Mississippi will retire the last state flag in the US to bear the Confederate battle emblem following a historic vote by a coalition of lawmakers, both black and white and across the political aisle, on Sunday.
Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, has said he would sign the bill into law as soon as it comes across his desk, likely within the next few days.
On Sunday, lawmakers voted 91-23 to change the controversial flag in a landslide victory in the Republican-controlled House. Hours later the Senate voted 37-14 to retire the flag.

I hate that they are canceling everything. Most of this stuff is pretty looney, but in all honesty, this isn’t that bad of a decision. I’m not sure why MS went with that emblem to begin with - it was 30 years after the civil war.
Treasonous POS.
Love her, and her fearless stance, but after seeing, what we've all been seeing, hearing what we've all been hearing...WHO KNOWS WHAT BLM and Antifa BLACKS WANT! They're all over the f#@king board!!! It's becoming clearer EVERY day that no matter what they get, they want MORE! It seems they want everything, with NO accountability, they want reparations, but only from whites....what about the BLACKS, that rounded them up, and SOLD THEM? What about black criminal Thugs that commit violent crimes AGAINST BLACKS? They want them to get a "free pass"! I could go on, but what's the freaking point anymore?? They apparently won't be happy until the family unit is destroyed, our churches are burnt down, our government is molded in "Their" image, and OUR history is erased! For Gods sake, where were ALL BLACK christians when they're setting fire to black businesses and trying to burn a church down??? There is no rationalizing with IRRATIONAL thugs!
Mississippi is 60% white. The governor is a Republican. The state legislature is majority Republican. Yet,they, the duly elected representatives, voted decisively to eliminate the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag during Donald Trump’s presidency.
apparently BLM has taken control over all those white conservative republicans in Mississippi...LOL
Bwahaha @ 423. Something tells me you dont quite understand how treason works
556 you are so busy ranting you cant see straight. Every channel i turn on its white protesters tearing stuff up and spray painting lol
White Cowards caved in!
This has already been voted on by state ballot and the citizens voted to keep it on the state flag.
This is where the elected clowns think they are above the law by going against the will of the people. They will be paying dearly for this.

You stupid idiot, the White Cowards are doing it thinking they are winning the blacks approval. Just goes to show you how stupid white Americans have become because of Indoctrination in our worthless public schools.
I think testicles are now a thing of the past. No one has them anymore!
1140 - ok troublemaker... look closer.
Right (Tues 6/30) now in NYC protesters are not all white
I am so disappointed that MS caved to this. That's how it goes, one step at a time................
Looks like The Ohio Flag,Tennessee flag,Georgia flag or the Arkansas flag will be next on the Chopping Block.
