S.C. statehouse fights over Confederate flag controversy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- The Confederate flag is no longer flying over Fort Sumter, South Carolina, where Southerners fired the first shots of the Civil War. Legislators may be ready to do the same at the statehouse, where one person faces charges after supporters and opponents of the revel flag slugged it out Monday. Every day the flag continues to fly, emotions on both sides of the issue run higher. Michelle Miller reports from Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.
"The blood in my teeth, and the blood on my hands is no comparison to the southern blood that runs through my veins"
That is the most southern thing ive ever heard
It doesn't make any sense. If that's his own blood on his teeth/hands then it's *exactly* the same as the blood in his veins.
If it's someone else's blood (one of the African American protesters) then that's a racist statement.
Blowyour Dad69 yeah cringe 😬
One thing that will always be true. If your white, you are a immigrant. You can't do, or will never be able to do is grab a hand full of dirt and say "Theses are the ashes of all my mothers and fathers" Because your oldest ancestor is a boat.
Lmmfao 😂
Mjs that makes no sense. Here I’ll go: You’re dumb because you’re dumb.
As a person of color, I’m beginning to think that all of us, may be a bit misunderstood, and purposely divided.
Okay you don't have to say a person of color you can just say black like come on

Especially when there walking in churches killing while people praying
It reminds u of the church bombing in the 60’s
& JimCrow
Same
True
Doesn’t the South have heritage in other things besides the Confederacy? Like what are Southerners actually proud of in the Confederacy?
Som Keshav exactly the confederates are a bunch of traitors
Som Keshav well part of the Confederate states of America involve our ancestors. why would we not be proud?
just like African Americans can be proud of their country after their own people captured, enslaved them and sold them to america.
@@christhomas6167 Africans didn't sell their own people. They all may have been the same race but they often sold captives from rival tribes that were taken after wars and other conflict.
Chris Thomas Except African-Americans aren’t descended from the Africans who sold other Africans, they’re descended from people who were enslaved.
Their proud of the Confederacy protecting their ‘way of life’ which was highly subsidized by the free labor...
people really think banning a flag is going to save lives?
it seems like alot of people want the flag to be banned, to me I just see a flag with a blue x and some stars, why cant people just look at it as that who are offended by it?
I really don't think any flag or symbol should be banned but that's just my opinion.
nthnpark0 Just remember that without the past were is the future? We can't learn from mistakes without ever screwing up.
The flag needs to go. The US flag should be flying in the city.
Actually do you know the history of after USA took over Germany ect when it came from the nazi's? Yes it's a start
yeah.
That rainbow gay flag offends me.
AM Keefer Well that sucks for all the confederate flag haters then.
+AM Keefer And there's nothing wrong with being Southerner. So get that through your skull.
AM Keefer That's what the devil wants you to believe.
AM Keefer No you doofus, Southern Pride is all about being proud of being born & raised in the Southern region in America. Being proud of living & doing things in the Southern lifestyles. Racism & Bigotry never was nor will be part of Southern lifestyle. And yes Southerners do celebrate American Pride along with the Southern stride. No matter if you're Northerner or Southerner, we're all Americans. If you don't like it, then suck it up, princess.
agreed, and it offends blacks, whites, ect but they don't take that down
Why does this guy remind me of Jackson off of Hannah Montana?
I couldn't agree more
I was just thinking about that too
Nah that’s Bucky kentucky we in the dark timeline rn buddy
Fly that flag high. The war was started by Northern agression. Keep flying it no matter what.
Actually the confederates started the war by invading a fort but I still agree that the confederate flag should stay
You on stormfront
April 12, 1861 - At 4:30 a.m. Confederates under Gen. Pierre Beauregard open fire with 50 cannons upon Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina starting the American Civil War
War was started by Northern aggression??? You were the idiots that were racist
fly it in chicago or nyc then lol

Or, pass a law to make people learn the history? IKR, that's way too rational?

By “leave the flag alone”, I hope you mean Burn and desecrate that treasonous flag.
What's done is done just let the flag stay along with the Confederate monuments it's all about history and Southern Heritage and not hate
Southern heritage is hate and prejudice through and through. What are you talking about? Are you an ignorant 3rd grader failing out of your history class?
People need to learn their history on the Confederate flag. That's not the original Confederate flag. Look it up. That was Virginia's battle flag, a long with Tennessee battle flag. After a couple years, they changed the Confederate flag. Now if this flag is suppose to offend people, look at the US Flag. Look who all got killed under the flag, slavery lasted over 100 years under that flag, compared to 4 years of this flag.
You are %1000 right I was about to comment the same thing about it it's not the original flag at all!
With all respect and no offense no one cares what flag this is if somthing is racist people want it down
@Lowell Almonte So if it's not Racist like you say then why don't the black people have the same southern blood.. like country boy said.. 🤭 why don't they feel the same southern pride??
MiSS MeXiCaN-VaNiLLa Because they do whatever Kanye West tells them to do on Twitter
Forget about racism for sec. Why we defending a flag that was use in battle against the union. It us treason
How can it be about heritage? The confederacy lasted ONLY 4 years. That's like saying my emo stage in high school is my heritage.
I’m just going to assume you made an honest mistake, and confused age for heritage.
Wow... This is where we live...
it only offends the ignorant people that don't know the history behind our flag
They also know the pro history of the American flag, but doesn't know the cons of it.

Secede, and see what happens!

Respectful Hillbilly I have no problem with that but the Confederate flag needs to be on private property. I am a taxpayer and I don't want to see it on government property we can put our money elsewhere in helping people. The Civil War was about slavery. Those who say no are just ashamed of it. They don't want to admit they are wrong. You can put it up in your yard at home be happy with that.

@@princesszahara6953It stands for southern pride. It's not racist or anti-black. If anything, it represents anti-northern.
And why did the South fight the north? Perhaps maybe because they wanted to keep slavery going.
lol its by far the most racist thing in America on top of a flag for traitors who LOST
When we forget our past we are doomed to repeat it....
Exactly. That's what BLM is doing. A bunch of communists
Why do we need statues to remember? Are statues a form of honor and respect none which confederates deserve. Isn't it enough to teach about it history classes that way we don't forget?

They should have never took that flag down we’re the civil war started
It’s a flag that represents the beginning of slavery, of course they should’ve taken it down
Cesar Miranda lmao the flag doesn’t represent the beginning of slavery if anything it represents the end. Slavery has existed aslong as men. The Egyptians took white people as slaves, The Natives took other tribes as slaves, Africans took Africans as slaves. Im black and i fly the flag my family flys it. It doesn’t replace hate it represents southern pride.
XxTripleOK Gaming the flag here in the United States doesn’t symbolize the end of slavery, that had it before the war began, and it has nothing to do with southern pride, it is the dehumanization of black people around the United States treated like animals. That is what the flag represents and that’s what it will always be
XxTripleOK Gaming no matter what you say the flag was created to symbolize a different part of the us at the time that agreed that slaves should be kept as their own and their property, the flag is a disgrace to not only our country but the people who suffered under that flags and to defeat the people bearing it

The flag can or cannot be racist; it depends on the context in which it is used.
