flags until voters approve one. You’re not allowed to vote on keeping the old flag.
Now that the “EVIL Confederate Battle Flag” is gone the state of Mississippi will now become the most stable and every one richer than Midas, no longer at the bottom of every list.
No longer will New Mexico and Arkan-saw have as their Unofficial State mottoes...”Thank Heavens for Mississippi!” as Mississippi kept those two states from the bottom.
10 to 1 nothing will change, and the protestors will go on to till at new windmills.

The protestors did not even have time to drive to Jackson.
The Mississippi Flag deal was done in the legislature in 12 hours.
Football is King.
“Racism should have been over January 20, 2009.”
Exactly. But, you can NEVER appease these Leftists. Wherever ‘We The People’ HAVE given them an INCH, they’ve DEMANDED miles and miles and miles!
I don’t negotiate with Terrorists. Wish Mother Government felt the same way. :(
*SPIT*
P.S. We will NEVER have a ‘black’ President again...unless s/he is a Conservative. And I don’t see that happening either.
From King Cotton to King Football
As I have said before.
Mississippi is controlled by 17 year old football players in Florida and Texas.
Just burn everything down. Burn every state’s flag. Because isn’t everything rayciss?
That was fast.
How’s Obamacare repeal coming along? Where there is a will...
The Republic dies, not with a bang but a whimper.
Fascinating how fast government can actually work when they want to.
And yay. Racism is over.
They should replace it with a picture of George Floyd holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach! What a great guy!!
Sticks and stones may break my bones but flags will never hurt me.
And the commie revolution continues...
So! What will replace the Confederate emblem. How about a single white star on a blue background.
Flag with Robert E Lee on it!
“They should replace it with a picture of George Floyd holding a gun to a pregnant womans stomach! What a great guy!!”
That is, SAINT George Floyd the Great, sir.
