Bruh simpsons lasted longer than confederacy. There is mo heritage there.
A shithole state so bad, it’s worse than Alabama.
Imagine celebrating something 150+ years later that lasted ~4 years, was a total failure and, at least as of right now, the biggest blemish on American History.
Just a reminder that Mississippi did not ratify the thirteenth amendment until 2013.
I mean, if they want a month long reminder that they’re a bunch of losers, I guess I’m ok with that.
The confederacy are the most widely celebrated giant losers of all time, and it isn’t even close.
There are more monuments commemorating their failure than there are commemorating most successes
Are they going to have a “Slavery and Treason Parade”?
A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union.
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.
“But, states’ rights!”
Yeah, states’ rights to own slaves.
How will they celebrate it? By starting a fight, getting their ass kicked, and surrendering?
Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.
Why isn’t this considered treason? They fucking lost. Wtf isn’t any confederate symbolism illegal and punishable by prison time? I’d support this. Also same thing for nazi shit. Didn’t Germany make all nazi shit illegal?
Our leaders have a history of letting them live to stop the killing. They did the same thing after WWII. Thanks to nuclear bomb wet dreams, many of those nazi’s ended up in high positions within the govt., eventually.
We won’t make the same mistake this time.
Imagine having to look at yourself every time you’re in front of a mirror, and what you see is this pile of shit looking back at you.
How long did the confederacy last again, 4 years? Really need a month to recognize a screwball government that only lasted through one presidential term’s worth of time?
It’s their “heritage” they want to celebrate though…
So literally slave ownership. That’s it.
The answer is of course no.
Racist Traitor Heritage Month doesn’t have quite the same ring
I live in Louisiana and don’t go to Mississippi unless I have to. One time, LSU was playing Ole Miss and we got a hotel in Memphis. On gameday, some lady came up to me while I was just standing there and said, “T-R-A-S-H trash” and I just responded “You live in Mississippi!”
Jackson State is cool. Respect to HBCUs thriving despite outright hostility from their dogshit elected officials. And Kingfish Ingram is a badass blues player. Clarksdale has the heritage they should be honoring.
Well it’s May now.
This is sort of old news. He announced it last month.
