the children's names, but i'll never forget canada's dark secret on al jazeera. oh, be the hero world needs right. ah washer. in the news. hello, i'm marianne demising and then a quick look at our main stories. now, molly is becoming increasingly isolated following its 2nd qu, in 9 months. the world bank has now announced its pausing payments just a day off the fonts declared it was halting, military cooperation with molly and forces ah, who lives in the scenes inside the country. hundreds of supported the minute she can gathering in the capital bama code. the valley was encouraged by the influential car depot. the 1st such demonstration since kind of

a need for you to seize pallet last month. nicholas hack has been following the story. would interesting is that most malia and didn't come out in support of the military didn't i chose to stay home and that's because in fact, since the military to into took power, the security situation has gone from bad to worse just this week. we thought attacks from the acadia affiliate germonti, i thought it was the mean in the south of the country and in the center in the north we saw a tag on the us base just a few days ago, perhaps orchestrated by the slamming state in the greater so hard to groups, there are gaining ground and gaining areas where the molly army are retreating and losing control. or in all the top stories, hundreds of people in hong kong have defied battle memorials. mocking china's deadly cracked down into them and square authorities had found the vigil for a 2nd straight year and even arrested one of the organizers. but he didn't stop

protesting from timing on the flashlights and lighting candles in memory of those killed by china's brutal repression of pro democracy protectors. hundreds, if not, thousands of people died during the crackdown in beijing in 1989 is ready to fight duncan aid to palestinians running a medicine in solidarity with the residence of shaft. you're wrong. the neighborhood is at the heart of recent tensions where jewish settlers are trying to forcibly expel palestinian residents. the unrest box a war between israel and garza last month killing more than 250 pounds indians and 12 people in israel and ra caesar. hampering efforts to slow down an environmental disaster unfolding of shlang because coast a massive ship carrying containers and chemicals is no longer on fire. but it is thinking when el fernandez brings us this report now from the area where the vessel ran aground last month. i'm basically around. * a kilometer and

a half away from the rank of the what you can see just over there, we can show you is mangled, wrecked the remnant of that inferno, which basically gave us through the 1004 $180.00 days on both that went around us. again, the number of these are obviously the salvage vessel, the boat, the coast guard to ship the coast guard, as well as the indian counterpart. also just over my other showed up navy for a boat at the ensuring that no one gets too close. we've been warned on that of those containers that well overboard, toppled overboard or centrally mangled, wreckage of container is just on the ocean cable. so it's quite dangerous. they have told us to maintain a safe distance from the wreckage. the in the rec

seems to be holding steady. he doesn't have any where to go quite frankly, have this the bid. and one of these is supposed to have dug into the mountain. but this is what is such a what everyone can say. how do you get on board determine what exactly the situation is whether the structure is we can, you can see obviously in this little while, how unsteady it is, where obviously on the ocean. so even flex, but we have to dive to the base of the west. we have to look at this structure. they have to deal with these challenges. the bottom line is a program coming up next, looking at race relations in america, 100 years after the tulsa masika. ah,

hi, i'm steve clemens and i have some questions. how bad is america's amnesia when it comes to race and can reconcile with its races past without leading to more racism? let's get to the bottom line. ah, in classrooms and tv channels across the united states, the debate on how to teach american history is all the rage. it's the latest chapter in the countries culture wars. this week president joe biden, mark the 100 anniversary of a long forgotten i should say. long covered up massacre. a black americans in tulsa, oklahoma, and a place called black wall street. because the folks there were driving his story and say hundreds were killed and thousands became refugees when they're white neighbors burned their houses in businesses. the whole episode was whitewashed from the american conscience until very recently, many historians teachers,

activists. and now the president say it's about time to teach children about 400 years of white supremacy and modern discrimination against black and brown people and everything from housing to health care and everyday justice. critics call this critical race theory and they tend to be energetic supporters of former president donald trump. they say that this line of questioning weakens the idea that america is the greatest country in the world and leads folks to look at everything through a racial lens and promote a marxist view of history and economics. they definitely don't want to teach stuff like the tulsa race massacre. so in such a divided country, which historical narrative is it today were joined by reverend doctor william j barber. the 2nd president of repairs of the breach and co chair of the poor people's campaign who attended a major commemoration ceremony of tulsa black massacre and was there with 3 survivors of that awful day, as well as precedent. joe biden. rev barbara, it's a real pleasure to be with you. again,

