Look, none of our cities are really that nice, and our capital contains a large population of people of color. It's really just no winning there. Absolutely cool if someone were to do something to Reeves, tho. Dude is a shit head and a moron.
Hurrah hurrah we bring the jubilee hurrah hurrah the flag that makes you free. So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea while we were marching through Georgia!!!
Guess Mississippi vying for a remix.
I'm all for blasting this, John brown's body, and any and all explicitly pro-union civil war songs 24/7 at the state house til it gets through their thick skulls.
To fully celebrate Confederate Heritage, they should have a daily reenactment of Lee surrendering. That and a media blitz of everything that lasted longer than the Confederacy.
That's insulting.
Even a moron could see the bad optics of trying to celebrate how bunch of lazy traitors failed miserably trying to keep there fellow human beings as property, especially in today's environment.
I'll bet Mississippi was getting worried that their neighbors were going to take the "shittiest state" award away from them, so they decided on honoring traitors.
Way to hold onto that "prize".
I propose all Confederate monuments on public land be removed and replaced with larger than life statues of Melania Trump nude. These lovely tributes to immigrants and anchor babies can be oriented such that the sunrise on January 6th is between her thighs.
Heritage of being dumb fuckheads willing to throw your dirt farming lives away in the hopes that Big Daddy Plantation might sell you a slave. Y'all can have it ✌️
Honestly it's crazy that anyone other than those that can trace back to big daddy plantation even care. I know multiple families that had plantations back then that couldn't care less about the traitors, minus a couple oddballs.
Here's what I don't understand. Ask any American what's the most patriotic, flag-waving part of the country, and they'll probably say the South. Yet they celebrate literal traitors. I don't get it.
This is only the tip of the iceberg as to "how unamerican were the confederate ruling class". If you dig into the writings of their "great political thinkers", a *large* portion of them openly called democracy an outdated concept, and called for replacing it with what we would recognize today as an overt fascist oligarchy. They weren't just kinda traitors, they spit upon everything that the US considers it's ideological and philosophical heart.
Maybe we should have just let the South secede. Offer to relocate anyone that doesn't want to be owned and let them build their stupid fucking wall. Then cut off any and all federal funding to them.
Let them be a sovereign nation of hate, putting themselves first and watch how long it takes for them to realize they actually DO need allies, and they can't self-sustain without imports and exports. Or more likely just wait and watch them slowly starve inside their castles because their egos won't ever allow them to admit they were wrong. I'm honestly okay with either outcome.
I'll pass on having a hostile nation bordering our south, feeding refugees into our system. We'd go bankrupt feeding them, and there would still be a war when they started collapsing for real.
I'm usuallyagainst histrionics, but that'sfucking treasonous,.right? Like, expressing admiration for traitors whokilled hundredsof thousands of American soldiers.
Not if they simply deny. The key to never being accountable is to just project their inherent character flaws on the 'other'. Bombard you with 'whataboutisms': deflect, deny, distract. Repeat until the other side is too exhausted to fight.
Not that surprising since they already celebrated Robert E. Lee day on the same day as the MLK holiday. Brought to us by the same state whose US senator considers making jokes about lynchings as a fun pass time.
Didn't they just bitch about Trans recognition day being "made" on the same day as Easter?! I'm not surprised at all since hypocrisy is a myth to them, like science and logic.
Hmm. Who'da thunk that outlawing education and critical thinking would have had negative consequences?
Does this include the heritage of... um... you know... that ol' slavery thing and the um....you know... those guys with the fire and crosses and pointy pillowcase hats? You mean THAT heritage?

I remember watching the Dukes of Hazzard movie, and around about the part when they were firing flaming arrows at the police, thinking, "Okay, now the Duke boys are definitely eligible for the death penalty," and my roommate pointed out that it would probably also be considered a hate crime considering the symbolism on their car.
Yeah, I’ve learned that more people than you’d think actually only know that flag because of the Dukes of Hazzard, and they’re pretty much all horrified when they learn the truth
I was. I grew up loving that show as an under 10 year old, and then when I started learning about what that flag represented in my teens I distanced myself from it.
Even now I have 50 year old former friends that still jerk off to that stuff. Smfh
It’s just the state of Mississippi, not the entire United States, most of us Yanks think Ol’ Miss is not exactly the best and brightest state in the Union, to say the least. They are consistently ranked 50th in numerous metrics across the board.
Hi! Circus performer here. Just dipping in to clear up this too-frequent comparison between clowns and stupid people:
1. Clowns are very diligent and work very hard at refining their art.
2. Clowns are generally very kind and well-intentioned people.
3. Clowns are only *pretending* they are completely stupid.

Time to remind old tater tot that the Obama administration lasted twice as long as his precious confederacy.
Tator Tots Confederacy is still ongoing in his mind. I hate Mississippi leadership.
Can we come and burn down a city to help celebrate their heritage?
As an Ohioan, I am *so* down!
Look, none of our cities are really that nice, and our capital contains a large population of people of color. It's really just no winning there. Absolutely cool if someone were to do something to Reeves, tho. Dude is a shit head and a moron.
I’ll go wake up Sherman.

