Walmart removes Mississippi state flag from display in stores

Rev. Bernice King says Brooks was killed in a city that's home to "civil and human rights"Rev. Dr. Bernice King makes a fist saying‚ no justice no peace‚ while speaking at Rayshard Brooks funeral in Ebenezer Baptist Church on June 23 in Atlanta. Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/AP/Pool

The Rev. Bernice King said it was especially troubling that Rayshard Brooks was killed in a city that is home to “civil and human rights." “This happened in the city that has been known as the black mecca. This happened in the city whose grounds are known for America and the world warrior of peace, my daddy, Martin Luther King, Jr, who taught us that true peace is not merely the absence of tension but it is the presence of justice. Therefore, there can be no peace in Atlanta nor anywhere in our nation where there is no justice," she said at Brooks' funeral.

That’s so easy to accomplish and I guess everyone feels better about themselves. So what? New York is named after the biggest slave trader in the New World. Anyone care? changeNYtoTUBMAN

Booo

just a opinion! everytime i visit wallmart i feel epicenter of coronavirus, anyone feel same?😅

Dear African Americans, you were brought here hundreds of years ago to be slaves. (This is wrong in the eyes of modern man but right back then.) You were all freed by 1865. This chain of events is literally how you came into existence. Eventually we will come together. Godspeed!

Yeah, but how many Walmart products were made and imported from low wage countries with bad human rights record? How will the future generations judge Walmart? Btw, America was built on colonisation. Should the whole country be disassembled and it’s majority move back to Europe?

👏👏👏

Running scared and afraid it might effect their bottom line. Social conscience ? I think not..

What does CNN not want you to know?

Mississippi, kick Walmart out of your state

JeannieG40 we need to redesign mississipi flag

Idiots

What a beautiful flag. It’s a shame when idiots make idiotic decisions

Wal-Mart doesn't care about anything but taking money from poor ignorant americans. They are rascist and sexist and don't have a problem making fun of all the blacks you see on you tube videos. Because they are still there for all to see.

Looking at the flag, I think Walmart made the right choice. Now, Mississippi needs to design a new flag. RIGHT NOW!

True that

Am I the only ignorant who didn't realize that this was still an actual state flag? I think the pressure should be on the state to actually change it, not on stores to pretend that the state or the problem doesn't exist

Omg so woke!!!!🙄

That is far from the right thing to do... It's hard enough to find a rebel flag now they're removing state flags! Fuck Wal-Mart!

So when are text books history book and classic literature being replaced with “woke” propaganda?

They're just trying to get ahead of the bullet. Who could blame them? Either they make a display of support or get looted.

How much are we gonna change to make them happy?

I think it’s dumb, yep it’s a part of history. You can’t have it all good, and act like the bad never happened. Besides the confederate flag was originally created to show separation from the Union. They can’t two of the same flags and fight in a war. Let’s just remove everything

And good luck to any of these people that say they will boycott Walmart especially in less populated areas 😂😂😂. Walmart has a damn iron grip.

Literally impossible not to piss someone off

Next they will remove all white ppl lol

It is all about $$$

How is this even a flag

Mississippi should just redesign their flag entirely. I mean, it's ugly. Imagine if RuPaul gave this state a FlagMakeover. Heck, a makeover in general would be a good idea.

The Right thing would have been to not allow it in the first place.

USA is losing its mind.

Um what? Why?

why the hell does the USA have a state flag dedicated to slavery and white supremacy? I repeat, why the hell does this even exist?

The exploding heads will be many and amusing.

That’s the right thing to do!

That’s racist!

Bye Bye Walmart

So now walmart is selling out great to know

Please let me know in advance before the book burning starts, I would like time to gather all the History books the Libraries in my area and add them to the pile, the best part is we can make up any History we want based on how we feel and not on Historical Fact, I Love 1984

It was the right thing to do 100 years ago.

meshla the right thing to do would be for Walmart to move out of Mississippi, maybe they could move to their parent company in fucking China 🖕🏻

Damn! Is that the only State Flag like that?

Buwhahaha. Welp... Walmart cured racism. Well done.

Of course. rioters and the CancelCulture are already destroying statues of our Founding Fathers and attempting to erase history. The American flag 🇺🇸 will be next.

Now that is a spark for change, Walmart

So the top brass at Walmart where the ones riding the short buses goes to show anyone can make corporate decisions even if it’s wrong for many reasons but if being pc makes you think your contributing some thing your pissing in the wind and they sent you to college for this MAGA

The radical left are destroying America bit by bit. God protect us.

CNN FakeNews FakePandemic ConfederateMonument

Not pay their employee's a decent wage, but yeah get rid of the flag.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Cannot believe I am applauding Was-Mart but give credit and all that......

“The $$$ right $$$ thing $$$ to $$$ do $$$”

All lives MATTER

“I’ll never shop at Walmart again”

The fact that this is still Mississippi's state is part of whats wrong in the first place

Yay! One more reason to love Walmart!

So what would make it the right thing to do now and not 60yearsago when they first explain it...iodot Racism comes from the mouth of the accuser it's deceptive manipulative is self-destructive consumes the mind of the innocent

I will never understand how people can support that flag when they went against the country they claim they love. And on top of that they lost the war🤣

Yes!

fkn MSM..

Corporate pandering!

The flag has been around since 1894 but in 2020 NOW it’s a problem. 👌

It is.

Egypt_kills_graduates Help us please

Let me go on record laughing hysterically as I admire my beautiful state flag which shouldn’t even count as a flag because it’s a pennant.

Statues are not history. Statues are a symbol. Statues are not history. Statues honor and glorify a historical figure. Statues are not history. When you take down a statue, you do not erase history. When you take down a statue, you reject what the statue represents in the present

Really, they should change the flag.

“Right thing to do” - only changing so we don’t lose a tiny amount of business and more importantly we don’t get vandalized

Mississippi can just remove the confederate part of the flag, Yugoslavia is not using the rest anymore 😎

South Carolina Refuses To Remove Confederate Flag From Capitol TrailerCOLUMBIA, SC—Shooing away protesters from the brown, debris-covered lawn, state lawmakers reportedly refused Monday to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol Trailer. “Go on, git!” said shirtless South Carolina state representative Jeff Duncan, who sources confirmed tossed an empty 40-ounce bottle of Colt 45 at a group of demonstrators while reclining in a battered, dirt-caked plastic kiddie pool. “Y’all quit messing with our capitol trailer. You ain’t never gonna see this flag come down, you hear? Now, get on outta here unless you wanna get real well acquainted with my shotgun.” At press time, a two-thirds majority of South Carolina state legislators had reportedly passed out amongst the rusted washing machine and a sink on the grass in front of the state’s double-wide trailer.
