to independent journalists and the free their minds, you know, and they, and so they want, what, what was that, what the british government are trying to do, and what the us government are trying to do. and is really trying to do is, is to have one narrative and anybody who's diver, you know, diverse, so diverges from that will be punished and made an example out. so i must say something that you know, uh, what happened to scott: uh, it really, you know, resonated with me because he was as good sort of a similar background with the united nations. you know, where he worked as a weapons inspector with the un. my parents worked with us when we have nothing to do with terrorism, we're all from the diplomatic community. we oppose terrorism or against terrorism. you know, i, myself, i was a victim of terrorism when we were posted in some of our do, you know, the, the egyptian embassy adjacent to my school, the bridge school was blown up. i was there. so, you know, the idea that scott's or the i a, a support terrorism is ludicrous with a lot of people on us who would support terrorism will be become terrorist. yeah, richard met her. scott read uh, basically, anyone who goes public these days opposing domains through narratives will find

themselves in the process. i mean, why do you think odd, see if they blocked uncertain western countries, they don't want people hearing was with say, it's always your audience until the, [000:00:00;00] the, to this thing of the continent of boxes. oh, send we in touch with the rest of the world. we're going to relate to the wind in

terms of donations on, in terms of tray assets, a month to define what she wants political assets might define our soft contribution aspect online. define ourselves critically. the cause of your guys, no choice but to move forward forward. she will i'm a representative of sites at a rally in washington dc. she introduced his dentist while i do a gallery to mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag by lawrenceville. i love this, and the thing is, you know, we had a discussion with a bunch of i saw this flag and fell in love with it. and i really liked it. when i found out that the designer was laurie spanish,

lauren is the grand. busy of send it to johnston, he represented during the time of jim crow where they thought that separate but equal was okay. is just so important to me to accept that over time and through the generations of people change on the hip hop. why they are, you feel pops when light in and inspires and i respect honoring your ancestors ion or 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 then my enemy, we value this

land of mine. and there's nothing more to say. so the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, it's pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. i understand, you know, the 20 stars the significance and what the meaning of that supposed to be, but nothing about it. honors confederate,

veterans of the soldiers. nothing. the cemetery that we're going to 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 a file. this is why our flagship remind beside the this was originally just a small family cemetery. so railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and they ran from meridian to jackson, around the vicksburg. soldiers died on the train right up here. they didn't even know the names of a,

so just these are some of the files and who fall and, and their families never heard from him again. to know where they were buried, what happened to them, this one right here it says a 6 brave soldier sleep here. so that's kind of feel about it. they were brave. they're honorable. by didn't fight to preserve slavery like fault because their home is invited. because their, their stay ask them to and it was honorable, find that the, the

so how do you say that when, when that cause that you say that they fall? so nobody 4 was girded up by slavery. and then you know, the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very primate, it's about preserving slavery, this stuff that it goes back almost to found in this country, that the belief that america is to white list. and anybody else in the country has to back down to the white business. so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about maintaining the status. and any kind of change occurs in this country where there's progress made towards diversity

is responded to as it is. ready to the white, if we're going to change this flag in some ways white going to have to stand up and step up. and it's got to happen in this legislation. the last legislative session, there were 19 bills related to the flag. the session there 22. all of those bills related to change or means by which we can change the flag has been introduced by african american legislators. the bills for in support of the current state fired have all been introduced by white male conservative legislators in 2001 the people of mississippi voted on a flag and 65 percent of the people. ready 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 little maurine being 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 so what's the real history yet the, 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,

a 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 5 free and all the slaves, i do that i can preserve the union, but for some slight sense, i can preserve the use of a freight, those keywords for so you can go, lincoln was morally opposed to slavery. he helped common racist leaks and then there's the core when amendment amendment was proposed to actually legalize. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to, to join, get back in the union. but they did not, and they didn't want to have any part of it. all hit have been a mile with slavery in the core and amendments with a fix that because it stated that the south to perpetually keep this

peculiar institution which referred to slavery. if they would not succeed from here to core one amendment passed both houses of congress and 18. 61 lincoln in his 1st and all girl address said he would not interfere with it. had the car when 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, the mississippi made it clear that they succeeded to protect slavery. in part because they believe that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat or requirements 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 named william l harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form

a southern confederacy of slaveholding states and an address to the georgia general assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man projecting, and there was an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he considered his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race, men, women, and children, stimulated and one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the deck, redemption of civil, political, and social equality within the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later with our previous president, there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of a race war. more space on the was, was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing, not by any means. and we don't say for anything racial at all,

