California lawyers say Mississippi’s state flag must go

Lawyers from California have cast accusatory eyes on Mississippi, declaring that the state’s Confederate symbol on its flag that’s flown at a Santa Ana display is racist and needs to go.

The Orange County Bar Association has passed a resolution to remove the Mississippi flag from the Santa Ana civic center where it now hangs, along with the flags of all other states, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Members of the group say the Confederate symbol is an outdated relic that represents racism and hatred, The Associated Press reported.

I’m offended that this place is named after Santa Ana.

*Tolerance as long as you believe what THEY believe*

The same kind of tolerance that the SS, Stasi, Soviet Secret Police, Ceausescu's thugs, Kim Jong Un, and the EPA had (have).

Represents racism and hatred???? Only to a-hole libs who have no concept of history and pride. The Confederate flag is historical and is a symbol of pride for southerners and not a symbol or racism. My recommendation to those a-holes in the Peoples Republic of California, if you don’t like it, don’t look at it. But like all GD libs, they have to eliminate anything they don’t like or disagree with, while at the same time demanding we accept everything they want.

???? How can the Bar Association pass a resolution to remove a flag from a Civic Center?

They can pass a resolution calling for anything they want. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

If you (generic application) understand what’s going on here, then you should understand why U. S. loyalists don’t want binding international agreements.

Here a state is deemed by some not to have the right to decide what flag it wishes to represent it.

Internationally, the United States can been deemed in a like manner to coerce it to change it’s ways.

Good-by self-determination, hello to inferiority and domination from outside your borders.

As soon as CA gives back the land that they “stole” from Mexico. /sarc

The Governor of Mississippi should travel to California and retrieve their flag. Then he should ban the display of California flags in his state as they fraudulently show a grizzly bear which the leftist state eradicated over a century ago.

The California grizzly bear is a symbol of past hatred for nature and the legacy of the imperial colonists state bear killers.

Two can play this game.

Not much longer, you KNOW that is coming, don’t you?

There must be some place in Mississippi where the California flag can be used to wipe your feet after leaving the bathroom. I’d say printing rolls of toilet paper with the California flag on them but I’d be afraid to have anything related to California that close to my rear.

Dear California Lawyers,

If THAT is what the flag represents to you, then IT IS YOU WHO OWN THE PROBLEM!

Get over it!
Get over yourselves!

Mississippi could point out that California’s state flag is also a symbol of racism, signifying the long ago oppression of Mexicans and Japanese.

Between 1848 and 1860, at least 163 Mexicans were lynched in California, most under Democrat governors. Mexican American school children were subject to racial segregation in the public school system. They were forced to attend “Mexican schools” in California until 1947.

We are not all endowed, remember, with the inalienable right to not be offended. That is a fundamental right, guaranteed to a select few in the penumbra of the Constitution.

Right next to the right to an abortion...

I’m sure they’d be happy to fly the flag of Mexico or Aztlan there.

Elitist scum.

And the California flag is the flag of whites that worked to shamelessly take a territory of a weaker, non-white nation. And it represents a shame country that didn’t even exist for more than a few days.

See how easy that was?

How much power does the OC Bar association actually have? Are they run out of a PO box?

I demand that California reinstate prop 8 as the will of the voters.
I’ve got as much pull as these kooks.