let me just open up. you were into tulsa for a reason. you were there to help prepare the breach among those who wanted to cover up an atrocity in american history. and those who don't want to look at that, tell us about that moment. you know this era ground to stand on is an open crime scene with witnesses yet alive. there's never been a full independent autopsy economic autopsy of public health autopsy. and it was a killing and a massacre and a cover up that the government lay i want to get is not just people out the government sanctioned and allowed it to happen. and then after all of the killing, the community came back, then the government destroyed the game through policy, the urban renewal. and yet, like the bible says in genesis, when came here able, the blood of abel kept crying from the ground. almost though you can kill other

people, but the blood steal cries and the blood is still crying. but not only the remember and mourn, but to have reparations and repair. this forces us to deal with this issue. race is the son of racism, not the other way around. in the races, re systemic racism, the desire to systematically policy and legally discriminate people gets a sudden people came 1st and then the decision to make it based on race king 2nd. so if you don't understand that, you can, can to think that race is just about hatred by systemic. racism is about how economic power, land power, political power. that's what we have to understand in a moment like this. otherwise, we'll just memorialize the death and will turn this great. this mastic a site into a tourism site rather than a place of transformation and reparation. right?

i want to go for a moment to president biden's remarks. president biden is the 1st us president to fully acknowledge the death and harassment that happened that day. 100 years ago, in tulsa, with listened to precedent by millions of white americans belong to the client. and they weren't even embarrassed by we're proud of it. and that hate became embedded systematically and systemically and our laws in our culture. we do ourselves no favors by pretending none of this ever happened or doesn't impact us today because it does still impact us today. we can't just choose to learn what we want to know. and not only should reverend barber, this happened a 100 years ago. my family, my own family, helped settle bartlesville, oklahoma,

just north of tulsa. and i did not know about this incident until i visited the national museum of african american history and culture in washington, d. c. and i was appalled by my own ignorance. how much more is buried out there in america that we, we, people like me who want to know simply don't know about black americans, their, their stresses and their contributions about native americans about black americas, about latino but you know, and some may say it's amnesia but you know, m needs, it tends to happen accidentally like you hit yourself on the he accidentally. this is intentional neglect. this is revision that history. this is refusing to engage in critical race. they are, you know, actually take that language and, and turn it on the folk that want to use the next. we should have critical race that we should be critical of the way in which history has been under told and not told. and you know that we're more than

a dozen that we know of math because of this kind from 18. 63 to 1923. you should also know the significance of bad and go in there because when this riot happened, there was a racist narcissus sitting in the presidents in anguish. wilson bay educated, had been president of princeton government of new jersey, but he played the move in the birth of a nation in the oval office and said it was lightening in a bible and the kind of history that we needed to teach in that movie to celebrate the klan and celebrated the klan massacring communities. it also happened right. doing a pandemic when the president had lab about the pandemic and tried to blame it 100 years ago on spanish people, reveling. call it what it was, the swine flu. so as erie, how you have the similarities, there is so much more. you got wilmington in 1898. you have spring fear. let us not forget that in the early 19,

hundreds or late 800 early 19 hundreds right after the place versus americans decision. and when many black soldiers came back from war one, you have a whole series of massacres. you had massive because you know, the stop the slave revolt. this is america can history. it's not just black history . it's american history, and you had white in 1920 was to help black people. and you had certain white. it's a premise that wanted to do more damage than they did and we cannot cover it. we also, and this is what's important about the president going. he has now say it as the american president. this was a massacre. because he use that language. you now must use the language of reparation. so you can't say it's a massacre. and then just say where we're going to maybe rebuild a road or, or rebuild or some monuments. no, no, no. if it was a massacre, that means you have to deal with the loss that happened in and the potential laws.

