Why Mississippi should be Removed from the United States
by Actus [footnotes omitted]
1. Mississippi has a long and storied past. Of racism, that is. In the civil rights movement, the state led by example, refusing to register blacks to vote and murdering voting rights activists.
They refused to open their doors of higher education to qualified blacks like and when the Supreme Court ordered him admitted, a racist mob attacked Federal marshals.
Medgar Evers, in a famous example, was a native of Mississippi and a war veteran who tried to register to vote. A Local racist, outraged by this, killed him. The assassin was acquitted twice by sympathetic jurors.
Mississippi was the only state to create a secret spy agency that operated to discredit civil rights workers and actively passed vital information to groups suck as the KKK.
2. But the racist history is all in the past, right? Wrong. The state flag still proudly waves the stars and bars, and was reaffirmed in 2001 by a 2 to 1 margin of voters.
Mississippi is a hotbed for conservative groups promoting "traditional family values", which are a modern vestige of those racist mobs of the 60's. American Family Association, Christians United, Family Pride Coalition.
3. Mississippi was recently ranked as the "worst state for women" in terms of health, economic status, and voting.
4. Mississippi is the fattest state in the nation.
5. Mississippi is one of the dumbest states in the nation.
6. Which makes sense, because they have the worst schools in the nation.
7. It's not even safe to drive there. It ranks number one in traffic deaths.
8. It was recently dubbed the worst state in the nation in which to live".
9. It is the poorest state in the nation.
Clearly, my good friends, Mississippi is a cancer on the United States. They were the second state in the nation to secede at the outset of the Civil War, I say we grant their wishes and cut them free.
I respectfully remain, your devil's advocate,
