we go now to michele alexander, the new jim crow for slavery and sharecropping and mass incarceration. what is the parallel or do you see a parallel in voter suppression and what has happened with the times and what is going on now in terms of the same kind of objectives of the right-wing and those who want to make sure black and brown people are not a part of this. >> let's look at florida, the best place to unpack this thing. prior to amendment number four which is the ballot initiative in 2018 to get rid of the permanent felony disenfranchisement in florida before that happened come in the united states there were over 6 million people who were disfranchised and could not vote because of a felony conviction. 1.7 million of them were in florida alone. 40% of black men in florida could not vote because of a felony conviction. over 20% of african-americans in general could not vote in florida because of a felony conviction. florida was going to counter in order to get the representation in congress but these were folks who could not vote so when you think about that, this is where flo

crowe enforcement michelle kingston now with more. >>you might really looking at what i think i'm looking at a porsche or freeman was walking lake merritt on tuesday. >>i stop us there for a second and i want to get a closer look when she says she saw a noose hanging from a tree later posting this photo in a video of what she encountered on social media oakland mayor libby shaft says there were reports of several nooses found on trees around the lake police say they found 5 ropes on tuesday afternoon all of which have been removed one person told police he put them up for exercise months ago the mayor says that does not excuse their torture us in terrorizing effects we have to start with the assumption that these are hate crimes. >>we cannot take these actions lightly. we have to take them seriously. and again if they're proven not to be that will then exonerate that person but that does not exonerate the fact that we cannot have symbols in our public spaces that guy. >>cole but this robot there. he said it was for a mind you i've nev

and "the new jim crow" by michelle alexander is fifth. >>> and the color of law forgotten history ofur government segregated america is also in the top ten. it's by bay area writer richard rothstein, who is joining us live right now. thank you, richard, for joining us today. >> thank you. >> so first off, tell us about your book. i know it explores the history of red lining. >> well, the book argues that the myth that we all share, but residential segregation, not only here in the bay area, but in every metropolitan area, is something we call de facto. it just happened by accident, it happened because people liked to live with each other or because of private bigotry or banks and real estate agents discriminating. what the book shows is that is largely untrue. of course, all those things happened, but the main reason that we're segregated here and everywhere else is because of very explicit government policy at the federal, state, and local levels, that was designed to ensure that african-americans and whites could not live near one another in any metropolitan area in the country. th

hierarchy the rich rule over the rest of us and the police protect the risk as michelle alexander author of the new jim crow has put it we need an effective system of crime prevention and control in our communities but that is not what the current system is this system is better designed to create crime and a perpetual class of people labeled criminals so what's the effect on adding thousands of laws to the books you end up with a load of arrests and now fact number 10 the us has the largest prison population globally that's right we are the largest prison state in the world fact number 11 police in some regards commit more crime than average citizens police down seized more from citizens via civil asset forfeiture than the amount of property stolen by street criminals in burglaries if only we had some sort of law enforcement agents who could arrive. the police. ok so police are not protecting the citizens who are they protecting well it's really more what are they protecting fact number 12 they're protecting the class hierarchy they're protecting the private property of the rich and the corporate state the

rhys weathers was appearing on stage with david michell in the 0livier nominated u psta rt crow michellhen lockdown began. this experience was similar. at that moment in time there wasn't any proper guidance available at central, for whatever reason and the person directing that scene, their reaction was, well, i'm sure you know about that, don't you? and i looked at him deadpan and i thought somebody would laugh. why with the payments stopped ? somebody would laugh. why with the payments stopped? elliott, who worked with stephen spielberg in ready player 0ne graduated from central in 2012. i'm trying to edge away from anecdotes of black, and like pain, if that is what is about, but there is a culture racism and bullying currently at central, where they assume you don't know things. now former students work together to deliver a reform plan and discuss with staff proposals. we want to hold central accountable, and we think there should be an external body that can regulate and really see if the school is matching the requirements of this document. and ensuring the students who are comin

but soon began what michelle alexander has called the new jim crow, a system of policing and mass incarceration made it so that a black man in america has a 1 in 4 chance of being incarcerated in his lifetime, according to the sentencing project estimates. martin luther king also but an emphasis on the psychological damage done. to maintain slavery and segregation there had to be an ideology of white supremacy, one that left lasting effects on both blacks and whites. here is king summing up his points. >> emancipation for the negro was really freedom to hunger, freedom to the winds and rains of heaven, it was freedom without food to eat or land to cultivate. therefore, it was freedom and famine at the same time. when white americans tell the negro to lift himself by his own bootstraps, they don't look over the legacy of slavery and segregation. i believe we ought to do all we can and seek to lift ourselves by our own bootstraps, but it's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. many negros by the thousands and millions have been left bootless as

michelle alexander, the author documented as the new jim crow. whatever you want to call it or knew wannuance you apply, they the critique that this thing we're living through that so many people are protesting against, this problem is such a problem because it is larger than individual people, which means even when the political leadership is more diverse, or when police forces are more diverse, the systemic problems don't just melt away, they can persist or deepen regardless of the individuals who are plugged into certain roles, precisely because these critiques i just mentioned, they argue that if our laws are still built on race, if our system is still fundamentally racially unfair, then the people carrying it out can be pulled and assumed into the problem. so you know, some politicians and pundits started suggesting, you may have heard this, last week and before, they started suggesting maybe it was time for the protesters to wrap up this stage, to move on to other things, to tweaking policy, going to meetings, playing an inside track. many
