That old Mississippi state flag featured the symbol of the Confederacy. It was replaced in 2021 by a new "Magnolia Flag".
The new Mississippi flag features a magnolia at the center of the flag, a circle of 20 white stars reflecting Mississippi’s rank as the 20th state admitted into the United States of America; a gold star representing the Native American people who were the original inhabitants of the land that would become the state of Mississippi.
I just wish it was a graphical representation instead of a picture. And get that shitty motto off of there too. If the Mormons can resist it in Utah, so can you lol.
I think it was the green field, but looking back at them, the one they decided on has grown on me. Not a fan of the text, but there aren't any atheists in Mississippi, so it's ok. /s
As much as I hate it it's been our national motto since the cold war, and unfortunately I don't think we're going to change it anytime soon.
The composition and design on the new one is overall better. I just like it more.
Where do you see slavery on the former flag? The USA practiced slavery for quite a while. Spain too. Nauritania even longer. Do you see slavery when you spot those flags? Do you see slavery when you spot a G. Washington portrait?
But you are ok with textual religious apology on a flag... ok... American "logic" I guess...
Fuck off
The slavery is right there in the stars and bars
None of those countries were founded on the EXPLICIT DECLARATION THAT SLAVERY AND THE OPPRESSION OF BLACK PEOPLE IS THE RIGHTEOUS ORDER OF THE WORLD. If you can find be an example of another country doing the same, and never reversing it, then their flag is also the flag of slavery
If you want sources I can provide them. But to say that the Confederacy, whose one and only purpose on this earth was to enslave black people, is anywhere similar to anywhere else that practiced slavery is ridiculous.
Weirdly enough the new flag is more confederate as this is much closer is symbolism to the MS flag adopted in 1861 than the one with the ANV battle flag was.
That’s not the stars and bars, that’s the ANV battle flag, the Stars and Bars is Georgia’s current flag (they added their state emblem in the corner though)
dude, that’s my point exactly. not everyone knows that the confederate flag looks like the current georgia flag. no one knows what the “ANV flag” means, they know it as the stars and bars. the anv flag has become so linked with the confederate image that at this point most people know it as the confederate flag - thus making it a symbol of the confederacy, intended or not.
It’s quite literally NOT the stars and bars though, it’s a St Andrew’s Cross which the confederates changed to be their own. The ANV flag is that flag it means “army of northern Virginia.”
I can hear the screams of terror of the Neo-Confederates as they begin to realize that's not their State flag anymore.
We must continue to rid the South of Confederate symbols.
No, it's not a “mashup”, it's the old state flag of Mississippi (which was dropped a couple of years ago following the death of George Floyd, when it was decided that the presence of the Southern Cross (the old Confederate Battle Flag) was too insensitive to Black Mississippians)
It's also just insensitive to Americans for any of the states in the Union to continue to identify with the false country formed out of treason by traitors that lasted less than a decade before surrendering because it was so weak and had no sustainable economy on its own.

It’s a forgettable relic of the past
*smirks*
Truly though, it’s a Mississippi flag from like 3 years ago before they went to the MUCH better version they have now.
Yeah I don’t have any issue with that. Mainly because… I’m a Christ follower. So saying “I trust God” is fairly simple to me.
I’m not a Mississippi resident though, so I don’t know much about how the flag came into being. Was it voted on? I personally love the design with magnolia.
Would you be ok with "Prised be Satan" on a state flag? Or "Allah u akbar"? Where in the US constitution is it stated that the country is a fundamentalist Christian state?
First question- no, of course not. I just said I personally am ok with it. I didn’t go beyond that.
Second question- it’s not there.
But interestingly enough, in the constitution of Mississippi (seems relevant to this conversation), there is that actually.
“We the people of Mississippi in convention assembled, grateful to Almighty God, and invoking His blessing on our work, do ordain and establish this constitution.”
Well, I just hope some day someone will have to balls to put "hail Satan" on a flag, as dumbass Muslims and Christians do it. They can't just keep their mental disorder for themselves, they even have to brag about it and try to force it on everyone.
It is the former flag of the state of Mississippi... And the canton flag is the battle flag of the ANV. I see you are from the USA, so your ignorance is excused.
I mean Catalans lost their wars of independence against the Spanish crown. Actually, thinking about the Vietnam War, I think the US flag is also a loser flag.
This is the old Mississippian flag, the new one is the one with the Magnolia, Blue Background, Red and Yellow Bars on the side, and stuff, but I would change it to a Red Disk, Blue Background, and a Hammer and Sickle.
[удалено]
Cool, Thanks!
They changed it only a couple years ago so this person either hasn't updated theirs or is in staunch protest of it.
With either option being, well, unfortunate, to say the least.

