that memorial for george floyd in minneapolis when it gets under way. our cbs news special report begins around 2:00 p.m. eastern time, 1:00 central. moving now to new questions this morning over law enforcement's response to the protests. protests which themselves were against police brutality. demonstrations were almost exclusively peaceful yesterday at events held all across the country including in brooklyn, new york. but when that march in brooklyn went past an 8:00 p.m. curfew, officers charged the crowd using batons and chasing people down who were trying to avoid arrest. our national correspondent jericka duncan is outside brooklyn's barclays center which has been a rallying point for these demonstrations and where that protest started. jericka, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this was the seventh straight day that we've had so far of mostly peaceful protests here in new york city. and thousands more are expected to gather in a nearby park later today and cross the brooklyn bridge in honor of floyd's

death. >> the other three officers are being charged. >> reporter: hundreds of protesters in new york city erupted in cheers after hearing the three other former officers involved in george floyd's death will now face charges. what did you make of that? >> i think it's the right decision, obviously, but i still don't think it's enough. it's a bigger problem than just george floyd. this isn't the first and it won't be the last. >> the issue will be whether they can take it through the court system and have convictions. >> hands up, don't shoot. >> reporter: new york protesters continued peaceful demonstrations wednesday. but after an 8:00 p.m. curfew went into effect, nypd officers cracked down on demonstrators in brooklyn. witnesses say there were no calls for the crowd to disperse. and in a chaotic scene, police used batons to physically move a large crowd of protesters. >> they're pushing us!

>> reporter: some fell to the ground and others were restrained. >> the protesters were actually moving as they requested and they were still pushing them and hitting them. i saw a cop actually diving at protesters. one person got hurt. >> we're just walking. >> reporter: police also seen chasing some of the protesters as they left the area. it was in sharp contrast to seattle where the mayor canceled the nightly curfew because of the size and peaceful nature of the crowd. and in detroit, the demonstrations were also allowed to run long. police chief james craig. >> as everybody can see, there's no problems. they want their voices heard, and we support that. >> reporter: today governor in virginia, ralph northam is expected to announce the removal of the statue of robert e. lee, the confessderate general.

people have been putting signs on there to stop white supremacy. he obviously supported the confederacy. and anthony, weeks before the civil war, it was the vice president of the confederacy, alexander stevens that gave a speech. and in it he said with us, all of the white race. however, high or low, rich or poor are equal in the eyes of the law. not so for the negro. >> jericka, as we know, there are many confederate general statues down the main promenade there in richmond. may have been a point of dispute for quite awhile. a new cbs poll released this morning finds most americans say race relations in the u.s. are generally bad. only 17% say race relations are getting better. more than 8 in 10 say relations are getting worse or staying the same. an increasing number of americans feel there is racial

discrimination by police. a majority thinks police are more likely to use deadly force against a black person than a white person. overall, 67% of americans think the direction of the country is on the wrong track. >> anthony, those are big change in numbers from just four years ago. former defense secretary jim mattis who said he would never criticize a sitting president, is blasting president trump's call for the military to dominate the protesters. the retired marine general accused the president of trying to divide the country. mr. trump fired back on twitter calling mattis the world's most overrated general. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on this story. this seems to be a big surprise from mr. mattis. good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle and good morning to everybody. general mattis left the administration in 2018 over a policy disagreement. so it's not surprising that he and president trump have differing views. but it is extraordinary how much

of them he publicly shared. mattis condemned the action against protesters near the white house and said it sets up a false conflict between the military and civilians. the current defense secretary is speaking out as well. >> i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. >> reporter: less than 48 hours after president trump issued that warning this week to cities and states, defense secretary mark esper directly contradicted him wednesday. >> the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort. and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. we are not in one of those situations now. >> reporter: administration officials say the president may invoke the insurrection act which could allow him to deploy troops to areas that have not requested assistance because he believes they need help controlling protests. >> i do not support invoking the

