Are they going to have a “Slavery and Treason Parade”?
Heritage of taking a fat fuckin L
What a shithole state
Can confirm, unfortunately I grew up and live here.
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.
Why not call it Racist Hillbilly month instead?
A member of the Rankin Greys, a Sons of Confederate Veterans camp based in Florence, Mississippi, announced the proclamation in on April 18.
The SCV annually asks governors to issue the Confederate Heritage Month proclamations.
The SCV is a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which promotes a revisionist version of history that whitewashes the Confederacy’s racist past and downplays the role of slavery in the Civil War. SCV owns and operates Beauvoir, the museum and historic home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis; the organization annually receives $100,000 from the State of Mississippi for development and maintenance.
I hate Mississippi Nazis.
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?
The answer is of course no.
Isn’t that every month down there?
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?
If you want to to celebrate this shit then i won’t be sad if you find yourself hanged
How will they celebrate it? By starting a fight, getting their ass kicked, and surrendering?
Racist Traitor Heritage Month doesn’t have quite the same ring
Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.
Well it’s May now.
This is sort of old news. He announced it last month.
