Keep it? Why?

Change it? If so, to what?

change it.


I've never seen a group of people celebrate and honor the losers of a major war more than southerners. The nazi flag is perma-banned in Germany. I doubt you'll find any public statues to fricking Adolf Hitler.



Disclaimer: don't even bother with the whole "but it ain't racist" argument with me. I don't give a shite if someone finds it racist or not....waving that flag 150 years later should be considered an embarrassment.

One less thing to blame shite on

ALso, I'm white as frick, so I really can't place how it makes others feel. If over 30% of the population feels oppressed by it then yeah.. Whatever.

Change it... not that it matters. What's next after we change the flag?

Mississippi will never be viewed as "progressive" so it doesn't matter. People will find reasons to shite on us whether it's about racism or obesity.

I just hate to "give in" to this type of shite.

Take it down but, when does it stop? John Stewart said the reason a lot of African Americans cant get ahead in this country is because they don't feel apart of it "how are they supposed get ahead in life when they walk on streets named after confederate soldiers." My question to John is most Americans black or white cant answer basic American history questions how in the heck are they supposed to know the name of a confederate soldier or General.

I say yes take it down but, be mindful of the past don't forget what happened.

Keep it, simply to be defiant little shits.

I'm a huge a-hole though, so take that opinion for what it's worth

Indifferent. I don't think time should be wasted on it though. The only reason I would say keep it is because I'm tired of west coast liberals trying to force other states to change stuff they deem offensive.

Change the flag. Make Mississippi more inclusive. We are the hospitality state, so let's be hospitable.

If they do, and they adopt the Magnolia and Bonnie Blue, can they at least make the magnolia tree look incredible and well designed instead of a green blob with white flecks?

ETA:
Because the Magnolia on this looks atrocious


and the magnolia on this one also looks like a 3rd grader's coloring book from arby's


Maybe something like this in level of detail, but showing the roots of the tree instead of the ground


and no writing on it. I saw a graphic designer's approach and it had "The Hospitality State" written on it. No writing unless it is the latin motto, and even then...

Around 40% of the state definitely thinks the current MS flag is racist. The other 60% should respect that.

The current flag is an embarrassment and needs to go. I like the original Magnolia Flag, although I agree it could use some updating.
