Cowardly Mississippi state senators, the majority of which are Republicans voted to change the state’s flag because some were offended by the Confederate emblem. The current flag, which is apparently too offensive now has been the state’s flag for 128 years, since 1894. You “woke” agitators have had 128 years to try and get a different flag, now you finally won. What Mississippi should have done with their new flag was to go all pink with little hearts. Instead, they will replace Confederate emblem with the phrase “In God we trust.” Even the Republicans in Mississippi are cowards. It’s already passed the state’s House and will undoubtedly be signed into law by the RINO governor of Mississippi. e

Mississippi lawmakers are sending up their decision to remove the Confederate emblem from their flag. On Saturday, the state Senate voted 36-14 to allow changes to the design of the flag.
This came hours after the lower chamber passed the bill, which would establish a commission to create a new design for the flag.
“I have lived through some things with this flag,” said Laurel Mayor Johnny Magee. “As they told Dr. King to wait, the time for waiting is over.”
One idea lawmakers have introduced is replacing the Confederate emblem with the phrase “In God we trust.”
This is the first time Mississippi legislators have considered removing the symbol since 2001, when a voter initiative failed to gain traction.
“As a younger Mississippian, a millennial, it represents darker days where our state government and various others used it as a symbol of supremacy,” explained one resident. “So I am hopeful that it will change, bring forth a symbol that’s more unified and represent the diversity of Mississippi.”
