- Mississippi is joining the rest of the U.S. by removing the Confederate emblem from its 125-year-old state flag. Many see the symbol as representing racism. Eric Sorensen looks at this historic milestone amid America's reckoning with racial injustices.

My question now is: how will the flag’s redesign look?
Yea
Like the Bonnie Blue.
My guess is the flag will be identical to Yugoslavia, or they will change the canton to just blue background with stars
They French now.
It Will be Blood red, Hammer and sickle left corner. If room a rainbow
At 2:22 anyone else noticed a women holding a Naruto poster saying "Believe it"? 😂
That's a cool poster ngl
Azriel Shekelbergzuckerowiczgoldmannsteinmowitz Nice, very nice.
Such a weeb moment
The creator of the Confederate flag is William Tappan Thompson. Thompson called it "The White man's Flag". Thompson clearly explained the meaning of the flag, Thompson said," As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be problematical of our cause".
The creator of the flag on knows what it meant. So to say its not racist is dishonest.
To put up with this in 2020 is just astonishing.
When the south was miss represented by the strong central government of the north. The south saw it much of a threat to their democracy and liberty as we are currently seeing today. Large central governments are misrepresenting the suburbs telling those not in favor of being told how to live their lives. The confederate flag is waved by those who feel the threat of a rising central government and which flag to better represent the rise of a silent majority to protest a country that has a history of oppressing ones rights? Waved by those of all colors, the flag has been switched to represent those willing to break free from a tyrannical government. Not the owning of slaves.

Many union veterans would disagree with you on that “You know they do not care for history. When they erect their monuments, it is to honor their dead and to vaunt their rebellious acts.”- Adjuntant General J.L. Shook of G.A.R Post 88 in a letter to John bachelor, November 5th 1889
Stop pretending to be smart with that quote dimwit. You know full well why those statues were put up there.
You say that like people put up Confederate flags and statues to mourn their atrocities but actually they're putting them up to honour them as the good guys and erase all the wrong they've done. That's quite the opposite of learning from history. It's revisionist history.
THERE. ARE. HISTORY. BOOKS. DAMMIT
In Georgia, the Confederate battle flag was reintroduced as an element of the state flag in 1956, just two years after the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. It was considered by many to be a protest against school desegregation.[27] It was also raised at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) during protests against integration of schools.[28]
That's the virginia battle flag not the Confederate flag. The amount of people that dont know this is astonishing and concerning. If you're a news channel at least have accurate news.
I mean, that's an additional reason why it should not represent Mississippi. Plus I'd argue that the troublesome part is only the top-right index, which is the confederate flag with slightly different proportions. Regardless, as the Virginian battle flag flew for the confederate cause, the two are the sinonymous in meaning. It's the same logic with which you can call SS division signs nazi signs
If you guys want a flag to represent your heritage how about the American flag instead of a traitorous one.
Tim Griffith the British, the same people who ruled unjustly over their colonies.
It a flag everyone needs to calm down you cant remove history
Stephen Kershaw so essentially the British gave no representation to the colonies and taxed them and them only, to repay their debts.
Aiden Wieder the Nazi Flag is just a flag and just apart of history. Some history is not worth bringing back. I am sure if Germany started using the Nazi flag then there would be a public outcry.
You can’t have an American flag as a state flag
Good! Traitors do not have a place in America.
@The Seeker They are traitors, they declared war on the United States of America. And no the union did not make it legal, that is one of the reason we have a civil war 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦. You need to take your own advice once in a while in your ignorant life and do your research.
@The Seeker LMAO, now I know you didn't know anything. But believe whatever you want so you could sleep at night. 🤣😂
@The Seeker I did look it up, it's why you're the one who need to do your research.
@The Seeker Because I am, only you who live in a reality bubble that you build from your own imagination.
@The Seeker And you don't even know your own constitution. The south lost because they have your ancestors who are as a ignorant as you. So go back to your cave traitor. Like I said, if it's "legal" many southern states would have done it already. Just because you wish for it to be legal doesn't mean it is. And no it is not legal back then also. And no, you are far from right, you're only right in your own mind, it's not even facts. Lol! Are you really THAT narcissistic, you really want the sense that you are right about the stuff you pull from your hole? Lol funny.