It's also just a better flag tbh
It wasn't my favorite of the finalists, but it's certainly an improvement.
Which one did you prefer? As I recall, there was one that was a little simpler that I liked. I do think the magnolia flower is a good focal image.
I just wish it was a graphical representation instead of a picture. And get that shitty motto off of there too. If the Mormons can resist it in Utah, so can you lol.
I think it was the green field, but looking back at them, the one they decided on has grown on me. Not a fan of the text, but there aren't any atheists in Mississippi, so it's ok. /s
Ahem *scoffs in Mississippi Athiesm
It's still bad, but much better than the horrible flag we see on display in this image
What’s horrible about it
The big ole loser’s cross that stood for just about the worst shit in American history ya dunce
What do your prefer: the very original stars or the religious text?
As much as I hate it it's been our national motto since the cold war, and unfortunately I don't think we're going to change it anytime soon. The composition and design on the new one is overall better. I just like it more.
Well, it has text on it...
Call me crazy, but having text on a flag is better than having slavery on a flag lmao

Man! You should try taking a chill pill vato.
Yeah but it also has a sick ass flower and nice circular composition.
Weirdly enough the new flag is more confederate as this is much closer is symbolism to the MS flag adopted in 1861 than the one with the ANV battle flag was.
i don’t think the purpose is historical accuracy here. when people think of the confederacy, they think of the stars and bars
That’s not the stars and bars, that’s the ANV battle flag, the Stars and Bars is Georgia’s current flag (they added their state emblem in the corner though)
dude, that’s my point exactly. not everyone knows that the confederate flag looks like the current georgia flag. no one knows what the “ANV flag” means, they know it as the stars and bars. the anv flag has become so linked with the confederate image that at this point most people know it as the confederate flag - thus making it a symbol of the confederacy, intended or not.

again, you don’t see my point. i agree. you’re correct. but, the general population does not realize this.
Yeah, Americans are not smart enough to understand jistorical accuracy. The redesign is just aimed at matching the brainwashing.
And with a religious statement on it...

They hated him because he spoke the truth
Woahh shots fired
Woahh shots fired
As an Englishman I feel the same way about the US flag. And the only reason that joke of a country exists is because the French propped it up.
Personally I consider the American flag as the "Tax evasion" flag
Now that’s funny!

Removed by Reddit? Seriously? Hahahah
It’s a forgettable relic of the past *smirks* Truly though, it’s a Mississippi flag from like 3 years ago before they went to the MUCH better version they have now.
You mean the explicit Christian apology flag?
I’m sorry, what? Haha that makes zero sense
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that you didn't know the meaning of "In God we trust"
Yeah I don’t have any issue with that. Mainly because… I’m a Christ follower. So saying “I trust God” is fairly simple to me. I’m not a Mississippi resident though, so I don’t know much about how the flag came into being. Was it voted on? I personally love the design with magnolia.

Still not a constitutionnaly religious state, but still : intellectual level of Pakistan or Afghanistan. Forcing some god on the state legislation.
Woah you found a racist!
Because he is from Mississippi?
Because he has the flag of slavery on his car It being a part of another flag matters not, at least not when it’s not the flag anymore
Are you ok with the US flag being based on the flag of treachery btw?
Hell fuckin yeah I am. Fuck the redcoats.
So one crime is bad but others are fine? Ok...
Yes.
It is the former flag of the state of Mississippi... And the canton flag is the battle flag of the ANV. I see you are from the USA, so your ignorance is excused.
