donna was, lor is dennis. lauren is the grand. busy daughter of senator johnston, 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 of people change. i'm a hip hop artist. i you feel 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 with my neighbor that my enemy we deal with a

pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. i understand the, you know, the 20 stars the significance of what the meaning of that supposed to be, but nothing about it. honors confederate veterans.

oh, the soldiers, nothing. the cemetery that we're going to go and i say cemetery, it's not much of a cemetery. it's just a few grades, but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our flag should remain the site 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 right 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

never heard from them again. didn't know where they were buried. what happened to them, this one right here, it says a 6 brave soldier, sleep here, and that's kind of ha, feel about it. they were brave. they were honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invited because their wares date asked him to and it was honorable thing to do in with ah,

how can you say that when that cause that you say that they fought so nobly for was girded up by slavery. and you know, the whole reason drawer mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. the septic 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 white man's 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 his flag and then some brave white man i going to have to stand up and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislature. a 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 can change the flag has 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 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 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 lorine thing there, that harkens 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, 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 by freight some slice that i can preserve the union, but free. no slight key was reserved. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment colon name, it was proposed to actually legalize. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to, to join it back in the union, but they denied they didn't want to have any part of it. all, had it been about was library. then the core and 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 of congress in 1861 lincoln, in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. had 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 feared, 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

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 immolate 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, a with our previous president. it was there was nothing but a big hate. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war out 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'll play for anything racial at all. we were out here where stand for southern prior

that a wife knows absolutely with judge rule about believe that will be able to make sure everybody finally you just rested because it's like, don't stay in for a show and was just our heritage will sit down at 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 then i honestly believe we get freedom down for a week or 2 are wow, i believe people were relax, a little more, invest all rosie dollars in religion

with her and say flag flag of 1894 as a symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 1890 mississippi's governor. at that 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, be lamps, and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes you'll hear people say, oh mister cindy is such a back, replace them. they're not from you quite frankly, but you think that's fine, they can stay wherever they are. i like this voice. if i didn't like this is to be out. ready if you don't like mississippi where you're leaving,

i invite you to do the same, but find some place where you can be happy. i've been great and i'd love to see if people are 50 and say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere must be here for more than a century. in that plague deal what it is to me. no one is going to take the flag away from you. we're on your batting, on your travel, your car in your yard. that's when they get here. but we're talking about these dates play. they represent all mississippi. and in that way that represent all of that, the point, ah ah, everything has changed. and one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate to attack of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their

positions. they decided to concentrate on russia in their real aim is of course, saving their 500 years of their domination and the emitter intermediate a basis on demand china. now, but of, of the my china, they have to 1st to take our trash ah small do it, the school bus, the bulk of law issue. my, for the mobile, when you visit annual g d. p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. the la garza, we've got drugs on, i'm old, old a washer to sleep. i was up a man, i got my primary coffee seal from where the civilian kids put them in your prison,

tell a little boys that a definitive a b, y 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, i don't know exactly what i said, but then 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, that, that the van to matter all arrange. and you're saying that in the united states in mississippi, that it was a natural flavor, 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 was a jaunty bribes for okay. with the position. yes. i just accepted it as a as their station in law. 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 him and did what he told me to do. and what you had your freedom east, you had your liberty, could you imagine situation where you were, look the slave of 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 blacks that you fear. you said it's a little more. you might notice how much i love america, you make the comics on wednesday and i got my education. and now which is, 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 gonna make sure we get that flag. i will go that american state to know that we are 40 percent and we can make a time. not be afraid of these guys,

including the monument to jefferson davis, president of the confederacy for confederate heritage, supporters like george. their fears were coming true, confederate monuments were now under attack. their argument is this, these statues and the symbols of the southern paper are racist and promote y supremacy. that is there argue we got this guy walk around with the communist flag here in hays, going round just talking smack, just walking up people and just a colonist, white supremacists, and racist and everything like that. but we're all willing to protect ourselves. if we feel threatened, we will use our weapons. or you are right now. yes sir. would you, would you find out the i think if i felt threatening my life was starting your day, right. i would really and you're willing to be shuttled now and this is a cause i'm willing to give my life or do you think that comes from for years and
