New York rapper Talib Kweli has stepped forward to speak out on the controversy surrounding Shady Records’ Yelawolf and his defense of the Confederate flag.
Kweli hopped onto his Intagram page Tuesday (August 25) to offer up a brief history lesson to Yela about the flag’s true meaning.
Yela took to his social media pages this week to speak out on why he stands behind the Confederate flag.

Historian Ken Burns spoke out on the meaning of the Confederate flag last weekend.
“You know, when the Constitutional Convention happened, there was a man named John J. Chapman, who said slavery was like a sleeping serpent,” Burns told CBS host John Dickerson. “It lay coiled under the table during the deliberations; thereafter, slavery was on everyone’s mind, if not always on his tongue.” (Raw Story)
Earlier this summer, the Confederate flag became a major topic following a horrific South Carolina church shooting.
Charleston County, third largest among the state’s 46 counties, suffered a horrific massacre of nine black people in June by a deranged white youth who publicly idolized the Confederate flag. The county’s population includes a black minority of about 35% and a white majority of about 60%. (LA Times)

This is not about material this is a people saying hey we know you still gonna find legal ways to kill us and treat us like less at every chance but at least be decent enough to keep behind closed doors….
stfu u fucking pussy. go change ya fucking tampon
i guess if your name is liquid vizions than yeah it might be possible to drink to the point that you believe that your a man and that your tough ….but here’s the reality your not..you a dork that hides behinds a computer in his moms basement….im sorry for that….i am also sorry that even though your mom waived her three drink rule that she still cant bring you a father…so because of my sadness ..let me make you a offer i will be your dad no child support but i will pick u up on the weekend and pay a stripper to pretend that your ok….dont worry when she throws up at that thought i will remind her that even melvin can pay and tell her to name her price… i got u..so from now on ALL PEOPLE OF SOHH refer to Liquidvizions as JUSTJR…..i will take care of him like an unwanted bastard baby that continues to be brought back to the maternity ward by women who cant have kids…i will take care of him like abortion found to be illegal mid operation
“React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. I represented slavery, my abstract take on what I know about it, I wrote ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. What are you going to do?,” Ye said in an interview. “[The merch sales?] People just look cool in it. They look nice. It’s colorless. It’s super hood, but it’s super white boy approved at the same time. That’s my style. I don’t look like a rapper. When I started, I wasn’t gangster enough. I’m getting married to Kim Kardashian and I never played in the NBA.” (97.1 Amp Radio)
