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Members of the group say the Confederate symbol is an outdated relic that represents racism and hatred, The Associated Press reported.

My point is KOOKAFORNIA has no say about ANYTHING in ANY OTHER STATE!!!

They have made the carphole (yes I miss spelled on purpose) they live in, keep it on the left coast.

And yes I can read...

And it could be garlic/kiwi or grapefruit country for all I care.

These jackass lawyers are simply trying to feel important by raising a stink about something that’s actually nothing. Seriously, no one even looks at the flags (individually) when they go to the Santa Ana courthouse. Most people come and go through the Civic Center Drive entrance and the flags are in the plaza area behind the building. The people that cross the plaza to get to the building might notice that there are a bunch of flags on display but largely just walk on by to get their business taken care of.

To everyone who has said some form of “screw the OC Bar Association” I wholeheartedly agree.

Malcolm “X” was racist too - but no one complained about the X then.

This is a response to the "X" t-shirts that appeared following the release of the Malcolm X movie:

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

But...
But...
But...
But...

Then Mexico would have to give it back to the Aztecs.
Or the Clovis.
Or the Hohocam
Or the Olmec
Or the Maya
Or the Mixtec
Or the Nahua
Or the Mixe,
Or the P'urhepecha
Or the Huastec
Or the Toltec
Or the Totonac
or the Zapotec...

We won't even mention the great African explorations between 40,000 and 12,000 B.C.E. and migrations as reported in credible oral history...

we are talking about the Orange County Bar Association and not the California Bar Association.

[Exeter]

“...we are talking about the Orange County Bar Association and not the California Bar Association.”
You’re right, and my words should’ve been applied to the Orange County Bar.
If, however, a Ca. Bar spokesperson doesn’t step forward in the next couple of days to refute and criticize their action I think it’s safe to say “Qui tacet consentire” (silence implies consent)...

[publius911]

Maybe Santa Ana should replace all of the state flags with rainbow flags and change it's "Plaza of the Flags" to "Plaza of the Fags". After all, this is in California.

I understand they're working on that.
The removal of a single letter should not be an overwhelming task for the brain-addled perverts.

And the new flag will be called the eponymous "California Finger," large, and in rainbow colors, of course.

Yes, I know it’s the Orange County Bar Association. I put it in the keywords. Doesn’t matter. California is California and they STILL need to mind their own business.

And yes I can read...

But then again, comprehending may be a separate issue.

From the post:

"flag that’s flown at a Santa Ana display"
"the Santa Ana civic center where it now hangs"

Is there a Santa Ana Mississippi?

**** califonicate and her judges and her liberal people for allowing it to become the communist bunghole that it is. Mississippi will NEVER change our flag... EVER!

It is getting more and more evident that this country will be much better off without about 90% of the Kalifornians that live there.

You realize that Great Britain recognized TEXAS as an independent nation with the Rio Grande border, and tried to bring in Mexico, Canada, Texas, and GB against the USA over the Oregon Territories?

Suddenly the US realized the BACK DOOR WAS OPEN! Texas was so horrified at this attempted treaty they immediately plead for statehood. The USA agreed and then sent troops to the Rio Grande border, that GB had recognized as the border.

Then the Mexican Army began a bombardment of the Fort, killing a soldier named Brown. The Fort was then named Fort Brown and the town became Brownsville, TX.

GB backed off on the Oregon Territory problems, but there were atrocities there that are glossed over in the history books.

They would gladly raise La Raza’s Aztlan flag.

[QT3.14]

Would they prefer the Mexican flag?

California is exploiting bears with their speciesist flag.

Look at what happened to Georgia. As a Georgia native, this is my state flag:

not that thing they have now.

Yup. Apparently.
