Hello I'm a half black and half white American and for me the Confederate flag has never been used in any racist way against me! I personally fly my stars and bars flag with pride because I'm proud to be from the south!
I'm black and yes I do fly the rebel flag not confederate its rebel or Dixie and no it does not stand for racism anymore but I get your point and understand
On the Confederate Flag: to the majority of the South is is no longer about racism. It is about a tie to your southern roots, and being proud to be from the South. Not matter your race, skin color, creed or nationality. It is about loving where you come from, and not being ashamed of being Southern born. When black people fly it, I don't think it is because they are ignorant. I think it shows that they can overcome, and still be proud to be from the South. Just the same as you wearing a Lakers jersey because you are a fan and you are proud to say that you are.
Biggest thing about the confederacy was to rebel against government because of high taxes and other issues arising at the time and people forget that the civil war wasn't about slavery until Abraham lincoln made it so because that's what appeared the general public and got supporters to find the way cause in reality the north was about to lose
The confederate flag was never about slavery it was about being from the South, most Southerners didn’t have slaves (Hell they could barely survive) and those are the ones who had no choice but to fight. Remember the civil war was started because ELITES from the South that was backed by France 🇫🇷 U.K. 🇬🇧 Canada 🇨🇦 and (the spy headquarters for the Confederate Army was in 🇨🇦 Canada) a couple other nations wanted to split the country, President Abraham Lincoln (Republican) was smart to add the emancipation of slaves after the civil war had already started because most Americans (even many in the South) wanted it but their were Northerners (democratic politicians and voters) that were more racist and didn’t want blacks living amongst them. General Robert E. Lee (who never owned slaves) was considered Americans best General was asked by President Abraham Lincoln to lead the North, he declined because he knew that most of the young men and boys going to fight were poor Southerners and he wouldn’t abandon them!!!!!! If the South was so racist then you’d think they would’ve just started killing Black Americans (like the genocides in WWII and in Africa between nations and tribes in the 1990’s) but it didn’t happen because racism wasn’t a huge Americans issue amongst common folks (the Democrats were behind the racism and today they use it as another why to control certain people that don’t understand history or the truth)!!!!!!! England started slavery here and they purchased Black tribes that had been captured during war by the most powerful Black African tribe and were sold by them to others and the Arabs. The Arabs purchased many and sold most of them, people seem to forget (or pretend to) that 16-18 percent that came here (USA) and the other 86-88 percent went to South, Central America along with Mexico (amazing how that’s never discussed). Arabs still have slavery and Mexico (cartels) Central and South America still has a huge problem with slavery (both sexual and forced labor) nowadays. We need to work on stopping the growing trafficking of slaves that’s happening right now, whether it’s sexual or labor slavery of young children and young adults and it’s happening right here in the USA 🇺🇸!!!!!!!!! The media doesn’t want to talk about the real problem’s going on, they’re to busy pushing the elites narrative and propaganda!!!!!!! We have to remember real history and that the Democrats started the KKK, were behind segregation and fought to try and keep blacks from voting, it’s amazing how MLK Jr. (republican) was always reminding Black Americans the truth and that no politician can fix your life, but now they’re literally spitting on his grave. He was right that a person should be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, yet now the leftists (actually Marxists) are saying the opposite!!!!!!!
Liberalism is the cause of a lot of problems, Most liberals like the idea of the society being the issue. Therefore they like the idea of society taking credit for actions of people (Like criminals. "He is a product society"). Libertarians, so close to liberals in name sake, but not even close in beliefs. The libertarians like the constitution, they like their rights. They are most likely to fight for their rights considering conservatism didn't exist till the 1900s. Conservatives, conservatives are closest to Libertarians, except they want their rights and to be left alone. (Currently conservatives are fighting the most, because when you push a group enough they will eventually be pushed to the edge and will explode) Therefore they are often called erratic and seem to be the worst, they in faith and namesake are not even close. Religion is important, conservatives believe that regardless of it if they are atheists, Christians, Catholics, or anything else. At the end of the day, all sides are bad, and no one should define themselves any which way, it gets you stuck in a trap of being against everyone else. Today if you are conservative you HAVE to be against Liberals, You have to hate them, and they have to hate you. The system is using us against each other, we aren't fighting the system anymore, why do you think they are pushing for a federal mask mandate (Which is illegal), why are they continuing to lockdown the country (When starvation kills more than the coronavirus), why are they not handing out the money that we paid for? (McConnell vetoing the 2k$) When we all realize that they are all against us, republican, democrat; We can finally do exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of. And yes I didn't copy paste this.
