Well, maybe there's hope that we'll finally get rid of that emblem of white supremacy and treason against the government of the United States for once and all.

More power to 'em!

Gunn: Confederate part of state flag 'needs to be removed'
Clay Chandler, The Clarion-Ledger 8:01 p.m. CDT June 22, 2015


Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said Monday night that the Confederate emblem in the state's official flag has to go.

"We must always remember our past, but that does not mean we must let it define us," Gunn, a Clinton Republican, said in a statement. "As a Christian, I believe our state's flag has become a point of offense that needs to be removed. We need to begin having conversations about changing Mississippi's flag."

It's the first time a Mississippi Republican has publicly called for the removal of the emblem that served as the battle flag flown by the Confederate army during the Civil War. Later, it was adopted by anti-Civil Rights groups.
