and i would point to all the genius that's being wasted in black america, white america, latino, low-income rural. and talk about a way that we could put this next generation on track to succeed. fundamentally, i think the politics of the united states has become a politics of nostalgia and lament on both sides. everybody talks about their favorite decade, talk about the '60s as liberals. apparently the republicans before the new deal. but we need a politics of a future. dr. king gave us a future 50 years ago. he didn't say i have a complaint, critique, attack on the other side. he said, i have a dream. if president obama would put forward a dream that includes all kids being able to succeed, but don't shy away from the black kids, i think the country could embrace him in a different way. >> van jones, one of the co hosts of "crossfire," which airs weeknights, 6:30 p.m. eastern right after "the situation room." thanks for coming in. >> thanks. >>> today there is a new video showing an american -- an american captive, kenneth bae, in north korea. he makes a startling admission. was it coerce

understanding of race and racism this america being confined to that one moment and being confined to that one idea of having a dream, that little black boys and little white boys will hold hands together, means that we don't deal with what racism actually is. we don't deal with the fact that the governing philosophy for the united states of america since its inception has been white supremacy. we don't have to deal with it because, you know, all we had was a dream that we would be nice to one another. so what i appreciate about gary's book and, you know, also jeanne's book about rosa parks is that we are rescuing these figures and their legacies from this narrative of american exceptionalism.
