andrew young. it wasn't so hard because i had sort of -- i just felt as a student of race, i've studied, you know, korean/black conflict in brooklyn. i just think i've never felt whiteness as a barrier except in the sense that we're all limited by who we are, you know? but on the other hand who we are is also gives us privileged access. so, you know, can men women? can women men? if you follow the logic of that methodology, if i really believed that was an impediment, obviously, there are impediments. on the political side, i was worried about certain people not talking to me. and there was one of the foot soldiers who i really wanted to talk to who simply said i'm tired of white people writing the story of our black lives and getting rich off it. and i said to this fellow, i said, you talk to anybody who's talked to me, it's not what i'm up to. i said, i'm not going to beg you, but i argued with him. i said, fine. but i really did feel a kind of humility with the foot soldiers because they can't protect themselves, and their story hasn't been told. willie bolden, j.t. johnson, these were people w

andrew ross sorkin. reporting on this is it hard to figure out what the net effect of bain capital was?as it destructive or constructive for american jobs? >> you know, the hardest part, now covering this industry for the past decade or more, it is very difficult to actually ascertain whether it's destructive or constructive. having said that, i think mr. romney, governor romney has made job growth part of his platform. he has put out there that he has created, as he likes to say, more jobs than president -- in the private sector than he says that president obama has created in the public sector. as a result of trying to take credit for that, he then has to answer for all of the jobs that were lost. that becomes the issue. we had mitt romney on the show this morning. and we talked about this issue. and the question becomes actually, does he deserve credit for either of them? ultimately, i give him credit for starting bain. and being a good investor. but that's what he was. he was a good investor. did he create all these jobs? i'm not so sure. did he kill all these jobs? i'm not so sure

also later, andrew sullivan, release your income tax so the people can see how you made your money. >> we know why releasing is so hard for mitt. rom nay pays a tax rate closer to 15%, and part of the reason why it's a loophole. not only legal, but pretty standard, but it doesn't feel fair and square. here's the bottom line. he was the founder and partner in bain capital. when you're a partner in a private equity firm, you get a cut of the profits you make. usually, 20%. now, stay with me because what happens here adds up to tens of billions of dollars in lost tax revenue for america. say my buddy, will, you've probably heard me talk about him. works at cnn. say he invests $5 million in bain capital. and mitt romney, as he has done, does a really good job. he invests will's money well. so a year later, will's investment doubles in value to $10 million. ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. mitt's cut, $1 million. and that money is taxed at 15%. now, the reason this is unfair is that it wasn't mitt romney's money he put at risk, which is the justification for a lower tax rate on things like dividends an capital gains. it was w
