Every sunday night Al Jazeera America presents gripping films, from the worlds top documentary directors this is just the beginning of somthing much bigger. Tomorrow. The premier of budrus the primary concern of the fronts is security that trumps everything how could a wall designed to divide, unite israelis and palestinians Al Jazeera America presents. Budrus premiers tomorrow night 9 eastern. Instances that were race driven in our country, specifically against africanamericans. Whether hijacked or not, it became that symbol. For some reason those emboldened themselves to come after the people because of their difference, but flying th flag what is it about the flag that personifies what they did when they did the evil deeds. Thats how we look about it, those fighting against integration, people being able to live in peace in our society, those that would come to the black community and involve themselves in lynching and burning churches. Its part of the history which the dixie flag represents. I dont know why we cant have a discussion without saying things like nazi flags. Its insulting. You know its inflammatory. I wish you would cut it out. Why cant you and i, mr shelton, sit and have a peaceful conversation, find what we agree on and not agree on, and hash it out, instead of this nonsense. Let me tell you this what is at stake is liberty. America created a brand of liberty that no one else has been able to get hold of. Thats the sole of the american republic. The Heritage Foundation in the wournal ranked the wall street journal ranked us 12th. Is that what you expect. World audit ranked america as 15th in the world for democracy. How can that be. Why is your heritage more important than mine . It is not. If we celebrated everyones heritage, sir, mobilize mobilize wed have then then wed have then we would have hundreds of flags. Reporters without borders reports in 2009 the United States was ranked 20th in the world in freedom of the press. We dropped to 4th place. How much more liberty do we have to lose before we are no longer america. Anassessmentors. Jim . I think we are going far afield. In truth, you know, typically in our country the antidote to speech that you dont like is more speech. Historically, whether done by the right or left it attempts to suppress speech or an idea doesnt work. The idea maybe becomes submerged. In the internet world i am sure its impossible to stop an idea. We restrain conduct, not ideas. What we so is the way the founders envisioned the marketplace of ideas to work that wed have an open Exchange Without government being involved. Whether it has so many thousand signatures, as one participant told us, or an organization, thats the value, where the First Amendment comes into play. I think we are better off having open discussions than suppressing speech. The point you have doesnt work. Let me agree. Thats why we do the show. We dont have enough opportunities to have the discussions. Its important to understand the point of view. We disagree. Lets agree to disagree and have a civil conversation. What the flag represents to the Africanamerican Community is outrageous. When we look at incidents that happened, with the flag flying in full flow. Its something that led to suppression and segregation but death, lynchings, burnings and other things. Its unfortunate traditions. For some reason that flag symbolises people being emboldened to do these things. You cannot disagree that the clan flies that flag. The nazi party flies the flag. Its the shield in the arm of the lord flying the flag. We are out of time. Hilary, michael, kristin thank you for joining us. See you online. The nays are 192. The u. S.
