When will this Nonsense Stop?!? NAACP Setting Sights on MS State Flag (give 'em an inch)

Seriously, don’t these people have anything better to do?

Curley Clark, the head of the Jackson County Mississippi NAACP is now setting his sights on the Mississippi State Flag and states that he wants to see it changed to something less offensive. Clark who believes that Mississippi should adopt a new flag that can be embraced by all Mississippians is now calling for the national NAACP’s help in shaming the state into changing their current flag.

“It is time to have the divisive Confederate symbol re-moved from our state flag and replaced with a symbol that all Mississippians can embrace”, Clark stated.

On Saturday, Clark will be in Philadelphia at the NAACP National Convention. During that meeting, he’ll request the NAACP’s assistance to work with Mississippi lawmakers on a plan to remove the confederate battle symbol from the state flag…

Mississippi’s two U.S. Senators have both said in recent weeks they believe it’s time for Mississippi to approve a new flag.

Though many are quick to jump on the P.C. bandwagon nowadays, one individual standing in the state flag’s corner is Rep. Steven Palazzo.

“They’ve tried to take our guns. They’ve tried to take our flag. They’re trying to take our freedom.We will not let them. We will fight. And we will win.”

This is not the first time Palazzo has stood up for the state flag, in June he stated the following:

“The people of Mississippi, not outsiders, should continue to be able to choose for themselves the flag that flies over the State of Mississippi. I believe our state is more than capable of handling this issue with dignity and respect.”

I know what many of you are thinking, the Left will not stop until the only flag we fly in America is the white flag, however, that is where you are wrong… The white flag may too be seen as offensive because it lacks racial diversity.

Thoughts?

Battle lines are shaping up rather nicely. This could happen a lot faster than I thought. Let’s get it over with as soon as possible so our children can live in America again.

“Curley Clark, the head of the Jackson County Mississippi NAACP”

Wonder when he will be picked up for buying cocaine like his “brother” in Indiana?

It won’t stop until every vestige of the Old South is destroyed and reparations are paid on our great grandchildren’s backs.

Unless it is stopped...words need not convey how that will be.

After the leftist agitators rid the country of the battle flag, the American flag will be left. To them, it too is a symbol of slavery, racism, imperialism, colonialism, and hate.

When you give in to leftists, be prepared to give in without stop.

This was posted earlier today. It is over. Remove the Confederate flag from all public places. Put it in the museum with the Nazi flag.

Why stop the Confederate flag?

Why not erase all history of the Confederacy?

Speaking of your heroes the Nazis, wouldn't book-burnings be nice?

What did you expect? When the Republican representatives that are elected roll over and play dead to every PC idea these clowns come up with, it will continue. Maleness in this society is close to being dead, which I’m sure was the goal of the feminist movement to begin with

That is one reason why the actions and the gloating by Nikki Haley, as she pushed the left’s agenda regarding a battle flag, is so disturbing. It will lead the left to demand more and more.

It will stop when stupid people stop electing liberals calling themselves Americans/conservatives on the political right. Not before unless CW2 begins.

Because the lack of opposition from said right wing liberals in DC has allowed all of this. And someone put them there.

Get serious and stop hyperventilating. Celebrating the Confederate flag and the Confederacy is no different than do so with the Nazi flag.

Yet no one on the conservative side has the guts to ask how all this improves anyone’s life...

Down in New Orleans, the discussion has turned to the offensive nature of the city's fleur de lis insignia, due to the fact that slavery came to that part of the continent via France, not England (I congratulate them on opening a history textbook).

Of course, this sort of cultural purge is right out of the Communist playbook. Mao's little red book, to be precise. I guess the "progressives" figure the North is already in the bag - but those damned southerners might just fight back.
