Chris Rock's South Carolina Heritage Flag Proposals




The winning design was presented to then South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges.  The flag featured the stars replaced with stars from the WB network.

 In a satire to replace the Confederate Flag, Chris Rock went to the streets of South Carolina to ask people what they think about different flags to replace the Confederate Battle Flag.

This is the Silly Saltine on the blue background flag.
 This is the Malcolm X flag.
 This the odd South Carolina OKKK flag.

Another absurd flag is the OJ Simpson with female Caucasian flag.

Proposals for a New Mississippi State Flag?



 These flags conserve the overall design of the modern Mississippi State Flag.  Instead of the Confederate battle flag you can substitute another non-offensive Southern Heritage symbol - like the Bonnie Blue Flag. This flag takes original design elements, conserves Southern Heritage, and keeps it modern.   
 Here the Southern Crescent is used. Nominally a symbol of South Carolina, but it is also a general symbol of Southern Values.  In this case its meaning can be doubly extended to reflect the new communities of the Islamic South, which in 2015 is an extreme minority.  Also note that an unknown, yet sizable portion of slaves brought over from Africa had Islamic heritage.  The most famous being Kunta Kinte who was popularized in the Roots television series from 1977, played by LeVar Burton and John Amos.
The original Naval Jack of the Confederacy conserves heritage.  It only has seven stars as Mississippi was a part of the Original Southern Seven.  The seven states that left the Union before Lincoln was inaugurated include: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

This flag has a multilateral meaning.  The crescent symbol is related to the South with a smaller Bonnie Blue Star in the upper corner.  But it can also represent the portion of Islamic African immigrants who were forcibly bonded into American service, long before Mississippi was a state.

Also note the Starry Symbolic preserves some of the modern design, but diminishes Southern Heritage Symbols, if not for basic framework of the original flag. 

In the end it is a good bet that the Original Mississippi State flag from 1861 will be chosen.  If the people of Mississippi decide to change their flag it will mostly likely happen on November 6, 2015.  Reason being, it was 150 years from that date that the last in military service and official Confederate Flag was lowered on the CSS Shenandoah, on November 6, 1865, thus putting a final surrender and salute to the legion of heroes who severed in the US Civil War.

Flag for the 13 Colonies Area, East of Georgia


The 13 Colonies Region Flag is a type of historical-geographic flag that represents the Colonial Area East of the Colonial Meridian, which is the most western point of Georgia.  This flag can be flown anywhere east of that line, approximately 85 Degrees West. 

Besides the 13 Original, four other states are in this area: Ohio, West Virginia, Maine and Vermont in addition to Washington DC. 



Flag for Region of the West of the Original 13 Colonies


There are 27 states that are completely west of the Original 13 Colonies, as defined by the western edge of Georgia.  Thus there are 28 stripes on this flag, seven in each bar.  The extra stripe is a fractional stripe that accounts for the states that teeter the line between the Old Colonial East and Western States. 

This flag can be flown in any part of the US west of the 13 Colonies Meridian.

Thirteen Colonies Colonial Meridian Flag


The Thirteen Colonies Colonial Meridian Flag is a type of geographic flag.  It should be flown at 85 Degrees West.  It represents the most western point of the Original 13 Colonies, which is the most western point of Georgia.  An interesting fact is that four states which were not a part of the original 13 are completely east of the most western point of the Original 13; states that are essentially aligned and were vital living parts of the 13 Colonies include Ohio, West Virginia, Vermont, and Maine.  A few states teeter in between the "Original Flavor" and "The Old Frontier".   States that do so are Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida.  Thus these six states can always fly this flag. 

Cities that rest on this meridian include: Bay County, Florida; Auburn, Alabama; Trenton, Georgia; Gruetli-Laager, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Anderson, Indiana; Kalamazoo, Michigan & Grand Rapids, Michigan;
