joanna, i want the drive your t attention to one point that i read last night and i know that i willthis, but you were talking about the black mormons and the very clear racist practices within the church, and you write, these are the unspoken legacies we inherit when we belong to a people. not only luminous visions of eternal expanses of love and kindness, but actual human histories of exclusion and rank prejudi prejudice. i thought, that's it. that when we are part of a people, we take it all. we talking about american exceptionalism, and we are both this extraordinary american nation full of goodness, and we are americans who still to this day write benefit from the realities of the slavery and jim crow, and talk to me about how we can in public space make that kind of narrative a way to discuss the problematic histories of the church? >> i was raised a as mormon to believe in a god that was with just, loving, powerful, and also raised in a church that when i was 7 years old only started to give the priesthood to men of african decent. that is a huge contradiction, because every m

. >> it doesn't match the ipad in features but you joanna stern says that is not the point. >> it didn'teem like they were going after apple. it seems like they were going after amazon. >> it buys, books, is music and movies from google instead of amazon and plays with the nynex us q. >> a small computer designed to live in your home. it plugs into the best speakers and tv in your house and it is always connected to the cloud. >> the gadgets run a new version of and troy with a smart assistant. >> google will tell you when to leave based on how long it will take you to walk to the bus stop, when the next bus arrives and how long that bus ride will take. >> every developer here will walk away with one the new 7-inch tablets. a new android phone and a nexusq. even with all of the free freebies there is one thing many are lining up to pay for. and what a demow, jumping out of a plane and repelling down a wall streamed live from a tiny device you wear on your face. going the glass captures life as it happens in a tiny display feeds you information so you don't have to pull out your phone. >>

joanna, i want to come to you. conversation in our meeting yesterday and all the singles in the room rose their hand and said yes, i have felt this. >> yes. absolutely. i have definitely felt it. i workman i different places and there's times that i was asked to travel on weekends so that my married parent counterparts could stay home with their kids. >> how do you react to that? what do you say? >> i said yes all the time. i never said no. i never said no. i had a conversation with one of my boss es about it. >> how did that go? >> it actually went well. it was an honest open conversation. we chatted about it. i asked him and he said, well, it's true. you don't have kids. >> so maybe that would be some advice, nicole. if people are thinking about what to do, you have to have an open, honest conversation. >> yeah. i know -- singlism has a bully dimension to it. the moment that you call someone out and say, hey, listen, i'm not willing to stand for this, really back off, no, i'm not going to work this saturday witho

. >> i'm joined by managing editor of the grio.com joanna wood reed and rebecca.. the prosecution says this guy lied about all of his money. the defense says it was an honest mistake. what do you say? >> well, until we see the evidence, we'll take a step back. mark o'mara says that george zimmerman did have the money in the account. obviously that's not something they can controvert. if the money was in the account but was not used because it came from donations. apparently, i would assume, the defense is going to be our money was 30 cents or whatever they claim, that they had absolutely nothing. this money that came from donations we kept separate and didn't know what to do with it. we didn't think that was accessible money. i don't know if that is going to fly with the judge. it doesn't really sound like something they should not have revealed. i don't know why they wouldn't have just said, judge, we have this amount in our private account and this came in from donations. i'm not sure why anyone would let them do that. so i am say how could it not be an honest m

in contrast in doing this kind of work in countries where, as joanna points out, in colombia that government was on their side try to help her but there are other areas where people control the water works, the electric grid, and they do not want people coming to help to succeed. >> i think we have a lot of those situations. but back to the point about yemen, and i like your point about love, because i think it factors into that as well. even in the most complex environments, there are ways for skilled people who listen and to talk to people where they are and not where they should be, and it may not even be the warlord or the head of state, but the community leader, the doctor, the midwife through whom he can work. the challenge is the cases were that is a chronic situation. we are dealing with a longstanding humanitarian crisis in south sudan. and even with independence, we are very far from being out of the woods. the somalia is a case where there is no government and the circumstances there, there is an overwhelming reliance on humanitarian since -- humanitarian assistance. but even ther
