Mississippi State Flag - cannot sell on ebay

[Kajunrook]

Pretty funny that you cannot sell a State of Mississippi Flag on ebay as it is racist.

I think you are referring to the Confederate emblem.

Critics of the state flag say it's racist, while others believe it's a crucial part of the state's history.

These are the same people who want to pretend certain things in US history didn't exist (such as the Civil War) or fail understand them.

I just bought a state flag poster off eBay a few weeks ago for my office (includes MS). I guess it's a violating item.

If they really aren't allowed it's probably just their PR department trying to keep the peace.

You can't change history, nor pretend that it didn't happen. Some people need educating.

Then it was the St Georges Cross. Fly it or wear clothing displaying it and you're a racist and a white supremacist.

Clearly it's only targeted at the English, the Saltire or Welsh Dragon is wholly acceptable, even encouraged.

That's because white racists are the only types to fly a St George's Flag

Unless there's a major football tournament on, of course.

Thanks guys/gals. I'm learning a lot about flags today. I wasn't aware that the St George's Cross Flag is the "flag of England" and the Union Jack Flag is the "flag of the United Kingdom".

I also had no idea that Wales is a country, along with the other 3 that make up the UK.

People are stupid. That's about all I know.

That's the American education system for you

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but not part of Great Britain.

That's more along the lines of what I thought originally. The Google results for "is wales a country" threw me off, I guess.

And by the same way of thinking, Taiwan and Hong Kong are not "technically" countries, but Provinces of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).

It all depends who and where you ask.
