Retired Mississippi Flag Removed On Capitol Hill | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
About time. Losers should not be proudly displayed.
@M Bern 🤣
TrumpVirus-19 : Yeah, exactly. A loser’s flag, for a lost, “cause,” which was to Make America Divided Again, just like Donny Loser. Bet he cried?
TrumpVirus-19 : ✌️👍
M Bern : I never even read Bud’s comments. He’s ill. Seriously. Who spits out that venom, day after day, for years? On the channels he hates, hating on people he hates, while talking to people he hates? That’s deranged? ✌️👍
old school : You’re always, “afraid,” son. That’s WHY you joined the Klan. We don’t even care anymore. You’ll see 😉
That flag was hideous anyway.
Truly the most butt ugly flag in history just after the Nazi’s swastika.
About time we finally see the right thing done for ALL AMERICANS!! Sad it took several murders and the abuse of rights by several police officers for it to happen… At least the people in Mississippi finally made change happen!! It’s nice to know that even with all the craziness our country finds itself in right now, we as a nation can still make a positive change from something so horrific… There is still hope for our country if we can unite behind a just and worthy cause to better ALL in our great nation!! Thank you to the people of Mississippi for showing the rest of the country that change can happen!!
This must really sadden Trump..
ROTFLMAO! 🤣 Don’t worry he has his ‘safety bunker’ that he can go down to. & curl up in the fetal position in & cry himself to sleep.
very well said, ty mr kornacki. and bravo, mississippi!
Good. Confederate soldiers made their own flag and shot at and killed those who carried the American flag, all to fight to try to retain the ability to own other human beings. There is no participation trophy for the runner-up of the Civil War. The Union won, those who carried the Confederate flag lost. If you don’t like the American flag, and you think a free press is the enemy of the people, Russia needs new citizens. Enjoy!
Baby steps but steps they are indeed 🙂 We have the wind to our backs and forward we shall endeavor!
Good. The final vestiges of the traitors is finally laid to rest.
I may think of a couple of remaining vestiges. Keep cleaning.
There are still statues and monuments, public schools and college buildings, roads and highways all across America that are named for these traitors. There is still a great deal of work to be done to root out all vestiges of the evil that was the confederacy.
Not only were they loser, but traitors as well.
Second place…. is First loser in NASCAR.
@john smith ……erm… what?
Good riddance! Put the magnolia on your flag.
This is a small thing, but a good thing. It must not end here though. More practical, tangible, actual things must be done to fight racism and bigotry.
From Australia: much better! late than never👍👍👍
I’m sure trump and the cult shed a tear for this one.
ROTFLMAO! 🤣 Don’t worry about Tumpelstiltskin he has his ‘safety bunker’ that he can go down to. & curl up in the fetal position in & cry himself to sleep.
Osc Tuiio : No doubt. Symbols are a big deal when you’re trying to Make America Divided Again. Maybe if we can at least ACT like we live in a, “United,” States again, some of that might rub off on its people? Trump is a Clear And Present Danger
Here’s to letting go of the traditions that hold us back, keeping only the traditions that unite and build all of us. May we all learn what our history really was, and want better for our future generations.
The black mayor of one Mississippi town said it best:
“I have lived through some things with this rag”
Man that was fast. I was born in Mississippi still won’t go back.
Next they will want to tear down all of those statues of American revolutionaries in England!… oh, wait.
Good. And, about time too. Maybe if we can at least ACT like we live in a, “United,” States again, some of that might rub off on its people?
In some trailer home in Mississippi, a man is cracking open an ice cold beer, farewell salute to old dixie 😢…lol
That’s one of the changes we want for beloved America.