@@tonyravioli1982 I'm a libertarian conservative, but true liberalism is good and accepting. The left has twisted and separated itself from actual liberalism.
Conservatives just want to work, raise their families and be left alone. We can get along with anyone and we are willing to talk to here the other side.
Confederate flag is a southern pride thing. True southerners fly it for where they have come from and proud of it .. not racist most of us have black friends who fly it as well. I think racism is ignorant as hell. RHEC 🤘🏻 love the reaction video.
I’m white & live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and my black neighbor 2 doors down flies it. We get together at least once a month to watch football together or just grill or help each other mechanically with our cars. I never even associated racism with the rebel flag until the last year when a bunch of hippies told me that I was r- if I didn’t agree with their divisive Commie ideology. We fly it for our Southern culture. Heck, I never even flew the Southern flag until a few months ago when I had enough of being called every name in the book and dammit, this is ‘merica so it’s on my house now. Full Disclosure : I was born in a Communist country in Eastern Europe and nope, not gonna let that happen here.
Confederate flag \= southern cross Southern cross was flown to show respect for those who died, now it is just a cultural heritage thing that some yankees don’t understand, not being from the south. Plenty who fly or have it aren’t racist, it’s just an emblem of the south.
Welcome to the rabbit hole my friends. Just like Calhoun, there ain't a racist bone in his body, even though he reps Southern Pride. Probably the most versatile artist you'll ever come across.
Also, if we came to another civil war it shouldn't be about race or religion. It should be about social and societal views. If we had to choose a side of the people or the government, guarantee we'd pick each other over the government. Also, kudos on the Daughters of the Confederacy reference. Ideology vs actions are where we find a true common ground.
Furthermore your comments on BLM, Tom Macdonald addressed it in your last video that you also acknowledged. BLM has gotten so far away from its original intent that now white folks can't support it anymore because it took a far left turn its not taken as seriously. Sorry for the comments, just following along the video! Lol
Bruh!!!!! If a woman becomes president simply because she's a woman, thats the definition of sexism lmao Last comment as the video ends. Really appreciate your perspective brother. Keep it up!!!!!!
Black Lives Matter was put together by George Soros and other Rick white Democratic men to push racism and keep us the people at odds. BLM is all funded by rich white men. Look it up.
@@CloutKillz you would actually be incorrect on the founding and start of BLM. The BLM movement started in 2013 when George Zimmerman was acquitted by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. It started when Garza began writing a series of post on facebook. In the last post she wrote, “black people. I love you. I love us. Our lives matter" her friend Cullors responded to the post saying “#BlackLivesMatter.” their friend Tometi gave it support. Between these 3 ladys and their persistent is how BLM started.

@@ashersdad1755(cough) Tom McDonald (cough) Church reached out at the beginning of his RUclips career. Leading to one of the only features Tom has ever done. (Traveler ft Struggle Jennings, Tom McDonald)
I am a CONSERVATIVE and I feel that black lives matter would have been a great organization. Unfortunately, the liberals and democrats had to get involved and destroyed any respect that people may have had for BLM. I also believe that an organization should be started to help reduce crime in black neighbor hoods, now that is RESECT and an organization I would strongly agree with. I also believe that all these college kids need educated better than they have been. All organizations need to stay out of politics. God Bless
Understand that but that flag means different things to the Southern country people and the hillbillies love that flag we don't look at it has racism I understand what you're saying and I agree but people got that flag all f***** up and twisted it doesn't mean racism back then yes it might have today in these days we fly the rebel flag because we are Rebels and we like to have a good time that's why I fly my flag everyday I don't give a damn about a skin color shit we can drink a beer together black white hispanic it doesn't matter I love all people just because I rock the rebel flag doesn't mean I'm racist because I love everybody as I love myself
I am not a black or white man. I am only a man. I did not choose to look the same/different as/from you. Yet I carry the scars of battle, the embarrassment of defeat, the humiliation of deception, the hatred for treachery, the outrage of injustice, the regret of evil actions, the shame of prejudice, the burden of being a historian and teacher, knowledge of self, the light of truth, strength of body and mind to triumph, the indomitable will to continue the struggle, the need to be loved if only by oneself,, the capacity to forgive, intelligence to understand and the hope for something better of my ancestors. And I still burnt my pancake this morning. 😠
Man I have to give you props you have replied to the same sentences over and over again. While probably not sharing their view you still show respect. I hope you achieve great things man we need more people like you.
