Senator Calls For Return of Old Mississippi Flag: ‘Our People Died Under That Flag’

Mississippi Sen. Kathy Chism, R-New Albany, said the Legislature should not have retired the Confederate-themed state flag.

“That flag, a lot of our people fought and died under that flag,” Sen. Kathy Chism, R-New Albany, said during a political speech at the Belmont Political Rally in Tishomingo County on June 3. A reader shared a link to a video of her speech with the Mississippi Free Press.

The state did not adopt the flag—which featured three red, white and blue bars with a Confederate cross in the upper left-hand corner—until 1894, almost three decades after the end of the Civil War and several years after the end of Reconstruction. White supremacist lawmakers adopted the Confederate-themed flag in place of a prior magnolia flag as they worked to lock Black Mississippians out of politics with a slew of Jim Crow laws.
Amazing that they could fight under a flag 30 years before it was even designed.To be fair to the local GOP they seem to understand the awful optics of this move. It only seems to be a few klan followers who think it is important.
Perhaps they are lucky that they live in such a wealthy and privileged state that gives them time to worry about such nonsense..

Dont mess with ma flag y'all

Better watch it or Kathy Chism will be sending southern boys in gray back up to Wilson's Creek.

Its not like there is a toxic history there is it ? Why try and resurrect a lost cause ?
Do these state people get paid or is it a voluntary role ?

Half of the population of Mississippi was in bondage
That flag was a symbol of White Supremacy and the KKK

That is why Conservatives want to resurrect that flag……the good ole days….their Heritage

Ask them if they want to get a divorce from the child-raping, tranny mother ship....

Then they can do as they please.... without interference from the party that steals elections and likes to fuck kids.

We need to recall this dark period of democrat Party history where they went to war with Republicans rather than free their slaves

while it's true a lot of folks from Mississippi died under the Confederate flag, and they can be remembered in many ways, the flag in the former state flag was not the flag they died under...in fact it's the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia....and was cooperated by the demaklan after they lost the war to keep their slaves...and should not be flied over any state house.

There is a very toxic history of murder, rape, enslavement in the Britstain flag. Why do you continue with the Southern White Democrat battle standard, when you clearly have a glass house?

Well.... that's inconvenient

Why do so called Republicans defend the CSA battle flag?
