a toy you ordered a shirt and shown in yellow. it will show pity. induction. ah, i met representative. besides that, a rally in washington, d. c. o t introduced his dentist. why do it gather it? of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag over by lawrenceville. i love the thing, you know, we had a discussion about that. i saw this flag and fell in love with it. and i really liked it. when i found out that the design of laura's been is lauren is the. busy granddaughter of 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 that over

time and through the generations. are people change? i'm a hip hop artist. are you so pop when lie in an 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 a more to say, so i'm a state feel my guy you day

a with it's a pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have now understand, you know, the 20 stores the significance and what the meaning of it supposed to be, but nothing about it. honors confederate, veterans of the soldiers. nothing. this cemetery that we're going to go can 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 sign in this was originally just a small family cemetery. bo railroad tracks are in the sy in place. those are and they 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, 6 brave soldier,

sleep here. and that's kind of ha, feel about it. they were brave, they were honorable by didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invited in a calls there or should i ask them to and it was 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. this, it goes back almost to our founding in this country that, that the belief that america is white lives. 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 that correct. ready to the white man, if we're going to change this flag and then some brave white med, i'm 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 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 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 do that i can preserve the union, but free some slice that i can preserve the union. a free dump, slighted key, was reserved, and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core one amendment. the whole amendment 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 they didn't want to have any part of it. all had 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 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 hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of rice war, more space 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 standing for southern pri. network knows it heavily with his friends. we're. we're downgrades rule. i believe that will bally with home surround everybody. finally,

you just rested because there's like, don't stay in for races and was just our heritage was set on a table and hash out the class. a come to an understanding that this is the way we feel regard as 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 do. but the odds of that happening are slim and then i'll just leave you breathing down. drinking water. well, i'll be late. we're largely a more inverse. all righty. religion with her and say flag 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 arden unabashedly stated, mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate from politics like the world. no, it just does, 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 mister sylvia. such a bag replaced very they're not quite frankly, but he's been good. that's fine. they can stay wherever they are. i'm white this bush, if i didn't. why mississippi. ready lee, if you don't white mississippi, we're leaving. i invite you to do the same work. fine. so place where you can be. i've been raised in this state and i love mississippi. 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 of deal. when it is to me. no, i was going to take the flag awaken you. can we add on value on your track on your car in your yard? that's what the 1st amendment gives you. what we're talking about these date play, they represent all mississippians in the implant does not represent all this. the boy the recent g 20 meeting in bali, the west did 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 participate nato's proxy. war in ukraine does united much of the global south. it's nato, against the world. in only one main thing is important for knox. ism internationally speaking to that is that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slaves. americans, brock, obama, and others have had

a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this danger is boy man that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy and walked out of it on your own. i know she leashed off tim zip on and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, what disbanded shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions,

or is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. and i look, it talks about 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 last, donald trump was elected arrived from j u l. i. and we,

protestors, mostly minorities, can be seen in the demonstration, chance not a reply to that. maybe what you think? what about the answer is obvious. the flag bear with the numbers for you probably heard a little boy that gave me pain with very what about the people there? tell a little boys that a feminist a b

y a point of view that says we can't even play a game. 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 them, 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 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 what was it i'm yeah. don't think of the georgia bribes 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 now? and yeah, i think in some cases a very work, you know, i had a, a supervisor when i work at a department store one time that was blind and i took orders from them and did what he told me to do. and what you had your freedom east, 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 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 total war. you might notice how much i love america, you made the comment. so my state, i got my education and now which is you create a remote, 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 looks like to know where we are forwarded. and we can make a try. not be afraid of these guys, because i'm the biggest house in the world. i asked, are you a better? did you ever start the say? no. well, you're here because of these are funny man, refunded me by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state had renew mistake flag from government buildings as well as all 8 public universities and the rallies and public meetings are becoming more

confrontational now with me and you get a good one, mayor, job and take to the phone, has failed to take it to devote to the people mississippi claim that is a, this is our home. these are, are symbols that way, that the family what appears to be assigned, 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 and the symbols of the southern paper are racist and promote why 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're all willing to protect ourselves. if we feel threatened, we will use our weapons. or you barbara, now? yes, there would you would you find out? 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 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 a big it because it because

i'm proud of forum from and it's going to a point 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 i was just otherwise you'd realize that this isn't a monument. why supremacy? i mean, it's a monument. know people and i was 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 fein, if you would, we would greatly appreciate, can i not go over on the other side of the street? there's grass over there. they're going to have a cookout over there, but they're over here trying to instigate us. you see, this is rolling, the window up on me is rolling the window. you see that? he just rolled the window up on me. all him rode the window i want, what's your name and your badge number, sir. what's your name? your badge animal. what's your name? and your badge number is all my sure. may i get your name and your badge or more not citizen? i asked you for a name and your badge number. you're supposed to give it your public servant. you say they roll the window. they rolled the window up, they don't care. there won't in trouble. there was

a mm with i a with a way it's all about here for the history. you've read the article. i know that there about maintaining flavor, right?

ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah, in response to the violence of the jefferson davis monument, a group of self identifying white supremacists and neo nazis gathered at least circle in new orleans. where a white civil rights with they were there to protest the planned removal of a statue of confederate general robert lee or white on this day.

it wasn't possible to separate confederate symbols from racist beliefs you in 4 days later that jefferson davis stature was taken down, who and robert e. lee was removed from his medicine, at least start off with a with

ah, ah ah, i am, my name is franklin richardson, philadelphia got in the movement in any age, 13 or 14, the rear vowing towards those people because we believe that we're in a race. we're here for our country being part of that movement. i got your sense of power. when i felt powerless,

we got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i felt a level of life after hey, is an organization that was founded by 4 in the on the white supremacists in the us and canada. and they found each other and they knew that they wanted to help other guys get out. is 2 parts to getting out of a violent extremely good. the 1st part is disengagement, which is where you leave the social group. and then the next part is d. radicalization where belief systems audiology are removed was very impactful when someone finally came along with no fear, no judgement, you heard my story did nothing to challenge it. validate down her.
