You can change their flag but you cannot change their minds.

Blacks in Mississippi just lost the coveted status as human beings.  But, you know, they have a new flag so that’s an equal trade, I guess.

Gail Welch, an election commissioner in Mississippi, took to Facebook to warn “people” what was coming.

Her first explanation is that this was supposed to be a private comment. On Facebook.

Second comment was that she was just wishing that everybody got out there and registered people like Blacks do. And by everybody she means white people.

And the third comment is that she’s an elected official and she supposes she could have worded it better. Which, if you think about it, would not have taken a lot of effort if you recognized Black people as human beings.

Gail is concerned.

So am I, Gail, so am I.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
