on June 26 to call on the Mississippi legislature to create a new state flag"that represents ALL of the citizens."
"I understand many view the current flag as a symbol of heritage and Southern pride," the country music superstar said in a. "But we have to realize that this flag is a direct symbol of terror for our black brothers and sisters." Mississippi's state flag features three horizontal blue, white and red stripes with a square bearing the controversial Confederate battle emblem, the last flag in the US to display it.
"Now, it is time for the world to meet the Mississippi of today and not the Mississippi of 1894," urged Hill, who calls herself a"proud MS girl.""I love my home state. When I think of Mississippi, I think of my mom and dad, the church I grew up in, high school football, and where I fell in love with music."that mandates the removal of the state flag and bans future use of the Confederate emblem.
For all no matter what color of skin if they were involved the need to be punished
Justin please don't back down
First-rate!
Half the people who see the statues don’t even know who they are or what they did. They defacing monuments of northern heroes who helped blacks
History is history.
Wait, isn’t he the dick in the box dude?
Ridiculous!
Thank you
You've been a favorite of mine for many years but you, sir, are not a qualified source of info.
All countries have a 'vile' history of oppression. There were conquers throughout time and the defeated are oppressed. That is the way it was. We should remember our history of oppression through statues and studying history. Most students or peopledon't know history.
I just want to know, When are they taking the Satan statue down or are we okay with that? Taking for a friend.
Another opinion that really doesn’t matter
The best and only way to respect others is to threat them equally, no better or worse than you.
JT and Taylor Swift should be removed from this planet!!
Celebrities once again should just shut their holes jtimberlake taylorswift13 especially the white ones who just NOW that Trump is POTUS, but remained silent during Obama, came up to these conclusions
So does removing Trump
Let's remove everything about Timberlake because he turned into an idiot just now
Moron
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
Who is Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift?
Whatever happened to learning from history and making strides for a better country.?Tear down confederate statues, ok. Jefferson wrote about his own misgivings. Current logic would mean changing the name of NYC, WAPO, NYT, etc. if you start, you can’t pick and choose.
This is a start Timberlake .... But in the name of Janet, you still ain't paid what you owe. Still not invited to the cookout. 😑
Which statues? General Grant? Abraham Lincoln? James Pike? Frederick Douglass? Maybe the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial? Perhaps the Elk in Portland? The removal of statues has nothing to do with respect for black people.
Justin who & Taylor whaat?
Depends. If ALL they did was oppression ..ok. But many did 95% good. And, while ur at it jtimberlake - remember... most business today use the cheapest labor possible and exploit people from wherever they can - ull have to remove them too. h1b wsj hireamerican
BS
As usual....pandering!
if you take down these statues, then take down ALL OF THEM that have glorified our history of war and conquest. because our history is filled with violent acts, and we have statues to all of it. OR, simply accept that it was what it was, and move forward.
Too bad you can’t remove your cornrows from your history.
FonzBentley Nah what happened Mr. Man of the woods?
The thing is, it is history. Taking it down may make uncaring people feel better, but doesn’t change what happened. The black people of today blame everyone but themselves for not having worked hard to get ahead in their life. They think it’s ok to destroy others merits.
Dude, stay in your lane. You’re just showing how uneducated you are
Says the guy caught cheating on his wife! He needs to worry about his own problems.
He and most celebrities live in glass houses.
lol, celebrity bandwagon liberals, next
This is what participation trophies have done to kids.
Then petition to have them removed. Someone’s disdain for a statue does not give them the right to just tear it down.
I could care less about a guy's opinion that writes a song about his dick in a box
sandyan57549867 I understand why people want confederate statues removed, but they should not be destroyed. After all, they are a part of our country’s history, ugly as it can be. These statues should be preserved in museums. They are part of our history. AmericanHistory
How about removing yourself, author?
Removing them for respect of black people who have no respect for their own people or even care about their lives by being the biggest racist and killer of black people.
RZJORDAN JT you just went along with the MSM narrative. BLM claims that there is systemic racism against POC. That is a lie and that is what their “protest” is about. Go and shout this in Africa, not in U.K. or USA.
