people feel certain things. hispanics feel certain things towards blacks. >> i've often wondered, were they better off as slaves. racism according to the supreme court is a thing of the past. >> this decision strikes down a key part of the voting rights act. >> you think in 1965, barack obama, a black american could be elected president? >> no, of course not. >> okay, so the world's changed. my point. that's robert's point. >> no, it's not the point. >> it hurts a bunch of lazy blacks, you say, so be it. >> you're out of your cotton pickin' mind, and they'll attack me for referencing cotton picking. >> it is what i is, and i'm not changing. >> it's been that way historically, and it will always be that way. good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. you know, i think that all of the hate talk that this country

has been exposed to by right wing talkers in the conservative media has really helped gin up the kind of garbage we've put up with this week jean. we're back talking about race. why? because the culture club just can't quite seem to get it together what 2014 is all about. this guy right here has said some of the most vile things ever about president obama. it gives them license, it emboldens them to indict an entire race, and they even write a budget that aligns with this kind of thinking. oh, oh, there is a connection. last week on this program, we were just wondering how many cliven bundys are actually out there across america. well, it turns out they're everywhere. they're even in the national basketball association. as charles barkley says, we're a black league. you can find racism there.

it's the man this time. racism is still alive in america. case in point -- registered republican los angeles clippers owners donald sterling. he's the latest example of the bundy clan. the billionaire businessman was allegedly caught on tape making a series of blazant racist remarks. sterling was upset with his girlfriend for posting this picture on instagram that she took with one of the yacht time great human beings, magic johnson. you know how uncephalic magic johnson has been with his wealth to create jobs in america and do things for people? probably a lot more than bundy or sterling. after sterling found out this was posted, he allegedly made these racist comments. >> people call you and say you have black people on my instagram and it bothers you? >> yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that

you're associating with black people. you don't have to. >> you don't -- i saw someone i admire. i admire magic johnson. >> okay. good. >> i'm sorry. he's made a lot of changes for his community, for the world, for the people, for the minorities. he's helped a lot of people. >> why are you forcing this down my throat? i'm finished talking to. i have nothing more to say. >> and it's a picture with someone i admire. >> good. >> and he happens to be black, and i'm sorry. >> i think it's nice that you admire him. i know him well and he should be admired. i'm just saying it's too bad you can't admire him privately, and during your entire [ bleep ] life, bring bring him here, feed him [ bleep ] him, i don't care, but don't put it for the world to see so they have to call me. >> sterling attempted to justify his disturbing racist remarks.

he allegedly made the following comments about taking care of his team. >> because i don't understand. i don't see your views. i wasn't raised the way you were raised. >> if you don't feel it, don't come to my games. don't bring black people and don't come. >> do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that plays for you? >> you just -- do i know? i support them and give them food and clothes and cars and houses. who gives it to them? does someone else give it to them? do i know that -- who makes the game? do i make the game? or do they make the game? is there 30 owners that created the league? >> sterling's alleged comments have caused obviously an outrage throughout if the nba and the country. president obama was asked about it. this is the president had no problem calling sterling what he is. >> when ignorant folks want to

advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything. you just let them talk. that's what happened here. you know, i have confidence that the nba commissioner, adam silver, a good man, will address this. obviously the nba is a league that is beloved by fans all across the country, has an awful lot of african-american players, it's steeped in african-american culture, and i suspect the nba will be deeply concerned in resolving this. >> they might as well asked the president, say, is your company making any progress on this race thing? sterling's comments come right in the wake of the republican hero of last week, cliven bundy. his remarks were outrageous the now we have more. this week's comments remind me of last week's racist comments. >> i want to tell you one more

thing about the negro. i've often wondered, are they better off as slaves picking cotton, having a family life, or better off under government subsi subsidy. so two sets the ratest remarks made be two different white guys. thanks, make no mistake, these guys are what we see on the surface. what's really down below? its everywhere, right? from racist ranchers who are willing to screw the government to billionaire basketball team owners who think they're responsible for everything. it's all throughout america, all walks of life. meanwhile, not everyone agrees with me. on sunday, bill crystal, the head of the thought process of the conservative movement said there's really no need to get upset about a few racist comments. >> both these people seem to be bigoted, foolish, all that. i don't think the l.a. clippers are a bigoted organization, however. >> i think in that case i'm

