The most disgraceful conduct by a state Legislature in the history of the United States.
So, since the Mississippi actually did the good and correct action in removing the Confederate battle symbol from their flag, what should replace the battle flag? This is the flag I'm thinking about. An homage to Champlain and l'Ordre de Bon Temps. What cross is the blue cross of Dixieland?The most disgraceful conduct by a state Legislature in the history of the United States.
Why?
Well, I don't know if it is disgraceful, but it is certainly predictable and unfortunate. Predictable because the radicalized fascists are going after all known symbols of discrimination everywhere they can find one making it far easier to just give in and comply to go with the flow and shut them up, but unfortunate because it actually does NOTHING to address or counter the actual problems of the courts and legal system and police abuse or the attitudes that may lie within.The most disgraceful conduct by a state Legislature in the history of the United States.Mississippi lawmakers vote to remove Confederate battle emblem from its flag

In the end, a flag is just a piece of cloth and the state will carry on without the confederate part of its design, however, that design doesn't actually symbolize anything but the state's past which changing the flag certainly can't change, nor does changing the flag actually do a thing to fix or change police and related abuses which spans all races. It is all just so much jerking off.
I suppose at some point, we will have to disenfranchise the entire South from the United States that was once part of the Confederacy to truly be free of slavery and racial oppression, or at the very least, levy a special heavy tax on those states for being part of the South.
No that won't do it, we will have to fine all white people, make it a crime to say anything remotely associated with slave ownership, ban the arrest of all black people everywhere for anything, ban the sale of rope, the making of loops, looking cross at a black person and take the word 'slavery' out of Comptons Dictionary as well as excize the teaching of all American history from the years of approx. 1660 thru 1960, the slavery years. It just never happened.
Yep, then everyone will be happy.

We have, for many important reasons, ordered, commissioned, and established the Lord of Monts, gentleman ordinary of our chamber, our lieutenant-general, to people and inhabit the lands, shores, and countries of Acadia, and other surrounding areas, stretching from the fortieth parallel to the forty-sixth, and there to establish our authority, and otherwise to there settle and maintain himself in such a way that our subjects will henceforth be able to be received, to frequent, to dwell there, and to trade with the savage inhabitants of the said places as we have most expressly declared in our letters patents sent and delivered for this effect to the said Lord of Monts the eighth day of last November, following the conditions and articles, in consideration of which he is charged with the conduct and execution of this undertaking. To facilitate which and to those who are therein joined with him, and to give them some means and facility to support its expenses we have been pleased to promise and assure them that it will be permitted to no other of our subjects, except to those who enter into association with him, to make the said expenditures to trade in pelts and other merchandises during ten years in the lands, countries, ports, rivers, and routes in the expanse of his jurisdiction, which we wish to take place. We, for these reasons and other contributing considerations, command and order you that you act, each of you, in the extent of your powers, jurisdictions, and boundaries in our behalf, since from our full power and royal authority we very expressly prohibit and forbid all merchants, masters, and captains of ships, sailors and others of our subjects of whatever state, quality, and condition they may be, all others, nevertheless, and apart from those who have entered into association with the said Lord of Monts for the said undertaking, according to the articles of these by us decreed as it is stated, to equip any ships and in them to go or to send for the purpose of trading or bartering in skins, and other things with the savages, to frequent, to negotiate, and to communicate during the said time of ten years, from the cape of Rane as far as the fortieth parallel, including the entire coast of Accadia, the land, and Cape Breton, the bay of Saint Cler, of Chaleur, the included islands, Gaspay, Chichedec, Mesamichi, Lesquemin, Tadoussac, and the river of Canada, one bank as well as the other, and all the bays and rivers which enter the interior of the said coasts, under pain of disobedience and the complete confiscation of the vessels, men, arms, and merchandise to the profit of the said Lord of Monts and of his associates, and of thirty thousand pounds fine. For the assurance and acquittal of which, and for the coercion and punishment of their disobedience, you will be permitted, as we have also permitted and do permit the said Lord of Monts and his associates, to seize, apprehend, and arrest all those who go against our present prohibition and command as well as their vessels, merchandise, arms, and provisions, to take and remit them into the hands of justice, and to be prosecuted, both against the persons as well as against the goods of the said disobedient ones in the manner that it applies; which we desire and which we order and command you to have immediately published and read in all the public places of your powers and jurisdictions or where you will judge the need to be so that none of our said subjects may claim cause of ignorance, so that each one may obey and conform to this our will to do which we have given and do give you power, commission, and special command, since such is our pleasure. Given in Paris the eighteenth day of December in the year of grace one thousand six hundred and three, and of our reign the fifteenth, thus signed Henry. And lower, by the King, Potier. And sealed with the great seal of yellow wax."
