african-americans lag sharply behind their white americans in educational attainment as well. so it is a consistent theme that we hear, whether it is poverty, education, wealth job opportunities, that these communities lag behind. we need a strong nation, irrespective of what community you live in. and here in congress and at the c.b.c. we fight every day to make sure that all americans have an equal opportunity to prosper in this nation. and i see we've been very fortunate to be joined by several of our colleagues and so, madam co-anchor, i will yield back to you in order to acknowledge our members of the caucus that have joined us. ms. kelly: thank you. it is my pleasure to introduce congresswoman from oakland, congresswoman barbara lee, who always has great things to share with us. thank you. ms. lee: thank you very much. first, let me thank you, congresswoman kelly, and congressman payne for hosting this special order. both of you your leadership is so is important -- both of your leadership is so important for these critical conclusion discussions. we're trying -- critica

he was african-american or part african-american, and he typically passed for white so that he couldt of go undercover with the kkk and do undercover work and prevent lynchings. so this is sort of a full circle moment for many people in the civil rights movement that i have spoken to, and many people are talking about walter white and this sort of passing that's going on. it's just fascinating. >> look, i think we can all agree that you don't need to be black to speak out for african-american community in support of the african-american -- african-american causes just as much as you don't need to be gay to speak out for gay rights. you don't need to be a woman to speak out for women's rights. i don't think anyone is suggesting that, but the fact that the lengths this person seems to have gone to misrepresent who she is and risen to prominence in the community in that situation, she's now under investigation by the city because of it because she may very likely lied on her application. so clearly she could be in trouble for this, right? >> that's right. to be part of this sort of i th

speaker, the current unemployment rate for african-americans is 9.6%. this is nearly twice the 4.7% unemployment rate for white americans. although the national unemployment rate has continued to decline since 2008, a significant race gap still remains. african-americans are almost three times more likely to live in poverty than white americans. african-americans like all americans, want economic mobility. access to high wages. the ability to support themselves and their families in a middle class lifestyle while earning wages to allow for the accumulation of wealth. to move forward in creating economic opportunities in the african-american community we must remain focused. focused as the members of the congressional black caucus are on how we can bridge the divide in our society and how we can bring our nation close toringt. it is well established in the fact that students of color face harsher punishments in school than their white peers, leading to a higher number of youth of color in detention suspension, and even being expelled. african-american stu

i deal with both african-americans. i deal with caucasians.ealing only on a daily basis -- not only -- with police chiefs from the community, but mayors, town council members, city managers, people who lead civic organizations. the life's blood of our organization is fund raising. what runs the national association for the advancement of colored people are benjamin franklins. that keeps things going. >> fund raising is critical, obviously. >> critical. >> what more do you want to say? i do think this is complex. >> what he just said is it. using his white male privilege to help the american project, right? so that's what she could have done. she could have used her privilege to help get structural racism and help black women in a real way. we can't be white. what he articulated is really what we have been trying to get at. how you can be white and still work in social justice is clear. >> charles, she was hired as a black woman to teach african studies. >> there are a lot of white processors, so you can do that work. the whole idea of the naac

the entire city, not just the african-american community. of course, south carolina is the site of a lot of politics. a lot of people campaign in south carolina. hillary clinton was in charleston yesterday. jeb bush was due to hold a meeting down the street from the church. the place where he was to hold the campaign event is now the command center for police there. jeb bush has canceled his event in south carolina today. >> wednesday night bible study and prayer meetings are routine. a safe middle of the week way to recharge as you go on with your lives. these people were in this conference room in this church together worshipping and recharging about their religion. this early 20s sandy blond hair man. they are still looking for this man who killed nine people. more breaking news coverage next. >>> breaking news this morning in charleston, south carolina. police are searching for a gunman who opened fire inside an african-american church killing nine people there. the city's police chief says he considers this a hate crime. right now, law

obviously for him to pick an african-american church and shoot african-american members, there's somethingeird and bad and hateful going on in his mind. >> we do not know why roof opened fire in this historic church. there seemed to be mounting evidence he was motivated by racism. police in shelby north carolina got a call around 11 a.m. on thursday about a possible sighting of the suspect. a floirs on her way to work said she recognized roof's car and his hair cut. >> something told me, i'm telling you divine intervention. god had me where i needed to be. i am not telling you i wasn't afraid. i was scared. i was scared. you know, but i kept saying, lord you know if i can just get there and do it safely. i wasn't going to try to put myself or anyone else in danger. if i can do it safely and get his tag number. >> now this entire city fair to say the state and country. people are struggling with what happened here in this devastating loss. everyone from residents to clergy to politicians, they are all wondering how this could have happened. >> the accused killer in the charleston church mas

if i was an african american woman, my mom, bhofs a biracial african american woman would be offendedy the things she has the nerve and audacity to say. believe me, the pain and all the years it took to earn the right to wear that hair, she hant earned them. and, so, trooitfully, if she wants to support, if she wants to be supportive, she wants to embrace other ethnicities and say i appreciate them, i applaud them, i am e nappered by them. but don't lie like she said in the news earl eiier. >> but, don, look at this right now. spend three weeks in ireland or scotland, straighten that hair, she can walk back here and deny that she ever pretended to be this. that's the problem that everybody is looking at. stop lying. if she had said originally, i'm a caucasian woman, i really identified so much with the african american community, i would like to embrace that look, but i'm caucasian, i don't think anybody would complain. >> this goes back to a very otherly age with myself identifying as a black experience as a young child. >> when did it start? >> i would say about five years old. >> y