wary -- i sort of agree with alicia. let's look at the actual deals of people. if people discrimination, it's against the law, they should be -- private organizations and private businesses can fire people. >> so what does the nba -- >> oh, it's the private sector, huh? saying anything and do anything, have no responsibility whatsoever, nobody is watching, billy, especially the can i see, right? in the next generation? he's wrong, this is what's wrong with the conservative movement. they're afraid to get after it the way we are supposed to. you can't give this situation an alibi. racism still runs rampant in the republican party. that's right. it's just a little hard to identify sometimes. it's not out in the open lie cliven bundy or donald sterling. in march, failed vice president candidate paul ryan came under criticism saying this

about inner city men. >> your body charles murray or bob putnam over at harvard, those guys have written books on this, which is we have this tailspin of culture in our inner cities of men not works, just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and culture of work. so there's a real culture problem here. >> ooh, not the best choice of words. ryan tried to backtrack. he relates the statement -- after reading the transcript of yesterday mork's interview, it is clear i was inarticulate about the point i was trying to make. inarticulate, looking for an exit strategy, aren't you, congressman? paul ryan can try to whitewash the comments, but he can't whitewashle policies. he supports policies that attack

minorities. here is paul ryan's 2015 budget, overall the republican pipe dream of a budget cuts $4.8 trillion out of the budget over the next decade. pretty big number. who is he hitting? 69% of the cuts come from people from low or moderate incomes. ryan wants to cut 3.3 trillion from programs like medicaid, and snap. during the 212 election, paul ryan lost his cool when asked, how is policies what help inner city americans? >> the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity. is to help people get out of the inner cities teach good discipline, good character, that is civil society. >> you do that by cutting taxes with a big tax cut? >> those are your words, not mine. >> thank you very much, sir. >> yeah. that was kind of strange.

stuff words into people's mouths? >> well, i meant no offense. >> no, it's not like did are. paul ryan was trying to upset, because he knows his policies hurt inner city americans. it's not just his budget, but also conservative justices. you see, last summer, five supreme court justices struck down the heart of the voting rights act. they ruled that racism is dead in america. it's not in america. it's all gone. these justices said it was okay for racist counties in the southern portion of the united states to change their election laws without any federal approval, because we're done with this racist thing. overall republican policies are targeted to hurt minority americans. paul ryan's budget hurts. their actions hurt, and they are emboldened by conversations that we have been exposed to over the weekend by people who are the

power brokers. let's see. the ryan budget, very clear who he wants to hurt. repealing obamacare. how many times have they voted to do that? how about stopping unemployment. they want to do that? they certainly don't want to give any extensions to help folks out, and of course public school vouchers, they're attacking unions, workers, teachers, and they want to privatize everything. want to go after food stamp cuts and of course increased voting rights restrictions. those aren't coming from the democrats. you see radical talk in this country leads to radical policies like this. i do believe that the conservatives in this country continue to few racism by their policies that attack minorities in this country, and try to keep the works folk down. it emboldens people who are in power to say what they say with absolutely no response whatsoever. kids are watching. they're listening. what kind of example are we setting?

get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question -- what's worse, racist comments or racist policies? text a for racist comments, text b for racist policies to 67622. you can always go to our blog. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. for more on the conversation, let me bring in dr. michael eric dyson, and also goldy taylor of thegrio.com. thanks for being here. your reaction? >> you know jesse jackson often tells the story that the chicken and pig are going down the street asking about breakfast, and say let's each contribute. the chicken has to contribute only an egg. the pig has to contribute his behind. so bill crystal is a chicken, the rest of the with minorities in this country are, quote, the pigs who have to give up our

very hides. we have more skin in the game, so to speak, and more investment here in terms of the consequences that renown to us, bill crystal's easy dismissal of the complicated configuration affair the bundy and sterling remarks shows the way in which some people can afford to be oblivious and unconscious of the racial consequences of a society in which we live, but those of us in the trenches, those who receive the brunt of the effect of racism have to speak up intelligently and articulately about what's going on, so the bill crystals of the world are in cahoots with unintentional perhaps and inadvertently with the very forces of racial dominance that don't want to get called out and the moment we call them out, we're accused of being race or racially obsessed, and what we're trying to do simply is be honest, open and have a complicated argument in a

complicated time about the most diadvicive issue. it appears in the 21st century, it lengthens across the horizon, because it continues to be a problem in the 21st century as well. >> i think this constant negativity has emboldened a lot of people in this country to have at itivities no question. >> with absolutely no repercussion whatsoever. goldy, your thoughts on cliven bundy and donald sterling. are they just the tip of the iceberg? how deep does it run in society? >> i think unfortunately thoughts and fears like those are quite pervasive. there are some who like to think about the progress and how far this country has come, and then there are thought of us who like to talk about and fight for how far this country has to go. it isn't either/or. it's both/and.

