if you are black or visible or not, to be taken seriously, you are a criminal. you are someone who is supposed to shut up except what america gives you. ah, the mother she would have to be right. it's like this ideal place where everybody's voice counts and it can only be created if we destroyed the systems that america. 2 2 2 2 2 people live on the dissolution. they have power that they give to politicians. does real power. real power is in people. when you make the politicians do what you want them to do. america is governed

by the people who bought by the rich is the money to make changes to people voting blakely. little now will that ho we flow for the right of all 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 vote. a power to change laws, the power of legislation. this is not what he fought for as well. both don't have any power. ah, my brother morning like, man has everything. okay, well you have

a thing. thank you sir. so before we get started, i gotta know where you've been and what you've been up to. so we just so it's all about black. 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 on is to have people of color apply for applications to carry on guns 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 a shortage of bullets right now is actually 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 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 the 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. ah. oh, when martin luther king junior was murdered, it was an uproar crossed. we're right. it will riots. all of these. i own people really care. just like when george forms, with george george close just a regular do use no freedom fighter use no angel that god sent down to give us the right to vote just regular to but to way the she she was killed. it jolted everybody into action. ah

. so we look back at the protest bird by the black lives matter movement and we see this is attorney point in american democracy and in democracy more general with was in the death of george lloyd alone, whose back spark the mass 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

a collective ceiling of enough is enough. 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 devices 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 that 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

a human being. we have to find 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. 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 and i think 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,

what i've seen is wrong when we talk about the majority of america, not believing in democracy how it 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 you would want for ourselves? ah, well, with living in the waters with us in 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 my god, gave me a dream about prison term in the white house. me said,

i want you to stop paying for this man. the democratic party in this country is 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 identity, i believe. and i did my team of people that came to set a fancy 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 people

violating our laws? and in particular, the constitution states, 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 way. ah.

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 a box for that particular candidate than the other can. 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

ah, 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

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 a modernize 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

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, a tooth,

a visit there. oh no, no. you know what our community to make sure to read 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 us. but organize and you want to put help, put it in a bag, you got it back really strong. back to me. i have a dream that is economic separation, but nobody will care about what black people are talking about

until we remove the money from their systems. and use that money to build up schools and i mean, we can build our own communities where we don't have to rely on white people coming back a little, 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 banks to submit 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 white people and sing songs and be happy. i just have to live a life without the obstruction of oppression. 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 peace. 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. 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 a sexual minority. i'm and these are things that obviously are not problematic in

themselves. they only become 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 and 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 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't come together. i think that it's possible the next 10 years or 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,

you go, bob. i hear you say, well, he read me, noodle, [000:00:00;00] uhm . ah, ah, ah, the law is white. it benefits white people in a decimate, but

a hold locks us in cages. a jokes us to death. it puts bullets through our body, a nation. we went out there tearing things apart. why? america handles is problems violently with threat of violence. why wouldn't? why wouldn't with with tell me, 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, the world is in a more and more perilous state. in my biggest fears 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. 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 doom. i don't think that that's something bad. 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 who is that is what matters. ah, but if we stop trying,

then we have no business calling ourselves with the quote unquote. oh i 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 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 ah, the story of a small community. in one of mexico's most dangerous states standing up to criminal cartels and corrupt politicians, he, you, we don't want to politicians any more. they just dis, united the people in the last episode of democracy. maybe we explore how sharon's

eldest lead the fight, the self determination residing at that time. thinking that the knock us was the same as thinking of to and government high. the people on al jazeera ah. ready ha, security forces in sir dawn, use live bullets and t a gas of mass protests. at least 15 people have been killed . ah, hello, welcome on pete. adobe. you're watching l to 0. live from do are also coming up. a