insurrection act. >> reporter: kayleigh mcenany says the president still has confidence in esper. >> if he loses confidence in secretary esper, i'm sure you'll all be the first to know. >> as of right now he still does? >> as of right now, secretary esper is still secretary esper. >> reporter: shortly after general james mattis released a blistering rebuke of the president writing, donald trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the american people. does not even pretend to try. instead, he tries to divide us. less than a year ago, mattis said this on "cbs sunday morning." >> i will not speak ill of a sitting president. i'm not going to do it. >> reporter: as peaceful protesters packed the nation's capital for a sixth day, national guard troops and other police formed a line to keep demonstrators farther back from the white house. >> right now, i think the nation needs law and order. we need healing and all of those

things but we need safety in our cities. >> reporter: secretary esper had decided to send about 200 troops around washington back to their home bases but reversed that decision late yesterday. a defense official tells cbs news it was because there are still a lot of people in the streets and still a chance for things to turn violence. tony? >> weijia, thank you very much. all four of our living ex-presidents say the killing of george floyd shows how america has failed to overcome its racial divide. as ed o'keefe reports, former president barack obama brought up the issue for the first time on camera just yesterday. >> we have seen in the last several weeks, the last few months the kinds of epic changes and events in our country that are as profound as anything i've seen in my lifetime. >> reporter: speaking as port of a forum sponsored by his

foundation, barack obama called for police reform. >> chokeholds, strangleholds, just saying that's not what we do. you don't need that in order to effectively restrain someone. >> reporter: mr. obama's comments come as his predecessors are condemning recent events in remarkably candid terms. former president george w. bush said he's anguished by the brutal suffocation of george floyd and that it's time for america to examine our tragic failures. former president bill clinton said that no one deserves to die the way george floyd did. and the truth is, if you are white in america, the chances are you won't. and former president jimmy carter acknowledged his own upbringing in the segregated south adding, we need a government as good as its people. and we are better than this. >> the status quo always resists without some pressure. >> reporter: he spoke directly to young men and women of color who have witnessed too much violence and death. >> too often, some of that violence has come from folks who

were supposed to be serving and protecting you. i want you to know that you matter. i want you to know that your lives matter. that your dreams matter. >> reporter: mr. obama also praised police officers march with the protesters and showing restraint and acknowledged there are many police chiefs out there also pushing for policing policy. new policing policy. look, historically, former presidents try to stay out of the spotlight after they leave the white house, but mr. obama has shown by endorsing biden and speaking out about president trump's leadership during the coronavirus and now this forum on police policy, that he's going to be a completely different and much more vocal former president. gayle? >> it appears so, ed. interesting to see the other presidents speak up, but president obama said yesterday, sometimes you have to make people in power feel uncomfortable and speak up. it was extraordinary to hear what he had to say yesterday. thank you very much, ed.

anthony? >> yeah, strong statements from all four former presidents. thanks, gayle. crews are working to restore power across parts of pennsylvania this morning after a rare derecho or fierce wind storm killed three people. all three died in separate tree falling incidents yesterday. one person was killed when a tree fell on a country club. winds gusted up to 80 miles an hour. high winds ripped off the roof of an apartment complex and dropped it on a car. no one there was hurt. >> derecho is a new word for me but we're glad no one was hurt. dramatic pictures out of pennsylvania. ahead, racial controversy in minneapolis' police department and why the head of its labor

to refer to the protests as a terrorist movement and said that officers had been illegally terminated. in response, a former minneapolis police chief called kroll, quote, a disgrace to the badge. jamie yuccas to her about the department's issues. what did you find? >> reporter: we found that the minneapolis police department's own statistics revealed black people are more likely to have excessive force used against them than white people. that's one thing former city leaders say they want to see change. do you think there is an issue of systemic racism within the police department? >> i think there's an issue of systemic racism in every police department. >> reporter: janee harteau is the former head of the city's police. according to data analyzed by t"the new york timesthe minneap

arrest more black people than white. >> the only ones looking for justice is us black people. >> reporter: before george floyd's death prompted outcry, prosecutors drew criticism for failing to file charges against two police officers in 2018 for another shooting. police said they believed thurmond blevins who fled with a loaded handgun posed an immediate threat to officer safety.

