A federal judge said Tuesday that the Confederate emblem on the Mississippi flag is "anti-American" because it represents those who fought to leave the United States.

But U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves is not yet saying whether he will fully consider a lawsuit that seeks to eliminate the flag as a state symbol.

Reeves heard more than three hours of arguments about motions in the lawsuit that Carlos Moore, an African-American attorney from Grenada, Mississippi, filed against the state. Moore is asking Reeves to declare the flag an unconstitutional relic of slavery.

We must remember that FIVE SLAVE STATES remained with the Union. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and the break away WEST Virginia. That means while the UNION was fighting to free the slaves in the South, the slaves in the North were still under the STARS AND STRIPES, and the LASH.

Some of the UNION officers in that war still had slaves as they led troops in the field.

Delaware refused to release their slaves till the 13th Amendment was ratified, EIGHT MONTHS after the war ended.

He’s a Canadian who has nothing to celebrate about his own country so he comes to FR to fling poo. They can barely keep the Quebecois in that loose association that they call a country. If the Frenchies ever vote for separation, stormer and his fellow hand-wringers will stand around yelling harsh words as the Quebeckers flip them the finger on their way out.