what was the potential gain for this community? what would have happened? what happens when children get cut off from education? what happens when you under management? this is oil, lance, did somebody steal the all as well? what would have happened if those banks have franchise go 40? is it franchise? so we're probably talking in the billions of dollars of what it would take to actually do the economic reparation, which is one of the reasons past that we've said the group will leave us a day. we must have an independent autopsy, an independent commission of economists, public health, specials, environmental lawyers and historian. like to put together a real history of what was lost both then and potentially and then we have to talk about what reparations. really look like. let me ask you a question about those that don't understand that moment in tulsa, quite quite as much they're, they're proud of america. they look at america's role in the world. they saw

america's performance in world war 2. they saw, you know, black, white and brown people serving together in the military, but they're unaware of a lot of this anguish and terror in the past. is there a way to, to acknowledge tulsa, to acknowledge what's happened to black americans and brown americans and still find a place to be proud of the united states? how do you reconcile those? because that's what the critics of critical race theory are putting forward. they don't want to put a blight on social studies, which by the way, a lot of americans are not getting any more in schools, but that's what, how they're looking at it. and i look at knowing everything is good, but they're saying now we don't want to have that, that part of the equation in it. what's your robots? reverend barber race is a form of mental illness and mental illness. you don't want to deal with reality. so let's just understand though, that don't want to tell this history. that's a whole another issues. it's not even about just warning that one in america look

could. they don't want the truth to be told because the truth is the truth. now, think about it. we tell the truth about benedict auto. we tell the truth about the most around we did it now. why is it when it comes to the issue of racism, a slave and what happened to him did in his people and people of color. all of a sudden we want people to forget it though, how do you do it? you tell the truth, that's the only thing can set you free as on. think i set this free. but the problem with telling the truth about systemic racism is you have to acknowledge that you have to acknowledge the economic destruction. you have to acknowledge that this country is built on top of 250 years of forest blade, but where we chose to make people chattel. now, can you say the entry is great, but also have great falls? that's what black folk it had to do. all last. my dad was in the navy. he fought

for this country. when the navy was segregated, it was the great he was willing to give 1st class blood for 2nd class citizenship because he had hope for the nation. but he also knew that that hope could not live in the mire. that hope had to tell the truth. and that's why those who want to cover up, they don't want to face the truth, which is the only way for us to be free, the only way to repair the damage. and you know, what's interesting, the young people walk the true, that's why you see all these young white folk watching with black lives matter. that's why the poor people's campaign, a national call for marva. and you see all these young, black and white latino, an age there, todd, there, todd, it was thinking that american exceptionalism means perfection for me as a christian, that's not even god that you can. i'm not perfect. no person is perfect, but america has deep sands from which she has yet to repent. in fact, real quickly,

do you know that there were 5 underpinnings of slavery and racism in this country? first of all, was, was, was, was evil economics. and that is the end justifies the means. it doesn't matter how you get the money, even if you have to slay people. bad biology, you can determine brain size back, skin color sick, sophie ology bit. so we had to be down in order for other people to be political past due where every piece of public policy from the declaration to the constitution always had to have a race consideration in it way of discriminated. and then the last thing was heretical ontology that there were, there were all kinds of attempts made to say, god minute this way, this racism, this slave is of the order of the divine. we have to repent those things because they steal, heard us do that. that's why we have a battle of voting rights. right? ma'am? that's why we couldn't get 15 and a union pad because people are looking at it through the race lee and how will it

impact black people and brown people. and lastly, like dr. king says true, love and true, true has to help people understand that poor white people face a collateral damage because of racism. how, how much better would talk, so have been as a whole, not just black, but tulsa as a whole. black. well, if you had not been destroyed but instead had flourished me, we have to ask all of these questions and be serious about wherever you know you've been at this for a long time. you and i've had these discussions before, but i think there's no running away from the truth that many white americans in the united states look at the fact that if there were reparations, if we began to have big programs like president bite and talked about in tulsa, of spending billions of dollars, i mean already own businesses of fixing neighborhoods that were, you know, left out and because of transportation decisions, you know, helping to get money back into these communities and community development and whatnot. that they look at that at a cost to them. that if one side wins,

