"I've been telling ALL my friends to check out this petition for a GOOD LAUGH! "Wanna see how stupid those racist rednecks are in Mississippi?" I tell 'em. "Check out their petty little racist petition. It's a hoot, only they're too stupid to know it!""
"KEEP OUR FLAG NOT TO CHANGE"
"LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"By the way, do you have any support for your ridiculous claim or is this just Southern mythology they teach in Mississippi public schools to bolster the loss of self-esteem the South collectively suffered after their ass-whoopin'?"
"A lot of southern men died for this flag and if the African-Americans don't like the flag here, why don't they go live in Africa. Since there so proud to be African-Americans."
"There are a lot more pressing issues than the flag. The blacks need to be worrying about black on black crimes. The flag hasn't hurt them one bit. They are doing more damage to themselves than this flag could ever do."
"That's a historical fact. Not surprisingly, black Mississippians resent the state, which supposedly represents them as well as white folks, adopting a symbol with such an indisputably racist history."
"keep the flag flying"
"Death toll in Uncivil War shows 4 times more yankees died than Southerners, proving it takes 4 yankees to kill one Rebel."
"IS'NT THIS VERY ISSUE, STATES RIGHTS WHY THE CIVIL WAR WAS FOUGHT, IT'S ABOUT THE PRIDE, NOT THE HATE."
"Stand firm Mississippians! Keep your glorious flag up! Don't let them take it down!"
"Such drivel I have never seen. Paltry innuendo about geneological relations from Yankees takes the cake. I must say. What next, diatribes from mulatos and octaroons on the chromosone differences between our pigs and those in the little cans in the bodegas"
"I am so tired of blacks and minorities trying to take everything away from us. It's time we draw the line. THIS IS OUR HERITAGE, DAMN IT! NOT RACISM OR HATRED! Don't they know anything about American history? Let us keep our flag and our dignity!"
"Heritage NOT Hate!!!!!!"
"I think that no one should try to re-write history. We need to teach our children history and about our heritage. There are good and bad in all of history, but we much teach all of it so that the same mistakes are not made over and over again. The Mississ"
"the south was right so don't be a racist"
