People wanting this flag...do you no realize that this is a more Confederate Flag than the current one. This flag was the one adopted when Miss seceded and joined the CSA. This is the actual MS Confederate flag. I like them both, but prefer the current one

I actually did know that, but it's mainly because I'm a bit of a flag nerd
It's not about making it "less confederate," necessarily (although that'd be my personal preference). It's about removing it from the divisive racial connotations that have come to be associated quite readily with the current flag's canton.
