racist to black people and then to internalize with the black on black crime. >> you tell this story of the speech that you gave as an adolescent and you deconstructed for precisely that internalization and i think it's so powerful in part because those devices are quite common in the black public sphere. so you call into question the practice that is a long-standing widespread practice but so why do you think there is such persistence? i think most of us black people think we are antiracist in some form of one way or another but we listen and we applied. >> i think it is a combination and the speech that i gave as a senior in high school and i was one of the final list so i won my school competition i was a three finalist across the country in speaking before the black people and it was anti- black ideas in particular about black youth that is the most feared in society. that they don't value education which is very prominent so that they complete keep climbing the high trees all these ideas about what was wrong if there was ever a decade in which everyone comes down on black youth

black virginians have made is doug wilder who represents political first for a black virginian. over the course of the long career, many firsts including when he won a seat on the virginia state assembly in 1969 , becoming the first black politician to do so since the 19th century. it is a remarkable achievement, given how effectively black people have been disenfranchised in virginia for much of the 20th century. one of his other first was becoming the first black governor elected by any u.s. state when wilder won the gubernatorial race in 1990. he engineered many of these victories through yielding a coalition across racial lines. wilder always said he wanted to be judged by his achievements and his position, not by the color of his skin. this was the kind of coalition building that served as a model for other politicians. including resident barack obama. virginia was instrumental in his presidential victory, first in 2008 and again in 2012. that was a moment when virginia, after decades of voting for over a book and candidates turned from red to blue and voted for a democrati

black lives, black identity, black existence. it gets moved to the center of his plays and playwriting. the pittsburgh cycle begins in -- well, it is different. he premiered with "jitney." the first play he wrote was called "jitney." it premiered in 1982. the second play he wrote was "ma rainey's black bottom." it was set in 1927 but premiered in 1984. it is an amazing play. it deals with five black musicians and one black female singer. do you guys know who big mama thorton is? have you ever heard of big mama thornton? you should look up big mama thornton. if you are hanging out listening, you might want to listen to big mama thornton. you can go back and go ma rainey -- go back and listen to ma butwill get nina simone, nina simone is kind of crossing over into mainstream. rainy is a contemporary reference. you need to go to the corner and listen to miss. she plays clarinet. you have an understanding if you go listen and talk to mr. during. --n we have joe tourneys after her, we have joe turner's "come and gone." this premiered

black cats had been thrown, murdered black cuts, strangled black cats had been thrown into the dorm where they stayed in mexico city. they expected, according to john carlos, they expected to be assassinated. and i say this in my book, when john carlos lifted his hand, he expected to be shot. he not only expected -- they not only endured that process, but it cost them thousands, millions maybe. john carlos ended up doing menial jobs. one of the athletes' wife committed suicide as a result of the impact. harry atwood, his relationship with carlos and smith broke because he did not go to the medal stand protest in mexico city. so relationship were broken. there was money that was lost. i think today, as kind of a followup to that question, that many athletes do not -- black athletes do not protest today because the black athlete of that day was less concerned about the money they made, but more concerned about the future of their culture. today, many black athletes are so in love with the income that they might lose, that is the reason, in my view, that many black athletes today do not stan

leave the impression that black people are lazy that black people are not equal and most shocking that it only shows that we haven't really learned much from a lot of sleep sleep history and colonial history and it's kind of like dressed up but they said there are many black faces and other people out in a blend to it and when we started our campaign we didn't had a lot of people and we didn't had a lot of support support from the a lot of people but recently we have seen more white people coming to the conclusion that this is actually very racist and the old daddy continues to want to get rid of racism so jerry i'm reminded i've been here for a long time at the stream and so i'm pulling up an episode from 2012 and which a member of your organization was on the show we talked about blackface for the holidays and this is the latest update to that so fast forward i was 2012 this is 2019 this from the guardian on what the updated version of words if he is going to look like he is sooty now so we asked our community what they think about that update to his origin story this is what one per

