When it stops being racist, it will stop. Sorry, but Forrest County (I assume is named for NB Forrest) needs a name change. In no way, should anyone in Mississippi have to live in a county named for that dude.
So you are right. It will not stop with the flag. We have plenty of history that needs celebrating that has nothing to do with racism, the confederacy, or the bigotry of the 1860s-1969.

It was mentioned in 2015 it needed to change but rep-Billy Hudson said he wouldn't change it.

I'm ok with changing the flag as long as it don't have a stupid magnolia on it!
But where does it stop?
So your fine in changing anything\where named Columbus, Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, ECT..... Cause that's what is wanteded by the current movement..... And on the case by case thing if we let others make the decisions then we have lost our say.... I know we get to vote but they can change a lot of stuff between elections if we allow them to.
What if the next demand is to remove all forms of Christianity on campus and make everyone embrace lgbtq+ say we have to remove the Chapel of Memories....
again we have been losing small inch by inch battles for years now it's a full on field rush by the left to take this country over and become socialist
In the end we all have our opinions and can voice them somewhat for now but were losing more of that everyday

Removing a symbol of chattel slavery is definitely a slippery slope to abolishing Christianity***

Lol didn't say anything about abolishing something that can't be.... Just saying what's the next stone? Calling for removing\renaming everything in history you don't like is the death of this country. Ask Venezuela how erasing history and censoring the people worked out for them

Who is being censored, and how is history being erased?