charged in george floyd's killing were fired without due process. >> do you think it's fair to poin point the finger strictly at lieutenant bob kroll? >> no, but i do think it begins with bob kroll. he's the loudest voice. >> all of our actions, they have an impact. >> reporter: in 2017, minneapolis' first black police chief took over. earlier he and other four officers filed a discrimination lawsuit against the department claiming it systematically discriminated in favor of white persons and subjected black officers to a hostile work environment. it also accused kroll of making racist statements and wearing a motorcycle jacket with a white power badge. the city settled the lawsuit for $740,000 without admitting liability. >> the minneapolis police department will prohibit fear-based trainings.

bigger way perhaps than ever before. but i think we also need cultural change in society. >> reporter: we should mention that lieutenant kroll is married to an anchor at our minneapolis station, wcco-tv. they say she has not reported on the department or union issues for at least 2.5 years. anthony? >> all right. thank you. and we did reach out to kroll for comment but have not heard back. coming up, we'll hear from ahmaud arbery's family -- mother, rather, ahead of a key hearing today for the suspects in her son's death and a reminder -- you can always get the morning news by subscribing to "cbs this morning's" podcast. hear today's top stories in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back. effortless is the lincoln way. so as you head back out on the road, we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm amidst the chaos.

it swept at least eight houses into the sea in the northern part of the country yesterday afternoon. one man said he ran for his life when he figured out what was going on. a rescue operation was called off hours later after everyone was accounted for. amazingly, no deaths, no injuries reported. >> that is incredible. we use words like stunning and amazing a little too frequently when we look at video. when you see video like that, you realize, okay, now the terms really apply. that's a whole chunk of land just disappearing into the sea. i'm amazed no one was hurt. i'm amazed no one was injured. given that the world seems to be ending all around us, it's weirdly comforting to see the natural world keep on moving on and doing its thing. i can imagine if that's your house floating away, you're not too comforted. amazing video. thanks. what is next? all right. "star wars" actor john boyega is joining the call for racial

equality after george floyd's death. boyega who plays fin, also known as fn2187 to fellow "star wars" nerds, was amoung the protesters in hyde park march in solidarity with those in the united states. he made an emotional speech to demonstrators. >> to be reminded every day that your race means something! and that is never the case anymore. we're going to try today -- we are a physical representation of our support for george floyd. [ cheers ] >> the studio behind "star wars" says it stands with boyega, calling him "our hero." many in hollywood are standing in solidarity including luke skywalker who tweeted, this "never before have i been more proud of you, john. love, dad." what i love about this -- what makes me sad is this is representative of the world we live in.

the concern that john boyega has speaking out on racism could potentially end his career. let that sink in. >> yeah. but then he said that this was far more important than his career. i love when he said in the crowd yesterday, "every black person in here remembers when another person reminded you that you were black." if you're a person of color, you always have an incident like that. you could certainly feel his passion and his commitment to what he was talking about yesterday. i marvel that this is a global story. they know his name in germany, in paris, in new zealand. i think it's extraordinary and astounding that people would to support this the way they do. >> i have friends and family all over the world, in taiwan, in denmark, in france, in haiti, they are all talking about george floyd, gayle. >> yes. yes. what else do you have, vlad? i know you like to end on a high note. i'm going to end on a high note as we try do every day

here. 18-year-old playon patrick of columbus, ohio, delivered a powerful message before introducing former president barack obama at a virtual town hall yesterday. listen. >> america, the land of the free and home of the brave, we fought and died for that slogan right beside our white brothers. doesn't that make us worth something? >> former president obama said patrick's spoken word was a tough act to follow. the teenager tells us he wants to inspire change. >> it takes one heart being able to change, being able to look at both sides of the situation, both sides of any racial inequality type thing and see that on either side it should be equal. >> anthony, something tells me we have not heard the last of playon patrick.