United States is currently least racist country ever period
The presence of waiters in cafe or other place is unpleasant for me, it is for me slave labor! ☹️
Ok if we all agree on removal of the people on the confederate side during civil war....but why people before it and why founding fathers?..the confederate statues can be removed becoz they were for slavery but the people who owned slaves earlier didn't had to fight for it 1/2
Fkng kiss ass
As for slavery, we can say that even now it exists in its gross form all over the world. It is enough to go into the house of any wealthy person and you will find there white and black people who work as servants, they are given to live there, food, clothes, etc.
Yeah right from a person who has millions & millions of dollars he talks about equality for all.
It seems to be easy to solve the problem of humanity, just destroy the statues and everything is gona be wall right.
Ahh, Professor Timberlake is here to teach us history.
it's stupid! removing statues does not erase history
And let's face the facts all this bullshit about racism is just a political ploy once the election is over people will forget them Timberlake and Taylor's opinion .... Just like how they forgetting the little children killed by gun violence over the weekend ...no one is saying
They either respect themselves or not ... If they can't be happy in their own skin then there isn't anything anyone can do to make them happy living in a equal world yet they still not happy .... So free that they can do whatever they want yet still not happy...
Hey Justin...
🤦♂️.
If jtimberlake was truly woke, he would allow the peaceful protestors to stay at his mansions for free! He’d also give them all his money and apologize for his racist behavior.
Speaking of disgusting Spotify had 2 million songs with the N word , change that first before you blame something else
So JT considers the Statues Abraham Lincoln & Frederick Douglas as 'Oppresive'. These are the Statues of Abolitionists, folks. It's really about Destruction of America's History.
Idiots, just like mayor and governor of New York.
of course it is, and virtue signaling over acts of substance and meaning is a staple of the entertainment industry, said Ned Beatty's oldest boy... so yeah, ban flags, tear down statues as long as you never shine that light under your own bed you can maintain your delusion.
Arson, murder, and destruction of public property makes no one more equal.
Oh, well, gee since Justin Timberlake said it then it must be right🙄
What kind of drugs is he on 😏
People with low self-esteem find it disgusting to be looked down upon by others
tearing down racist symbols is cool but have you ever tried tearing down racist systems?
Bla bla bla bla bla, equality? 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
All Confederate traitorous statues need to go. It’s total blasphemy to the USA to glorify the the Confederacy. - Get your history from libraries & museums.
Timberlake is a moron
I don’t want to hear anything more on the black oppression in the United States. South Africa, up until t 1990s racism was legal. But no one is educated enough to even look into this. wake up. Stop feeding into something that was supposed to have ended
There needs be be a conversation about which ones to remove and what to do with them. It’s not up to rioters.
Just trying to be relevant again...go away Hollywood. No one cares what you think or what your opinions are. You are for entertainment purposes ONLY!!
The statues need to stay period. MLK in dc needs to go if any more go.
True
Statue Lives Matter
it erases evidence that we can point to in order to show the history of the democratic party. As soon as those statues are gone, they will re-write history and there will be no evidence of the real history.
Always to be on the right side in anticipatory obedience. McCarthy is alive.
Христианская мораль требует прощения друг друга. Или христианские ценности вас больше не волнуют?
Messing with tombstones and grave markers is how you wake up angry ghosts.
No it’s letting them get and do what they want. Sickening
The dumbest thing people have ever done throughout history was fight over inanimate objects.
Stock up on knee pads Justin.
How does removing history equal equality?
But, but, you didn't you offer to pay protesters bail? I'm confused.
Yes and those who want to hold on to these Racist statues I ask you to tell me why you are sooo desperate to hang on to them!
Thank god we have rich Hollywood elites to be interviewed but then return to their gated mansions with private security detail to preach about defunding the police and racial inequality.
If you hate America please move
Well stated Justin!
STOP destructing history!
White celebrities 🤦🏻♂️
Now what about all the non confederate statues being removed? 🙄
Remember when he ruined Janet Jackson's career and went on to perform as soul singer catering to black community... yea
Stunning. Brave.
