Sure, why not? We could kick it off with Benedict Arnold Day and honor all this nations most famous traitors in one go.

Of course they do. Because they didn’t learn the lesson from history, and are condemned to repeat it. They want to love ‘heritage’ more than right or justice or fairness. Yes, by all means let us celebrate EVERYTHING that was wrong with the South, and all the EVIL they engendered.

When I was stationed there in 1965 it was the anus of the U.S. and still is.

There is nothing even slightly amusing about this. That is a symbol of slavery and hate and a total affront to black people and it should be to everyone. God I hate this Country right now

Go for it. Just as long as they require students to memorize the articles of secession from the state of Mississippi, including but not limited to the second paragraph:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.

Ok, that and the fact that Mississippi didn’t ratify the 13th Amendment to the Constitution until 2013. You know, the one that bans human slavery. Just to keep historicalness and all…

Well let’s not waste a second getting the overreach started, there, folks.

Yeah, they want to celebrate that proud, proud heritage of treasonous racist losers.

Oh, and put a sprinkling of faux “inclusiveness” on top, because that’ll mask the taste of shit. Sure.

“Arthur Randallson, the director of the Magnolia State Heritage Campaign, told the Mississippi newspaper, ‘We believe people should get a chance [to] vote on these important issues and preserve these elements of our heritage.’”

He later added, “And when I say ‘people’ should be able to vote, I think we all know which people I mean.”

As a born and raised Mississippian this does not make me proud.

They want to honor people who wouldn’t pay for labor and used slaves instead.