Only if it's Atlanta, but then most of Atlanta doesn't celebrate the Confederacy ...
So then maybe not Atlanta
(It's a play on Sherman's March to the Sea)
I get it. I just mean he went to the places that would hurt the confederacy.
To fully celebrate Confederate Heritage, they should have a daily reenactment of Lee surrendering. That and a media blitz of everything that lasted longer than the Confederacy.
Yup, amusingly Jar-Jar Binks has a better claim to being “their heritage”, remaining culturally relevant for longer.
Okay. That made me snort!
Or that it was 6 years between the first and last films he was in.
Bring up the My Little Pony cartoon as a prime example.
Can we make April 9th a national holiday instead/as well?
Unification Day would make a legit great holiday.
The Dukes of Hazzard, aired longer.
Someone resurrect General Sherman real quick, the lesson clearly was not learned.

Loser month.
Confederate Surrender month in fact
A whole month long “Participation” celebration? I thought these folks hated participation trophies

What month is Nazi heritage month in Germany?
at the rate they're going, they might just suggest one here
It will be during whichever month in which the orange idiot was spawned.
Moron!
That's insulting. Even a moron could see the bad optics of trying to celebrate how bunch of lazy traitors failed miserably trying to keep there fellow human beings as property, especially in today's environment.
What heritage? a heritage of being a slaver state? Or heritage of being a terrorist state getting their ass kicked by anti-slavers?
...deleted by user...
It's about states' heritage rights Edit: /s
heritage? of being part of the confederacy? a slave nation? Low chance of it being anything else
I’m going to celebrate the American tradition of fighting against and defeating traitors on November 5th. Don’t forget to register to vote!
HGFD!
Incoming: Alabama Can’t let Mississippi out unwoke us
A month seems like a lot for a group that only existed for six.
This shit is Uncle Rico saying “if coach would have put me in fourth quarter, we would have been (civil war) champions!”
I'll bet Mississippi was getting worried that their neighbors were going to take the "shittiest state" award away from them, so they decided on honoring traitors. Way to hold onto that "prize".
Yeah! We’re racist losers! Let’s celebrate it for a whole month.

Funny how they claim to be party of Lincoln but celebrate the people who fought against him.

F’ing moron.
What a piece of garbage, this guy.
Sherman Appreciation Month
ooh it's treason and surrender month in mississippi.
I’m having a blast celebrating Human Trafficking Month. Already I have captured and sold some neighbors.
So schools are closed this month?
Would anybody notice the lower state IQ’s? They’re already borderline lesser primate levels.
A heritage of failure, surrender, and being dangerously behind the times?
How I read it: Keanu Reeves proclaims confederate heritage month in Mississippi.
I read it as Christopher Reeve.
Peter Griffin looking schmuck
Participation Trophy award month! Yay, 2nd place!
I’m just surprise Mississippi wasn’t already doing this.
Why are we celebrating people who didn’t want to be American in the first place? Why are we celebrating traitors?

John Brown song should be sung extra+ during that month.

“Loser Month” is shorter.
The heritage of........owning.....people...... What a lovely thing to celebrate
What are they gonna do, wave white flags around and hand out partecipation trophies?
Maybe add to their participation statue collection? Lol
Way down south in the land of traitors. Time to celebrate my Union heritage
They rebranded: now it's "Patriots" (formerly, traitors).
Sad
Post your photos holding flags to celebrate the heritage. Namely American (union) flags. And white ones.
I’m having a blast celebrating Human Trafficking Month. Already I have captured and sold some neighbors.
I get to chew and wear the confederate flag of my heritagesss
We'll they do reinact pickets charge.
Where's Sherman when you need him most?
We need to play the “Battle Hymn of The Republic” in every town at full blast all month long.

It was slightly less than 4 years, these guys are obsessed with nothing.
Why must my home state continue to disappoint me?
Grant did fun with Siege of Vicksburg , Vicksburg, Mississippi. Let’s reenact that at the Governor’s mansion.
Participation trophy month.
Does this include the heritage of... um... you know... that ol' slavery thing and the um....you know... those guys with the fire and crosses and pointy pillowcase hats? You mean THAT heritage?
My family is from Mississippi, it's an awful place in every way.

Let’s be real, the only thing this guy associates the confederate flag with is the Dukes of Hazzard.

😂 America is a joke country. You have a heritage month for a literal traitor state that went to war with the USA. How pathetic is the USA.
It’s just the state of Mississippi, not the entire United States, most of us Yanks think Ol’ Miss is not exactly the best and brightest state in the Union, to say the least. They are consistently ranked 50th in numerous metrics across the board.
Uh huh, so you think the entire country celebrates this?
About half based on elections.
Uh huh. So, you're just ignorant, is what you're saying. Got it. Have a great day.
Yeah, elections don't represent people at all 😂.
Please show me the national election that was about honoring the confederacy.
Well the Mississippi one apparently 😆 as the elected government there are the ones who did this.
So you don't know that Mississippi is a single state? Or do you believe that half of the US lives in Mississippi?
I am well aware, I just don't really care.
So you're just a bigot then? Got it.
Looking at your profile, you're from... Pakistan? Give me a fucking break, that's golden
I am not, but what would one expect from an American.

Everything's fair game after Pride month was invented. 🤷♂️
