That flag is completely disrespectful to a large portion of the population it is supposed to represent
If this were true then why did a majority of the state already vote to keep it?

The flag represents one group's dominance over another in the past. Isn't America about equal rights?

Three questions:
1. Do you think the 40% of Mississippi's population that is black like the confederate symbol in their state flag?
2. Do you think the 40% of Mississippi's population that is black have enough votes by themselves to change the state flag?
3. Of all the millions of possibilities of flags that could be adopted by Mississippi with no reference to the Confederacy, don't you think there is one that 99% of the population of the state could accept?
The state flag of Mississippi doesn't HAVE to be controversial. I don't think anyone finds the state flag of Louisiana controversial:
