it sounds that the south african government is siding with the african union. do you agree? >> absolutely. led to a decision this was a decision that the au not only supports but in fact encouraged. and so south africa in many ways decided to align itself with the african union on this and not with the international criminal court. >> an authority that anyplace now in african as a continent where bashir can no longer go or is he safe right across the continent? >> well, the sense this is something that we have to take is if and when it comes. he has traveled to a number of member-states to the african union, as well as to the icc. at the same time several meetings have been moved to zambia an international conference to the great lakes region was moved because zambia is a state party and so not help bashir. moved to malawi after malawi refused to invite ba sthoir attend. there are some countries where he's unlikely to be able to travel. that being said, with the recent au position and the south african be be position, be thoughts may be changing. >> thank you for joining us

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

host: you are listening to south african officials there including the south african sports minister giving a press conference in johannesburg linked of course to those fifa corruption allegations that happen spiraling around the world since last week. south africa again they are denying that it can't -- denying that it payment was made to fifa vice president jack warner during south africa's successful bid for the 2010 world cup. let's bring our cell phone and correspondent. aisha? aisha: fikile mbalula is sticking to his guns. he is saying this was not a bribe, it was money always intended to go there, they even paid a trip by the former president who said that south africa winning the 2010 world cup with never intended only to benefit south africa, but it success was meant to benefit the african continent as well as the african diaspora, and they had a payment to the caribbean football association to benefit that association and a development fund, so mr. bmbalula saying this was a payment always meaning to go to the football association, and it was definitely not a bribe by the s

the african-american worker or the individual within the african-american community that is desperately trying to seek work -- and we are suffering from double-digit unemployment in this recovery when other communities seem to have been able to get back on track and our unemployment numbers are still higher than the collective number during the great recession, that's a scandal. we should all have a problem with that. but the debt -- deck is generally stacked against the american worker since the early 1970's. the productivity has increased in excess of 2775%. american workers have been more productive over the last 40-plus years. and during that same time period wages have increased less than 10%. they have remained stagnant and the deck is stacked. the increased productivity has gone to the privileged few and we have seen it continue during this recovery where stock market is way up, c.e.o. compensation is way up but people in the african-american community and others, are still struggling to be able to recover from the devastating impact that the collapse of the economy had on our co

given the higher rates of unemployment in the african-american communities, it is no surprise that african-american communities also have lower incomes and less wealth. and african-americans are more likely to live in staying poverty. according to the april joint economic committee report, the median income of an african-american household is only $34,600, almost $24,000 less than white households in this country. african-americans are almost three times more likely to live in poverty than white americans. and african-american households have 13 times less wealth than white households. in my state of new jersey, the statistics are equally as grim. in new jersey the poverty rate for african-americans hovers at 22% and is three times that of white americans at 6.6%. the unemployment rate for african-americans is 11.1% and that is twice that of white americans at 5.5%. according to the u.s. census bureau, it estimates in new jersey, the 10th congressional district, the unemployment rate for african-americans is 19.1%. which was 2.5 times that of white americans at 7.5%. these glaring disparities betra

dollar and the south african money. so i think this is -- to quote the reserve bank governor it's almost a mopping up of the old notes. it is fascinating, for example, that 35 quadrillion zimbabwe dollars will get you 1 usd. >> it sounds absurd. you mentioned the current has already died in 2009. so why do this at all? >> according to the reserve bank governor, they are sort of trying to have one legal kind of system in the country so effectively they're saying we had two systems in play and this is just more or less trying to make the points that this is the one system that is in place. i need to make the point that people in zimbabwe have a problem with change and because they don't have coins to give out change so they introduced $500 million of foreign coin to use as change. everyone was talking about the zim dollar coming back or making, you know an appearance and it kind -- so you could kind of look at this as a way of trying to reassure people and say, you know what the zim dollar is not coming back. the u.s. dol

be able to hand over any africans to the ike. does it mean that any african nation wouldn't be prepared to arrest bashir and he will arrest be able to escape arrest? >> i think the world is getting smaller and smaller for bashir. let's keep in mind a lot of these african union states are part of the international criminal court, 34 of them. keep in mind six of the eight case he involving africans in front of the international criminal court were actually referred by those african states themselves to the international criminal court. so there actually is a lot of support for the international criminal court as well and when we talk about africans and whether it's antiafrican or whatever, what about the.200,000 people that have died in darfur, and the international criminal court believes that bashir is responsible for those deaths. >> let's remind folks what it is that bashir is accused of. >> well the indictment is for genocide crimes against humanity in the early 2000s in an estimated 200,000 have died, that war is still going

many of them were of african descent. there were a lot of afro mexican settlers in this part of mexico. what i have come to understand is this is a part of the afro mexican moving into these far regions away from the big cities to escape some of the racism that took place there. we know there were lots of free blacks in the colonial time when slavery was happening. those people went on to found towns and settle areas in these -- in this region. this is an interesting part of the equation. in terms of the pico family, we know that santiago delacruz was on that expedition. his wife maria, was there. she is listed in the books of the melodic -- mulatta a caste term that the spaniards used. this is supposed to signify somebody of african descent, who mary and their offering -- offspring would be blotto as well. -- mullata as well. they settled all the way up to the bay area. jose maria ego was pico's father. he was a soldier in the mission system. as you can imagine, there are very few occupations. there are farmworkers, sold

this is 18 african blood -- 1/8th african blood. then that albino grows up and marries an espanol. the caste term for this means to turn around. this is similar to the one drop rule in american history. in which if you have any african blood in your lineage, it sticks with you. as you can see, this person of 1/6 african ancestry is painted a little darker. to exemplify that issue. the next slide is even a more obvious version of that. completely different physically than the parents. this is, again to show you what , that lineage will get you in the end. so this incredibly racist system stuck with people. you can imagine the psychological impact that it had on individuals. the colonial period in mexico lasted 300 years from 1521 until longer than mexico has been a 1821. country today. you can imagine, the formation of race and mexican society really took place during a 300 year period. imagine century after century, decade after decade, of hearing and learning these types of lessons in society. it makes you want to hide who you are, perhaps. look at what happens if the indian and t
