After Tommy Tubberville asked the students not to bring confederate flags to the game, this is how they responded:

Changing the flag is a step in the right direction, but

That's not gonna stop the crazies from still having it. Like in the video posted, flag or no flag some idiot will still bring it and wave it behind corso on game day. That will probably happen more often now.

outsiders think we're racist down here, not just because we have a battle flag, but because they read the articles about a noose being put on a James Merideth statue in Oxford, or a "crunchy mike" video making it to YouTube from the grove or the burning of an Obama sign after his reelection in Oxford or hearing about a clan rally in on the campus in Oxford...hell maybe Oxford is the problem?

but we should still change the flag.

Look away, look away.

I see sticks.

Ol' Pine box knew all that wood could be put to better use.

When those pictures were made,

the flags were passed out at the games, like pompoms.

Most shocking part of the first pic is at least 5 dudes not wearing a dress shirt with tie. They must have been the ones passing out the free flags. And my hat is off to the d-bag in the 2nd pic with the extra large flag, celebrating his extra large heritage.

I think the Rebel M flag is racist too.

They need to stop living in the racist past. The Civil War was been over for 150 years.
It's a know fact that Ole Miss refers to the wife of a slave plantation's owner.
And that Rebels refers to the Confederate soldiers.

It's time to change the name and it's coming, this flag debate will only expedite the change.

Just look at what the Rebelettes used to wear. Shouldn't they change that name too?

Are you really going to keep this up? We get it. Is this the new Mullen hasn't beaten a top twenty team thing for you to mercilessly beat into the ground?

Hey fishwater, remember when you wrote this:

[Blacks] don't want to be equal they want to have an advantage over the white crackas. They are entitled to this because their relatives were slaves and taken advantage of, they want reparations any way they can get them

Why is it the same ones who love to play the race card always seem to have such interesting opinions on race relations?

You're not going soft on us about the Rebels these days, are you?

17 stars. So the flag says 17 Ole Miss.

The 2nd pic was taken in either 1991 or 1992. Not during the Tuberville era.

Actually I don't..

But, I would not doubt that there are a small number of African Americans that do feel that way.
I am not a bigot and I assure you that anyone who knows me would agree.
If I have ever said or done something that has offended anyone, then I would like to apologize.
In the past few years I have grown significantly in my christian faith, and this article sums up my feelings on race and the flag.

“As a Christian, I believe our state’s flag has become a point of offense that needs to be removed.”

"Be a church that renounces the sins of the past by relentlessly affirming, through word and deed, the dignity and significance of our African-American siblings in Christ. Let’s act like the family we claim to be."
