Mississippi’s flag
The SEC said they won’t have major events in Mississippi until they change their flag, that’s cool with me... where in the hell would they have it?

Major events include regional and super regionals. In baseball alone this has an economic impact in the millions.
It's time to change the flag

And not because of the loss of revenue from sporting events but because it's the right thing to do

I think it should be voted on. Just like the last few times. Let the people deiced. I dont think anyone should force us to change anything. Fuck caving in to pressure from outside even if it is a racist symbol let us choose to change it and not be forced to. I know I would feel much better about it if its changed because Mississippians voted to change it.

Erasing history is what it is! Whats the goal or end point?
The Southern flags have nothing to do with prejudice! Thats what the new agenda has pushed!
I love America and salute the American flag! But i only kneel to the Southern battle flag!

Redesigning the state flag is NOT at all erasing history. The history that surrounds the confederate battle flag cannot and should not be “erased”. The flag itself represents a military force which fought for an extinct nation which supported an evil institution which profited from the enslavement of others. It was the banner for the Jim Crow south (hence its additon to the state flag) and still the banner for the klan and other groups that espouse hateful ideologies (front and center for klan marches in Biloxi not to mention Charlottesville, Branson, and Lansing Michigan of all places recently). Mississipians are black, white, asian, hispanic, and so on. The MS state flag does not represent ALL Mississippians in its current guise. It DOES represent a hateful bygone era we’re still struggling to shrug off. Time brings change whether welcome or not and its time for Mississippi to reflect the good change in itself. The south’s rich history need not be represented by a flag that represents a treasonous, extinct nation which clung to slavery and spilled its own blood to keep it. As for the state flag I think a blue field with a large magnolia in the center would be classy and simple (maybe a scroll with the founding date below it).

Im sorry you believe your post. The southern flags have nothing to do with race! Please read the newspapers of the 1850's thru the civil war era and educate yourself on the truth! The civil war was never about slavery! Both north and south had them. It was about the over reach of govt. elitism and states rights. Sound familiar? Were still having the same problems today!

You are absolutely correct, WD, the American Civil War was fought over the issue of state’s rights... Interestingly, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant were all slave owners... I guess we just have to demolish Washington D.C.
Most recently, the protesters were trying to tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln... whatever... he was a Republican, ironically

The fledgling USA had just overthrown a king less than 100 years before, they were and we still are trying to find our way ... IMO
