Seriously, dont these people have anything better to do?
Curley Clark, the head of the Jackson County Mississippi NAACP is now setting his sights on the Mississippi State Flag and states that he wants to see it changed to something less offensive. Clark who believes that Mississippi should adopt a new flag that can be embraced by all Mississippians is now calling for the national NAACPs help in shaming the state into changing their current flag.
It is time to have the divisive Confederate symbol re-moved from our state flag and replaced with a symbol that all Mississippians can embrace, Clark stated.
Via WISTV
On Saturday, Clark will be in Philadelphia at the NAACP National Convention. During that meeting, hell request the NAACPs assistance to work with Mississippi lawmakers on a plan to remove the confederate battle symbol from the state flag
Mississippis two U.S. Senators have both said in recent weeks they believe its time for Mississippi to approve a new flag.
Though many are quick to jump on the P.C. bandwagon nowadays, one individual standing in the state flags corner is Rep. Steven Palazzo.
Theyve tried to take our guns. Theyve tried to take our flag. Theyre trying to take our freedom.We will not let them. We will fight. And we will win.
This is not the first time Palazzo has stood up for the state flag, in June he stated the following:
The people of Mississippi, not outsiders, should continue to be able to choose for themselves the flag that flies over the State of Mississippi. I believe our state is more than capable of handling this issue with dignity and respect.
I know what many of you are thinking, the Left will not stop until the only flag we fly in America is the white flag, however, that is where you are wrong
The white flag may too be seen as offensive because it lacks racial diversity.
Thoughts?

Celebrating the Confederate flag and the Confederacy is no different than do so with the Nazi flag. The Confederate Flag has as much to do with the murder of those nine people as the gun. And as much to do with slavery as a box of Jell-o.
As to the Nazi flag, well, that's just a vile straw man.

If you notice, the slave route was to the NORTH EAST coast of the US, not 'the SOUTH'.

After the leftist agitators rid the country of the battle flag, the American flag will be left. To them, it too is a symbol of slavery, racism, imperialism, colonialism, and hate. They're already advancing that one. Give an inch and next thing you know a mile is gone.

Get serious and stop hyperventilating. Celebrating the Confederate flag and the Confederacy is no different than do so with the Nazi flag.WRONG, you degenerate piece of filth.
As a 'damn Yankee' -- that is, a Northerner who came to the South and didn't leave -- the Confederate Flag has never really held meaning for me. I understood that for most who displayed it, it meant a reverence for the heritage of the South and expressed the rebellious spirit I so often find, and admire, here.
Then the events of the shooting in South Carolina played out. Dylann Root was found to have embraced that flag, but for different and objectionable reasons of true racism.
The hysteria that followed was terrifying to watch. Both Democrats and Republicans, media and corporations, all jumped aboard a fevered bandwagon that cast aside rationality for a false emotional response. Apple corporation, for example, banned all Civil War games in their app store. Utterly absurd.
The media breathlessly reported every banning, discontinuation, removal from state grounds, and whipped the masses up as well as they could.
The masses were unresponsive. I saw no turning of opinion, and there was no grassroots groundswell for this Southern cultural cleansing, this was a manufactured hysteria and the classic definition of overreaction, but it was at the organizational level. That, my friends, is censorship.
So the Confederate Flag now has a new meaning for this New York-born Southerner:
- It means a resistance to the tyranny of political correctness.
- It means hostility to censorship.
- It means, opposition to mindless hysteria.
- It means, pure antipathy nay, hatred! of the media for fanning the flames of hysteria and aggravating the uproar.
- It means great objection to being backstabbed by the party the Republicans that tries to convince me that they are my home.
- Finally, it means I shall never surrender.
Yer either a n00b disruptor or a RINO GOPe scum.

There was someone from the SC NAACP on WISTV one morning last week who actually said that battle flag has oppressed people and made them realize they didn’t have opportunities. At that point I had to turn the channel and I haven’t watched that station since. My point is the NAACP will do everything to divert attention from the real problems facing the “African American” people.

My phrase of the year is GFYS [geefus].
Its short for “Go F-— YourSelf[ves].”
I have gotten to use it very often this year with various dumbles idiots and leftist fools and fascists.
This is another time to use it.

Perhaps you need a different map.

Palazzo is an opportunitist politician. I voted for him in order to get rid of the other criminal holding that seat, Gene Taylor. I have voted against him ever since.
Nothing will change for the black people by the removal of this flag, although nothing good can come from flying the flag of a defeated democrat ideology. Should have gone 150 years ago.

And in truth, I’m sure it’s only a vague representation of the actual route.
What is more accurate, and of more importance, is that the majority of ‘slaves’ went to other nations. Especially South America.