it is a black-owned, black oriented, black centered theater company in minnesota. town inhe name of the minnesota flying out of my head? is trying to say fargo, minnesota. minneapolis, that would be the name of the giant town that i cannot think of. the theater in minneapolis, minnesota. he is working with lou bellamy. august wilson gets to a point in his life where what he is writing about is the lives of black people. i want you guys to think for a couple of minutes about why that has happened. why is it significant and in what way is it significant that he is writing about the lives of black people? we talked in this class about the shift between white artists writing black voices. what does it mean? what does their voice sound like? is it authentic? what is the character's purpose? black characters were appearing in white movies. i will jump just a bit to talk about the popular culture that is influencing the way august wilson is thinking about plays and writing and the presentation of black people. i want to talk for a second thet popular culture of 1980's. in

as a black person. the book being 500 pages. i collected thousands and thousands of pages of ideas. many of which i had to sort of sit through and "how to be an antiracist". i talk about these being trash bags. i had to consume them. in order to make it legible for the reader had to consume them. at the time i was doing that, i was also caretaking my wife who had breast cancer. it was obviously, she was very young in her early 30s and we do contract the disease it at hard. but we do contract the disease that you shouldn't take contract because of your age, it's even more difficult. so obviously it was a very difficult process. caretaking for her and i in no way want to focus on my own physical health at the same time my wife had a serious illness. so obviously i did not. then a few years later, i was diagnosed it's stage iv colon cancer. friends asked me, do you think that in some ways was the effect of writing of taking in at all. but in taking all of that in to the gut, i didn't move. we never move. b

most black people do. [laughter] so please tell me where there has been a pause in our history where black people have been economically educated. where is our economic history? why is it conveniently neglected from our black history pages? so with that you learn there is a huge disconnect of information that is taken from us and there is a reason we distrust banks to put the money under the pillow. and when mlk set up never been to a more racist place they did a study and said no other book has been written like it and it is my goal among others but my main goal is to make sure this book is mandatory reading across the country for great hope you join me in that effort. thank you. >> snow to talk with the authors in the publisher. >> snow to talk with the authors in the publisher.

found landless lack family after landless -- landless black family after landless black family, prices were low, you did not make a lot, you owe me money. sharecroppers hired a white landownersue their to get a settlement. that brought this racial massacre. they thought back. they were greatly outnumbered. some of the may have been killed by their own forces. 237are that to sharecroppers and their families killed. fighting back. it was not just taking place in both county, arkansas. it was happening elsewhere. chicago experienced one of the longest episodes of anti-black collective violence. late in july in 1919. here we see a great example of resilience and also this recognition of if the united states is going to mold is foreign policy around making the world safe for democracy and going to work to do that. it needs to reform at home. a young black man drifted into the white area of lake michigan. the reason this episode of mob violence lasted so long was because organized white gangs in chicago wanted to oust black residents from neighborhoods they had moved into as they tried to ge

the black panther party as you all know is named the black panther party for self-defense.ower to the people. >> we always say an old saying that the best defense is a good offense, there is no need for it in the name of the black panther party. >> you just heard ray hewitt, the black panther minister of education directly contradict the use of the word for self- defense in the name the black panthers give themselves. according to the plainfield new jersey police department, all the statements he made were false. the incident detailed happened on a sunday afternoon july 16, 1967, not saturday afternoon as he stated. the rifles referred to were not taken from an armory nor were they grand m1 rifles. the rifles, 30 caliber carbines were stolen from a manufacturing plant. the governor of new jersey did not order the police to search for the guns. contrary to what he would have you believe, some of the guns were found. routine patrols which include white policeman have continued to operate in all the words of plainfield, the shooting incident notwithstanding. and it occurred du