the other side loses, it's a 0 sum game between the races. what do you say to that? again, that's wrong economics. first of all, we need a set 3rd. reconstruction of the deal with poverty. and low weight is just not just based on race, just on based on popular ways is because we've got 140000000 pool and lower people in this country. and so what we're doing isn't working because if we was, we wouldn't have over 43 percent of the people living in poverty. and after the pandemic, we've seen 8000000 more people fall into poverty. while 1000000000 made to tree in dollars, we didn't even get even white workers didn't even give a raise. a raise my living waited, we'd not provide universal health care. so as the king said, and i quote that when you keep down one community, you actually under man all the communities. so what we should look at is that these are investments, if you invest in reparation and not just rep raven invest in infrastructure and

invest in living wages and invest in health care. been actually those investments come back. the question we should ask about all of this is the question that nobel peace prize economists as the stickler when he said, what is the cost of the inequality, not what does it cost to fix it. but what is the cost of the inequality itself and the cost of the inequality is greater than fixing it. and that's where we must focus on. we cannot say as a nation, we established justice and we leave these injustices and dealt with. we cannot say we promote the general welfare of all people, but then we say, except if you were massacred and except you are black, the reality is either all of us rise in america or we're going to all be down. so we need not only reparations, but we need a 3rd reconstruction. we need to have health care for all we need to have living ways is we need to have full investment in education. we need to finally decide we're going to deal with the issue a pop,

the low wages that things do not have to be this way. we should use the pass failures as the energy and the her regiment to promote today's transformation. so the 50 years from now, people can say people, roles who decided to move and love and prove, and things became better. listen, all of these things we see even this massacre, they were policy decision, is james ball and say, if we made it this way, we can paraphrase, we can change it, we can fix it. the question is, will we have the social and prophetic and more consciousness to in fact 6 and so i'm glad the president was there, but now that he has called it what it is, the question is, will we have a sufficient policy response to the accurate history that's the question, will we have a sufficient reparations and reconstruction response to this ugly history?

and if there is guess what all oklahoma were right. let me say this last, when we talk about oklahoma and it's amazing how many people say, well, we don't want to rest, right. do you know how most oklahoma and there was something called the homestead and they were given free lane. they land $50000.00 people up at the bought a shot, a gun, and they took off and wherever they came to land, they could take the claim and get, get hundreds of acres of land. that's the other part of the history. we've also got to tell my brother is that everybody who claim they pulled themselves up on bootstrap. they don't even know american history. they're not dealing with reality . the reality is that we have repair. we repaired germany. when we bond, we repaired the, the slave masters after the civil war. the only people we've not repaired at been native americans and african americans. and yet we all hear from this country. if

we all get repaired in the whole nation gets fixed. and if we raise up from the bottom, everybody gets lifted. you mentioned the 3rd reconstruction reverend, and i want to tell our audience that you wrote very powerfully about this in the new york times. recently sharing a what the 1st reconstruction next 2nd reconstruction. you said now is the time for the 3rd reconstruction, but in my view, you were doubtful that we would achieve that. now. what is that? i mean, i know you're setting the bar for what we need to do, but i sense doubt and skepticism that we're at the political moment to make that happen. can you go further? i hope not. well, but what i do have, what i do have is realism and recognize that the 1st 2 reconstruction were murder, then assassinated. they were never completed. so i have no doubt that it will be, i have no doubt this. everybody's gonna agree. i know it's dangerous when you start challenging the ruling class. i'm talking and telling the truth about the ungodly, important graphic sums of money that go to a few and,

and the end the so little that goes to the so many. but he is the, quite his for us is the, is the consideration is either reconstruction or an impoverished democracy. so we got this, i would do, we want a strong democracy or an impoverished democracy. and if we want that, then we have the change. we have to have a reconstruction and this is not about marxism associate and no, you can. all those they want to know is what any of this reconstruction. it's what america need to after the civil war. and it was worked until racism and have destroyed is what america needed in the civil rights movement until he shot it and assassinated and we were to we try, we need a 3rd now. will it be easy to know is going to be hard. yes, because there are so many forces that want to see this not have and they automatically say this is just about black people. but the poor people can write and says of the reconstruction is about all people, all people,