there's a delicate balance, and therein lies the complicated discussion we have to have. but the cliven bundys, and donald steriling of the world, they sort of represent all that is wrong and what is past about america, or what we want to be in the past of america. looking forward to this future, we've got to begin to put our arms around having that complicated very hard conversation without sort of castigating people based on, you know, how they were socialized, but begin to educate anew, to talk about what perfecting this union really does look like. unfortunately, though, while bigotry and having those kinds of beliefs happens to be a legal thing, when you put that into action, when you enact it into policy, when you impact people's lives based upon the very diadvicive social constructs that you created by your own fears, that's when people's lives begin to become diminished and impacted in a negative was.

we saw it in jim crow, but that was more than about a physical separateness, it was about an economic apartheid, keeping our stuff away from them. that's what ryan's policies are about. it's a brand-new brand of economic apartheid. them happening to be us. >> i think that ryan's budget, and you see the numbers right there, come from a thought process that has been put on the american people in the last week. i mean, if these guys were put in a budget, this would what it would look like. how else can you read it when you want to attack the very issue thatsh to turn people's lives around. they don't want to pay the taxes, they don't want the responsibilities, they don't want government involved at all. so they pick targets, and their targets are the weakest politically, and i think that the attack on the president constantly, not even recognizing it was elected, reelected, the authenticity of his birth, this

all adds up to embolden on lot of people to power and money to use their platform, and to be exposed. this is a side of america that is ugly. how do we turn this around? >> yeah, you're speaking to something that's very serious here, and people don't even get the relationship between the two. on the one hand, we've got infrastructure of intelligentia, who continue to articulate values, visions and understandings of life that reinforced the every day, the common sense that passes for learning and understanding of race in america. when you have the rush limbaughs, when you have the glenn becks, the radio show hosts to the right, when you have paul ryan, you have people who are ideologues on the right constantly lamb pasting the legitimacy of the presidency, especially -- >> it permeates throughout society. it permeates throughout society. emboldens people so to say --

>> it unleashes the bigotry and vile racism that can easily be tapped. if obama is heart shard educated ivy league degreed, and a man of offense sophistication and outlook, if he's subjected, then the ordinary human being, the national basketball association is subjected to the same kind of criminal and lethal bigotry that a donald sterling would unleash, but it's across the board. it's per vase i have been. that's the intellectual infrastructure that reinforces the bigotry at the level of the budget, at the level of common discourse in america, which is why we're in such a racial miasma. >> we are up on time unfortunately. goldy taylor, michael eric dyson, great to have you tonight we'll talk more. on the ground in washington, d.c., we continue our special series coverage of the pipeline, keystony pipeline.

with this. this is one of their folks. >> i think as we get down the road, we probably will hear from them. initially they want to draw this technical line, say these charges relate to things that happened before he ran for congress, so i get it's all right to have a guy charged with massive tax fraud, with underreporting income, with mail fraud, as long as he did it before he got to congress. i think the pressure will mount and ultimately i think they will say something. >> he's on the ballot in november, you know. you were going to say? >> that's the problem. the problem is that, as long as he stays alive, the only way they can get him off the ballot is if he's appointed to a judgeship. that would be a real first. i don't think we're going to see somebody until federal indictment appointed to a judgeship. the situation for republicans in that district is grim. i think democrats will win that seat, and there's no way forward

for the republicans here. they calculate for the moment, except to sort of stand behind this guy. i think as time goes on, we'll see them peel away. silence gives consent. it would seem to me if the republicans are concerned about leadership, they would be able to render judgment pretty quickly after a 20-counseled indictment and say he's on the ballot, but we have to remedy this. he shouldn't be running for office. he's got too many things going on in his life without convicting him in the public. can't they render a decision that, hey we've got to go in a different direction. >> if they were smart that's what they would do. if they could replace him on the ballot, they would replace him on the ballot, but elf a very fast-breakius republican caucus. i think boehner is obviously afraid to move here. as time goes on, they don't want to go into the 2014 election with this guy as a poster boy. they'll have a few more, by the way. this other guy, mcallister just

resigned in louisiana or announced he won't run gf after being accused of -- they had film of him kissing a staffer, so they may be headed into a mini 2006 when they had a lot of scandals suddenly. that made the midterm election much more difficult. at least we're going to pick up one seat in new york. i'm pretty confident of that. >> bob shrum, great to have you with us, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. new voices in the fight against the keystony xl popline. i was on the ground with the march in washington. to have the cowboys and tribes come together is, i'll tell you what, i wouldn't want to take on the cowboys and indians. if i was transcanada, i would be packing up and heading loam. later the donald. we're coming right back.

