To the pure State person, I can see where they would say this is ridiculous that they are even giving this a notion. They wouldn't do the same for us,so screw em.It's too contraversial to even bring up. The media, the backlash, the old memories. It all comes with whatever perception you choose to associate with it. Now, let me give another perspective and probably the reason that this thing will get alot of signatures in all honesty. Most Mississippians, if you were born and raised here will tell you the media will give whatever perception about the state that they want andmost times,it's notan accurate account of things. We're gonna be given a black eye nationally one way or the other. Whether this or another issue. The media couldn't give 2 ***** about the emotions involved. They just want to **** stir. It's been that way for ages.The Jesse Jackson's, the Al Sharpton's, they only **** stir. You never see them actually coming to the aid of this state when it's in need but pounce on any opportunity to make a buck through the media. I understand the theory of thought that if it's divisive, then it's best to do away with it. But I also know what it's like to be from Mississippi and haverelatives, friends, and many many other acquantances who went to Ole Miss, loved colonel reb, and don't have a racist bonein their bodies.