>> no, he's a straight-a student, and he plans to attend ohio state to study criminal justice because he wants to look at the problems in the ohio court system. i -- i think he's going to go somewhere. i agree with you. >> hey, anthony? anthony, anthony? every time they talked to him yesterday he kept saying -- they say "the ohio state," they always refer to it like. that i like that, too. and i like that his name is "playon," because he plays on. i like that. >> thank you. ahead, civil rights icon congressman june lewis talks to gayle. stay with us.

protests. it's where the women's march started. it's where martin luther king junior delivered his i have a dream speech. it's where forest gump reunited with jenny after vietnam. they were like peas and carrots again. it was so beautiful. >> well, that's one picture of beauty. welcome back to "cbs this morning." all week we are dedicating the full 8:00 hour of our broadcast covering the nationwide protests and movements surrounding the death of george floyd. cbs news is committed to this important story, and our coverage will continue to draw attention to systemic problems and what needs to change and what we can all do. we can all do something. >> we can. today people gatter in minneapolis for a service honoring the life of george floyd. it comes as all four officers involved in his death have now been charged. the officer who put his knee onto floyd's neck, derek chauvin

is facing a charge of second degree degree murder on top of third degree murder and second degree manslaughter charges he was already facing. the other three officers involved, are charged with aiding and abetting murder. >> congressman john lewis is a champion of the civil rights movement and one of the leading figures. he marched alongside dr. martin luther king junior and was repeatedly beaten and arrested during nonviolent protests. he was the youngest person to speak at the 1963 march on washington from the steps of the lincoln memorial. >> we are tired of being beat by policeman and seeing our people locked up over and over again. how long can we be patient? we want our freedom, and we want want it now.

>> boy, congressman lewis joins us for his first network interview since the protests began over the death of george floyd. you are such a sight for sore eyes today. it's really good to see you. i want to start with getting your thoughts about george floyd, the way he died, your reaction to that and also your reaction to the news that we had yesterday that all four officers have been charged. >> the way this young man died, watching the video, it made me so sad. it was so painful. it made me cry. i kept saying to myself, how many more?

how many more young black men will be murdered? this madness must stop. and it was very moving, very moving to see hundreds and thousands of people from all over america and around the world take to the streets to speak up, to speak out, to get in what i call -- and because of the action of young and old black, white, latino, asian american and native american, because people cried and prayed, people would never ever forget what happened and how it happened. and it is my hope that we are on our way to greater change. to respect the dignity and worth

of every human being, and it doesn't matter the color or their black ground, or whether they're male or female, gay or straight. we have come to the point where we are one people. we're one family. we all live in the same house. not just american house. but the world's house. >> that's beautifully said, i don't think congress -- congressman. i heard you were mauved to tears when looking at the protest. we've heard so many characterizations of the protest. people have been calling it a turning point, a reckoning, a game changer. a bishop told us yesterday that it was a tipping point in so many respects, because he said that he has never seen so many

people to have -- you touched on it briefly, of this diversity walking shoulder to shoulder with people all around the country. you know, now we've been talking on the news about how george floyd is now a national name, a global name. they are marching in the streets in honor of george floyd and all the racial injustice in the country, in paris, in germany, in london. in new zealand, and i looked at that video of you at the beginning and think at the time you were only 23 years old, congressman lewis, when you stood in front of that crowd and said that we will not take this any longer. our time is now, and with we have got to do something to make the change. and so i'm wondering as you watch oall of this, what goes through your mind and what it means to you personally as you watch day after day. we've been following the protests for over eight days. and they're not getting smaller. they are actually getting bigger.