to settle allegations he discriminated against african-americans, hispanics and families with children at apartments he owned. at the time, it was the largest settlement payment ever in a case involving discrimination in apartment rental. in february in 2009, general manager and hall-of-famer elgin baylor filed an age and racial discrimination lawsuit against sterling. baylor who spent 22 years as the clippers general manager claimed sterling, quote, had a vision of a southern plantation-type structure. and accused the owner of pervasive and ongoing racist attitude. baylor later dropped the race accusation and a jury ruled in favor of steriling in 2011. isn't it hard to believe the nba didn't know what this guy sterling was all about? now they face some real tough questions. the question is, will he be able to maintain his position as an owner in the nba moving forward? joining me tonight to answer that, espn, nba analyst and

former nba coast, p.j. carlesimo. good to have you with us tonight. this is the time when the nba is at its peak. i mean, it's may, it's june. it's championship time. this is a nightmare for them. can this guy stay in the league? do the owners have the legal authority to do something here? >> i'm not sure about that. that's what's got everybody very concerned. right now, everybody wants to be fair and i lou due process to take its course and just hear if there's a defense, but clearly, everyone can't imagine any defense for those remarks if that was actually mr. sterling talking. and no one can imagine him staying in the nba. i think that we pride ourselves and we still do. i think it's horrific, those of us who are in the community to think that he could be in such an influential position in our league and be allowed to continue. but as you said, the pivotal

word is legal. can he be forced out? >> do you think the owners will ask him to move on? >> i would be shocked if they didn't. i can't believe that the other 29 owners share anything, you know, an iota of any of that feeling. and i think that they're, you know, appalled. i think they know how wrong it is and i think they don't want that in the nba. whether they'll be able to exert enough influence, whether our commissioner has enough authority to make that come about. i'm just not sure. we're all looking forward to the press conference tomorrow to find out just how quickly it can be done. >> does it take this long to figure out? tomorrow, that will make it three days old. why is the league so slow, or are they? >> i don't think they are. i think it's legal. from the outside, i was with the commissioner saturday night. he happened to be at the game we were broadcasting in memphis, tennessee, and then, of course, when the out to oklahoma fto be

at the game yesterday. i can't imagine any other reason that they're proceeding so carefully other than the legal ramifications and making sure a, that due process is followed and b, that they're confident in what they're doing that it's within their prerogative to do it. >> coach, give us a sense. how nervous is the league about the advertiser fallout, which took place today. a number of big ones have stepped aside. could this spread to be a league problem. >> i don't know truly, ed. i wouldn't think so. i think it's much more a clipper and a donald sterling problem. i'm not saying it's going to go away the next day if there is a resolution to this and somehow donald sterming no longer has anything to do with the nba or the clippers. would they come back immediately. i would hope so, but i have no insight into that at all. >> p.j., i've got to ask you, if you're coaching the clippers, how do you handle the team at

this point? >> i tell you, i can't imagine what doc rivers is going through. he has a unique perspective. an african-american, somebody who played in this league, a great coach, someone who also spent time in our profession right now. there's not anybody better to handle this situation than doc. watching him in the press conference yesterday, listening to his telephone press conference today, i can't -- how many times he said i just don't know what the right answer is, he's certainly is not pushing his players at all. because you can't. he wants them to come to whatever conclusions they do. and then to go forward collectively as a team. but i can't imagine a more collaging situation than what doc is going through right now. >> p.j. carlesimo, really appreciate your time on "the ed show" tonight. thanks so much for joining us. >> ed, great being with you. >> well, whether the nba likes it or in the -- not, they're in

the image business. if you owned an nba team, what's proper restitution here? legally they may not have the muscle to be able to remove this guy. but the fundamental question is, do the owner, the 29 owners of the nba, do they want this guy part of the fraternity? he's a problem. he's a big problem. it would seem to me the nba owners want to protect their product. the best way is to professionally step up sclektively and ask this guy to sell the team and move on and go do something else. if i'm an owner, i'm asking what in in the world did i do to deserve this? and this thing about losing advertisers and sponsors, that can become contagious and that's the last thing the league needs. they can rid themselves of donald sterling, make a statement they don't want him in the league anymore and put more pressure on him to ace isolate him even further, maybe he'll

sell for a good price. and isn't it ironic that magic johnson has offered to buy the team. just ask him to sell, that would be the first step. game five, golden state at l.a. clippers. this will be another big story tomorrow. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> good evening. thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's league, the full court press is on against an nba team owner. today, pressure is building on the nba to take strong, swift action against the los angeles clpers at the racist comments emerged over the weekend. the nba commissioner will speak tomorrow. but today, many team sponsors are already speaking loud and clear. a growing list has said they won't subsidize bigotry.
