Mississippi students demand state flag be removed from campus because ‘it’s offensive’

Students at Mississippi State University (MSU) protested outside of the president’s office Wednesday, demanding the state flag be taken down from its post on campus because of its depiction of the confederacy’s saltire.

“Take it down! Take it down!” protesters shouted while simultaneously chanting the battle cry of Black Lives Matter: “No justice! No peace!”

Although the primary goal of the protest was to combat some of the historical connotations of Mississippi’s state flag, students promised to submit a list of several other demands to MSU’s president.

“It’s offensive to minorities and African-Americans but it states in the secession letter that they fought in the war and that the flag represents slavery, oppression to African Americans and minorities, and it does not represent us as a whole,” NAACP chapter president Wilbern Smith explained in a video obtained by Campus Reform.