my long -- maybe not profound, but to me interesting question about the influence of african-americans on white americans, over all these hundreds of years and how it has affected our culture. we're different than europeans. because i think this experience among us, between us, has been very powerful. and somebody is going to write something brilliant about this some day. it's not just hip hop music or jazz even or anything like that. it's what's more profound, i think. >> well, yeah, because african-americans are in the bedrock of this nation. >> right. >> that's why. but that's why i think rachel dolezal, though, takes that to an extreme in her appearance. but, again, i keep going back to her fabrication of her own history, her own story is what thrusts her into the national conversation. if she is just -- if she had just done everything she's done with the exception of lying about her history, with wouldn't even know her name. >> rachel dolezal's interview is coming next next with all in with chris hayes. i'm going to talk about donald trump as a presidential candidate, as well. you

african american we can't tell you the data is inaccurate. it should go to make sure we have accurate data to come before this board to see hiring police is going to be better to all of san francisco at at same time for black and terri people if we have incarceration -- (speaking off the mic) we wouldn't be having this conservation. this should be shut down. >> thank you.

if there is one thing white southerners agree on, they don't want the african-american to have jobs. that is a bird of a different feather. a lot >> of americans-- >> a lot of americans have the view with the emphasis of what happens down to richmond after gettysburg. it would suggest the possibility of a confederate victory. i always focus my attention on the real losers. i bring my attention to the other side of the appellation chains -- appalechian trains. i don't see any way the confederacy could have won the american civil war by any military effort. you agree with that assessment. it just seems like the west is understudied and not fully appreciated in our assessment of how the war turned out the way it did. mr. beckenbaugh: god bless the unions out west. they worked as routes. the mississippi flows from north to south. you have the tennessee river providing good routes. in the east, the rivers are blocking the way south. jogger free did help the north. that is clearly -- geography did help the north. they did not have the resources -- they sell to not have the resources. there

same is true of other films with african-american leaders. nothing specific to the african-american experience that whites, germans, foreigners can't get what the film is about. i work very, very hard to try to make films that are not culturally or ethnically exclusionary. i want to make films that are inclusionary and can be enjoyed by a wide audience. >> and lucius, and -- >> for inspiring filmmakers, advice, never give up. >> end of the day, hollywood is a numbers business, and if you can -- you can be making the greatest film. if they're not resonating, people aren't connecting, you'll find just continue to make films. i've made films with commercial success and am proud of that. >> you want to marry my sister, show me you're worthy of her. >> how am i supposed to do that? >> i'm going to take you on a ride along. >> i want to continue to raise the bar in terms of the quality level of the films i'm making. >> strictly a business relationship. not buying a new friend. you're hiring a best man. what you doing? >> sorry. i got really excited

with african-americans, we don't typically check id at the door.ple can look a variety of different ways and still be considered part of the community. for someone who has spent as much time around black people as ms rachel dolezal has, she knows there is a painful history around this and why people do not raise questions. in my own family, there are people who are nearly white and people who are very dark. we all come from the same parentage. that happens in black families. for her to take advantage of that and use that as a means by which people would not second guess her identity, i thought that was particularly pernicious and cynical. juan: you mentioned your surprise over the firestorm this has created. isn't there a lot of commentary about how the way our society deals with issues of race? it is almost an individual spectacle and said of the institutional manifestations. in a sticker case, there is such a fixation. there are reports today that she is involved with negotiations to have a reality show as a result of the huge attention the media

african american and 54% are african american and 62% of the youth that are arrested are african american. we must remember that. we could not forget that. when we talk about the demanding part, that is in a we need to demand and we are here to demand justice. in regard to data collection, we are here to demand justice in regard to texting scandal and all the other scandal that have rocked the criminal justice system in san francisco. if we don't get to the root cause of these issues, these cultures that have been allowed to permeate will continue. that's why when they wrote the report on racial profiling and wrote the report about the incarceration of black men in san francisco, this has not been addressed. we are asking that you do that. the reason that it's so important is that 100 years from now, in 2115, when your great grandchildren are driving across that bay bridge. what will the sign say? will it say black genocide or will it say black lives matter. we took that issue back. >> the -- thank you for being here deputy chief alley. >>> thank you for having me here. my name is ally, c

the first family in the white house, african-american and african-american attorney general secretaryll have major problems involving race in this country. what's it going to take to fix it? >> well what it will take is for us to make a serious and ongoing long-standing commitment to address this form of bias. that means a number of things. one, fundamentally, morally speaking we have to address the atmosphere in which this crime was created. we have a young man wearing not the flag of south africa under nelson mandela but the flag of apartheid, south africa and the flag of rhodesia wearing a -- i should say driving a car with a con fed rad flag emblem on it. the point being here this crime was birthed in racial animus. we have to address that. i believe now is the time for us to look at the tools that the justice department has in terms of addressing crimes like this. three, we have to organize at the ground and grass-roots level to respond to challenges like this. we're our houses of faith and the local naacp to respond after the crisis. we have to engage our houses of faith and par
