digital, you are not to be taken seriously. you are a criminal. you are someone who is supposed to shut up and accept when america gives you the i. democracy is like this ideal place where everybody's voice counts. and it can only be created if we destroyed the systems that at that price america. 2 2 2 2 2 2 people live on that it's allusion. they have power that they give to politicians does not real power, real powers in the people. when you make the politicians do what you want them to do. america is governed by people
1:35 am
who bought by the rich is the money to make changes to people voting black people know. will that go? well, we for, for rachel. then the honorable reverend doctor martin luther king junior, put his life on the line for the right to vote. he was fighting for the power of the vault and power to change laws, the power legislation. this is not where he fought for as well. also have any power . ah, my brother, morning, me like man, how's everything cool? okay, well you have a c. thank you sir. so before we get started,
1:36 am
i gotta know where you've been in what you've been up to. so. so it's all about blank. absolutely. right. as an organisation, i feel like the apex with black smoke. so i'd file for my license to carry and texas, which will carry over to 30 statements. we want to be prepared and ready, and then violence arises. i will tell you that you may be met with resistance and the quickest way to change the laws regarding upholding your 2nd amendment, right, which is the right to be, are, is to have people of color apply for applications to carry a gun in value. you will see a change in state law because somebody will be tracking that. so i just want you to be aware of. right. i was really interested in as we are seeing record levels of black gun ownership. and we can, as that happen is
1:37 am
a shortage of bullets, right? is actually of a public, a hard core of public that was introduced to me by a mutual friend that said, i hope you fight it. so, well i look, i'm not surprised in remo. back history. history is told us that republicans was on the right side of the ledger when it came down to slavery and then went to the other side of the ledger. i know, so i'm not surprised by that. not a gory, but you're going to find a needle in a haystack. you know, was, it was really interesting. so around the 1900 sixty's when doctor king and everything was on fire, right. it was a run for the presidency, right? democrats knew that they needed black boat, so they appear pro civil. right. so the republicans say we're going to have a white southern vote. and that's when everything shifted, right. i really feel like the black folks don't have anyone fighting for them in politics.
1:38 am
i. oh, when martin luther king junior was murdered, it was an uproar across the world. right. it were riots. all of these. i own people really care. just like when george holmes with jose, jose close, just regular. do you know freedom fighter use no angel that god sent down to give us the right to vote. just regular to put to way the sheet. she was killed. it jolted everybody into action. ah
1:39 am
ah, with we look back at the protest bird by the black life matter movement and we see this is a turning point in american democracy and in democracy more generally with was in the death of george floyd alone whose back bark the math approach has been that we saw in united states in 2020, it was bad death on top of a long term process of disenfranchisement and disillusionment on the part of the african american and other citizens that really cause that with what i think a lot of people felt was we're not gonna take it any more a, just
1:40 am
a collective ceiling of enough is enough. ah, the racial wounds and divisions that still have not healed in the united states still have not been transcended in the united states. and it didn't. and with the civil rights legislation of the sixties and it didn't end with the election of an african american president. ah, i think that in order to get rid of the racial device in this country is going to take a lot of hard work and it's going to be complicated. i don't think that it's going to be a simple process. it's not easy to change in the longer you've been doing something even harder than it is to change. and this has been the status quo for the western world. since slavery began, now we have defined what it means to be
1:41 am
a human being. we have defined what it means to be a citizen based on race. i think that people have trouble believing in democracy because we don't have a good example. ah, it's hard to believe in what you can't see. it's even harder to conceptualize something new. and so people are just looking for answers. i mean, that is really the, that's really the conversations that are happening around the one i don't think that i'm addressing the race problem will solve, will allow us to achieve democracy. but i think that it is unnecessary for i think that racism is a huge issue and extremely into influential. i think that's where i always start. i am not coming to you asking you to stop being racist as a person who is devoid of prejudice. but you have to learn how to question, why, why do i think that something different from the what,
1:42 am
what i've seen is wrong when we talk about the majority of america, not believing in democracy. how would most of them define it? how it, most of them define our own democracy. why don't we care about other people enough to allow them the same opportunities we would want for ourselves, ah, well, with living in the waters with us in line. so i think we can see the consequences of very deep social divisions and cleavages in the united states, where we now have one party, a republican party that has become in many ways, extremely homogenous. it is overwhelmingly white. it is overwhelmingly notches christian, but composed of people who are quite religious, greece, iris in the my god gave me a dream about prison, turned in the white house and he said, i want you to start paying for this man. the democratic party in this country is
1:43 am
composed of people from a broader array of backgrounds except for those types of folks who are represented in the republican party. and so people have really retreated into seeing themselves as parts of groups that are really quite distinct that don't have a lot of overlap or interaction with other groups. and therefore, the sense that we are americans in addition to all of these other i tend to be, i believe. and i did my team of people that came to shut down. i saw a bar betsy, but infiltrated. they had plans to dress up and look like some supporters. they are never seen the united states so divided in the political agendas that people have. oh and it's a very serious problem to many of us. we'd like to focus on why are
1:44 am
people violating our laws and in particular, the constitution street, ah, this division in our society has been boiling for a long time. it's not that trump. oliver's son brought this division on. it's the fact that they now have a strong, strong republican who has been able to move things that they want to just blame him for everything that has gone wrong. ah, all the people have, my personal opinion is when you're part of any country, you need to understand there are responsibility. it's not all about rights to belong. we have elections that are supposed to be run a certain with
1:45 am
one of the major problems with the current situation is that the people in power worked to make sure that more ballots were put in volks, for that particular candidate than the other camp. and so would that be considered fraud? yes. you hear many stories. i cannot justify whether the stories are true or false. you look at death records and people who have been dead for years or roading. how can nappy, ah, a ah,
