president that's popular with african-americans and african-americans are strategicically located and there is a republican congressional leadership that's been attacking prez obama almost from the moment he took office. so there are considerable number of similarities between 1998 and 2010. the question is whether or not black voters turn-out if they turn-out, the democratic prospects are going to be a lot better than if african-americans do not turn-out. finally a word about african-american candidates running for office. there's 12 black candidates running for statewide office. all of them democrats. three senate candidates. a gub in the to recall candidat 50% for the all-time high for republicans. two last thing about black candidates i especially wanted to mention. i do a lot of racially voting analysis. there's only one member of the congressional cacusus that's runs this year. on average 16 members of the black cob aggression the caucus were running. this years there one. there's two other black candidates running unopposed. fredericka and tim scott who's going to be elected in

african-american -- african-american unemployment rate has always been higher than the [ inaudible unemployment rate. that's never changed. >> to be fair, the unemployment rate is higher in the black community, the graduate unemployment rate for college graduates among blacks is even higher and here's the other thing you talk about health care, you have corporations and -- that are talking about waivers or they'll have to take people off their health care plans. well, that affects disproportionately the black community. you're right, he's the president of the united states. black population is 12% of the country. so, if 97% of them voted for barack obama and they're not seeing the results whether it's fair or unfair, they're not seeing results in 20 months, they're going to have serious concerns. >> are you suggesting that black people are going to vote against democratic party? >> there are over a dozen black conservatives running in races this year. they're also going to get an amount of the vote. we have a split in the black community in some respects, the urban, we have the suburban. the su

what haps was the people met resistance from african-americans, the small group of african-americans who were there already, who were concerned about their own tenuous state and other groups that might be competing with them. they met so much resistance that it's a wonder that they survived. they distribute people who migrated were more likely to be married than the people who were in the north already. they were more likely to be raising their children in two-parent households. all these things are only recently being discovered as sociologists and others look at the facts from the census data. a lot new is coming out about them. tavis: i started this conversation by doing what i could in two seconds to give you i think the props that you deserve, what you've done with this -- what will be a classic and historic text. but i don't want people to think i was being hyperbolic. let me ask it as a question. tell me, situate for me this migration in the making, mat touring of america -- the maturing of america. >> it is hard to separate out the legacy of this great migration because it's

african-americans and asian- americans. do you novak when the agent exclusion act, the chinese exclusion act was before congress in 1870, the first national leader to speak out against that was frederick douglass. the same man who fought against slavery. do you know that when the chinese exclusion act was voted on in congress, there was one black senator named blanche bruce, the only african-american in the u.s. senate, voted against it. similarly, we work side-by-side for semel -- civil rights and improve public education. in '86, and laundry owner sued the san francisco board of supervisors for a racially discriminatory law, and it brought equal protection to minorities, and that overturned the 1857 dread scott case, which held that minorities were not protected by the u.s. constitution. we have the landmark case of brown harris is board of education, 1954, to thank for equality in education. -- brown v. board of education. seven years later, the chinese community here worked shoulder to shoulder with the african- america

african-americans, particularly african-american women, are avid readers and book-buyers, and they are a hugely sought-after demographic for publishers. so i don't think that necessarily says that black folks aren't reading. may have more to do with austin. i don't know. i'm glad everybody who is here is here. >> thank you.

>> well, we have 14 great african-american women in the congressional black caucus. these women are the boldest and the most brilliant members of congress. they're incred nl. i am telling you, we bring our unique perspective to public policy. for example, i was on public assistance. i raised two children as a single mom. and we have to fight these battles such as cutting food stamps, such as cutting the safety net, and many of us who are african-american women really get it. we know what that's about. so we have to use our experience and our understanding of impacts of budget cuts and of doing things that would be terrible for people on our deliberations and our decision making. but we still have to face a lot of the stuff that everyone faces, all black women face. so wet can't forget, and i don't think any woman in the congressional black caucus has forgotten from where they came and who they are, and so, you know, i have to take that into my decision making whenever i cast these votes. >> powerful words. congresswoman, thank you. it's been a pleasure to meet you. >

that said, we have an african-american in the white house.e have a president who is being attacked 24/7. from many different angles. and you know, there is power to imagery. so you know, to the extent that this portrayal for better or worse can maybe you know, offset some of that, who knows. >> how much of what's going on in d.c. plays into what you all think about when you get in the creative, in the creative offerses and you're thinking about plots and characters and things like that in. >> it's a good question. i think that shows that work the best reflect real life. i think of "law & order" those episodes are ripped from the headlines. there are elements in our show that you will see that will resonate to us, because it is our reality. >> maybe you and i should sit down and talk, face to face, just you and me. >> no. there's been enough talk. >> what do you want? >> release the detainees or this time people will die. >> this show called "the event" is shrouded in secrecy. you know, that a lot i cannot say about the story points. >> just a

