my neighbor, my enemy, with a pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have now understand, you know, the 20 stars the significance of what the meaning of it supposed to be,

but 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 is 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, bowl railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and i ran from meridian to jackson and owned vicksburg. soldiers died on the train, brought 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 sleepier and that's kinda feel about it. they were brave. they were honorable by didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invited because there last night, i asked them to and it was an honorable thing to do in with

for 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 for 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 through 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 those progress made towards diversity is responded to

as it is that correct to the white man? if we're going to change this flag and then some brave white men going 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 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 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 em 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 argued 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 do that i can reserve the union by freeing some slice that i can preserve the union a 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 like i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to not to join it back in the union, but they denied they didn't want to have any part of it. all had been a bile was library, then the core and amendment would fix that. because it stated that the south to

perpetuate key is peculiar institution which referred 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 succeeded 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. a harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to

join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slaveholding states. in an address to the georgia general assembly, he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man rejecting 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 the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later with our previous president, it was there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war or race war more based on the was really what it was. this isn't

a racial thing, not my me. or we don't play for anything racial at all. we're out here. we're staying for southern prize. white nose abilene with this president with donald j. trump, i believe that were going to bailey to come and sat down and everybody finally use this rested. because this flag don't stand for racism is just our heritage list. sit down in a table and hash out a come to an understanding that this is the way we feel. regardless how you feel. you know what, the way you feels, what you, we can't change. what i'm asking you to change that grass. can you to come to placing your last word? you can excel. what we do as we say up what you do, what the odds of that happening are slim and then honestly they leave. you get freedoms down from here. oh wow. i believe people will actually move in.

there's all rosy religion in state flag, the flag of 18. $94.00 is the symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 18. 90 mississippi. as governor. at that time, james arden 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 varnum 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, assume you such a better place. they're, they're not quite frankly, very big. that's fine. they can stay wherever they are. i like this bush,

if i didn't want this to be all. ready lee, if you don't like michigan where you're leaving, i invite you to do the same. find some place where you can be. yeah. i've been raised in this state and i love mississippi. if people have that the and say, if you don't like it, you can go on with my family, have been here for more than a century in that flag of deal when it is to me. no, i just want to take the flag away from you. we had on godaddy on your travel, your car in your yard. that's what the 1st amendment gives you. but without, without these date flag, they represent all mississippi. and in that way, i do not represent all this, the voice, ah, ah, ah,

needs to come to the russian state local narrative. i've stivers on the north lampkin div, asking him the knocking sunset for a coup in a sissy babel did. okay, so mine is dealing with real fan in the european union, the kremlin, the media machine restate on russia for date and r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest. and with me at the recent g, 20 meeting and bali, the west. it all,

it could with the help of corporate media to isolate russia, all their efforts came to nothing. in fact, the opposite happened. russia was a welcome participant, nato's proxy war in ukraine. does united much of the global south it's native against the world? with angela lucas taught low was it talks about how good to walk with a group. so i was wrong with saying, you know, so that is hurtful to 30 percent. busy people with a last in the summer of 2015 the where with

the assistance of compromising republicans, launched in attack or symbols representing the confederate states of america. after guillory last, donald trump was elected. there were rhymes from j o l i. and we, protestors, mostly minorities, can be seen in the demonstrations chant is not a reply to that. maybe. what do you think? what about the answer is obvious. the flag bear with the numbers for you probably heard a little more than me with gary. what about the people there? tell a little boys that a a b,

y a y, a long name. i met re sure 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. i don't 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 them to understand what you're saying here is that, that, that the van to matter will 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 and 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 white? would that be neck? would that be? no. i mean, yeah, i think in some cases very well, you know, i had a, a supervisor when i worked at a department store at one time that was blind and not sip orders from them and did

what he told me to do it. but you have your freedom east, you had your liberty. could you imagine a situation where you were look the slave of a black master? well then 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 age young wax that you fear. you certainly talk. you may notice how much i love america. you made the comment so much my education. and now what you've done is you created a someone who isn't afraid of someone who's going to come at you warehouse breath better. and we're going to make sure we get that flag that i will go that american lives. thank you. know we are 40 percent and we can make the site. 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 refunded me by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state had renew mistake flags from government buildings as well as all 8 public universities in the rallies and public meetings are becoming more confrontational. now want to make room reformers, but if you have me and you get a good one, mayor job and take to the phone, has to take it to devote to the people in mississippi pending claim that a shredder a this

is our home. these are our symbols, they're like what appears to be assigned, but it's also taken to only give you an opportunity to wrong with ah, in nearby new orleans, 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, there are you, we got this guy walk around with the communist black here in hays, going round just talking smack, just walking up people in just colonist white supremacists and racist and everything like that. but we are all willing to protect ourselves if we feel threaten, we will use our weapons. or you barbara now? yes sir. would you would you find out if i felt threatening my life or 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 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 atlanta and it's getting to a point then we're not gonna take any and we've given we've compromised. we've lost a lot and 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 monument. why supremacy? now it is a monument, 8 people, and i was just because you say that job, it may be the most prejudiced i've ever heard in my life. you don't know any of
