[000:00:00;00] a ah it so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on of very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time to sit down talk

i met representative sites at a rally in washington, d. c. o t introduced this dentist while i do. a gallery of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag about laurence i love is the thing else. you know, we had a discussion with us. i saw this flag and fell in love with it. and i really liked that when i found out that the design of laura's then it lauren is the 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, to excel that over time through the generations. people change, i'm a hip hop artist. i you feel popped when lie in an 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 with

ah, it's a pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. um, 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. oh, the soldiers, nothing. the cemetery that we're going to, oh can 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 sign

in this was originally just a small family cemetery. bo railroad tracks are in the same place. those or, and they ran from meridian to jackson and owned vicksburg. soldiers died on the train ride up here late and even know the names of the soldiers. these are some of the filings 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. by didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fought because their home was invited because there are,

should i ask them to and it was honorable thing to do in ah, how can you say that when that cause that you say that they fought so nobly for was girded up by slavery. 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, the belief that america is

a white list. and anybody else would come to you 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 this flag and in some brave white mit 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 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, afraid some slice that i can preserve the even a free dumpsite keywords resulting. and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery, he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core one amendment

a whole and then it was proposed to actually legalize labor. 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 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 $1861.00. lincoln in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. had the core 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 secede from the union and form a southern confederacy of slave holding states 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

within a race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later, when our previous president was, there was nothing but a being hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of rice war more based on the why was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing, not my amazing. we don't play for anything. rifle at all. we're, we're out here where stand for southern pri. network knows it heavily with his friends. we're. we're downgrades rule if i believe that we're going to be able to come around and everybody finally uses rested because it's like, don't stay in for rice or mr. sar. heritage who sit down at a table and hash out the plan. 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. 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, what the odds of that happening are slim and i'm honest with breathing down from here. oh wow. i believe we're relaxing it all, rosie 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 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, it is such a bare place there. they're not quite frankly, very big. that's fine. they can stay wherever they are. i'm whitefish boyish. if i didn't wipe mississippi. ready if you don't white mississippi where you're leaving, i invite you to do the same final place where you can be here. i've been raised in the state and i'd love to see if people have at the end say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. my family have been here for more than a century in them playing a deal when it is to me. no one is going to take the flag away from you. can we add on your body on your travel, your car in your yard? that's what the 1st amendment gives you. but we're talking about these date play.

they represent all mississippi and in that way that represent all this, the boy ah, mobile is the best of both. no issue. mobile one, annual g d, p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. last does that? we've got a primary cost is still a quarter to really put them in your presence. find them on the line to come out to la doors, thought they would have thought of unemployment is off the chance. moldova is territorial integrity. in sovereignty, we respect a country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. n. b is constantly robbed

by political and corruption scandals. but all that didn't stop mo, google obtaining you candidate status in 2022. ah ah, ah ah, look it up for one. it talks about how good to go unless they are group love. oh, we're taking those so that is hurtful to 30 percent. busy 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 lost, donald trump was elected, there were rides from new york to ally. and with protesters, mostly minorities could be seen in the demonstration chandler, not my president, not as if we had brought it to that. my. what do you think? what about the answer is obvious. the flag bear with the numbers for you probably heard that this is a little boy that gave me pain with very what about the people there? tell a little boys that

a definitive a b, y a point of view. it said why a room. 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, but then, 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 and 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 white? 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 at 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 of use, do 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 blacks that you fear. you certainly told you might notice how much i love america. you make the comment. so my stay and i got my education. and now which is, is you created 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 that american mistake, you know, we are 40 percent and we can make the site. not be afraid of these guys because of

the biggest house in the world. are you a veteran? 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 from government buildings as well as all 8 public universities and the rallies and public meetings are becoming more confrontational. now with whatever a mayor job and take to the phone has failed to take it to devote to the people in mississippi and claim that a shredder,

j a. this is our home. these are our symbols. that way, that the family appears to be assigned, but it's also she'll take a liquid to only give you an opportunity to work 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 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 and just colonist white supremacists and racist and everything like that. but we're all willing to protect ourselves. if we feel threaten, we will use our weapons. are you barbara? now? yes sir. would you? would you find out the i think 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 what 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 came to a point then we're not gonna take it in an 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 a monument. why supremacy?

i mean, it's a monument. know people and i was just because you said that job, it made me the most prejudice i've ever heard in my life. you don't know any of these people in your car, all white supremacy, not prejudiced on them. a cold shower, 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? 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 we just rolled the window

a way it's all about a history. you've read the article with there about maintaining flavor, right? ah ah

ah ah ah ah, ah ah aah! 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 organization with they were there to protest the planned removal of a statue of confederate general robert, leave my wife on this day. it wasn't possible to separate confederate symbols from racist beliefs. oh, you are a 4 days later that jefferson davis statue was taken down, who and robert e. lee was removed from his pedestal,