The flag as we know it was born not as a symbol, but as a very practical banner. The commanders of the Confederate army in Virginia (then known at the Army of the Potomac) sought a distinctive emblem as an alternative to the Confederacy’s first national flag-the Stars and Bars-to serve as a battle flag. The Stars and Bars, which the Confederate Congress had adopted in March 1861 because it resembled the once-beloved Stars and Stripes, proved impractical and even dangerous on the battlefield because of that resemblance. (That problem was what compelled Confederate commanders to design and employ the vast array of other battle flags used among Confederate forces throughout the war.)Battle flags become totems for the men who serve under them, for their esprit de corps, for their sacrifices. Just stating my opinion. Much love and respect y'all, love y'all's reactions.
i like how open minded you are an genuine your ideas are. im and adam calhoun and upchurch fan and im now a subscriber of yours now keep up the positive vibes!
@@Camking757 Any similar videos that don't come from VOX on the subject you could share? VOX is well known as propaganda with the liberal/deep state agenda.
Respect man! I’m a conservative and I can agree with just about everything you said, and like you said, even the things I disagree with, I still respect. It’s crazy when the right has become the true party of tolerance. As long as you aren’t disrespectful to myself and loved ones, or aren’t hurting innocent people and our country, idgaf! Most conservatives just want to be left alone. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders G! Keep it up and God bless.
We do what we do for our kids!! Ill give my last to give all kids another chance to really know love in ones self and for respect of others. It starts with us in home!
Blm is definitely an organization. It didn't start that way but that's how it is now. Love you opinions for sure! Keep speaking fam. I'm white and totally voted for Obama the first go around, then I realized his policies sucked and didn't vote for him the second go around. Yep, Nikki Haley for president 2024!
@@kevinwood9284 Unfortunately when you have people who just drop comments like that they don’t have an answer for you so they won’t come back and see whether or not you even responded
You just got a new subscriber. I agree we must remember in order to not repeat. We dont honor atrocities we honor heroes and victims that rose above it. Imho great reaction btw love having the fam involved.
All 3 are good...and I agree it was with in a week or 2 of YZ hitting youtube that I noticed everyone at work either start asking me if I'd heard of him or would hear me listening to one of his albums in my car and ask if it was "that guy"
The daughters of the confederacy paid for a statue in my home town to remember fallen confederate soldiers. The town council recently voted to take it down. I guess that soldier's struggles will be forgotten.
Been watching your channel all day you have a lot of unbiased opinions that hit point. You should start a podcast if you dont have one already. You have a beautiful family stay up brodie.
Alot of the northern states had plantations and black people had plantations to and they said the southern states were easy and they were treated way worse in the north than the south and the war was because they were getting taxed and their export going to England
You are doing amazing work and I like all your content keep pushing forward and keep up the hard work fam wish you well hope you stay safe out here fam
Also my guy regardless of if I ever disagree with you I don’t care because you have a right to think and say what you want. Btw I am conservative and I did vote for Trump.
So I never really comment much on RUclips but watching your videos, I have felt compelled to speak on something. I instantly subscribed to yalls channel because I have such a high respect for your open mind. We are seeing such division right now and it's all because people don't care to listen to each other about how their feeling or what they are thinking. And being a biracial person being raised by my southern family, it's amazing the closed minded people I have ran into in my life.. Mad respect to you and your family and keep up the good reactions. God bless
I'm new but me and my family love listening to y'alls reactions. Highly suggest to listen to klonopin by adam calhoun. Just heard it yesterday and I loved it. Really would love to hear yalls opinion.
