We ain't talking about northerners

Talking about them too......

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

why has there been such a sea change in the perception of this flag?

5 years ago no one was complaining about it, yet all of a sudden, in 2016, its a problem?

Propaganda..... people don't have a problem with much of anything unless you tell them too........

 

[Blackout]

Surprised this isnt classified as treason.

White privilege at work even against themselves.

Tariq really was right about april

 

[Red Shield]

So do you think that the northerners were just these righteous humans dying to free the slaves?

Stop it my guy. My whole point is that in their minds, there's way more to their heritage than slavery. Because slavery wasn't just exclusive to the south. So to target just confederate heritage as these slave owning heathens is revisionist history. It was deeper than that, our entire country was fukked up a lot of shyt they went to war over wasn't even slaves. So at some point you gotta recognize that, or you can play pretend and treat northerners like some slave freeing super heroes, I don't care either way

They lost in a fight they started.. shoulda wiped them all out

Mississippi governor declares April 'Confederate Heritage Month'

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has signed a proclamation declaring the month of April "Confederate Heritage Month" in his state. The signing was first reported by the Jackson Free Press.

The proclamation does not appear on the State of Mississippi's website, the alternative weekly reports, with other proclamations, such as those about emergency inclement weather, but is posted on the website of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which is against changing the Mississippi flag to remove the Confederate battle flag.

The 122-year-old flag features a large Confederate emblem.

Clay Chandler, director of communications for Gov. Bryant, confirmed that the proclamation had been issued.

"Like his predecessors -- both Republican and Democrat -- who issued similar proclamations, Gov. Bryant believes Mississippi's history deserves study and reflection, no matter how unpleasant or complicated parts of it may be," Chandler said. "Like the proclamation says, gaining insight from our mistakes and successes will help us move forward."

The proclamation says that April is the appropriate month to honor Confederate heritage because it "is the month in which the Confederate States began and ended a four-year struggle." It adds that the state celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on April 25 to "recognize those who served in the Confederacy."

The proclamation concludes:

WHEREAS, it is important for all Americans to reflect upon our nation's past, to gain insight from our mistakes and successes, and to come to a full understanding that the lessons learned yesterday and today will carry us through tomorrow if we carefully and earnestly strive to understand and appreciate our heritage and our opportunities which lie before us:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Phil Bryant, Governor of the State of Mississippi, hereby proclaim the month of April 2016 as

You surprised This is Mississippi that we are talking about here.

The whole reason for the confederacy was slavery. Before that most people rode for the state they was from not the region.
