Mississippi Pride - Reader comments at The New York Sun: "Submitted by Ruth, Nov 13, 2006 22:54

First I will say thank you New York Sun for the well written editorial that appeared to come to Mississippi's defense while excusing Rangel's insulting slur against us. The comment about Mississippi not having pride stirred my anger. We are very proud people who recently took quite a lashing from Katrina and are still struggling to rebuild. Many states have come to our aid…. New York is one of them and we are appreciative. Personally, I was beginning to feel that we had finally been accepted as a state in the USA as we were often referred to as that part of the world. Yes we are insulted by Rangel's comment but our anger has been put aside to attend to a much more important issue .. rebuilding our lives! We are proud, we are determined and we will again rise from the rubble and continue living in our beloved state.
