The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 240: Not Much Chance for Us in Mississippi Lawsuit

From the April 12, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Confederate emblem 'anti-American,' judge in flag case says.  (Loss)  Federal District Judge Carlton Reeves in Jackson, Mississippi, says that the flag represents those who fought to leave the United States.  Carlos Moore, a black Mississippi lawyer filed a lawsuit against the state asking to declare the Mississippi flag an unconstitutional relic of slavery.  The judge is also black.  Sure not much of a chance of this not going through.  A fair judge makes a statement like that and it isn't going to be very fair.

Mississippi has had the flag since 1894.  A 2001 referendum voted to keep the flag.

**  Dixie State to reveal new, non-Rebel mascot Monday.  (Dixie State University in Utah)  (Loss)  They have "retired" the old moniker Rebels and their symbol.  They will now be known as the Trailblazers and represented by Brooks the Bison.
