Part of the legislation states that Blacks work free in the month of April.

Just kidding, everyone knows blacks don't work!

Hey, the Confederacy is Back in style among rwingers.

How can you have Civil War Redux without the Confederacy?

Democrats are trying to Free the Corporate Wage Slaves in the South, and this must not stand!

Why?

Because Mississippi has accomplished absolutely nothing worth celebrating in the 159 years since the end of the civil war.

Mississippi is an abject -------- that would cease to exist without the federal government.

Even the most ardent conservatives from places like Kansas say they were shocked when they drove through Mississippi.

Hey--keep Mississippi in the Union. Okiehomie needs at one state below it in all those rankings of 'best this, that or the other', like for education, childhood poverty/hunger, healthcare, literacy, substance abuse, spousal abuse, single-parent households, poverty level, etc...

When you identity is tied to violence and slavery you can only go up from there.

Because they want to continue to be known as the stupidest state in the union, and Louisiana and West Virginia are coming after that title hard.

Because they just can't let the racism die...
150+ years and counting.

and you are right Gunslinger, WV is trying very
hard to unseat MS, as the dumbest and most
racist state in the Union. I know, I live here.

Probably true of every state at this point. Deficit spending and all.

I'll ask again, why do the Plantations in Natchez still exist?

All the tearing down of statues, yet ground zero of slavery is promoted and actually called ThePilgrimage?

Because MS politicians are racist morons who ensure MS hits the bottom in nearly every measurable category.

You go there on Pilgrimage?

It's clear you've never seen a plantation home in Natchez.