and when you watch your family members tell me that you've been parked in front of your tv, that you've been moved to tears, as you're watching what you're seeing on the screen, and i'd like to get your thoughts on that. okay. all right. this is what happens, audience, with live tv. his shot is frozen. weir going to go to break. we're going to work to get the shot back up and we'll be right back with you.

welcome back. welcome back. i always say i love live tv because you never know what could happen. what just happened is what you never want to happen when you're talking to the great iconic congressman john lewis. we're back after the technical problems. our team is good. we've got you back. let's pick up what we were saying. i wanted to talk about the protest in particular. people were saying it's a

tipping point. yesterday a bishop said it's a turning point when you look at the diversity of the crowd. i want to know, i know you've been watching. i understand you were moved to tears over the weekend looking at the protest. does this feel and look different to you? >> this feels and looks so different. it is so much more massive and all-inclusive. to see people from all over the world taking to the streets, to the roadways, to stand up, to speak up, to speak out. to do what i call getting in trouble. and with the sense of determination and commitment and dedication, there would be no turning back. people now understand what the

struggle was all about. it's another step down the very, very long road. toward freedom, justice for all human kind. >> what would you tell congressman young people and people who are not so young about the best way to seek justice? there's been a lot of controversy. a lot of talk about the looting. we should stress most of the protests were very peaceful, but there was looting and disruption. what would you say to people about the best way to achieve justice? >> during the 60s, the great majority of us accepted a way of peace, a way of love. philosophy and discipline for nonviolence as the way of life, as the way of living. there's something cleansing,

something wholesome about being peaceful and orderly. to stand up and with a sense of dignity and a sense of pride and never hate. and dr. king said over and over again, hate is too heavy a burden to bear. the way of love, is a much better way. and that's what we did. we were arrested. we were jailed. we were beaten. but we didn't hate. he changed america. i truly believe that's what's taken place now and will continue to take place during the next few days and weeks. it's going to take us much farther down that road to society at peace with itself. >> people who know you well, congressman, say you still

remain very optimistic. i'm wondering how you're able to still be so hopeful based on all that you've experienced both physically and emotionally. how do you do that? as you said, you were beaten. >> yes. i was beaten, left bloody and unconscious. i never gave up or became bitter. i believe that somehow and someway become necessary to use our bodies to help redeem the soul of a nation. and we must do it. create a society at peace with itself. and lay down the burden of hate and division. dr. king said violence and evil, you must stop someplace along the way.

and we became the sign of the movement. the sign of martin luther king junior and the great teacher to do what we could to leave our society better than we found it. >> president trump is threatening military intervention to suppress some of the protests. what do you think about that? >> i think it would be a serious mistake on the part of president trump to use the military to stop orderly, peaceful, nonviolent protests. you cannot stop the call of history. you may use troopers.

you may use fire hoses and water, but it cannot be stopped. it cannot be any turning back. we've come too far, made too much progress than to stop now and go back. the world is seeing what is happening. we are ready to continue to move forward. >> and what do you think is the role of people who are not black who want to support the movement? we're hearing a lot about that. >> well, we're all human. we're all a part of the human family, and it doesn't matter whether you're black, white, asian american or native american. we're one people. we're one family. we all live in the same house. the world house. and as dr. king said again, we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters.

i think what's been going on the past few days is living truth that we're all connected and nothing, not anything is going to separate us. >> congressman, i have to ask you about your health. you know, you had many people worry. you were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and you've been getting treatment. i want to know how you're doing. i also heard for the first time you got to see your cats. you've been treated in d.c. you got to see the cats over the weekend. i want to know how you're doing. what are your cat's names and how do they give you comfort? how's your health? start with that? >> my health is improving. i have a wonderful doctor and nurse, and they are taking good care of me. i'm very hopeful and optimistic.

