BILOXI, Mississippi (Reuters) – A Mississippi proposal to issue a state license plate honoring a Confederate general believed to be a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan has stirred protest and resurrected the state's ugly racial past.

To make it worse, this is the only individual they plan to honor, the rest refer to battles or Confederate veterans.  The next thing they should do is change their motto.  "Mississippi: We Still Don't Get It."  I do not believe that the darker aspects of the Civil War should be lost to history.  Like it or not, believe what you want, these acts happened and to forget them is to deny the victims their due.  However, in no possible way is this a good way to show progression.  Here's hoping Governor Barbour has an idiot filter.  It's gonna take a big one to catch this much stupid.
