After a long hiatus, I have returned to Your State Flag Stinks to perform a public service. I am redesigning the Mississippi State Flag, which is the last state flag to still feature the stars and bars of the confederacy. Here is the current Mississippi State Flag.
I love The Dukes of Hazzard as much as anybody, but the canton of this flag is a symbol of racism and secession, and has no business on a flag associated with the United States of America. I know some of you disagree strongly with this point, but you are very, very wrong. Here’s mine.
As you see, I have removed the racism with a reference to the Bonnie Blue Flag, which is merely a symbol of secession, but one that not many people remember. This is a compromise, Mississippi. Take it. I have seen similar proposals with a constellation of 20 stars on the canton, but I wanted to give Mississippi schoolchildren a break from having to draw so many stars. I would like to thank the Mississippi State Legislature in advance for adopting this flag. Please make your check payable to Andy Rash, or use the PayPal button to the right.