they're trying to get me to eat more, and i'm trying to eat more to regain the weight. my cats. well, we don't -- we call them kitty kitty cat, and they know each other. when i went back home, this past weekend i was somewhat disappointed. i don't think they recognize me. >> all right. all right. congressman lewis, thank you so much. thank you for rolling with the punches this morning. you look great, and i agree, you can eat a little more, but you look great. we're so happy to have you here this morning. we'll be right back.

ahead, jill schlesinger on the latest weekly unemployment numbers and why many jobless americans are still not getting their benefits. you're local news is next.

good morning. it's 8:25. i'm len kiese. a $10,000 reward is being offered for the information of a looting of a gun store in hayward. 30 people work into richardson tactical llc on sunday night, stealing 29 firearms. the santa cruz police station was vandalized overnight. around 5,000 people marched against george floyd's death on west cliff drive last night. p l ywood in oakland has been covered in beautiful murals.

several dozen turned out to spray paint murals and slogans. the san bruno area, there's a water main break on semeth avenue. closures in the area. use the alternate, and traffic is busy through san bruno in the area. the meter lights on the plaza now off. no delays into san francisco, and san mateo bridge looking good near. west 92 at hillsdale, the reports of a stall blocking lanes. traffic is slow approaching the scene. debris in the area as well. mary? gianna, our temperatures rising through the afternoon, and it's a warm to hot conditions with above average for this time of the year. not as hot as yesterday, but still, 96 in concord. 97 in livermore. 80 in oakland, and mid-70s for san francisco. we will get that relief from the heat. it's coming. cooler friday, and especially for the weekend, and even cooler still, slight chance

his death is igniting a global cry for change as the city unites for george floyd. welcome back to "cbs this morning." new unemployment numbers out this morning shows american are not losing their jobs at the same pace as earlier in the coronavirus crisis.

but those numbers are still historically high. the labor department says nearly 1.9 million americans filed for jobless benefits last week, and that brings the total of reported job losses to more than 42 million since the economic crisis began 11 weeks ago. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us. jill, good morning. what stands out to you in this latest report? >> well, i think there is a good news/bad news within this report, and, remember, these are the weekly numbers. so let's start with the good news. we can use a little bit of that. the number of people applying for new claims is going down over time. we had a peak back at the end of march, but now we've had nine consecutive weeks were claims are dropping. t that's the good news. the bad news is we still have 21.5 million americans who are currently collecting unemployment benefits. we also had another 10 million people who were gig workers who

applied for unemployment. so you put it together, we are still in a hole. we are hoping to see the bottom of that. we're not quite there yet, tony. >> yeah. all right. so the suffering continues, but maybe the wave of layoffs has peaked so that's at least some good news. we understand people applying for jobless benefits, some of them are still struggling to get those benefits. what's going on there? >> we have been reporting about this from the beginning, that state unemployment systems were overwhelmed with requests but also runny on pretty rickety technology systems, and that means that a lot of people who have applied have not yet received their money. we understand through recent research 1/3 of people who have applied for benefits have not yet gotten them. and that means that there is probably $67 billion owed to many americans who have really -- are in the terrible place. they need this money. now, we're hopeful that the systems are loosening up as

claims drop down, but just understand there are a lot of people who are just operating on the razor's edge of financial solvency. they need this money, tony. >> yeah, that's an understatement of the year right there. i mean, the scale of the suffering out there and then i did not realize that the scale of relief that is waiting for these people was quite so large, in the billions of dollars. hard to contemplate. jill schlesinger, thank you very much for that context and that coverage. tomorrow morning, cbs news will bring you a special report on the monthly jobless numbers for the month of may. they could show unemployment at the highest level since the great depression. next on "cbs this morning," we'll talk with former nfl player about his heartfelt and informative video. that's getting a lot of attention.

i fervently believe that if the white person is your problem, only the white person can be your solution. so this is made for you, my white brothers and sisters, to increase your level of understanding so that you can increase your level of compassion and lead ultimately to change. consider this a safe space -- >> that is former nfl player emmanuel acho and his widely shared video, i love the title, "uncomfortable questions with a black man part one."

