i'm a good friend of bennie thompson. i've known him and he has represented mississippi very well. idea that this is a black on black discussion and i have heard that word uncle tom from the time i was growing up as a kid until very recently. so it's a common use of language to in a sense downgrade somebody who is not embracing the race and i think that people have to figure out what can you say, what can't you not say? and i'm really worried that this is going to be a discussion about words. >> is it okay for the congressmen -- he said, i called him uncle tom and i'm black. is that okay? >> i don't think that it's okay because he's black. but uncle tom is real and the question is, can people use that word? if they do, they don't use it as openly as they should. they should to make it clear that there's a difference between them and some other people. and i think that makes a lot of difference about how we have a discussion about what does uncle tom actually mean? >> let's talk more about the conversations about thompson and uncle tom. is it ever okay? >> i think the thing that we
