The flag that is being dumped was ADOPTED in the 1960s. - SORRY but the “mainstream press” LIED to you & the rest of the public.= I’m old enough to remember when the “battle-flag design” was adopted.

The OLD/OGIGINAL MS flag had a MAGNOLIA TREE on it.
(Btw, prior to 1860, Mississippi had NO state flag.)

Every source says it’s been Mississippi’s state flag since the 1890s. If you’re actually old enough to recall its adoption, maybe you’re senile and thinking of Georgia and its state flag adopted in 1956?

IF you sources are CORRECT (I believe that they are NOT.= The press LIES as often as they tell the truth.), then I remember when the “battle flag design” was RE-ADOPTED. - Our family was living in Bay St Louis at the time, where my dad was coaching FB.
(The design was considered by the press as being “- - - - a thumb in the eye of the civil rights movement”.- The LIBS HATED the battle-flag even back then.)

The photos of the flag were seemingly in EVERY days’ Jackson newspaper..

Yours,TMN782

IF you sources are CORRECT (I believe that they are NOT.= The press LIES as often as they tell the truth.), then I remember when the “battle flag design” was RE-ADOPTED. - We were living in Bay St Louis at the time, where I think that my dad was still coaching FB.

So, Mississippi and France have the same flag now?

Rioting, looting and burning must pay off. It wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

Quite the contrary. Mississippi protests have been notably peaceable and civilized; free from rioting, looting and burning during the past month.

That sucks big time.

Collectors had better start snapping up the flags so they can fly them over their front lawns.

Quite the contrary...

So in your opinion these changes were made because it was so peaceful there and the images of what is happening in other states have nothing to do with it? This is an interesting viewpoint,

The new flag will be 3/4th black with “BLM”. The 1/4th will be white with the word “Surrender”

Just a pure white flag should do it.

My previous post of 3/4 black and 1/4 white needs a yellow strip dividing the sections to represent the political cowards.