in it he answers questions from white friends about black people. he also talks about white privilege and why some people riot. it's been viewed -- listen to this -- around seven million times on instagram alone. wow. emmanuel acho joins us from austin, texas. good morning to you. i just have to say this -- i love this video. i love the tone. i love your energy. i love your candor. i don't know you, but i love everything about what you're doing starting with this -- you just said -- i'm a big fan, big fan. if the white person is your problem, then the white person is your solution. how so? >> yeah. i fervently believe that right now black people, african-americans, we have been pleading out for years for hundreds of years for help. but ultimately, the white person, our white brothers and sisters, they are the ones in power, they are the ones who truly run this country if we're being honest.

i realized it's not necessarily about what i know, gayle, it's about what i can get my white brothers and sisters to know. and if they want to stand with us which so many of them desperately want to do at this point in time, well, let me help educate them, gayle. let me help increase their level of knowledge so they can fully feel our level of pain, so they can fully help. >> well, i'm curious about how this came about because i don't know about you, but i've had so many white friends and colleagues -- i even heard from someone in high school, and it's been a minute since i've been to high school, asking what can i do to support -- yeah. you don't need to laugh at that. you don't need to laugh at that. so i'm wondering, are you getting the same thing? how did this come about? >> yeah. so it came about in a crazy way. on thursday i realized maybe god put me in this position for now. i went to a predominantly white private school in dallas, but i played in the nfl in a way

different culture and said i know how to communicate with these white brothers and when these white sisters. and so, gayle, i called up the studio space, and i just rented out the space. in one take, gayle, i -- i opened up my eyes, and i just started talking. i never cut the camera, never hit pause. i just poured out my heart. i realized that white people predominantly have four questions that i hear a lot -- why do you all think white privilege exists? why can black people say the "n" word but white can't. what about black-on-black crime? and why are you all rioting. i wanted to address all the questions that are uncomfortable for so many of my white friends. >> yeah, yeah. but this is a thing -- you say whiteness can be weaponized. i really like what you said about white privilege. >> yes. >> the analogy that you made. you gave some very specific examples in your life about the mailbx, talk about, that the elevator. can you talk about your definition of that? it was really well done.

>> so i preface with this -- white privilege is not saying that your life hasn't been hard as a white person. white privilege is saying your skin color, it hasn't contributed to the difficulty of your life. i talk about as a black man living in an affluent neighborhood in austin. when i flew up to a mailbox, if i see a white person walking up, i will consciously sit in my car because i don't want to make her feel like i'm a threat. if i'm -- if i'm in an elevator with a white woman or white man, i'm going to push the elevator button first and get off first in a rush. i don't want them to feel like i am a threat. remember, amy cooper last week, the white woman in central park who called the cops on a black man who was threatening her life when obviously he wasn't, i'm reminded of 1955, emmett 'til, 194-year-old boy mutilated, lynched, and murdered because a white woman claimed he flirted with her. in 2017, that white woman recanted that story. the two white men who murdered emmett till, they got off

because they knew they couldn't be charged against because of double jeopardy. they got off and admitted they did it. imagine if camera phones didn't exist. imagine what would have happened not just in that central park incident but even today. >> i don't want to imagine that. yeah. >> yeah. that was what -- i wanted to inform. and i wanted to inform my white brothers and sisters like, look, don't feel googluilty, don't fe bad. if you want to be the solution to this world peace that we need, simply educate yourself. >> it's anthony mason. i wanted to jump in with a question -- by the way, i'm stunned that this is still happening even with camera phones. you'd think that that would help stop it, people knowing that they're photographed. i want to turn to a story about nfl superstar drew brees, being criticized by his teammates for comments that he wouldn't support any player taking a knee during the national anthem. first i want to play the reaction by his teammate malcolm

jenkins. >> i will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the united states of america or our country. i think what you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart is it shows unity. it shows that we are all in this together. we can all do better. and that we are all part of the solution. >> drew brees, if you don't understand how hurtful, how insensitive your comments are, you are part of the problem. when we step off this and i take my helmet off, i'm a black man walking around america. i'm telling you i'm dealing with these things, my community's dealing with these things. and your response to me is don't talk about that here. this is not the place. drew, where's the place, drew? >> this morning, brees issued a lengthy apology for his comments saying it breaks his heart to realize how much pain he has caused.

