Pardon my rudeness, but I don't believe you have any idea of the opinions of the people of our state. We don't feel the state flag is a symbol of racism or slavery. It is a symbol we have grown up with and is a part of our heritage as Mississippians. W e don't have a lot to be proud of in this state but our history and heritage is something we have to hold on to. I am an educated federal government employee and not some backwoods, racist, white cracker. I still believe this effort to change our flag is an effort to prove that Mississippi and its residents have been in the wrong for all of these years. Please take a look at the website for USDA, Farm Service Agency in Mississippi and you will see our state flag proudly displayed. I am afraid that this is just a hint of how far away you are from the people of Mississippi. Sincerely, Karen B.
