That is Freeze, the head football coach of the state's university calling for Mississippi -- the only state with the Confederate symbol still a part of its flag -- to change what it waves at state institutions and otherwise.

The dots are connecting

Pretty clear why Mrs. Cohen approved of this hire…

What's actually funny is Georgia's state flag is a near copy of the first official flag of the confederacy and almost no one even knows it because they're dumbasses when it comes to history. All they know about is the battle flag of northern Virginia.

MS changed their flag already.

Weird that MS is the one that gets called out when....

Georgia's state flag:


First National flag of the Confederate States of America:

That's because self hating white liberals (the ones who pearl clutch the most, the average southern black person doesn't give a shite about flags and statues and carvings) are ignorant.

Another note to add to this is the national flag (what you called official) is what earned the nickname “stars and bars”, but retards continue to think that means the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia to this very day

The new MS flag is easily the ugliest in the whole country.

Because it was championed by racists during the civil rights movement.

Do Alabama’s state flag next. Based off Hilliard’s legion flag chosen to “preserve the more distinctive features of the confederate battle flag”.

I wouldn't say the worst, but it certainly isn't the best.

There were better options on the table, too.

Classic case of doing way too much when simpler is better

That MSU RB that pitched a fit over it and that he wouldn’t play because of it, was what sparked the change to do it and then he transferred out anyway

Edit: I was wrong, thought he transferred … he just opted out of playing for most of the 2020 season
