millions march, not just because of what happened really with mike brown or eric garner. it is what's happened for many, many years before these men died. talk to us about the history behind this unrest. >>. >> it's so much more complicated than this. the broad picture centers on the treatment of racial minorities in america. many thought these issues, didn't we settle these with the supreme court issues of the civil rights act. no, no. data on school drop outs, incarceration, employment, lots of other factors that plainly show that different groups are not in sync on the equality issue or the same way. that's the backdrop to the most recent case in ferguson, missouri and new york city. those who feel discrimination, these cases are not exceptions. they are the latest example of rule. the rule that's not very kind to them. >> larry, we live in the bay area and we like to think this is really diverse and welcoming community. it is, but here and in other

parts of the country the question about equality and whether we have achieved it is still very much an issue at debate. the data that you brought this morning really shows that. >> yeah. in many cases blacks and whites in america see this same issue through very different eyes and experiences. we can have this national survey conducted by los angeles times last year that highlighted the differences and the perception of police behavior toward african-americans. check out how each group views the same question. are blacks treated less fairly by whites. you get 37% of whites saying that but 70% of the blacks saying that. it's simple terms the two groups see the same issue in very different ways. that's what really gets us to this. there are other questions as well. we know that blacks feel they are treated less fairly. here is another way of looking at it. the question is asked, what do we do here in terms of the

disparity. both groups were asked about progress in racial equality. do we need to make a lot more progress. whites, 44% said yes. blacks, 79% said yes. wow. one group is looking at much more of a need to do something. that's a huge difference in perception in what needs to be done. education, the courts, employment and voting. >> that's a national view. let's talk about what's happening in california and how people feel in this state where the majority of the population is non-white. >> california is diversified. majority in this state are non-white. the question is do minorities believe that diversity has yielded equality of opportunity?

here is what a 2010 field poll found on the issue of racial prejudice. have you experienced problems. whites 16%. latinos, 35%. blacks, 49%. clearly minorities have a different set of experiences on race related matters. the same poll asked about their concern for race relations. are you concerned about race relations. whites, 48%. latinos, 52%. blacks, 79%. >> final thought os on the numbers. a long way to go when looking at these polls and asking people on the street how they really feel. >> we're not there yet. we're not there yet. no matter how you want to color this thing.

what seems to be a serious problem for minority, not experienced the same degree as whites. until everyone sees the same issue through the same lens it will be lard to imagine that race relations will improve. that's why they are working toward it these days in these marches in washington, new york and other parts of the country. >> thanks for bringing it here this morning. much more ahead to come on today in the bay. it's more than just a pub crawl. hundreds of santas visiting local bars. more on the good work and the charity that they are doing. here on this sunday morning we're looking at a beautiful sunrise from our san francisco sky cam. no fog but lots of cloud cover. we'll talk about the timeline as our next storm system takes shape across the pacific after this break.

welcome back. i want to get you up to speed on

this sunday. you can see not as much fog as we were looking at. visibility down to less than a mile in this area. you're looking at cloudy conditions this morning. i want to take you to our radar because we are starting to see the first return out across the open waters. you can see some cells starting to develop ahead of our next storm system. you'll net nothing else on the map. this activity will be spotty. at the coastline and points north of the golden gate bridge is where we will see the first showers this afternoon. south of san francisco everybody else will stay dry. it will be a steady stream of clouds. san francisco you're seaing some sunshine snou. beautiful sunrise over the transamerica pyramid.

you can see this is 1:00 this afternoon. no widespread rain for the bay area. all that will be off the coast. look what happens by 3:00, 4:00. the first showers push into santa rosa. it will work toward the golden gate bridge as we head toward 5:00, 6:00. places in the south bay, east bay and tri-valley. tomorrow morning will be a wet commute for most of us. it's not going to be rainy. we're not just talking about the rain but the winds. gusty winds will develop ahead

of system. it's not going to be as strong as the last system that produced hurricane winds. most everybody else will see winds. kind of correlates with the higher colors. even if the coastline half-moon bay, highway one really all the way down the coast will be very gusty with winds up to 50 miles an hour gusts there. i think sustained winds will be anywhere between 30 and 40. wednesday a few lingering showers as we start to dry out for wednesday afternoon before our next storm system starts to move in as head towards friday. overall, rainfall amounts look really good. this is the time of year when we start to talk ant rainfall adding up across some of the bay area reservoirs. the thing about it, we haven't had chance to dry out. even though the ground is still very water logged and very wet.

any bit of rain, any bit of wind that comes through the really be detrimental especially considering we were watching the reports this past week, the huge oak tree that came crashing down onto that house. winds in that area were only up to 40 miles an hour. that was a ginormous tree. the root system is so weak with all the trees across the bay area because we haven't seen rain in three years. the thing about it even though it doesn't seem like a huge storm system, it's the aftermath is what we're worried about. >> good time to get can your trees evaluated. we have covered so many of those trees going into homes. always happens in the middle of the night. >> you don't think it can happen to you. >> good morning. rain and snow this weekend. although it was the real thing, the fresh snow was trucked in from the north star resort in lake tahoe. the bay area discovery museum. it's part of the museum's snow day. that's where snow is used in

everybody wants to be santa. they are dressing up. >> thanks for may recolleking u your morning. see you back here at 11:00.

this sunday, the senate's torture report. >> we have failed to live by the very precepts that make our nation at great one. >> the e report concludes that e cia failed to truthfully report to the president and the congress and the house. >> there is no truth to these rereports. >> and that the cia did what needed to with be