>> like most -- not like most, but like a lot of people, african-americans lived in chicago, detroit,k, summertime your parents sent you down south. so many summers it was split up. it was spent half with my father's mother which is in snow, alabama and the other was spent in atlanta, georgia with my mother's mother, and she's the one that put me through morehouse and the nyu graduate film school. she lived to be 100 years old and she's an art teacher. she taught art for 50 years and the south and for 58 she never had one white student because of segregation, and a lot of white students missed out on a great teacher. anyway, she saved her social security checks for 50 years and used that money to send her grandchildren to college. so since i was the oldest i had first dibs. >> when you read about spike lee often in the media, it is said the lead tag line controversial. do you accept that and do you buy that? >> i think that people are very lazy today. journalists, so instead of trying to be creative or do their job, it's easy to use a one-word label to define one person. how can you u

telling african-american voters, don't make me look bad. karen travers, abc news, washington. >>> one final political note this morning. a top republican is questioning whether sarah palin has what it takes to be president. karl rove took issue with palin's upcoming reality show, "sarah palin's alaska," saying it may contribute to a tense that she is not presidential material. palin says in a clip, i would rather be doing this than in some stuffy, old political office. end quote. >>> an american man is in custody this morning, accused of plotting to blowup subway station near the pentagon. farooq thought he was arts pating in an al qaeda plot. but it w >>sting. >>> in pakistan, another u.s. drone attack is being blamed for killing seven more suspected militants. intelligence officials say the unmanned planes targeted a house in north waziristan near the afghan border. just yesterday, two similar attacks claimed the lives of seven alleged militants in the same area. >>> and travelers in france are coping with another day of disruptions, afte

african americans.frican americans. "my favorite politicians ran for governor -- one of my favorite politicians ran for governor against david duke. year -- i really audit yeaodd do not mean like a midterm election, i mean a year that ended in an odd number. african-american turnout was like 80%. i think it might be worth it to african-americans to consider that there are people up there who would most definitely be hostile to them. >> it may not be enough in 2010 to make a huge difference, but i just want to emphasize how bad potentially this is for republicans in a presidential year. the tea party has basically branded the republican party as the tea party party. a lot of people do may not show upper this -- a lot of people who may not show up this time are likely to show up in 2012. there is a distinct racist party in the tea party. they are way more annoying and more extreme than most of america. it is going to be hard for them to shake that. republicans are going to do well and the tea party is goi

when you stack the two sides up, african-americans go into the voting booth and say, you know what?ats who have may interest at heart. when you have a candidate like rand paul running for senate in kentucky saying i think we should be reconsidering perhaps the civil rights law, that sends a message to african-americans they're not for me. >> remember that under ken mehlman at the rnc, they were trying to make inroads with african-americans and katrina killed that, unfortunately. this is a good thing for the black community because there is a growing feeling in the black community their votes, our votes, are taken for granted by democrats because the assumption is, where else are they going to go? competition for our vote is a good thing. the other thing if you talk to members of the congressional black caucus, tell they'll you there are more african-americans in line waiting for their chance to run on the democratic side that sometimes you get a better chance on the republican side. >> so, ezra, we look at the numbers, president obama captured 96% of the african-american vote in 200

the african-american community knows what's at stake. unemployment rates 16.5%, unacceptable. when you look at the fact that we are to create jobs and the democrats have moved especially in the house, our job creation efforts over into the senate. the black community knows that a lot is at stake in terms of our economy and in terms of job creation. the african-american community knows what we have done -- what democrats have done in terms of education. just look at how we've increased pell grants, how we've taken the middle institutions out of the financial services institutions, out of our loans so that young people can get money. we brought in 60 million more in terms of student loans so i think the african-american community understands we've increased historically black colleges by $2.5 billion. so lots at stake, healthcare reform we did and yes, i think the black community really understands that and the black caucus is working to be sure this message is communicated. >> congresswoman lee, can you unequivocally say that if the tea p
