White Supremacy Exposed Thread

Was browsing reddit for once and ran into this fact in a thread about Mississippi changing their flag. Someone in the comments posted this trying to bring light to Georgia and what their officials did when they "changed" their flag.

Flag of Georgia (U.S. state) - Wikipedia

In early 1955, Atlanta attorney John Sammons Bell (who later served as a judge on the Georgia Court of Appeals) suggested a new state flag for Georgia that would incorporate the Confederate Battle Flag. At the 1956 session of the General Assembly, state senators Jefferson Lee Davis and Willis Harden introduced Senate Bill 98 to change the state flag. Signed into law on February 13, 1956, the bill became effective the following July 1.

The 1956 flag was adopted in an era when the Georgia General Assembly "was entirely devoted to passing legislation that would preserve segregation and white supremacy", according to a 2000 research report by the Georgia Senate. There are few, if any, written records of what was said on the Georgia House and Senate floors when the 1956 flag bill was being introduced and passed by the Georgia legislature, nor does Georgia law provide for a statement of legislative intent when a bill is introduced, although former U.S. congressman James Mackay, one of the 32 House members who opposed the change, later stated, "There was only one reason for putting the flag on there: like the gun rack in the back of a pickup truck, it telegraphs a message."[4] Additionally, the 2000 report concluded that the "1956 General Assembly changed the state flag" during "an atmosphere of preserving segregation and resentment" to the U.S. government's rulings on integration.[4] The changed flag was seen as a "gesture of defiance in the face of the federal government's initial enforcement of Brown vs. Board of Education (1954)."[5]

n 2002, Sonny Perdue was elected Governor of Georgia, partially on a platform of allowing Georgians to choose their own flag in a state referendum. He authorized the Georgia legislature to draft a new flag in 2003.[11]
The Georgia General Assembly's proposed flag combined elements of Georgia's previous flags, creating a composition that was inspired by the First National Flag of the Confederacy, the Stars and Bars, rather than the Confederate Battle Flag. Perdue signed the legislation into law on May 8, 2003.[12]
The 2003 flag legislation also authorized a public referendum on which of the two most recent flags (the 2001 and 2003 versions) would be adopted as the flag of the state; the 1956 flag was not an option. The referendum took place during the state's March 2, 2004 presidential primary election. If the 2003 flag was rejected, the pre-2001 design would have been put to a vote.[13] The 2003 design won 73.1% of the vote in the referendum.[14]

While looking up that stuff I found these facts on Trenton, Georgia. Makes it sound like such a great city.... :| .Need to put pressure on the elected officials and their bitch ass flag.

The city flag of Trenton, Georgia, United States, was adopted in 2001 as a protest following the change of the state flag of Georgia. The flag has been controversial because it incorporates the Confederate Battle Flag.

In 1956, the state of Georgia changed its flag to largely feature the Confederate battle flag as part of a protest against desegregation.[1] In 2001, the Georgia General Assembly voted to change the flag, relegating the location of the Confederate flag to a greatly reduced place on the state flag. The city of Trenton opposed this new flag. In the same year, the city's commissioners voted to adopt the former state flag as the city's flag as a protest, which became official in 2002.[2] The State of Georgia had stated that it would withdraw funding for any municipality that refused to fly the new state flag and continued to fly the old one.[3] Trenton circumvented this when they adopted the flag by altering the former state flag by adding "City of Trenton" and "Incorporated 1854" to it. It also flew the new Georgia state flag and the flag of the United States along with the city flag in keeping with the state regulations.[3]
The change was not universally supported, and in 2004 the new mayor of Trenton, Anthony Emanuel, removed it. However following objections from the Sons of Confederate Veterans that the flag represented their heritage,[4] a referendum was held in 2005. The city's residents voted 278–64 to keep the city flag.[5]

The real issue with these trillion and billion dollar racist corporations is they do meaningless gestures instead of giving black american business owners, farmers,security tech companies contracts etc. Also they use these meaningless gestures to not payback what they owe to the black american families they've harmed for decades, we gotta make sure black americans alone get paid from these racist corporations.
