Mississippi lawmakers who want to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state's flag appear to have enough votes in the state Legislature to make the change, a senior state lawmaker said Friday.

State Rep. Robert Johnson III, the Democratic leader of the state House of Representatives, told NBC News that all the needed votes “appear to be there."

Dearest Karen,

I don’t have any Black brothers or sisters.

I got news for them.

The NCAA is NEVER going to schedule the Final Four or the National Championship Game in Mississippi. Whether you ditch the flag or not.

You are exactly right!

“In my mind, our flag should bear the Seal of the Great State of Mississippi and state ‘In God We Trust,’

That's not a bad trade ...

[Midwesterner53]

And no one will draw the line and say ENOUGH!

While sad, yours is better than the one at post #7. Cripes!

If it isn’t Red White and Blue, don’t bother. The people in Mississippi will not accept some Soi Boi blue and sad looking tree as their flag. Whoever thought that was a good idea is looking for attention.

[Thank you Nimrata Randhawa.

She doesn’t care about our history because it’s not her history.]

People marry into tribes or are adopted by tribes and it becomes their history. The Gauls weren’t Napoleon’s ancestors. He decided they were, despite being Corsican (i.e. Italian) by birth, and no Frenchman is going to tell you that Napoleon wasn’t French. This isn’t even unique to Napoleon. The Normans who ruled England for centuries decided they were English. No one is going to tell you Richard the Lionheart isn’t English, because he’s a frog who couldn’t even speak English.

The problem with Haley is that she’s decided it’s not her history, even though the white people of South Carolina put her in office. She’s decided she’s too good for them. And that’s what makes her irredeemably rotten as a person.

Because they’re Ole Miss, the puss on the pimple of boar hog’s butt.

[dfwgator]

Ah, you must have gone to State.

The “ole Miss rebels” became the land sharks last year.

Yes

Lol, you forgot the picture of some prostrate white guy kissing the feet of some gloating black man.

[snarkytart]

See it’s just too many Marxists running the show all over the place.
