Heritage Of Hate Honored In
Ancient Mississippi Tradition

Gov. Reeves Declares Confederate Heritage Month, A 30-Year-Old Mississippi Tradition
Reeves’ ties to the Sons of Confederate Veterans stretch back long before his time
as governor. In 2013, he spoke to the SCV national gathering in Vicksburg, Miss.,
in front of a massive Confederate battle flag and in a room decorated with smaller
Confederate flags and cotton plants. After then-Lt. Gov. Reeves congratulated the
organization for “keeping history for our youth,” speakers defended the
Confederate “cause” and compared “Yankees” to German “Nazis” in World War II.
These fucking losers had their asses handed to them on 9 April 1865. 168 yrs. ago. Then in 1993, when a Democrat was President for the first time in 12 yrs., this bullshit started. Are these shitheels that proud of their perpetual status as one of the worst two or three states of fifty? Or is it O.K. by y'all because at least the darkies get as little as possible of the tax money your state leeches from America's hard-working blue state taxpayers?

This seems to be bullshit intended for the hardest core of cracker creeps, as the Goobernators of Mississippi don't arse themselves making their little proclamations public on their own.
The group has posted Reeves’ proclamations annually since 2021; the R.E. Lee Camp 239 SCV Facebook group posted the 2020 proclamation. Without SCV groups posting the proclamations and the Jackson Free Press and Mississippi Free Press reporting on them, they could have gone unnoticed as they did before 2016; neither the governor nor any other state official publicizes the proclamations or posts them on any state websites or social-media pages.

Reeves defended issuing the proclamations in 2021.

“For the last 30 years, five Mississippi governors—Republicans and Democrats alike—have signed a proclamation recognizing the statutory state holiday and identifying April as Confederate Heritage Month,” he said in a statement to WAPT at the time. “Gov. Reeves also signed the proclamation because he believes we can all learn from our history.”

Just as long as that history doesn't say anything about slavery or racism, right Tater?
It never ends.You should read it all. Mississippi Free Press.

I'm dern proud of Tate Reeves taking time out of his busy schedule of eatin' hog balls and helping Brett Favre steal millions of dollars of TANF to declare his continued support of Treason in the defense of Slavery.
