Could we send Jenny Horne down to Mississippi to help those folks?
Got a problem with equal rights under the law there Poindexter?
I have no idea to what you are referring.
Nah, we need her here to keep slapping the shit out of the racist good ol boys.
BLASPHEMY ..!!
Good for them! Good news out of MS for a change!
They would have imported them from SC, but they couldn’t find Mississippi on a map.

Gomer – we don’t have enough klansmen in South Carolina to fill a phone booth much less stage a protest in Mississippi.
Explain the bad news you’ve heard from MS recently.
Protests at Ole Miss turn to shouting over Confederate flag
Police escorted several KKK members off the campus

“JACKSON, Miss. — An integrated group of at least 200 students and
faculty members rallied Friday at the University of Mississippi in
Oxford, urging the Ole Miss administration to stop flying the state flag
that includes the Confederate battle emblem.
About a dozen Confederate flag supporters showed up at the end of the
rally, and photos show some wore T-shirts with the logo of an
Arkansas-based Ku Klux Klan group, the International Keystone Knights.”
So Mississippi had to import Klansmen from Arkansas?
Now it is time for some Quid pro quo
Next week the State of Mississippi will cease forwarding any and all State tax dollars to Ole Miss, Ole Miss Staff and Ole Miss Students including scholarship funds, student loans, employee health premiums, employee salaries and pension funding
Wonder how long it will take Ole Miss to miss being a part of Old Mississippi
So the taxpayers are funding a school that refuses to fly the state flag? Makes sense.
They’ll be changing the state flag before too long, as well. About time.
Might in fact be time to change the state flag of Mississippi, but if I was a legislator in Mississippi, I’d be floating a bill this morning to cut off all funding to the school until the flag was flying again or the legislature had time to get together to change the flag and the new one was flying…
Exactly. You don’t take money from a state government then turn around and stomp on the current flag of the state. I’ve got no problem if they try to change the flag, but removing it from the campus while still taking government money seems wrong.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy
Let us live to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on
Oh, sorry, just humming the new Old Miss fight song.
So will the American flag come down next?
once again mississippi has bailed us out again, they are last in the nation on the flag issue
Yeah, be have Dylan!!!
Good Lord! Mississippi has grown up, grown sane? It is the End Times!
We did it first, that makes us winners.
Change your culture too much Ole Miss and watch the interest in you plummet. I mean, other than learning in a proudly and defiantly Southern setting, why would anyone want to attend Ole Miss? There are so many other colleges with better reputations and in better places. Thus, lose your niche if you’d like; however, don’t complain when your beautiful student population decides to go elsewhere to seek its desired “Southerness”.
Better late than never!
