Would you be happy if your state's flag prominently featured a "rising sun" like the Japanese Navy used during World War II - or a swastika??

Wouldn’t give a shit if they had been using it for over 100 years.

Mississippi adopted their flag in 1894. In 1906 - 12 years later - they repealed a bunch of laws, including the flag law. Their Supreme Court agreed that these are the facts, so that flag does not actually have a firm foundation in law.

This is not about cutting you but exposing the fraud you are.

You’re a clown I post a picture and say nice tree. I didn’t say it was mine. I didn’t imply it was mine. I didn’t take credit for it so tell me dumb ass where is the fraud?
If you post an image that is not yours, you credit it to the person who took it. You did not.
If not, everyone assumes it is yours. You know it, everyone knows it.
Posting stuff from the web and posting it w/o warning at to where it comes from makes you a thief. At first a few were taken until someone realized what went on.

In using your example of the “swastika“ you made a great argument for the need for change. The swastika in the not too distant past was a Plains Native American Symbol for good fortune. Plains states like Nebraska put it on commemorative coins and the WWII 45th Infantry Division from Colorado and Oklahoma (among others) used it as their Division armpatch. Many of the Native Americans in the 45th didn’t like the change from swastika to golden thunderbird (also a Native American symbol), but they, along with others like my father from Chicago had larger issues to face. Getting rid of the Stars and Bars is long overdue and whiners as always can be expected to miss the larger point.

How do you get from comparing the swastika to the stars and bars?

The “Swastika” and the “Stars and Bars” have in common the fact that both were featured on flags used by armies which fought against US forces - the “Swastika” by German troops 1941-1945 and the “Stars and Bars” by Confederate troops 1861-1865.
