Mississippi Changes State Flag - Adds Swastika

In response to widespread calls for Mississippi to remove the confederate symbol from it's State flag, the Mississippi legislature voted this week to modify the flag, in use since the end of reconstruction in 1894, agreeing to add a swastika to the lower corner.

"After centuries of slavery, lynchings and Jim Crow, not to mention voting, by a 2/3 margin, in 2001 to keep the flag as it is, you would think our State had done enough to demonstrate that we just don't give a crap what y'all think," said Governor Phil Bryant, "but after the hatred we saw last week directed toward the Confederate Flag, we felt pressured to take this step just to make it crystal clear to the country and the world exactly where the people of Mississippi are coming from."
