Black judge removes Mississippi flag with Confederate emblem from court

[ProudModerate2]

Normally, in any court room, there is always the state and US flag somewhere in the room.
What are your thoughts on this ? Is it proper for a judge to do this ?

Good man, hopefully other judges will start doing the same.

Yes, the Confederacy and it's leaders were all traitors. And pretty despicable ones, too.

Oh dear. God has a plan behind my judicial agenda. It's like the liberal Roy Moore.

These were my thoughts even before I read that craziness. His statements about the flag removal were designed to be bait that would trigger keyboard warriors into starting flame wars in the comments sections of news articles.

Not that I care if he removes confederate icons from his court as a political statement.

[TheSaint250]

I feel like since it's a state court they should keep the flag. I disagree with the use of the confederate battle flag and hope it changes but I think they should leave the state flag. If it were solely a confederate battle flag, then definitely not

[TheSaint250]

But yeah to add on to the confederacy bashing, f*** the confederacy

[OSR stands with Israel]

Traitor.

Actually it was the confederates who were traitors , remember they were the ones who seceded and fought a war with America because they no longer wanted to be part of it .

I think all of you non-Mississippians are missing the point here. This shouldn't be a national news story. The state flag has come down all over the state in the last decade.

In predominately black areas, and in well-educated predominately white areas (the college towns, Coast, and Jackson suburbs), the state flag is nowhere to be found. Colleges don't fly it. Schools don't fly it. City Halls don't fly it. County courthouses don't fly it. Airports don't fly it. Businesses that fly U.S. flags don't fly it.

Clarksdale is a majority black city in the Delta. How the hell was there still a state flag up there in 2017? Sure, a lot of rural mostly white counties still display it at government buildings, but that may have been the last one left in the Delta. Why it took until now for the national news to pick up on this is beyond me.

There is a flag store in Northeast Jackson on I-55 that flies a whole bunch of flags in front of it, including a state flag. That's probably the only one on a pole I've seen in years. Granted, I don't venture out into the rural areas very often, but still. We have a consultant who comes in at work several times a year for a week and last time he and I were talking about flags for some reason, and he asked what Mississippi's looks like. I was sheepishly like "uh ... you don't know?" and showed him this webpage, and he was flabbergasted. Despite having spent over 100 nights in Mississippi and driven by plenty of post offices, courthouses, government buildings, etc., he'd never seen the flag before.

Cucks.

Mississippi needs to evict the legacy of the Confederacy from its flag -- or authorize an alternative that does not include a symbol. I'm guessing that the Confederate flag to most blacks is about as offensive as a hammer-and-sickle emblem to non-Communists with bad memories of Commie rule.

Courtrooms are appropriately austere in their decorations.  What would I tolerate if I were a judge?

Portraits of Washington and Lincoln
the Flag of the United states
the State flag (but only if it has no symbols of the Confederacy)
a county flag
a city flag
words identifying the courtroom as a generic title "22nd Superior Court of the State of..."

No religious symbols.
No portrait of anyone other than Washington or Lincoln -- including mine.
Not even my Bar Association accreditation

I want a neutral courtroom, and that is how it remains neutral.

Seriously?
