children's names, but i'll never forget canada's dark secret on al jazeera. there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places the state are really invest in that and that's the privilege. as a journalist, let me hello, i'm down, jordan and joe with a quick reminder at the top stories here now jesse reporter has been released from custody after being arrested by israeli security forces. this is when javan jerry emerged from these ready police station and occupied east jerusalem. she'd been arrested in check. gerard accused of harassing security forces. not presenting her credentials claims, but jerry and al jazeera strongly deny. well this was the moment, but jerry was beaten and arrested

the the the the, the, the bill, how may i spoke to you've arbitrary just off to her release? she says she's been bad from reporting and sharon for 15 days and explained what happened after she was taken by the police. they said before that they don't know me. in the car, they began to speak to the leader. we have. we just bought a rudy though to the post office just so they know me they you know only the

sure that's i my journalist inside i was treated like a criminal and one of the soldiers came and he told me they lie all the time. everything is wrong. i said no, it doesn't lie, they just gives it people everything. just just as it, as it did. then the after 7 hours, i don't know how much time because they took from me everything. they. if you take the cups from me, they said either at us or 15 days away from us. so i know they said that at the beginning they said that i checked it soldier when they saw all the june and everything was changed that maybe she tried defense. her says in 2 minutes everything was changed because of the video.

everything. yes, yes. and then they said, okay, you will be away from for 15 days. but no, i think as we will say, we will go to the call because it's because it was a message for all every, all the juniors. we kicked it out. we put, we put no, i just didn't know what happened. so everybody will be afraid and nobody will cover . no, we will cover everything, goes all the julia. so have you been charged, or is it just now released with this condition of not covering shifter, iraq 15 days just for 15 days, and maybe later there would be a cost maybe. and for you all that clear message to all journalists, right? yes. it was clear that they out of freight from from it, from all the june of every, with everybody. everyone was working on the blog, the outfit from him. armed fighters in bettina, faster have killed at least

a 138 civilians. if the worst attack in the country in years, it happened in the village of sullivan, which is close to where the government is fighting groups linked to al qaeda and iceland, the region. a 1000000 people have been displaced by violence in the past year. the g 7 group of advanced economies has reached a landmark deal, making it harder for the world biggest companies to avoid paying taxes. members have agreed to set a minimum 15 percent global corporate tax threshold in countries where they generate their business. instead of siphoning profits of shore. and to tax haven the 7 men competing to become around next president have been taking partner 1st televised debates. the candidates were approved by the guardian council event focused on the economy, which has been battered by us sanctions. so those are the headlines and continued 0 now to 0 after the bottom line. federal impact, so much bye for oh

i i am steve clinton and i have some questions. how bad is america's amnesia when it comes to race and couldn't reconcile with its races passed 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, in a place called black wall street, because the folks there were thriving. historians say hundreds were killed and thousands became refugees when their 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 that 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 president 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. where you know you're a ground to stand on 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 a massacre and a color that the government led to get is not just people out of the government sanctioned in and allowed it to happen. and then after all of the killing, the community came back, then the government destroyed again through the policies of urban renewal. and yet, like the bible says in genesis, when came here able, the blood of abel kept crying from the ground almost so you can see other people,

but the blood steal cries and the blood is still crying. but not only to remember and mourn, but to have reparations and repair is forces us to deal with this issue. race is the son of racism, not the other way around in a race whose race systemic racism, the desire to systemically policy and legally discriminate people gets a sudden people came 1st and then the decision to make it based on race came 2nd. so if you don't understand that, you can, can to think that race is just about hatred. but systemic racism is about power, 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. it will turn this great, this maslick 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 president biden news of white americans belong to the client. and they weren't even embarrassed by through 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 we 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, you know, and somebody says, amnesia. but, you know, am needs, it tends to happen accidentally like you hit yourself on the he accident. it is intentional neglect. this is revision of history. this is refusing to engage in critical race there. you know, that take that language and, and, and it on the folk that want to use the mega, 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 massive because of this kind from an 1863 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 a row. wilson very educated, had been president of princeton governor of new jersey, but he played the movie, birth of a nation in the old office and said it was lightening and a bible and the kind of history that we needed to teach in that movie to celebrate the klan, and celebrated the klan, massa green communities. it also happened right. doing a pandemic when the president had lab about the pandemic and tried to blame it a 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 1900 right

