Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) on Monday praised his state’s move to officially erase the Confederate battle emblem, widely seen as a symbol of white supremacy, from the Mississippi flag.
Wicker argued that Mississippi’s decision came about in part because of NASCAR’s new ban on Confederate flags, which was “absolutely the right thing to do” “the kind of cover we needed, because our polling is catastrophic, and we need someone to hide behind”. and “created a bandwagon effect.”
Also…the War in which more Americans died than in any other would have had Trump in Burma (or any other place as far from the American South as possible when the call came for men to fight).
Even if this is a forced correction, made possible by economic and demographic reasons, it’s still a step in the right direction. I don’t know what other factor would have brought about this change, even if we wish it would a moral one.
This is a nice gesture. Meaningless though without official words condemning the Confederate flag as a flag of treason and un-American.
This just guarantees that the flag will continue to be a symbol of the defiant South. Bubba, Cletus and all their friends will take it upon themselves to proudly fly the flag they love. Want to get rid of the Confederate flag? Then ban the damn thing. Germany banned the flag millions of their war dead fought under. They did it because it was the right thing to do.
Second, you were flagged by one maybe a couple of people, not the “Community.”
Third, your post is shit-stirring virtue-signalling idiocy looking to start an argument and insult people because your only goal here, ever, appears to be doing just that while pretending you’re the wokest motherfucker ever to awaken.
Well at least in MS this battle has been raging for sometime. In the background reporting on MS getting rid of their current flag I believe I remember reading that businesses didn’t like it, and you know how GOPpers bow down to businesses. I just think that in this time frame they finally did have the cover they needed to change their flag. It will be telling to see what they replace it with.
Roger Wicker is betraying Preshitident Skanky-Turdface, First Lady and Half-Wife Iwanker, the Trump Organization and Trump Steaks by supporting the removal of the Flag of Racist Confederate Traitors who wanted to destroy America. I am wondering why spineless Roger did not find his voice to speak up on this issue earlier.
