black panther party endorse violence? >> the violence was all around us. it was for defense. black people were being shot in the streets. the violence was against us. we were not a violent organization. we were an organization trying to challenge and defend our communities against the existing violence. >> professor joseph, can you talk a bit about the tactics of the black panther party? >> well, i would say that the tactics are going to be multiple. there's going to be multiple strategies. like professor cleaver was saying, the initial name is black panther party for self-defense. so when we think about the 10-point program or really the 20-point program that the black panthers started in '66 and released in '68, they talk about everyone from ending police brutality, to freeing black women and men who were in state and local and federal prisons, to having employment, good jobs, good schools, education. point 10 talked about land, peace, bread, and justice. so on one level, the tactic was self-defense and legally arming th

so, people began calling at the black panther party. they used that for a reason. a panther is an animal who will mind its own business, but if you reach out to attack them, he will wipe you out. he is not an attack animal. so, the symbol and the notion of the black panther connecting with radical black politics was very positive -- very popular. another group in california took the name and said, black panther party for self-defense. >> good morning and thank you for taking my call. i wanted to highlight something i have been seeing over the weekend. several articles in the new york times regarding the census bureau and a study that they had been working on since 2004. which concluded with them deciding that they would create a designation for hispanics and arab-americans, so they wouldn't have to define themselves as white. however, the trump administration and jeff sessions came up with another question, which of course you all, i am sure, no. they rejected the designation for hispanics and arab- americans and opted for united states citizen. a question about whe

people began calling it a black panther party and they used that for a certain reason. they said the panther is the kind of animal who will never, you know -- minds its own business but then if you reach out to attack him he will wipe you out, but he is not an attack animal. so the symbol and the notion and the black panther as connecting with radical black politics was very, very, very popular. another group in california took the name and they said black panther party for self defense. >> let's take a couple calls. anthony has been waiting in mansfield, texas. that line for those between 30 and 60. good morning. >> caller: good morning and thank you for taking my call. i just wanted to highlight something i've been seeing over the weekend, several articles actually in the "new york times" regarding the census bureau and a study that they had been working on since 2004 which concluded with them deciding that they would create a designation for hispanics and arab americans so they wouldn't have to define themselves as white, however, the trump administration through jeff

of the black panther party and that was community work, building in the black community, and the other aspect that i became connected to was working in the prisons. in the prisons i saw charges that i might go to prison. i had other people in the black panther party with me who were imprisoned. one of the things i did was disconnected from the black panther party. i created a prison program. that prison program has three aspects. the first was the bookstore. that bookstore was intended to get books into the jail. books that would help increase the awareness and consciousness of the black people. they had gone to jail and educated himself and have become devoted and committed to the community. we had malcolm x. as a model where gone to jail as a petty criminal. i still feel in the jails today. knowing that self-education is one tool to transform people in jail. that was connected as a vision and publishing company. they would publish books for those so throughout the black community and be sold and move through the jails. then there was, printing company. that is what we created when we

i think black panther changed the equation because it made executives see there was international valuefilms. all that and more in this special hollywood and race edition of talking movies. leading african—american filmmaker spike lee is back this month with blackkkla nsman, a period film which relates very much to the present—day. this politically—provocative picture has been getting excellent reviews and it marks a real return to form for the director. i'm happy to be talking to a true white american. god bless white america. the central character in blackkklansman is a real—life figure, ron stallworth, a black police detective who infiltrated the white supremacist group the ku klux klan in colorado springs in the 19705. he did it by striking up a relationship with klan members by phone, then a white surrogate police officer, a colleague, stood in for him in face—to—face meetings. ron stallworth was modest about his accomplishments at the film's new york premiere. infiltrating the group, penetrating them was very easy because they didn't take time to recognise the signs that something

