Confederate Group In Mississippi Proposes License Plates To Honor KKK Member

[one...two...tree 2,762]

A Confederate group in Mississippi wants to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War ... from now until 2015.

The Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans is proposing a series of license plates to commemorate the war, with a new one being introduced every year, the Associated Press reports.

One of those designs -- slated for a 2014 release -- commemorates Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forest, who served as a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard after the war.

Mississippi state NAACP president Derrick Johnson was not pleased to hear the news.

"He should be viewed in the same light that we view Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden," he said. "The state of Mississippi should deny any vanity tags which would highlight racial hatred in this state."

Why is that? What was the Confederacy all about if not hatred for black people? Embrace your heritage, as evil as it is.

I thought they loved black folk to pick their cotton. They just hated paying wages, that's all.

Wait for one of the regulars here to tell you that it's the same as having a MLK license plate.

Whoever says that probably pines for the days of slavery every time he does the dishes.

Senator Byrd (D) deserves his own plate. He was a member too.

Christians recognizes repentance. At least the real ones do.

But, not forgiveness?

You think building a statue of OBL where the twin towers once stood would be an act of forgiveness? Damn, Bill, those nuns didn't smack you up the side of your head enough.

I thought they were going to honor Robert Byrd. Oh well. Old white Democrats all look the same anyway.

Just words to you?

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

Why are they building a statue of Obama so soon? He is not even dead yet.

Next time you're at Mass. Ask to pray for Satan and perhaps suggest they put a statue of him arm in arm with Jesus. You sure you don't smoke weed?

There is a statue to Nathan Bedford Forrest in Tennessee.