One of the things I love about Church is he speaks what he sees. He doesn’t judge people on their skin colour, gender or anything. He judges people based on their character and that’s how it should be.
Bro, I love how you have your fam in there letting people know it’s family first. Reaction was dope, but doing it with fam was 🔥. #RESPECT #FAMILYFIRST #FAMILYFOREVER
I would like to say the “confederate flag” is actually the Virginia battle flag and that’s what we fly today I would never fly the confederate flag. The names just got changed
None of the flags ever represented racism or slavery, and for the battle flag, it was used by all states of the Confederate States of America, it did however originate in the Army of Northern Virginia.
@@wyattnichols9648 the confederate flag was one of the United States flag of the south the rebel flag was known as the Tennessee battle flag which was later adopted by the democrats naming them self Dixiecrats
#RHEC it just means Raise Hell Eat Cornbread and I'll gladly look up the daughter of Confederates but just to let you know the Confederate flag doesn't stand for what it did, hell not at all. And I know it feels like it's disproportionated but its because you only are showed one side on the media and news. And for the Obama comment I just hated Obama based on his politics. I hated the stupid wars and a couple of other things.
While I agree with 98% of this comment. I have to ask have you personally met Obama?...... because if not how can you hate him based solely on his opinion/view in the political sense? I can get behind not agreeing with him but not judging him personally based on his veiws
@@ashersdad1755 I can’t say I hate Obama because I don’t know him but what I can do is say that I don’t believe that I would like him as a person and I despise what he stands for. He sent our military into Libya and we never should have been there. As a matter of fact you had military members willingly take dishonorable discharge because they refused to kill these people for political reasons.
Church has tons of remixes you would probably enjoy. He is not like all the other rappers talking about cars clothes and hoes. He raps about it in a country way and where he grew up
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I like the way you look at everything with an open mind and not looking at everything in one perspective
Very conservative here, i want to thank you for the open mindedness. Also want to thank you for bringing a couple topics to light for me. IMO this is the best way for everyone to come together, we need to speak and also listen to each other. We have radicalist on both sides of the political spectrum and it is sad. Everyone needs to come together and fight the people destroying this great country, the media. Malcolm X had a wonderful quote about the media, "If you are not careful, the newspaper will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing"
Conservative here: just wanted to say I agree with you so much on just about everything. About to go through your catalog to give you views and subbed. I appreciate you speaking out for what you believe in dont let anyone stop you from speaking your mind. Side note: you have a beautiful family, keep doing what your doing man!

@@gloriakuhn8670 yuhhhh that’s facts! 🤙🏻
You can't forget jelly roll and Savannah Dexter!!! All of them are fire right now🔥
Man, i really appreciate your channel, and your perspective.
I respect you my brother!I wish everyone,any color was as open minded as you!

@@Camking757 Any similar videos that don't come from VOX on the subject you could share? VOX is well known as propaganda with the liberal/deep state agenda.
@@johnjohnnston3498 yeah vox is horrible.
Much love and respect for y'all. The country could learn a thing or two from you guys. Stay strong, stay blessed 🙏
Beautiful little kid
Nice to see a good family influencing the internet 😂
Respect man! I’m a conservative and I can agree with just about everything you said, and like you said, even the things I disagree with, I still respect. It’s crazy when the right has become the true party of tolerance. As long as you aren’t disrespectful to myself and loved ones, or aren’t hurting innocent people and our country, idgaf! Most conservatives just want to be left alone. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders G! Keep it up and God bless.

Love this reaction Channel just came across it keep it up
We do what we do for our kids!! Ill give my last to give all kids another chance to really know love in ones self and for respect of others. It starts with us in home!
Thanks for speaking openly and honestly much respect!
Blm is definitely an organization. It didn't start that way but that's how it is now. Love you opinions for sure! Keep speaking fam. I'm white and totally voted for Obama the first go around, then I realized his policies sucked and didn't vote for him the second go around. Yep, Nikki Haley for president 2024!