unfortunately some writers have equated black power singularly and exclusively with the black panther party. that flowered in oakland, california. but that is a very limited view of an epic period in the long black revolt. in fact the black power movement was articulated in the cultural, political and economic programs developed not only by the black panther party and snic, but also by the black arts movement, the los angeles organization us, the black women's united front, the republic of new africa, the nation of islam, organization of afro-american unity, the young lords, league of revolutionary black workers and so forth. that black power generation is part of the rise out of racial bondage and the movement for self-emancipation that dr. dubois called the most magnificent drama in the last millennium. together these social formations galvanized millions of black people in the broadest movement in african-american history. high school and college youth organized black student union, professors and educators created black studies programs. athletes mobilized protests against poverty

back panther, it's been a noteworthy yearfor black cinema. back panther, it's been a cinema. more back panther, it's been a noteworthy yearfor black cinema. more modest of undertakings of black characters and black stories have also been doing well, as tristan daley reports. with months still left in 2018, this year has already seen the release of several films with black leads. year has already seen the release of severalfilms with black leads. a number of these films deal with real issues facing black people in america, but with creative flair. hey, mr kramer, this is limestone from real view, i didn't catch you at the wrong time, did i? there was sorry to bother you, a satire about a telemarketer. in blindspot in, colin, played by david dixon, tries to stay out of trouble on his last days of probation in his rapidly gentrifying hometown of oakland in california. even though this isn't a musicalfilm, characters in the movie wrapped. you stop me feeling like a monster in my own town. he co—wrote the film and he says although this project is a comedy, it doesn't strike

so the black panthers were, i was supposed to join the black panthers in the snnc office, the summer of 1968, all of us were there. about 100 of us were there and bobby seal never showed up. so then people joined baracka's . so, it depended on which group you came in. but i think what we need to understand is our community has a long tradition of these self-help programs. like the food program. free breakfast, stuff like that. father divine, right? let's not have amnesia about these. so what we were doing is we were reinventing what our ancestors had laid out. there's a lot of different tools. each group the black women's , united front said hey, you , guys don't speak for us. we got a black woman's agenda, right? the national welfare rights organization is a very important statement because here's the largest group of women, period. 100,000 women, nationwide, they don't usually appeal on the feminist history thing and they don't usually appear in the black power thing, right? so we have, we're just beginning to map out all these different groups groups. the black student unions are

some have equated black power exclusively with the black panther party. that is in oakland, california. that is a limited view of an epic. in the revolts of. the black power movement was articulated in the cultural political and economic programs developed not only by the black panther program but also by the black arts movement, the los angeles republic of africa. african liberation support committee. that is the black power generation pick part of the rise at of racial bonding and the movement for self emancipation that the doctor called the most magnificent drama in the last millennium. to gather these -- together these galvanized millions of people in the broadest movement in african-american history. high school and college youth organized black student unions. professors created programs. athletes will be -- mobilized protest. militant unions. welfare mothers demanded power and dignity. soldiers resisted armory discipline and resisted uprising. politically conscious inmates saluted malcolm x and george jackson. after each rebellion new organizations

oscar but there are some people that say this is a reaction of the academy over the success of black pantherst. there is fear that perhaps that won't get nominated even though it has done over $1 billion at the box office. there needs to be another category where we can make sure that black panther will be recognised. that is condescending to black panther. it almost puts a kids table oscar. one last thing i would like to say is you look at some of the top ten grossing films over the decade and you adjust for inflation, nine of those top ten films including gone with the wind, et and jaws were all nominated for oscars. this is something a bit more recent where it seems the oscars are dominated by small outhouse films. let's remember last year dunkirk was on there and so was get out. what has not been nominated that in your opinion should have got on there? a lot of people thought last year wonder woman should have got on there. terrible reviews. not in the us! there has also been the move in the hollywood industry in the past two decades making films catering for teenagers or segments of the

was a real black panther.er then husband on the land from the fbi. first of all they did all the good work at the breakfast programs and you have to remember there were community programs that the black panthers did. people think of them with their beret and leather jacket and things like that and forget about the programs they did. kathleen is magnificent. she came back from i think four years in exile. they had two children abroad. part of her background is that she grew up in tuskegee, alabama. her father was an agricultural specialists sent abroad when she was very young u.s. aid program and so she spent a bit of time in countries that had people of color as leaders so she said white supremacy never had a chance with her. it was over before it even started, so she came back and graduated summa cum laude undergraduate from law school and then clerked for a very brave federal district judge who would hire a black panther. it's interesting several women said to me is she still as gorgeous as she once was and