A wonderful victory for the Union and the United States of America. The brave men that died and fought against the confederacy can now rest easy.
It’s just not right
There is video on RUclips about what the new flag may look like, but idk how I found it though lol
I'm only upset about the General Lee car being removed. That show wasn't racist. As for the statues, put them in a museum.
Exactly, especially people like Stonewall Jackson. He didn't even want to fight for the Confederates, but his state did.
Put them in a park somewhere out of the way, that's what most of the old communist countries did, just show all the old statues in some forsaken park on the edge of town.
Then turn it into a tourist attraction and make money of racist idiots.
The American Dream personified!
Yes even Jefferson Davis’s great great grandson said it belongs in a museum
This is actually old because I live in Mississippi and the gkag is still the same
The add before the video was “Do you believe the news is saying fake things about Trump?
lmaoo
So people wanna take down statues of Robert E Lee who owned no slaves,but are fine with statues of Grant who in fact owned a slave?Also the USA owned slaves for longer than the Confederate states but people are fine with the US flag?what makes the confederate battle flag any different from the US flag or even the confederate flag?
“The US owned slaves longer than the confederacy”
Wasn’t the confederacy part of the us though?
Ethan Really well at one point it separated from the Union to create its own country, for the sake of having their own political ideologies.
Heyman thegreat Grant owned a slave but was against slavery.
Ethan Really they were never their own country until they split
the one and only rusty shakleford either way he still has a slave,even if your statement makes no sense.Robert E Lee was against slavery and owned no slaves while as Grant owned a slave and “was against slavery”according to you
Wait, so you're telling me that you want to fly a flag that represents the very thing that Americans fear? The confederate flag represents the divide of a nation and President Abraham Lincoln once said "a house divided cannot stand," yet in the wake of this you want to keep this flag that both represents the division of the country you claim to love, but also the bloodiest war fought on American soil? That's the flag you want to fly?
well, in modern era confederate flag means White supremacy.
Sorry but Mississippi is NOT the last to act. We still have Georgia’s state flag that has ties to the Confederacy.
Really? Wow, makes sense though. I mean their economy is still great…. Well… I guess you could say mainly ATL, but a lot of people are still operating in debt as well..

@@schrodingeroberscharfuhrer7115 The Confederate Flag with the X is the Confederate BATTLE Flag. Their national flag looked like Georgias modern day flag, except without the yellow building or “In God We Trust” text on it. Georgia literally just took that flag and added that building and text in the area surrounded by stars.

Why not put it to a vote again like they did in the early 2000’s?
Jason Bailey and? This is America; terrorizing people and demanding your views and only your views be heard is NOT what this country is about. If the people want to take it down then have a vote on it. When was this country about terrorizing people from speaking their minds and demanding their views and ONLY their views be heard?
It's a representative democracy, not a direct democracy. If everything were done as you propose, it would only benefit the majority demographic and disenfranchise everyone else.
@@Arbiter3751 Yes. This is America. The Confederates were out greatest enemy.