Nikki is a sell out
@@mannygonzalez2868 how did she sell out? I'm always open for stuff I don't know about.
@@kevinwood9284 Unfortunately when you have people who just drop comments like that they don’t have an answer for you so they won’t come back and see whether or not you even responded
@@SickGirlRocks facts
Yo, another good take. I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with your videos lol I dig the channel. Blessings again to you and your family.
Him and adam has a bunch of songs together "die tonight" "hooligan" "country"
You just got a new subscriber. I agree we must remember in order to not repeat. We dont honor atrocities we honor heroes and victims that rose above it. Imho great reaction btw love having the fam involved.
Try Melatonin or Parachute , YZ is most people’s first Upchurch song
All 3 are good...and I agree it was with in a week or 2 of YZ hitting youtube that I noticed everyone at work either start asking me if I'd heard of him or would hear me listening to one of his albums in my car and ask if it was "that guy"
Or Rolling Stone that's his best song he's ever at least statistically speaking it's his most streamed song
If u like melatonin u should listen to klonopin by adam calhoun
Love the channel first time watching and I subscribed
The daughters of the confederacy paid for a statue in my home town to remember fallen confederate soldiers. The town council recently voted to take it down. I guess that soldier's struggles will be forgotten.
Again, this precious little child is right there listening/watching all of this!!!
RHEC .. Raise Hell Eat Cornbread
Been a sub for about two weeks love the content and authenticity! Good peoples
They are a reminder not to repeat history.(҂⌣̀_⌣́)
Been watching your channel all day you have a lot of unbiased opinions that hit point. You should start a podcast if you dont have one already. You have a beautiful family stay up brodie.
Alot of the northern states had plantations and black people had plantations to and they said the southern states were easy and they were treated way worse in the north than the south and the war was because they were getting taxed and their export going to England
WOW! An honest well thought out reaction! 🙋🏽♀️🦅☀️🦅✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨🔥✨
We stand together as a country and stop burn stuff and we all cry as people
Bro u guys are so real that’s why I subscribe‼️
If you really want to get into history, look at all the black soldiers that fought foe the south..just saying.
Definitely like that yall are open to minded and I totally agree!! Both sides need to be heard and both sides need to be respected.
We are living in a “THEY OWE US” generation.......it is okay to agree to disagree
I like that yall are open minded we need more people like y'all
I'd love to see a reaction to "Raise Hell and Eat Cornbread" and "Ones Like Us" back to back to see the comparison between Church then and now.
This is great idea and I 100% support it.
You are doing amazing work and I like all your content keep pushing forward and keep up the hard work fam wish you well hope you stay safe out here fam
Also my guy regardless of if I ever disagree with you I don’t care because you have a right to think and say what you want. Btw I am conservative and I did vote for Trump.
This guy is the most honest person ever
I like how open minded you are I don’t like when people are closed minded
Thanks for being smart and seeing both sides👍
We need conversations but it’s hard to have them when social media shuts then down constantly.
So I never really comment much on RUclips but watching your videos, I have felt compelled to speak on something. I instantly subscribed to yalls channel because I have such a high respect for your open mind. We are seeing such division right now and it's all because people don't care to listen to each other about how their feeling or what they are thinking. And being a biracial person being raised by my southern family, it's amazing the closed minded people I have ran into in my life.. Mad respect to you and your family and keep up the good reactions. God bless
I like yall...if more ppl were more open minded like yall it would be an amazing country..#allopinionsmatter
First time watching you and I agree 100% you got my sub
I'm new but me and my family love listening to y'alls reactions. Highly suggest to listen to klonopin by adam calhoun. Just heard it yesterday and I loved it. Really would love to hear yalls opinion.
We appreciate it thank you for the support 🙏
I agree, that's a good song.
One of the things I love about Church is he speaks what he sees. He doesn’t judge people on their skin colour, gender or anything. He judges people based on their character and that’s how it should be.
He wrote this three years ago before it was this bad. He's very well educated.