folks might say here, is this the asian "black panther." is this the big fat asian wedding?could finish in the top 20 all-time grossing romantic comedies maybe. but critics say hang on to their stingray somball. it says it frames characters in white norms. where are the south asupians? asup asians are not all rich, not there. let's bring in our executive producer, and an actress and we also have an espn anchor. let's start with this, you were writing for the undefeated and one of the questions was is this the asian "black panther." >> clearly the question is no. different genres and messages, but why i wanted to make that connection is the film itself represents a community that has not had a movie since joy club. this asian-american audience has been craving the content and where it does become similar to "black panther," because i spoke with kim jung, they are all so accustomed to being the one asian, the one sidekick, and for ones they were altogether, all of these asian americans in a film in which they were not -- the sidekick character, the one token character. >> ju >

"get out," "black panther."rstand from chadwick boseman himself that you, in some way, are actually responsible for him being black panther. >> am i? >> stephen: yeah, he said-- >> oh, because i paid for him to go to school? >> stephen: okay, that's it. how did you-- i like the, "oh, yeah, because i paid for chadwick boseman to go to school?" ( laughter ) i think we would call that "buryihe so, how did that come about? why did you pay for him to go to school, and how did you know him? >> i didn't know him. phylicia rashad-- i'm going to screw this story up-- but, phylicia rashad was helping kids, and she called different people and she called me. and i said, "yeah, i'll sponsor whoever." and she said, "well, you're sponsoring--" or he called to thank me. that's how i found out it was him. "you're sponsoring this kid, some chadwick boseman guy." i said, "yeah, okay, chad, i want my money back." ( laughter ) so, true story, i went to the premiere for "black panther" here in new york, and i saw ryan coogler and cha

that success is coming on the heels of black panther setting records with its majority black ensemble underrepresented group wondering when they will get their moment, latinos. joining us now is a bloomberg reporter. your story highlights what a missed opportunity it is for hollywood not to pay attention to this one group. hispanics really drive the revenue for hollywood studios. >> it has been known for a while they are a huge consumer of entertainment and hispanics and latinos in the are nearly a quarter of all ticket sales in 2017. that is well beyond the proportion of representation. asian americans last year, one of the first years the motion picture association of america started tracking specifically asians in terms of moviegoing, they attended the movies at a much higher per capita attendance than any other group. while asians by the most tickets, they buy them at a rate below the representation. at representation of latinos or asians or african-americans on the screen or behind the camera in the ranks of hollywood, they are almost invisible. caroline: we are starting to see r

i realized how complicit it and s really wasn't something that been deadly to those black panther party'smembers in the house. that is all there was to it so i left to go to howard university to start a master's program in history and then for the last 3l years that is basically what i've been doing. they've already done it from an activist perspective.riting tt o the kind of work that i do comes out of that experience in memphis and rodney will talk a little bit later but that is how we got to know each other. he was he was 16 when i first met him so i have all of that in my head. i go back to them in this everyt couple of years at least. when i go there i have all of that in my memory and this time instead of seeing a if you are stopped by the police you regret it they would have stopped believing that you were so-called white come it was bad. and i it was dangerous. anything could happen. now the police force is majority black. a lot of women and latinos. a hasn't solved all thel the pt problems, but among the many cities that haieves. this bruta, then this isn't at the top of the list

movement you remember the black panthers from the one nine hundred sixty s. created to protest about police brutality against black men and women well there is a new movement and we spoke to the chief of staff who said that he was pleased with the turnout but we've been pleased if something else had happened here it would have pleased me to have them turned down the permits and it would have pleased us not to go and see racist get accommodation a full of fleet of policeman of taxpayers' dollars for someone who's a cold blooded races does a poor isn't cool that deter the moral fabric of the society they were determined not to let the old right have their day in the capital they were determined not to let their voices be heard to draw in the moat to let them know there were many more of them than the where of the people on the other side of the fence and i think many people who are leaving this part will know i think that their mission was accomplished. let's move on to other news now in five countries on the shores of the world's largest body of water have fin