1:46 am
the there is, i think, a real division that is reflected in values, you know, attitudes towards religion towards you know, certain social practices that i think is, you know, actually shaping a lot of contemporary politics. what is the problem? why does identity pose such such an enduring and serious challenge for democracy? bank work? rock rust? i wrote this famous article back in the 19 sixty's which said that one of the basic requirements of a democracy is you have to believe you're living in the same country. well actually what was interesting about that article is he said it's the only precondition is that common sense of national identity. everything else you can develop along the way. the trouble for democratic politics comes when your identity becomes
1:47 am
essential eyes, meaning it's the most important thing about you so difficult to actually govern them because they have no sense of national identity. so this is clearly the single most emotive dividing line in american politics. now i have no doubt of those. do you have any thoughts about how this can be bridge? i think there is a kind of unfortunate tendency that you know, a lot of people want everybody to think the way they do. and their strategies are all about how do we actually imagine eyes, everybody in terms of thought. but i just think that, you know, the challenge of living in a diverse society is precisely, you know, figuring out how to get along with people that don't agree with you. ah, i think we did not fully understand how very fragile our democracy was and how very divided our society was
1:48 am
ah, our democracy is extremely fragile. and that if we are not constantly cultivating and protecting its foundations, they kind of road with really surprising rapidity. and that the divisions in our society, if we do not figure out ways to overcome them, then the door will be open for another illiberal autocratic figure like trump to walk through and begin this process of attacking american democracy and american community. again, we call it. oh no, oh no, no,
1:49 am
i don't what our community to make sure to go freight all kind of be a black lives matter of you. this is organizing. this is the community. it's a lot more and more down the street. it's taken care of, but organize and you want to put help put in the bag. you got it. the fact that we need strong back to me. i have a dream that is economic separation, but nobody can care about what black people are talking about
1:50 am
until we remove the money from nister's and use that money to build up schools in our community. we can build our communities where we don't have to rely on white people coming back, ma'am, if you could kind of get a bag so you'll have to rely on the money when your business just imagine your black bank the stop shopping all their stores. you started shopping in our stores, you know how fast we will get right. oh, i have to stand hand in hand, why people sing songs and be happy. i just have to live a life without the obstruction of oppression.
1:51 am
so when we say black lives matter, essentially is saying that your life doesn't matter. our life does man and they get upset if you say all lives matter because they want to focus on black, the black lives matter, created more havoc and more the more violence than piece they were not a peaceful organization. as a brown person myself, i'm ashamed of them. they don't stand for what we stand for. ah, identity is difficult for democracy. so you see yourself primarily as a member of a particular ethnic group or a particular religious group or identify most with sexual minority on. and these are things that obviously are not problematic in themselves. they only become
1:52 am
problematic when they're seen as being in competition with or antithetical to broader national identities. there are some very real problems in our society, some very deep social divisions that if we do not recognize and deal with our democracies in our societies are going to continue to decay. oh ah oh, we never see a gunshot here against another american from a american to american. i hope it never happens. i see both sides are
1:53 am
getting more passionate, more intense. and we're not looking at us as american citizens. we're looking at, that's the right. that's the left, and that's it. and there's a big river or big mountain in between us and we can come together. i think that it's possible the next 10 years, it, something could happen in terms of a civil war. looks like a volcano. volcano just doesn't erupt, all of a sudden it builds pressure. and then eventually to ropes, we're building that pressure because we are not going according to the fundamental principles of the constitution. ah, a
1:54 am
1:55 am
us to death. it puts bullets to our body, a nation. we went out there tearing things apart. why? america handles these problems violently, law with threat of violence. so why wouldn't, why wouldn't we do that? mm. with ac. what do we do about? are we going to have an i'll say the word a civil war? are we going to fight among ourselves? ah
1:56 am
ah the world is in a more and more perilous state. for my biggest fear is about democracy in the west. if we don't defend and renew and reform invigorate democracy in our democracies, we're not going to be an example that is inspiring to other countries in the world . but i remain an optimist. i think there is a new generation emerging that is seeking a multi racial society in which everybody can live in dignity.
1:57 am
ah, i don't think that will ever be able to completely eradicate inequality or human suffering. i guess what democracy looks like in practical terms is an intention and is a consistent effort to achieving that idea. i do this for the voicemail. i don't have a lot of toys. mm hm. i don't think that that's something by whatever not exist, but i think that being willing to do the work whole to your whole, minimize it to help people to care about people doing that is what matters ah, but if we stop trying, then we have no business calling ourselves with
1:58 am
a whole, i do declare the court. oh the. there are many paradoxes surrounding democracy. and one paradox is the divergent tendencies in human nature. we all want to be respected. we all want to be treated with dignity. we don't like to have some power and control over our own lives. but at the same time, there is this darker side of human nature, the greed for power. the greed for wealth insecurity, the drive to monopoly, the drive to tyranny. and the vanity that comes through tyrants who
1:59 am
want to dominate over their citizens and control all sources of information, wealth and power. so this is the stuff of human history. this is the struggle of politics. me the ah, with a community decimated by cancer fights for the truth. who in this room has cancer or knows the family that lives here that have cancer? phone lines exposes houston's candidate cluster. these are the 110 properties that
2:00 am
have grown contamination underneath. they look data visible, pope a community, it just say forget fill them down. so we're sitting in time. full lines on out is near. ah . rising tensions at the belarus, poland border as migrants desperate to get into the european union? crash with polish forces. ah. hello, i'm have them. think of this is al jazeera, alive from the also coming up. twin suicide bloss. go off in uganda as capital police blame allied democratic forces,
