The cry to take this flag down is unjustified.The Confederate Battle Flag today finds itself in the center of much controversy . It is very important to keep in mind that the Confederate Battle Flag was simply just that a battle flag. It wasn't even a National flag for the south so how could it have flown over a slave nation or represented slavery or racism? Those that Think the Confederate Battle Flag is all about hate, slavery and racism are very confused about history.The Confederate Flag is a sign of Southern Pride and Freedom. I'm born and raised in Mississippi and am very proud of my heritage. I'm not racist or full of hate towards anyone. So please help keep a Symbol of this Great Nations history and Mississippi State flying Like it has since 1894.
