senator jazz standard, he represented during the time of jim crow where they thought that separate but equal was ok is just so important to me. who felt bad over time and through the generations. people change, i'm a hip hop artist. i you so pop when lie in and i respect honoring your ancestors. i honor mine and that's kind of i feel where the clash happens because no one's going to back down from that. but i need you to acknowledge the brutality that was carried out under that banner. and once you can do that, then hopefully a dialogue can begin. and we can come to some sort of agreement because i'd rather have you as my neighbor than my enemy. we deal with a
12:31 am
12:32 am
cemetery, it's not much of a cemetery is just a few grapes. but to me this is what our state flag is a bile. this is why our flag should remain the sign in this was originally just a small family cemetery. the old railroad tracks are in the same place. those or, and they ran from meridian to jackson and own vicksburg. soldiers died on the train ride up here. they didn't even know the names of the soldiers. these are some of the files ins who fall and died and their families
12:33 am
never heard from them again. didn't know where they were buried. what happened to them? this one right here, it says 6 brave soldier, sleep here. and that's kinda feel about it. they were brave. they were honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fault because their home was invited. because there last night, i asked him to come and it was honorable thing to do in with ah, how can you say that when that cause let you say that they fought so nobly for
12:34 am
was girded up by slavery. and you know, the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. this, it goes back almost to our founding in this country that, that the belief that america is a white man. and anybody else who comes here has to back down to the y b as rules. so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about maintaining the status quo. and any kind of change occurs in this country where there is progress made towards diversity. is responded to as it is a threat to the white man. if we're going to change this flag and then some brave
12:35 am
white men are gonna have to stand up and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislature last legislative session. there were 19 bills related to the flag this session there 2002. all of those bills related to change or a means by which we could change the fog have been introduced by african american legislators. they bill for in support of the current state flag. have all been introduced by white male, conservative legislators in 2001. the people in mississippi voted on a flag and 65 percent of the people. ready voted to keep the current flag. well, i don't think we as elected representatives have the right to overturn their decision. now, whether you like it or not, we can argue about that. but the decision was made by the people of mississippi to
12:36 am
keep the current flag. so do you have a personal feeling about the flag? i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any emblem or anything there, that harkins back to the civil war is somehow racist or in support of slavery is just wrong. what we have to do is spend the time to educate every one of what the real history with the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand the real history of the civil war is attractive, but which part of the history confederate heritage supporters argue that the civil war was not fought to free the slaves because abraham lincoln himself said,
12:37 am
so it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the union free and all the slaves, i did that i can preserve the union, but free some slice that i can preserve the union. afraid no slight pat key was reserved. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment a whole name, it was proposed to actually legalize labor. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to not to join, get back in the union, but they denied and they didn't want to have any part of it. all had a better bile with slavery than the cord amendment would fix that. because it stated that the south to perpetuate key is peculiar institution which referred to as labor, if they would not succeed from the union. the core one amendment passed both houses
12:38 am
of congress in 1861 lincoln, in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. and the corps would amendment been adopted before the civil war began. it would have provided a constitutional protection for slavery in the united states. and it would have been the 13th amendment but mississippi made it clear that they seceded to protect slavery, in part because they believed that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat. a requirement for picking cotton and some white mississippians feared that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin. it would lead to something they fear, even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner name william l harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slave holding states in an address to the georgia general
12:39 am
assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man, rejecting them as an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he concluded his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women, and children immolated in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the degradation of civil political and social equality with a race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later, out with our previous president, it was there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a war of a race war. more speak on the wire is really what it was. this isn't a racial thing that my enemies and we don't play for anything racial at all. we were out here where stand for southern pride
12:40 am
that a wife knows it absolutely. with this pros great with donald j trump, i believe that will be able to make sure everybody clearly you just rested because it's like, don't stay in racism. it's just our heritage was set on a table and hash out of a come to an understanding that this is the way we feel, regardless how you feel. you know, the way you feels while you feel would change where we're asking you to change that . we're asking you to come to a place in your life where you can excel what we do as we say up what you do. but the odds of that happening are slim and, and i honestly believe we get freedoms, that styles, rocket gorge. oh wow. i believe people will relax a little more. i invest all rosy colors in religion with her and say flag,
12:41 am
flag of 1894 as a symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 18. 90 mississippi's governor at time. james arden unabashedly stated, mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate from politics. let the world know it just as it is. governor of argument also said, if it is necessary, ev, every oh, in the state will be lamps, and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes you'll hear people say, oh mister sylvia. such a bag replaced. there was no phone bill quite frankly, but you think that's fine, they can stay wherever they are. i liked this boys. if i didn't like mississippi. ready are if you don't white mississippi where you're leaving, i invite you to do the same. find some place where you can be,
12:42 am
i've been raised in the state. and i'd love to see if the people have the n se. if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. map be here for more than a century in that plague deal, what it is to me. no, i was going to take the flag away from you we had on your body on your travel, your car. yara. that's what the 1st amendment gives you, but without, without these dates play, they represent all mississippi and then flag not represent all of them. that's the point i have. everything is changing. and then one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate. the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. and their real aim is, of course, saving their 500 years of their donation and the emitter intermediate,
12:43 am

12:45 am
launched an attack of symbols representing the confederate states of america. after guillory last, donald trump was elected. there were rhymes from new york and we protestors, mostly minorities, can be seen in the demonstrations chance, not a reply to that. maybe. what do you think? what about the answer is on the fly. bear with the numbers. boy, you probably heard a little boy that gave me pain with very what about the people there? a little boy, a c a
12:46 am
b y. right? why? because there's a point of view that said why a long time i met re shores once before. and he said something to me in that conversation i'd heard from other confederate heritage supporters. but ray was the only one who set it on camera. he had said that slavery was it was, it was a natural condition. well, know exactly what i said them. but i remember the interview, the relationship between the slave and the master was an accepted thing. and a, it was, there was a love between them. i wanna make sure i understand what you're saying here is that,
12:47 am
that, that the van to matter all arrange. and you're saying that in the united states in mississippi, that it was a natural fate. slaver was natural and that the relationship could be a natural thing, could be yes, it could be no, there could be people who felt like it was on that like the slaves. some of them perhaps you think it was not. um. yeah, i don't think it majority braves for okay. with the position. yes. i just accepted it as a as their station in life. do you see a situation where blacks could be masters to why would that be that? would that be now? and yeah, i think in some cases very well, you know, i had a, a supervisor when i worked at a department store one time that was bought. and i took orders from them and did what he told me to do, you know, but you have your freedom of use, do you had your liberty? could you imagine situation where you were the slave of
12:48 am
a black master? will that let me just say that that's not something that i can just fully comprehend. and imagine right here here in your question, but i'd be happy to think about it. yeah, i'm just curious. i basically told him, i said, hey, i'm one of those new ways, young black such a fear. you certainly told war. you might notice how much i love america. you made me come back to my state. i got my education. and now what is you create a someone who isn't afraid of someone who's going to come at you, whatever else a breath there. and we're going to make sure we get that flag. i will go down to where it is a mistake. you know, we are 40 and we can make a time. not be afraid of these guys, because i'm the biggest house in the world. are you a veteran? did you ever start the say? no. well, you're here because of the sort of funny man for fun. mm.