after the place of verses burgundy decision. and when many black soldiers came back from war one, you have a whole series of massacres. you had massive because you know that the stop the slave revolt. this is america can history. it's not as black history. it's american history. and you had white in 1921 to help black people. and you had certain white 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 mine was 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 being 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 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 basset that we sent a group will leave us a day. we must have an independent autopsy, an independent commission of economists, public health, suspicious environmental lawyers, and historians like to put together a real history of what was lost both then and potentially. and then we have to talk about what regulations really look like. let me ask you a question about those. they 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, 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,

not want to america to 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 been a de auto. we tell the truth about the most wrong we didn't be at 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 the death. 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 answer is great, but also have great falls. that's what black folk it had to do. all i last, my dad was in the navy. he fought for this country. when the navy was segregated,

it was not 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 denial. that hope had to tell the truth. and that's why those who want to cover up, they don't want to face the true, 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 want to true. that's why you see all these young white for watching with black lives matter. that's why the poor people's campaign, a national call for mom, and you see all these young, black and white latino, an age there, todd, there, todd, it was thinking that american exceptionalism, it means perfection for me as a christian, that's not even god. and 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 of his 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 brains size by skin color sick. so to do that, so we had to be down in order for other people to be political pathology 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 man. that's why we couldn't get 15 and a union pad because people looking at it through the racially and how will impact

black people and brown people. and lastly, like doctor 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 man as a whole, not get back to us. but to us as a whole, if you're 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 biden 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 $1.00 side wins,

the other side, loses the 0 sum game between the races. what do you say to that? again, that's wrong. economics is, 1st of all, we need a set 3rd, reconstruction of the deal with poverty and low weight is just not just based on race. just don't based on popular ways is because we got 140000000 point, 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 may to tree in dollars. we didn't even give even white workers, didn't even give a raise, a raise, mel living wages. we've not provided universal health care. so as the king said, and i quote that when you keep down in 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 they're not just, we're breeding them best and infrastructure and invest in living wages and invest

in health care. then 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 wages. we need to have full investment in education. we need to finally decide we're going to deal with the issue of poverty and 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. let's. 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 that 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 do rest, right. do you know how most oklahoma and there was something called the homestead and they will give them free lane. they land 50000 people up at the bought a shot, a gun, and they took off and wherever they came to land, they could speak 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 by their own 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 are all here in this country. if

we all get repair, then 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. but what i do have, what i do have is realism and recognize that the 1st 2 reconstructions were murder, then assassinated. they were never completed. so i have no doubt that it will be, i have no doubt this. everybody's going to agree. i know it's dangerous when you stop 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 will 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 associated. no, you can. all those they want to know is what it is this a reconstruction. it's what america need to after the civil war. and it was worked until racism and hate destroyed is what america needed in the civil rights movement to have 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 the 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 char, support low with 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 from 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 a 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 your 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, well, he got home,

he didn't get the majority, 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'm will be against health care. try me and i'm going to be against voting, right. 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 he's 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 32nd. 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 wages and ecological devastation and health care and the war economy blackwall

way and how it impacts all people. that's what we are fighting for, we get, we don't get what party you in until we address these bad issue simultaneously. and policy systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation, denial of health care, and the war economy and the false mar, narrative of religious nationalism and why the evangelicalism, until we are 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 and the breach and co chair of 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 went to 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 the 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, and then 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. and go, go ready? gone a lot of the 3 when much day arrived, the green army comes to life. but football is not all they shout about a club where societies disenfranchised, have the loudest voice, and political dissent fixed center stage. they form a rocco's resistance. the alternative roger, casablanca defends, who make football. on l. g. b, i

the al jazeera as a use all the news. hello, i'm down jordan doe with a quick reminder, the top stories here out here at correspondent giovanni baterri has been released after being arrested by israeli security forces. she been detained and shit, gerad accused of harassing security forces on funding to present our credentials claims, but area and to 0 strong to deny what our bill, how may i spoke to baterri just after her release when they saw all the june and see if everything was changed that maybe she tried.
