They came a second time when the University decided to rename Confederate Drive and Coliseum Drive after some advice from outside sources that said the University's reputation and future revenue streams were suffering because of it.

They came a third time when the student body petitioned the Associated Student Body for the removal of the state flag because it bears the Confederate Flag as apart of it.

This is the same KKK that rallied to protest the removal of the Confederate Flag over the South Carolina Statehouse.

No matter what your political affiliation is, I think we can all agree that Ku Klux Klan has a history of racism, hate, violence, and fear mongering that cannot be ignored, reformed, or changed. Anyone who chooses to associate with the KKK implicitly agrees to be associated with this grisly history. These are the same people that believe that the Confederate flag should be a symbol that flies over the South until the end of days. I urge you to not be someone who recites the rhetoric of a political party, your parents, friends, or co-workers. I urge you to think for yourself; observe how people react on both sides of this issue; listen to how the flag makes people feel. Speaking of feelings, I personally feel that the flag is a symbol of a defeated rebellion no one who considers themselves an American citizen can hold allegiance to it.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
That Republic defeated the Confederacy. As an American I am apart of that Republic, not the Confederacy. For those of you who continue to revere and support the symbols of a forlorn rebellion consider me your enemy. I am an American citizen and a proud Mississippian. The South will rise again, but not THAT South. THAT South is dead. THAT South is defeated. The South that will rise again is MY South. MY South is the one who speaks out against ignorance. MY South is the South that wants to educate its people so that we can rise together instead of off the backs of one another. That is MY South. That is MY Mississippi. That is the future that I want to be apart of, and hopefully you will join me, because if you're not apart of the solution, you're apart of the problem.
