Goes to show the GOP WILL DO NOTHING TO SAVE YOUR HERITAGE!
Voting for the Republicans isn’t going to save your monuments, your flags, or anything!
The South shall rise again!...looking like the East Coast. Sad and tragic.
One of the most interesting and authentic places in the U.S. is slowly becoming a cookie-cutter landscape of political correctness.
One day when that final nail in the coffin is complete on Mississippi, the nation will be lost. Originality and individuality, which thrive in the air there, will have been snuffed out. And only the bland remains of a stifled people will exist.
We need many prayers for our country.
“FL and AL state flags contain the St. Andrews cross of the Confederacy.”
That’s not true; the Saltire of Burgundy was the flag of Spain when those states belonged to the Spanish Empire, and that is why it is on the flag. The same flag (white field with red “X”) is also called the St. Patrick’s Cross, and was added to the Union Jack when Ireland was incorporated into the United Kingdom. Before that, the Union Jack only had the red cross (the cross of St. George, for England) transposed on the Scottish flag (the blue field with white X - St. Andrew’s cross) - there was no red X in the Union Jack until Ireland was added (just a plain white one from Scotland).
My state of NJ, in the meantime, has the same flag it flew when it WAS a slave state (no Confederate symbols).
For the love of God please don’t replace it with a boring ass state seal flag, we only have 30 or so of those.
The new law mandates that “In God we Trust” appears on the flag, with a few exceptions, text looks bad on flags.
The “Stennis Flag” is pretty good looking.
If they wanted to change the flag, they should’ve put it to a vote of the people. They didn’t like the last vote because the people of MS said NO. Remarkable how the elites can mobilize on issues of interest specifically to them, but the rest of us can eff off on real issues or if they don’t like how we voted. A real Governor would’ve said, “The people already spoke on the issue.” If you don’t like the flag, don’t fly it.
Changing the flag and destroying statues and everything else won’t help the Black community one iota. Their own problems will have to be self-fixed, beginning with the family and to stop voting for the party that keeps them down and perpetually aggrieved.
Economic boycotts would have been likely if they didn’t, that’s the reason.