movement now you remember the black panther movement actually started back in the one nine hundred sixty s. it was a political movement to protest police brutality against black men and women it has reemerged in the last couple of years now i spoke to one of their senior people their chief of staff nationally and he told me what he thought about the big turnout here at farragut square it would have pleased me to have them turned down the permits and it would have pleased us not to go and see races get accommodation the full of fleet of policeman of taxpayers' dollars being for someone who's a cold blooded races does a poor isn't cool that deter the moral fabric of the societies or. well i can tell you that the group that where the so called all right the white supremacists they were brought in by the police but interestingly enough i saw one clash where a couple of people who were over usually heading to the rally somehow got lost got mr erected and found themselves in the midst of all the protesters now suddenly what we saw was a group from peace d.c. surrounding them and trying to lead

if you're a black panther and you get nominated for most nominated film but not best picture, what doesclass kind of win win. >> they met with the academy in a come to jesus meeting. the executives walked through the lousy ratings, identifying moments during the show that prompted viewers to stop watching and suggested fixes including adding the new popular film category. race issues have overshadowed the oscars for years nchl 2015 and 2016, all nominees in the major acting categories were white branded with the #option sc! -- oscarsowhite. >> the whitest -- i mean brightest. >> otherwise known as the white academy awards. >> this suspect the first time they've responded to contract sichl. the academy doubled the number of nominees in that category from five to ten to make room for more films. >> i feel that in some way it got nominated for most popular, not the best. >> it doesn't seem like enough even though they're trying not to make it so. >>> researchers say that some friendships can be toxic to your marriage. ahead, some advice >>> ahead, an extraordinary story of how two children

yeah i agree with that with that like people were thinking that black panther the movie was all they could be for our people of africa and the santo are black are people that are black but everybody from a variety of cultures love that movie like i remember seeing at my almost started around dance in the theater going on i thought i saw a lot of my own culture in that movie and the importance of our own stuff and so i believe that level yet any representation any group is about isn't just a default page and gazed at like something that we all love i mean people that just because the picture is one of the time to fly it's what i am it's open to people who so talented and then fuse asked it is do you leave jeffery and song or thank you for being part of the stream today thank you rick you will end on you tube with january who says there are so many superheroes in our communities that are on song and comics are how we hope for youth to imagine new heroes from a cultural base thank you so much for watching we will see you next time take everybody. travel off to. the tranquil gorgeous. for

"black panther" is a great momentous film. the story an genre are very, very different. >> on the other side, wesley, maybe it's about the energy, right, and the excitement about the movie, about it being transnational, global really in the feeling and is the appetite for seeing such a movie in many different places and the story line it exhibits? >> yes. there was an enormous wager taken by a major hollywood studio in casting an all-asian movie. hasn't been done in 25 years. but the culture has changed. there was plenty of reason thus all right exceeded all expectations. >> obviously, i have some interest in it, being an asian-american. i'm like hold on a second, could it crack that magical 30 million over the weekend? i think the number we're looking at is $32 million. will it break that, do you think? >> i think people are going to see this movie and bringing along their family and friends. and the book, there are a lot of people talking to kevin kwaun, who are not asian at all and are really excited to see this movie come

and something that could've been deadly to those black panther party members in the house.nd then for the last 30 years let's see what's happening here. the kind of work that i do in the writing that i do that's how we got in to know each other. he was 60 when i first met him. every couple of years at least i've all that in my memory instead of seeing police probably around. if they are stopped by the police you regret it. even if you were white or so-called white. it was bad. it was dangerous. and if you're black anything could happen. now the police force is majority black. that is all, it's not solved all the problems but among the many cities. memphis is not at the top of the list by any means. as far as that goes. they are unionized. they have a sense of things. so there is that were to go from here. remembering kane 50 years later. and that was the theme for the whole week. after the? where do we go from here. it was the phrase chaos or community. people have the same thought on their mind. about the direction of the country. and that's what i will talk about in a bit

