re: What's the argument for the Mississippi flag to not be changed?

Here is what I said 5 years ago when they took the Confederate flag off of the Alabama state capitol.

The problem wasn't the flag. The real problem is that people, for whatever reason... seem to listen, pay attention to, comment on, change their belief system, and adjust who they are and what they believe based on what media feeds them and what those closest to them say. What should occur instead is someone having individual thoughts and basing those thoughts on what they encounter in real life.

Taking down a flag won't really change anything. The change will occur when people learn to give respect when it is due and others learn that respect is earned and not given, and both sides can do so blindly.

And guess what... it'll never happen... no matter what we do people will always divide themselves... (look at those "people" over there doing that "thing", acting that "way", or appearing like "that"..... )

This type of thinking isn't based on a flag, a skin color, a religious belief, etc... it's just built on the fact that we as humans like to classify everyone into particular groups... If you're fat, your lazy. If you're Jewish, you're cheap. If you're from the south, you're racist. If you're black, you can't swim. If you're white, you can't dance. If you're asian... you're probably good at math and bad with L's sounding like R's... If you think taking down a flag will change any of this... you're wrong... however... I really could care less about it coming down.

I'm more worried about the fact the people in this world are becoming so politically correct that their panties get in a bunch over ever little situation. And they don't realize how good they actually have it...

Your post was bullshite then and bullshite now. It's mental gymnastics to get around the fact that you're offended at the idea that your states' official symbols would no longer be a tribute to the institution of slavery. And yes, the confederacy itself is a monument to the institution of slavery and your heritage associated with it is a heritage of white supremacy.

These are hate symbols. On official government symbols. And you're struggling for convoluted reasons to defend it. Period. That's it. Cut through the bullshite and find the truth.

Because white people get upset if they can't remind black people that they were slaves.

show me the picture of one living person today who was ever a slave in this country and I'm not referring to those enslaved to the demoncratic party.

The goal is absolutely more sinister. Confederate statues were the easier targets. Now it is other civil war statues.

But this game was started decades before. First the movie industry was one of the first to be infected, college and universities were next. High schools and elementary schools are being brain washed by the Department of education. Large cities are corrupt more than ever.
Human resources in all employment do shady business practices all the time. Firing employees for doing nothing at all. Some of the churches are splitting up because beliefs that are not the ways of Jesus are being told as truth instead.

Individuals of wealth and influence have won victories in these categories. But still a lot of work to do to in destroying and rebuilding this nation in a new image. Now pro sports is infected. College sports is falling apart from weak leaders that don't do the right things. Letting children be the bullies of schools and universities and because of the pressure change traditions on the whim. What is the old saying? Children are to be seen and not heard. What is worse is that we have head coaches with no spine. Push and they apologize, push more and you no longer have anyone in charge. Players make all the decisions now.

Our second amendment is being threatened each day of our lives. More liberal prone cities and states are either restrictive on guns or will ban them completely in the future. Next is the south which is the biggest threat to them. If the south gives up their guns then controlling the citizens of this nation will be a piece of cake.

Music of different genres are being changed or controlled. No longer do artists have to say what they need to say unless they agree with you. Say or play music that doesn't tow the company line and you will be canceled. You can't be proud of who you are anymore and if you do then you will be without a label.

But we are all playing a game. All these events for decades are planned. Once these goals are accomplished then this nation will no longer be free. The flag will be changed. The government will be a lot more oppressive and the quality of life will sink. Everything that was fought and are fighting will be in vain unless people start fighting back.

I would let the voters of Mississippi decide, and not be steered by outside influences. They are the only ones that have the right to make that call.

State wide elections only count if the people vote the correct way. See California election on gay marriage. It didn't go as planned so they had to get a judge to rule the correct way.

Oh kind of like the electoral college?

I appreciate everything the South stood for.
Of course, people like myself, have no right to their opinion.
