a shift from natural ah, i met representative sykes at a rally in washington, d. c. o t introduced his dentist. why do a gallery of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag over by lawrenceville? i love this because and the thing is, you know, we had a discussion with us that i saw this flag and fell in love with that. and i really liked that when i found out that the designer was laura's been is lauren is the granddaughter of senator johnston, is he represented during the time of jim crow where they thought that separate but equal was ok is just so important to me to excel that over

time and through the generations of people change. i'm a hip hop artists are you still pops when lie in an inspired i respect honoring your ancestors. i honor mine and that's kind of i fill 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 the process with the client, bob, the candle dad, back and the top part is thing i try to find a more to say. so i'm a state feel my validated templates

for a it's a pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we help you understand the, you know, the 20 stars the significance and what the meaning of that supposed to be. but it, nothing about it. honors confederate veterans. the soldiers, nothing. this 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 same. and this was originally just a small family cemetery. bo railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and i ran from meridian to jackson and owned 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 ask him to and it was honorable thing to do in with ah, how can you say that when that caused 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 to 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 those 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 some brave white man, i got to 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 22 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 or anything 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 is the real history in 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 reserve the union but free. so the slice that i can preserve the union, a free doug slide. that key was reserved and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core when amendment total and then it was proposed to actually legalize. 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 was library, 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 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 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 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, when our previous president was, there was nothing but a big hate. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of rice war more speak on the why was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing that my enemies will favor anything racial at all. we're, we're out here. we're stand for southern pri, network knows it heavily with his friends we're, we're downgrades rule about believe that will they will be able to come around and

everybody finally uses rested because it's like, don't stay in for racism. it's just our heritage was set on a table and hash out the play. a clump don't understand that. this is the way we feel, regardless how you feel. you know, the way you feels while you feel would change. what i'm 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, what the odds of that happening are slim and then i'll just leave you freedoms down from here. oh wow. or i'll be late. people were relaxing more inverse all rosy . religion with her sake flag the flag of 18. $94.00 as a symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 18. 90 mississippi. as

governor. at that time, james hardaman unabashedly stated mississippi's constitutional convention of 18. 90 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate from politics. like the world know it just as it is governor barnum and also said, if it is necessary and every oh in the state will be lynched. and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes you'll hear people say, oh, mysterious such a bert replace them or not from quite frankly, but he's been good. that's fine. they can stay wherever they are. i'm whitish boys, if i didn't like mississippi all. ready li, if you don't white mississippi where you're leaving, i invite you to do the same. find some place where you can be. i've been raised in this state. and i love this is vicky. if people have the and say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. my family have been here for more than

a century in that flag deal. when it is for me, no, i was going to take the flag away. can you, can we add on value when you're traveling a car? yeah. that's what the 1st amendment gives you. but without, without these date play, they represent all mississippians in that way that represent all those the place. ah ah ah

western leads essentially promised to give a blank check to continue nature's proxy war against russia. businesses and consumers are now saying not so fast. the west believe russia would quickly collapse under the weight of sanctions. instead, it is the west, but to play europe facing alive with a low one.

it talks about how good to go unless they agree. love. oh, we're taking those so that is hurtful to 30 percent of the people with red shores a lot in the summer of 2015. the web with the assistance of compromising republicans, launched an attack of symbols representing the confederate states of america. after guillory loss dial shawn was elected arrives from new york l i and we protestors, mostly minorities can be seen in the demonstration, chance not a reply to that may. what do you think? whatever the answer is on the fly, bear with the numbers for you probably for

a little boy with berry. what about the people there? tell a little boys that a feminist, a b, y a y a 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 know exactly what i said, man, but i remember the interview, the relationship between the slave and the master wasn't accepted thing and a, it was, there was a love between them. i want to 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 done that like the slaves. some of them perhaps you think it was not. um yeah, i don't think it was already approved for. okay. what 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 wise? would that be now? would that be no. oh yeah, i think in some cases a very well, you know, i had a, a supervisor when i work at a department store one time that was bought and i took orders from them and did what he told me to do. and but you have your freedom of use, do you had your liberty? could you imagine a situation where you were, look the slave of a black master? will that let me just say, then 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 wax that you fear. you certainly total war. you might notice how much i love america. you made the comment so much that i got my education. and now what you,

you create a remote, someone who isn't afraid of someone who's going to come at you, whatever else the bread. and we're going to make sure we get that flag. i will go that american state, you know, we are 40 percent and we can make the check. not be afraid of these guys because i'm the biggest house in the world. i still, are you a better? did you ever started the say? no. well, you're here because of the sort of funny man refunded me by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state had renew mistake flags and government buildings. as well as all 8 public universities in the rallies and public meetings are becoming more confrontational. i want to make the move but if it hurt me and you get rid of that with

hatred, whatever you want a one way or job and take to the phone has to take it to devote to the people in mississippi, including the shredder, j a you know, this is our home, these are our symbols. they're like what appears to be a sign, but it's also she take a liquid to only give you an opportunity to wrong with

ah, in your mind, morland's a city with a 60 percent black population. the court to just to prove the city council's plan to remove 4 prominent confederate statues from public property, 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 in the symbols of the southern paper are racist and promote y supremacy. that is their argument. we got this guy walk around with the communist black here in hays, going around just talking smack, just walking up people in just 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 barbara, now, yes sir. would you,

would you find out if i felt threatening my life was starting your day, right? i would really and you're willing to be shot on it now, and this is a cause i'm willing to give my life or do you think that comes from right? for years and years, any time i'll walk around with my state flag. this is the flag of my state, and i get very sick and tired of being called a racist. and i'm big it because it because i'm proud of forum from and it's came to a point then we're not gonna take it in and we've given we've compromised. we've lost a lot. we're not gonna lose any more. when you're on the right

side of history, it's always worth fighting for. oh, you don't know about reality dice this, otherwise you'd realize that this isn't like monument. why supremacy? i mean it's a monument, know, 8 people. and i don't just because you say that job, it may be the most prejudice i've ever heard in my life. you don't know any of these people in your car, all wise. the premise of prejudiced on them. that way we did a tower, they're looking for trouble. so they can get us basically kicked out of here, arrested. break our spirit. but we're not gonna fall for you guys. please get them over there and separate them before hits the fan, if you would, we would greatly appreciate. can i not go over on the other side of the street?
