The only flag that should be acceptable there is the white one.

Literally the only reason I moved to Mississippi for a while was to savor the glory of the flag.

Reeves has said that this should be up to the voters, not the lawmakers. So there is still a chance that the flag will stay.

What if he proposed changing it to the flag of Nazi Germany?

They might actually support a "white flags only" bill. Tongue

Of course. The Confederate flag is a symbol of heritage, there is currently a lot of hate against Anglo symbols/figures. Heroes like Cecil Rhodes (who by the way wasn't a racist, he gave many rights to Africans in the Cape, he wanted to unite all Anglo countries, he was against wars.) are now being spit upon.

The current flag already is the White one.

Nice! I lived there for a few years, always wondered when it would finally be changed. Impressed that there is so much bipartisan support.

2020 truly is the new 1968!

That looks like the flag of a proposed US/EU union. Why not make it something Mississippians can relate to? Like a St. Andrew's cross, but with the black nationalist colors.

I never understood why the Confederate battle flag was the most popular.  Every other flag used by the Confederacy looks better.

And yet, there's still a lot more work in this state that needs to be done and I don't have the confidence that the work will be done soon enough.

Would the General Lee have been as iconic if it had the official Confederate flag? It was more popular (during the Civil War up until present) because the stars and bars looks too much like the US flag. The original reason the battle flag was created was because at the first few Civil War battles, soldiers confused the two flags for each other....which was a problem for obvious reasons.

I wonder if this is the beginning of the Mississippi GOP's (sustained) effort to reach out to African-Americans in the state, and broaden their coalition beyond whites.

The Confederate flag is a symbol of heritage

What kind of person, exactly, proudly considers their "heritage" to involve going to war against the United States of America in order to preserve their right to own black people?  (I know the correct answer obviously, but I’m curious to hear yours.)

And not to mention his "Anglo symbols" comment, also.
