Mississippi license plate proposed to honor KKK leader

Imagine a licence plate on your car that honors a KKK leader? Like this guy to the left.

That's what some in Mississippi are trying to bring about.

Let's keep in mind these are the same folks who have a state university with a mascot that is the "Rebels" and that still flies the "bars and stars" (like the rebel flag to the left) at sporting events.

Yes, it is their history. Yes, it is their culture. I get that.

But it is also offensive to a great number of people.

And the license plate obviously goes too far.

It's even worse than those stupid bumber stickers saying "The South will rise again."

What exactly does that mean, anyway? And how will we know when that happens?

When slaves are working in the fields again?

I think when Texas finally secedes from the nation, they should take Mississippi with them.
