defense can practice in the light. um, for the money that is 855, like prolonged a wall to keep russia busy. you know, this is the, ultimately, this is what the west is doing is own a file. you know, try for the west egg, him and a a i'm a representative of sites to the rally in washington, d. c. t introduced his dentist while i do a gathering of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag by lawrence. that is, i love it. and the thing is, you know, we had a discussion about it. i saw this flag and fell in love with this, and i really liked it when i found out that the design of the lord is dennis lauren is the grand. busy of send it to johnston is he represented during the time of jim
12:31 am
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 still 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 the land of mine and the
12:32 am
the say. so almost say to my guy, you have one in the stuff in the it's pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have to understand. you know, the 20 stars or 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 say cemetery. it's not much of a cemetery is just
12:33 am
a few grades. but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our flagship remind beside the this was originally just a small family cemetery. bell 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 soldiers. these are some of the files and who fought and died. and their families never heard from them again. to know where they were buried,
12:34 am
what happened to them? this one right here, it says a 6 brave soldier. slate here. that's kind of feel about it. they were brave. they're honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery. like fault because their home is invited. because their, their state ask them to and it was honorable thing that the, the, or the how can you say that when, when that cause that you say that they fall. so nobody 4 was
12:35 am
girded up by slavery. and then you know, the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. this stuff that goes back almost to our founding in this treasury day. that the belief that america is whitelist. and anybody else who comes to has the bad down to the white race route. 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 it is progress made towards diversity. is responded to as it is a threat to the white if we're going to change this flag in some ways white man
12:36 am
doesn't have to stand up and step up and it's got to happen and it was interesting the last, so just by the 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 could 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 of the 2001 the people of 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
12:37 am
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 or 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 inherited supporters argue that the civil war was not sought to free the slaves? because abraham lincoln himself said, so it is original inaugural address. he said,
12:38 am
if i could preserve the free and all the slaves, i do then to preserve the union of a freight some slight sense. if i can preserve the use of a phrase, 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 talk to john, get back in the union, but they didn't, i didn't, they didn't want to have any part of it. all had a, been a mile with slavery in the core and amendment would have fixed that because it stated that the south to perpetually keep this peculiar institution which referred to slavery. if they would not succeed from unit to court. one amendment passed both houses of congress and 18. 61 lincoln in his 1st and all girl address said he would
12:39 am
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 seceded 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 feared, 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 formed a southern confederacy of slaveholding states. in an address to the georgia general assembly, he said, our fathers made this
12:40 am
a government for the white man projecting and west of ignorant, inferior barbarian race, and capable of self government. he considered his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women, and children, emulate in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the declaration 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
12:41 am
i believe with his president would believe that we're going to be able to tom it set out. and everybody finally uses risk because it's like, don't stand for racism is just our heritage. we sit down in a table and hash asked for quite a come to an understanding that this is the way the wasteful, regardless how you feel. you know what the way you feels while you were we can't change. we're not asking you to change that. we're asking you to come to of a place in your life where you can excel, what we do as we say of what you do with the odds of that happening are slim and i honestly believe the freedoms style is going to allow us. i believe people will relax a little more and that's all right. he says are religions. the
12:42 am
3rd states flag the flag of 1894 as a symbol of the mississippi that adopted the constitution of 1890 mississippi's governor. at that time, james argument unabashedly stated, mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate or from politics. like the world know it just as it is. governor of argument also said, if it is necessary, ev, every in the state will be list and it will be done to maintain white supremacy. sometimes your people say, oh, it's just, it is such a bad place. they're not quite frankly, things like that. that's fine. it can stay wherever they are. and what if i didn't want you to find a place where you can raise the state and not load
12:43 am
and say if you don't like it, you can go somewhere. you been here for more than a century in the still what it is to me. no, i wanna take the flag away and you can wait on the body on your travel, your car the gives you what we're talking about these days that represents mississippi and then what was it all over? the points. the water is part of the leg. isn't the postcard isn't the deepest view of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present? let's stop without collision. is that spelled out of the
12:44 am
as as western leaders recklessly talked of escalating the conflict a new frame, european voters has sent the exact opposite message pro war and meets are clearly out of step with voters. and they've been punished for it is it talks about how to log into the website the. busy big thing with the last several
12:46 am
the the was the the i met ray stores 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 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, and that, that, that the natural range,
12:47 am
and you're saying that in united states in mississippi, that it was a natural fit, slavery was natural and that the, in 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 talk the slaves, some of them perhaps. so you think we just um 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 be no problem? yeah, i think in some cases, you know, i had a, a, a supervisor when i worked at a department store one time that was black. and i took orders from him 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 of
12:48 am
a black mass for well, so let me just save it. that's not something that i can just fully comprehending. imagine right here here in your question, but i'd be happy to think about it. yeah, i'm just curious to hang on one of those new ways. young blacks disappear. you said you might be noticed how much i love america. you made a comment. so mostly, and i got my education and now which is created, it was someone who isn't afraid of someone who's gonna come in whatever else or breath we're going to make sure we get this way. we can make this right. not the biggest piece said no, we're here because the visa by the spring of 2017 cities and counties throughout the state,
