re: How long before the SEC forces people to take down their Confederate Flags

No wonder Mississippi is ranked last or near last in every category that matters.

They still got that flag tho !!!!

Actually, every Mississippian can be mighty proud of that flag because they are the last state to not cave in to the god damn PC yankeedom that is well on its way to destroying America.

I'm not particularly offended by the flag. It has an historical meaning as I had many relatives who fought in regiments in Alabama during the war.

However, it cannot be denied that the resurgent use of the battle flag in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s in various state flags or official political settings was due to the rise of activism against segregation and other Civil Rights deprivations. As a result, the battle flag became a symbol of racism to most in this country.

Again look at the raising of the Confederate Flag in SC in 1962, or the inclusion of the Confederate Flag in the GA state flag in 1956. It is a tainted symbol.
