re: Question for Mississippi residents, former and present, about your flag.

I've lived here nearly 16 years and have experienced one public vote (that I didn't vote in) that expressed a majority to keep the flag. I have no argument in this either way (I grew up and went to college in Alabama), but if the people want to keep their flag, then that's good enough for me. I have black coworkers that voted to keep the flag (which pretty much had to happen because this is a close to 50/50 state). I understand the national opinion on the Virginia confederate battle flag, but the majority of people living in this state just don't have a problem with it. I think everyone living outside of MS just needs GTFO with their comments because it doesn't affect them.