the 140000000 poor and low, where people in this country who are poor because of policy, or support low, well, policy choices and not their own personal morality. revenue in our last minute, i want to ask you a question about something president trump has said, which is, you know, he talk and i talk to some black americans in atlanta who support president, trump brown, americans around the nation to do. he says said, you know, you've got black mayors, you've got black governors, you've got black leaders, you've got folks out there and have they delivered for you? why not take a chance on him and what he's done and you know, in the last election, he actually got quite a number of brown americans of black americans who support him. what is the response, what it, what it is? there's something wrong in the story about that we've had in the past about black rising from the past and, and building bridges with those in assets and what not politically. and what president trump is saying, hey you've, it's the wrong side of the equation over there. join me when he got home,

he didn't get them a job and you know, because people knew he was just talking but he was talking nonsense because the reality is he was saying try me. but then he was saying, i will be against health care. try me and i'm going to be again voting rights, try me. i'm going to be against living wages. try me, and i'm going to give more money to the corporate elite and less to the community. and so he was just running a car. that's what we're doing. and we back people have looked at public policy. plus he was like, sure there are some black leaders that have been disconnected from the community king talk about that. but that doesn't mean that. but i will also, that will say this last 30 seconds, whether you're black or white or whatever, not in this country as a whole, democratic republicans has not fully faced the issue of systemic racism and poverty, and the wages and ecological devastation and health care. and the war economy black

or white and how it impacts all people. that's what we are fighting for. we get, we don't get what part of you in until we address these 5 issues simultaneously. and policy systemic racism systemic poverty, ecological devastation, denial of the year. and a war economy and the false mark, narrative of religious nationalism and why the venza localism? until we have just all 5 of them simultaneously. i don't care who you are. what your color is. we have not built the america there ought be. and the america as possible, if we have the conscious to do it, we don't have a scarcity of money or a scarcity of solution. we've had a scarcity of moral consciousness and we'll well, reverend doctor william j barbara the 2nd president of repairs of the breach and co chair, the poor people's campaign. thank you so much for sharing your candid thoughts with us today. thank you. my friend. bless you. always, so what's the bottom line? if you have 2 americans, one black and one white,

what they think about racism in the usa. here's what will happen. most white americans will tell you that black people don't face a lot of discrimination today. that those days were long ago and there's been progress and that things are really evening out. and if you ask most black and brown americans the same exact question, they'll say exactly the opposite. that black people faced discrimination every single day. all. busy the time starting with applications to work or to college, or random stops by the police to all the opportunities and assets that a lot of white americans start with compared to theirs, which is often little to none. i agree with my guess, reverend barbara to day one election cannot bring about their brutally honest, racial reckoning. the country desperately needs. it's a start though, and it opens the door to getting beyond the collective amnesia on racism. and starting to talk about it honestly and openly, finally, but you know what we need to do right now. we need a moment of zen, here's my guess. thinking with mister hughes van ellis, a survivor of the tulsa race massacre,

100 years ago after president biden speech there on tuesday. the goal really gone, a lot of the 3 weekly critique of the stories hitting the headlines and the news media have been left a sort through mixed messaging on a quite complex story from mainstream street journalism. the listening post covers the wave. the news just cover on a just i was going to have on washing and asia and africa. there'd be days where i'd be choosing and editing myron stories and a refugee camp for to know that tricity. and right now where confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanity has ever faced. and i really believe the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because up the

only way we can try to solve any of these problems is together. well, there are so important we make those connections. ah, me, i'm, i am the laws in london with a quick look at the main stories. now, molly is becoming increasingly isolated following it. second qu, in 9 months. well, bank is now announced that its pausing payments just a day off to fonts declared it was halting military cooperation with molly and forces. ah, even some of the scenes inside the country, early a hundreds of people gathering and supported the military coup in the capital banner cars valley was encouraged by influential.
