Mississippi needs to get serious about it's future.

Mississippi is sadly removed from the loyalty to the rest of America. The state flag says it all. Hyde-Smith is as much a bigot as she is believed to be. She was raised as a segregationist and there is simply no doubt she is more of the old establishment and less of the future of the state.

Mississippians should be ashamed of their confederate identity. She should never be in the US Senate. I am surprised this is the reality of Mississippi in 2018. She is not qualified to be Mississippi's Senator. She is a segregationist and in that she is unable to discern the best interest of the people of Mississippi.

I don't know how many years I have cited Mississippi as the state with the deepest poverty in the USA. There is a reason and it is the Mississippi establishment. They have to be replaced. That won't happen as long as people are shrouded with the Confederate flag. This US Senate election can be the first time Mississippi takes a step forward rather than maintaining the old ways.

President Trump is only interested in numbers in the US Senate, not the people of Mississippi, otherwise, a change would have already occurred in a way that can be measured.

A top Mississippi Republican (click here) lawmaker has called on the Confederate battle flag emblem to be removed from the state’s flag.

Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn took a stand against the rebel flag imagery on Monday, the first time a state Republican has called for its removal, according to a report from the Clarion-Ledger.

But even after the groundswell of support for removing the rebel flag from South Carolina’s statehouse grounds after the mass shooting in Charleston, there has still been resistance among prominent Mississippians....

Mississippi has been locked in poverty for decades. The Mississippi establishment must be rejected going forward when elections raise the opportunity to change the course of Mississippi.