Bro, I love how you have your fam in there letting people know it’s family first. Reaction was dope, but doing it with fam was 🔥. #RESPECT #FAMILYFIRST #FAMILYFOREVER
I don't remember who it was who said it but someone said we have to remember the past or we are doomed to repeat it.
I think Upchurch said it
Winston Churchill #CREEKSQUAD
I’m loving y’alls reaction vids stumbled across yall when I was watching an Tim Pool vid
I would like to say the “confederate flag” is actually the Virginia battle flag and that’s what we fly today I would never fly the confederate flag. The names just got changed
None of the flags ever represented racism or slavery, and for the battle flag, it was used by all states of the Confederate States of America, it did however originate in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Just subscribed. I love the fact you are open-minded, oppose negativity, and from this video good content.
#rhec stands for rasie hell eat corn bread and thats whats on his back
After watching this video you gained a new follower and mad respect
There’s also a difference between the confederate flag and the rebel flag
@@wyattnichols9648 the confederate flag was one of the United States flag of the south the rebel flag was known as the Tennessee battle flag which was later adopted by the democrats naming them self Dixiecrats
The reason Upchurch writes songs like this is to keep awareness on all things and keeps the discussion going
RHEC: Raisin hell eaten cornbread
The fact that you're willing to start honest conversations about these subjects is great, to bad others don't feel the same.
#RHEC it just means Raise Hell Eat Cornbread and I'll gladly look up the daughter of Confederates but just to let you know the Confederate flag doesn't stand for what it did, hell not at all. And I know it feels like it's disproportionated but its because you only are showed one side on the media and news. And for the Obama comment I just hated Obama based on his politics. I hated the stupid wars and a couple of other things.
While I agree with 98% of this comment. I have to ask have you personally met Obama?...... because if not how can you hate him based solely on his opinion/view in the political sense? I can get behind not agreeing with him but not judging him personally based on his veiws
@@ashersdad1755 you know what you're 100% correct. I just hate his political beliefs and the fact he put us in wars not so much him as a person.
@@ashersdad1755 well he also made the war on police, worse.
@@ashersdad1755 I can’t say I hate Obama because I don’t know him but what I can do is say that I don’t believe that I would like him as a person and I despise what he stands for. He sent our military into Libya and we never should have been there. As a matter of fact you had military members willingly take dishonorable discharge because they refused to kill these people for political reasons.
Yo bro you spitting the truth, they should always stay up as a remembrance of where we came from.
Should react to hollerboys by upchurch
I just run across this your channel and I like it !!! you guys seem real !!
Go back and look at how many well respected black rappers have the Confederate flag on the cover of their album.
Name 10 Lmfao
I caught this song about two months ago and i listen to it everyday the hook touches me inside
Church has tons of remixes you would probably enjoy. He is not like all the other rappers talking about cars clothes and hoes. He raps about it in a country way and where he grew up
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I like the way you look at everything with an open mind and not looking at everything in one perspective
Keep them up to never forget. EXACTLY!
Very conservative here, i want to thank you for the open mindedness. Also want to thank you for bringing a couple topics to light for me. IMO this is the best way for everyone to come together, we need to speak and also listen to each other. We have radicalist on both sides of the political spectrum and it is sad. Everyone needs to come together and fight the people destroying this great country, the media. Malcolm X had a wonderful quote about the media, "If you are not careful, the newspaper will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing"
Hey, I just subbed and will be on a binge of some of ya'lls videos
That baby is soo damn cute!! Love his chatter. So cute!😍
I agree exactly that is the reason we need those statues!
You got a new Subscriber. I wish there were more open minded people like yourself.
Conservative here: just wanted to say I agree with you so much on just about everything. About to go through your catalog to give you views and subbed. I appreciate you speaking out for what you believe in dont let anyone stop you from speaking your mind. Side note: you have a beautiful family, keep doing what your doing man!
I like your fresh thinking mind! 🤙 We need that, do your thang brotha.
I love ur family vibe. Keep up the good work
Hill billy here who loves your point of view and commentary . Keep up the good content
Digging the video reactions!!! Up church has some fire music
I have waited years to have someone react to this song! It's a deep amazing someone!
