Pettus used to be a name to be proud of in Mississippi.

Sen. Briggs Hopson declared: “Today, you — Mississippi — have a date with destiny.”

WHAT destiny?

“Ole Miss isn’t what it used to be in years past.”

That was back when they were the “Ole Miss Rebels” and possessed great coaches.

What are they now, the Teddy Bears?

“The anthropomorphic black bear replaced Colonel Reb as the official mascot in 2010. On October 6, 2017, Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter announced that the new university mascot would be the Landshark...”

The flag of the United States of America flew above slave states for far more years than the confederate flag.

Both are just history not to be approved nor desecrated in relationship to slavery a most evil institution.

At least Faith Hill can sleep well tonight.

A few days ago, she demanded that the flag be changed.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw: Two libtards with average voices and huge egos.

Well, finally, the nation can get back to normal prosperity and security and look to a more glorious future because of this one action by the state of Mississippi. That is a game changer.

Right! But it's probably time to leave the petty symbolism aside and get to the heart of the issue; rename the south.

Even south Detroit is racist! We need to make it the n-word of geography! There's a traffic backup on BLM-bound I-95 in Blmcarolina. Roald Amundsen was the first person to visit the Blm pole.

Suicidal stupidity will be the end of us all

Guess that means you can't play Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" anymore.

About to?

I’m from Jackson. It’s a sad sight to see these days. When I was in high school and college, I used to see Farrakhanites handing out materials to black individuals only. Their goal was to take over, and they did. White folks ceded land easily. I moved away when I married. I don’t know of any of my childhood friends who live there now. It’s too dangerous. Well, that’s not true. I know some folks who live in country club areas. Everybody else moved out of the city. Is it racism to want to stay alive?

Yep, it is never enough. The Left cannot stop until their rampage terminates in gulags.

I’m an immigrant to the south, and I’m appalled at the casual erasing of its history. The Civil War confederate private didn’t fight to defend slavery; he fought to defend his home.

Slavery existed far longer under the Stars and Stripes than under the Confederate Battle Flag. The radicals won’t be happy until Old Glory is replaced with a combination rainbow/BLM flag.

This Leftist barbarism will not end well.