we were out here. we're standing for southern pride. the news i believe with his prize very well. don't believe that we're going to bill me to tom it set out and everybody finally get this risk because it's like, don't stand for racism is just our heritage. let's sit down and a table in hash out for quite a come to an understanding that this is the way that we feel, regardless how you feel, you know, the way you feels while you play it, we can't change that. so we're not asking you to change that, we're asking you to come to of a place in your life where you can accept what we do as we say of what you do, what the odds of that happening are slim and honestly believe it freedoms style is going to allow us, i believe people will relax

a little more and that's all right. she tells you religions, the united states flag, the flag of 18. $94.00 is the symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of $1890.00 mississippi's governor. at that time, james hardaman unabashedly stated mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate or from politics. let the world know it just as it is. governor of argument also said, if it is necessary, if every oh in the state will be list and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes your people say, oh, it is such a bad place. quite frankly, things like that. that's fine. it can stay wherever they are and why this place if

i didn't want. ready if you don't find a place where you can do you have a great day and i can say, if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. you been here for more than a century in the flag is still what it is to me. no, i wanna take the flag away and you can we, i don't trust the car the so we're talking about these days that represents mississippi. you and then what was it all over? the boy, the the,

what is part of is it that the employee would post good isn't the, the place you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases let's go to. so it talks about how to log into the website to. busy

the last 2015 with the compromising walls. so mostly my r y b

b y b y y. the i met ray stores once before and he said of the to me in that conversation i'd heard from other confederate heritage some orders. but ray was the only one who set it on camera. he had said that slavery was, it was a natural condition. well, know exactly what i said, the man. but i remember the energy, the relationship between the slave and the master wasn't except the thing and a, it was there was a love between. i wanna make sure i understand what you're saying here is that,

that, that the natural range, and you're saying that in united states in mississippi, that it was a natural fit, slavery was natural and that the, into the relationship could be a natural thing, could be yes, it could be now that could be people who felt like it was on that type of slaves. some of them perhaps. so you think would you not them? yeah, i don't think of majority frames 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 wines? would that be that? would that you know? yeah, i think in some cases, you know, i had a uh, a supervisor when i worked at a department store at one time that was black and lots of orders from here and did what he told me to do. and what you had your freedom piece,

do you have your liberty? could you imagine a situation where you were the slave a glass master? well, let me just save it. that's not something that i can just fully comprehend. and imagine right here here and your questions that i'd be happy to think about. okay. yeah, i'm just curious on one of those new ways, young racks that you fear you sent me to. you might be noticed how much i love america. you made a comment. so much that i got my education and now which is i was afraid of it was someone who isn't afraid of someone who's going to come in whatever else abreast. they want to make sure we get this way. we can make the time, not the biggest the said no, we're here because the visa funny man,

the by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state had renewed the state flags from government buildings as well as all a public universities the and the rallies and public meetings are becoming more confrontational, the the american takes it to take it down to the people in mississippi. the is this our home?

these are our symbols. what appears to be a sign where they can do all the of the nearby new orleans, the city with a 60 percent black population. the court to just approve the city council's plan to remove 4 prominent confederate statutes 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 that the statue using the symbols of the southern people are racist and from o y supremacy that is there are you. we got this guy walk around with the communists black here and he's going around just talking smack, just walk in and people and just calling this white supremacist and racist and everything like that. but we're all willing to protect ourselves. if we feel threatened, we will use our weapons. yes or would you if i felt threatened in my life a certain your name right. i would really and you really to be now with and this is a cause i'm willing to give them all i for check subs from for years and years. any time i walk around with my state flag, this is the flag a mistake. and i get very sick and tired

of being called a racist and i'm big it because me because i'm proud of where i'm from and it's getting to a point where now i'm taking and we've given we've compromised. we've lost a lot that we're not gonna lose anymore. when you're on the right side of history. it's always worth fighting for you don't know about reality that you realize that people are just because you say that be the most president i've ever heard of my life. you don't know any of these people in your color. all white supremacy is not

here prejudiced on the back up in the shower. they're looking for trouble. so they can get us basically kicked out of here, arrested. rake our spirit. but we're not gonna file 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 gonna have a cook out over there, but they're over here trying to instigate us. you see this is rolling the window up on me. he's rolling the window. do you see that? you just roll the window up on me all and roll the window. i work more center even your badge number, sir. what's your name? your badge number, what's your name and your badge number. may i get your name? your adviser? will not susan, asking for