first there was black panther, now there s children of blood and bone.t in the orisha trilogy, based on the yoruba religion, and it‘s been so successful tomi was offered a movie deal before the book was even released. debula kemola from bbc africa‘s whats new met tomi while she was on her uk book tour. i try not to think of her, but when idoi i try not to think of her, but when i do i think of rice. when mother was around, the heart always smelt of it. i think of how her dark skin glowed like the summer sun, the way her white hair first". glowed like the summer sun, the way her white hairfirst". and an untamed crown that breathed and fried. tomi adeyemi has onlyjust turned 25 and she‘s already published a bestselling novel. with two more sequels and a movie adaptation on the way. children of blood and bone is set in the fictional land of orisha in west africa and is based on the traditional yoruba novel. teenagers fightan traditional yoruba novel. teenagers fight an evil king to bring back the magic of their ancestors. i asked what inspired the book? the

like, we can nowjust think of black panther.ulture. yes, when they use magic, they're speaking their language. but those are more of the details. it's more of the fact that you pick up this book and you see a magical, dark—skinned black girl on the cover. when you open the pages, you see blacks of all shades on the cover. you see us celebrated as the hero. you see us in epic battles. you see us get these big, twisty romances. we have the story for all of us to celebrate. tomi didn't only want to celebrate her yoruba culture and dark—skinned heroes in the novel. she also gave the lead role to girls. i don't know any women who aren't strong. you know, it was never going to not be about strong females, because that's so we have in my life, that's who inspires me, and that's someone too who i want to empower. i want to empower young girls around the world, and even older girls around the world, to feel like the characters. but a good story is for everyone. and i think that's what's special about this book is, like, regardless of age

the studio has been praised for the way it's dealt with issues like diversity in films like black pantherhi, everybody, welcome to the set ofjungle cruise. but the movie, which also stars emily blunt, is facing controversy over how her character's brother has reportedly been cast. class, i've got good news and bad news, what do you want? the bad news. it's not really that jack whitehall, best known for his stand—up act and the tv comedy bad education, has been cast. it's that according to a newspaper report his character is a gay man, with many people saying they are upset that a gay actor wasn't picked for the role. it's great that disney has got a gay role like this in one of their big films. but there are so many gay actors who could have played the role that it seems a missed opportunity. lgbt people are underrepresented in the media and in films, so disney had an opportunity here to improve that representation by having a talented gay actor that can embrace the role and play something like this in the film. neitherjack whitehall nor disney have confirmed the character's sexuality, bu

king had problems with the black panthers. >> do you know who the black panthers had a problem with?s a history of helping us figure out how to deal with difficult discussions or changes in our time. >> can we just close up shop a little bit? male privilege is leaking all over the place. >> fearlessness of comedians bringing up subject matter we're afraid to talk about is wonderful conduit to starting a conversation. >> get yourself up and -- >> i don't want to freak you out but i think i may be the voice of my generation. or at least a voice. of a generation. >> there's a number of amazingly great unique voiced shows on tv right now. they are standing apart from the wave of stuff that's being thrown at us all the time. >> the guy said this was their best selling thing, by far, okay? i'm just trying to improve our sex lives. >> okay, here's an idea. out about you stop rubbing your eye every time you shove your junk in me. >> what? >> yeah. you're always like -- it's distracting. >> now we're in this weird world where there's demand that people take chances. no one wants generic stuff

this is a reference to black panther which had many black peoplee crazy rich asians has not been met with the same celebration. i pulled uppthis reviewwfrom singapore that calls it frustrated -- calls it frustrating. the main criticism is that the film shows only singaporeans of chinese descent. the movie does point out that the tourism board of singapore is likely to be happy about that. >> finally we were alking about somemetoo movement, but have been offering a solution. a feminist camp. alison: this isqñññ%%iii##qeqee micah walter-range: the exciting thing for me about nanosats is that you can build them with relativel
