Was he wearing his white KKK robes when he made the proclamation? Just a guess…
That’s because you drove around in Jacksonville. You have to leave to find the good part.

“Gov. Bryant believes Mississippi’s history deserves study and reflection, no matter how unpleasant or complicated parts of it may be,” spokesman Clay Chandler told CNN. “Like the proclamation says, gaining insight from our mistakes and successes will help us move forward.”
Sounds legit. It's likely this same logic is what led the leaders of Germany to set aside one month every year for display of the swastika on flags throughout the nation. What? They don't do that? Oh...never mind......

TPM:
States across the Deep South removed Confederate monuments and flags from public buildings last year, putting to rest a contentious symbol of slavery’s dark legacy. But Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant (R) thinks that is the wrong approach.
Bryant has declared April “Confederate Heritage Month” in his state, a proclamation that a spokesperson for the governor defended Thursday.
This is obviously a sad, desperate attempt on Byant’s part to get Trump to notice him and make him VP.

I wonder how / if this will affect any Fortune 500 companies who want to move some aspect of their company to MS to take advantage of the Right to Pay Less laws? I don’t anticipate that workers at Boeing, for example, would be too thrilled to move their families to a state that’s gonna have 30 official days of hate.
Put up a commemorative plaque on the site of every lynching in the state, and then I might be okay with recognizing Secessionist Traitors Month.

Why not just call it Remembrance of Treason Month? Or, We Love Slavery Month?

What I wouldn’t give to see President Obama call a press conference to announce:
“Look. Mississippi is right. They are a distinct culture and as such have clearly legitimized their need for sovereignty. Therefore immediately, I absolve Mississippi of any legal obligation to the United States and recognize them as a sovereign nation. Additionally, all financial assistance to Mississippi will cease immediately. A repayment plan for existing monies owed to the US federal government will be drafted. They are free to strike up trade agreements with the United States or apply for loans to assist with their economic needs. Thank you, that is all.”
Pulls up ladder and leaves.

Good Grief it’s hard to believe these dumb clucks get elected
“And in deference to their love of Trump (yes, I know we need to wait til their primary, but let’s face facts) we’re going to build a wall around that shithole, and we’re going to make them pay for it. It’s a plan I know they’d approve.”

I never met Bryant when I lived there, but I knew people who had.
You know how you’ll be talking to someone, and it’s like there’s nothing there in their head? You might as well me talking to a crash test dummy, a wall, or a geranium?
That’s talking to Phil Bryant.
Possibly. But it’s already a sort of holiday, isn’t it?
Will there be a “Most Eloquent Racist of the Month (brought to you by the KKK)” award, and an “Outstanding Traitor of the Month (brought to you by the GOP)” award, given at the end of the month to the white men who proclaim the values of the Confederacy the loudest and most efficiently throughout the month?
There shall be other assorted lesser prizes for the non-White races, and for womenfolk.