So Glad that I will be able to finally fly my state flag soon and be proud of it. Great deal. So sick of the heritage rhetoric. Put it in the museum and let them fly it on their private property. The rest of us Mississippians can enjoy the next flag under one umbrella and that's what they don't want. Soooooo happy it's gone!!
So uhhh whats the next flag gonna be?
I never knew aunt Jemima was a offensive brand I just thought she was Canadian because of the maple syrup I’m only 15 so I guess I’m still learning
Good for you kid. You be a sponge and asorbe all the knowledge you can. Don't argue with people, there be plenty of that when you grow up. Enjoy life and get into trouble.
It belongs in a museum
2:40 MS House Speaker:That's right, we gotta show Mississippi's true (good) values.
Passes anti-abortion law, voter suppression bills, trans discrimination bills.
Mississippian’s should fly the real Mississippi flag from their respective private property’s. Keep it flying on your land, your cars and your houses.
Oh stop throwing a tantrum that your precious flag is gone forever. Grow some balls and move on. Christ.
What about the flag of Arkansas?
What about it??? I’m black and from Arkansas, the flag means that Arkansas is the only state with diamonds hence the shape, 25 stars means it was the 25th state to join the US. Red, white, and blue represents USA. The other three stars on the bottom represent Spain, France and the United States, countries that had earlier ruled the land that includes Arkansas. The star on top however can go, because it represents that Arkansas used to be a Confederate state. But other than that there is nothing wrong with my state flag.
@@deuteronomy3166 It can do without text
It is pathetic that states are bowing down to radicals.
They'll put up a non-secular flag instead.
Georgia simply changed there confederate battle flag and replaced it with the confederate nations national flag ....So Georgia still flies the confederate main flag...
I have a couple questions 1 does anyone actually know what the history on those statues were 2 what’s going to happen to the flags are they going to be destroyed because if so I don’t think that they should I think they should be put in a museum somewhere and 3 it’s very hard to change these things because on one hand racism is in bedded in these items well some of them I guess but on the other hand people see these as a year proud thing to look up to not the racist people like the normal Joe’s and getting rid of some things that normal people are Prado kind of hurts everything that everyone’s trying to work towards which is equalism
Most confederate statues were created during jim crow laws and the civil rights movement by the UDC as a way to say your not equal to a white man 2 I feel yes because they weren't made during the Civil war.3 It will take time but i feel most of the pop is happy that there changing it
Well, I'm glad they're finally doing what they really should have done years ago!
George Floyd did not deserve a flag that flag could’ve gone to a dead law enforcement officer or service member he also pointed a gun at a pregnant women no I’m not saying he deserved to die but it’s facts just something that not everybody knows
It's starting to look like he was also an actor.....and that this was staged to create an uprising. You know, usual government stuff.
Kool Aid guy: " Oh NOOO"
The progression that blacks have made over the last 300 years is incredible. Blacks went from slaves to being President of the country. They absolutely dominate in sports and Olympic Games. Over 150 have served in Congress. Mayors to senators. Chief of police. High rank military. Actors musicians rap artists. As far as I’m concerned...The black community has made it, and then some. If a little flag bothers you then I think that’s on you. It’s not waved to represent racism. It’s sad that some see it that way. If someone was to ask me 5 things that describe myself color would never be an answer. I view people as people. This division going on in this country is sickening. It’s hypocrisy at its finest. We’re better then this. Cut the “racist” news and let’s start talking about what’s goin on now not 150 years ago and start planning for a better future where we all benefit as humans.
You talk about the blacks like their history started 300 years ago. Their history didn't start with slavery. It was stolen from them when they were stolen from their land.
AdamMoss14 He means in American history
Imma go out on a limb here and say your white and from the south?
White people still have power over blacks through.. there are so many white people who are racist and don’t even know it.
Ruby Bridges is still alive at 65 years old.. remember when she was little and people stood there threatening to kill her and protesting because they didn’t want her to go to a white school? They had people from the military escort her because it was that bad. That wasn’t too long ago dude.
Goodbye Removing Confederate flag
Sorry we want people to see the flag of the 4th richest state instead of poorest
Im not even 💯 persent white im Hispanic but say keep the confederate flag flying its southern heritage not hate.

In your eyes evidently nothing is wrong with her, and that's the problem.
About damn time
Ultimately a pointless gesture, because the people braying the loudest for the confederate flag to be removed from the state flag are going to find something else to be offended by.
Such sensitive idiots
They don’t know nothing about the unsettled feeling of driving through the country in South Carolina and seeing multiple confederate flags
I'm from nc trust me I'm with you. Everyday I ride to work I see the flag 6 times at least
I live in Chattanooga and on occasion have driven I-75 in GA and there's at least two to three very large Confederate flags I've seen along I-75.

Removing the statue sounds good. Destroying it doesn't, so I hope it's in a museum instead.

Booker T. Washington's Letter to Mamie A. Harrison Rochester N. Y. June 16, 1914"My dear Madam: I am going to take up very carefully the matter of the Confederate Monument about which you wrote me, and see if I can find someone to give the money that is still needed. I am very much interested in the matter and thank you for writing me. During the summer months people with money are very much away from home and it is hard to reach them, so it may be I may not be able to do anything about it until fall. I want to say again how very much we all appreciate the visit of [former Confederate] General George Paul Harrison to Tuskegee. We all realize more and more that men like him are the TRUE FRIENDS of our race, and that any Monument that will keep the fine character of such heroes before the public will prove helpful to both races in the South.Yours truly,Booker T. WashingtonWashington, Booker T. , Papers Volume 13, 1914-15. University of Chicago Press.
Six years ago, I said the Mississippi flag would be redesigned. I said it would only be a matter of time until that confederate emblem is removed ... and I was right.

When they make new Laws & sign them in back rooms we will want some sort of rebel to fight the gov!
Remember- the Confederates didn’t want to kill or fight back people (per say) or they would of just killed their slaves instead of set them free? the confederacy/Rebels fought the new laws , the all white government made , without due proses!
The south’s slaves were part of the family in a lot of places & a huge investment.

Statement the Confederate flag was NEVER a State Flag it was General Lee Battle Flag.
It was also a emblem in the csa flag for years
It represents the confederacy
They should keep the flag but then delete the stars and cross thing then add the Mississippi’s state flower on it in a blue background