he added, quote, i recognize that i am part of the solution and can be a leader for the black community in this movement. what's your reaction to all of that? >> well, let me set the record straight, my friend, anthony. the agenda with colin kaepernick got moved. kaepernick at first was told to take a knee by a green beret, a man by the naimte, boyer, who i played with in texas. he served in the military for a decade and continues to serve. for those who don't know, that's a fact check. colin kaepernick wasn't the one who initiated taking the knee. he was sitting. a former military person, nate boyer, told colin kaepernick it would be more handle to take a -- more honorable to take a knee. i'm disappointed with drew brees. i know malcolm jenkins' hart. brees has to understand how can you tell an oppressed person when to protest aggression?

that does not -- that defines the fact that oppression exists. i'm going to tell you when you can protest your mistreatment. that to me does not make sense. so drew brees, i would hope that he would be somebody who would watch one of the videos i put out and learn before you speak. this isn't about disrespecting a flag. this never was about a flag. this was about awareness. >> right. i hope -- i hope everybody watches your video, by the way, of every color. thank you so much for being with us today. emmanuel acho, we appreciate it. we'll be right back. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning."

in our series "a more perfect union," we aim to show that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. as peaceful protests sweep the nation, small groups of vandals

and looters in some areas are destroying store fronts and stealing what's inside. mireya villarreal shows us how the dallas community is helping businesses stay open, including the first black-owned restaurant in one part of the city. >> reporter: the sounds of broken glass disrupted peaceful calls for justice this week. those intent on wreaking havoc didn't discriminate. >> it was glass everywhere. glass travels when it shatters. glass was everywhere. the windows was busted. >> reporter: wesley williams owns burgerim, the first black-owned bar and restaurant in dallas' west end. after vandals smashed his windows, he could have been mad, but in light of george floyd's death he chose empathy instead. >> i got the bigger picture. like i wasn't mad, it's material. you know what i'm saying? i mean, we got broken glass, but we got a man that lost his life. this is business. >> reporter: people responded to

his message within hours of posting this picture. hundreds turned out to buy a burger, including dallas mavericks owner mark cuban. i heard people were waiting three or four hours to just order and get their food. >> it -- they were. they were. i got a phone call from one of my employees, they said, hey, listen, you need to get down here. i was floored. i was like, there is -- this is what it's about. mind you, it was all demographics. it was young, old, black, white, hispanic, businessmen, firefighters, police, teachers. >> reporter: blocks away, looters also ransacked guns and roses boutique. this video shared on social media captures the moment a man smashed a pole through the window. owner princess pope intends to share it with police. >> i've never seen anything like it. like i couldn't -- yeah, at that moment, i couldn't believe this had happened to me. things just start to rush

through my head like -- all of my hard work. i just felt like everything just crumbled in seconds. >> reporter: how much did you lose? >> i know at least 80% of the inventory is gone for sure. >> reporter: pope's community rallied to support her. within four days, nearly 4,000 donors from all over the world raised more than $110,000 to get her back on her feet. are you surprised at how much support that you have seen from people all over the world? >> i am surprised, and i am so grateful. just the people that just believe in us and believe in me it just makes my heart smile. i'm just happy to just come back even bigger, better, and bolder than before. >> reporter: as the protests continue to resonate with diverse communities, so does the message of unity. the co-man brothers came here for lunch five days after the vandalism. >> i intended to spend some money today. yeah. i came here to show my support
