This is certain to usher in an era of universal peace and love in America.

[Russ]

Replacing it with a white flag?

[Hadean]

Because appeasing the mob always works... /s

[moovova]

This is one of the most conservative states in the USA. Sad.

[piroque]

Under the terms of the bill, the commission would recommend a new flag design by mid-September, with Mississippi voters okaying or vetoing the design on Nov. 3, the publication reported.

This was voted on by the people once before and it was voted down with about two to one margin .So if they don't get the vote they want this time they'll be back until they do ?

[jeffersondem]

“Mississippi’s state House of Representative on Sunday passed a bill to remove the Confederate flag from the state flag, with the Senate expected to pass the measure later today.”

And this, on a Sunday. There was a time not long ago that a state politician would not be caught fishing on a Sunday. Now, Sunday is just another day to do the work of Cesar.

Apparently George Soros and his hirelings called up members of the legislature and told them to get their ass up to the Capitol and vote overturn the previous vote of the electorate. Like, right now.

I have doubted polls showing weak public support for President Trump. Now, I'm not so sure.

When this many people in Mississippi, of all places, are scared to offend the over dogs, how many people are going to take a risk to buck the system in November?

[Meatspace]

“The lower chamber voted 91-23 to remove the symbol from the flag...”

At least it was a close vote.

[chuckee]

The sad thing is after all this drama and virtue signaling with removing flags, changing supposedly offensive words, yanking down statues, taking over city blocks, painting BLM on streets, renaming facilities,noose hoaxes,reparations demands,and defunding police, not one thing will have changed when it comes to black crime, black poverty, black illegitimacy, simply because we are too cowardly to man up and address the real causes that lay, not outside, but within the black community, to wit, illegitimate children,no fathers in the home, little value for education, etc.

[aquila48]

You watch, now blacks will suddenly be able to perform at the same level as whites and asians.

[plain talk]

If their flag was so bad and so racist ... the obvious question is how could they allow it to fly over their state for over hundred years? It would seem the mob would ask that and want more.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

The left can fly the anarchist Antifa flag with impunity.

They can fly the marxist BLM flag without criticism.

They can fly the rainbow flag in the face of children and people of faith.

They burn the American flag.

But the right dare not fly a confederate flag or else they’ll be called racist.

It’s especially disheartening when our elected leaders support the left’s agenda.

[Spok]

So the city of Vicksburg has not celebrated the Fourth of July since it was captured by General Grant. Will it be racist if they don’t celebrate it now?

[ncalburt]

Rhino Haley Barber was behind this thing .
His flunky reps and Gov just followed his orders .

[mass55th]

Put a unicorn in its place. Fantasy f’ing la la land. When will they come for Jeff Davis’s home Beauvoir, and his President Library?

[napscoordinator]

Last state. We had about ten and they all changed them.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Mississippi House passes bill to take Confederate symbol off state flag.

---

Good. We have now fixed all our racial problems.

[Yosemitest]

As usual, the LAME STREAM MEDIA got it WRONG !

[Bringbackthedraft]

Will the south secede again? Or will we settle for the US of Bosnization? Its coming, slowly, but it may gain speed.

[suthener]

Southern heritage is being erased. The rest of the county’s heritage will not be far behind.

[Carry me back]

The voters get another knife in the back from the Republicans.

[PAR35]

Being pushed by the football coaches at Ole Miss and Mississippi State. They think it hurts their recruiting of athletes.