to tell at least black people, white people probably weren't reading the black press. things were not written about because they were occurring in black communities that black reporters slipping into the south to cover them, they were getting the news out, those early reporters had, i think one of them, some of them would disguise themselves as preachers. put a bible under their arm. .. were not aroused the ire of white [inaudible] sheriffs who would kill them. a lot of them took portable typewriters in their clothes and pants and all of that and ambled down the street as they were taught to do as they went behind the cotton curtain to get stories. i think part of the experience of mississippi and of little rock was just showing the challenges has some of the dangers but also of the satisfaction when you have someone like meredith who succeeded in doing something so brave. >> there is a >> there's a fascinating part in the the book when you go back to the university of mississippi and ask students, several decades later if they know mr. meredith's story and they didn't

for black americans. after the civil war, black virginians and americans embrace the new opportunities. in the form of access to education, new civil rights, political participation, building new communities, starting new businesses and so forth. on one hand black lives of flourished under the new promises afforded , black people also began to suffer backlash from white establishments that wanted to reassert power and supremacy over people of color. at the same time that we see amazing strides, we also see regress in the form of distant friend and american society . we will look at a few stories that exemplify that push and pull , the session starts with that reconstruction and key legislative amendments that fundamentally shape the rights of black people in america. the 13th amendment, first in 1865, which finally definitively ended 246 years of slavery in america. it was ratified in 1868, which guaranteed citizens ship rights to former slaves and promised it would provide a due process and protection un

black comedians, black people creating black comedy for black people is a different experience than black people appearing in largely white structures as something to be laughed at. i want you guys to consider how that works. on television, you have "roseanne", "married with children," vcr's become a thing. mtv at one point in time, music television began with music. "video killed the radio star" in 1986 or somewhere around there, i was a high school student. you are all looking at me with vacant expressions like, for real? the very first song that ever played on mtv was "video killed the radio star." i can't tell you who did that song but i know that was the song. michael jackson's "thriller." think about michael jackson in the 1980's. this is how black people are represented in art. it becomes a thought that people are doing on purpose. people are really considering -- black artists, black playwrights, black songwriters, black performers -- i'm not saying that they are embracing black identity, but they are becoming critical and critically analyzing black identity in a way that is a res

leave the impression that black people are lazy that black people are not equal and most shocking that it only shows that we haven't really learned much from a lot of sleep sleep history and colonial history and it's kind of like dressed up but they said definitely blackface and other people act in a blend to it and when we started a campaign we didn't had a lot of people and we didn't had a lot of support support from the a lot of people but recently we have seen more white people coming to the conclusion that this is actually very racist and the old dirty continuous the one thing we get rid of racism so jerry i'm reminded i've been here for a long time at the stream and so i'm pulling up an episode from 2012 and which a member of your organization was on the show we talked about blackface for the holidays and this is the latest update to that so fast forward i was 2012 this is 2019 this from the guardian on what the updated version of word a thief is going to look like he is sooty now so we asked our community what they think about that update to his origin story this is what one per

by a black scholar.i think everybody now recognizes how harmful that idea is, how it justified the assault on welfare Ãb justified so many assaults in the letters part of the 20th century. ultimately i'm saying that i think that was the first recognition of it. that i could not separate the intellectual genealogy of some of these ideas but i think what was critical was realizing Ãb no matter the racial group, when a person was antiblack, when a person thought there was something wrong with black people, they spent their time intellectually and even in terms of organizations trying to civilize black people, attacked black people, attacked everything but the real problem, which was racism, which was white supremacy. that's how it literally function and that's on the ideological's perspective. and then obviously when it came to power and policy i think it is absolutely the case that black people have limited amounts of power. these are the way people particularly within white to premises society. to say tha

majority black state and reconstruction there were 20 black men elected to congress seven at one time. it is a paradox. and in 1860 there were 488,000 free black people living in the united states with three.9 million slaves of those you think they would all live north of the mason dixon line as soon as you can run away from slavery. wrong. 263,000 lived in the states where it was illegal. i am from west virginia just 20 miles from the potomac. with three sets of black people and they live 30 miles from where i was born. so in virginia until june 201863 so that when they were free they had a thousand acres of land so what do you do? they all stayed in the south the only reason why they left this out is because it had a long continuous that never went anywhere. >> i say in the book it is unlikely that plessy case would have been brought other than new orleans. because it was brought by a mixed-race group of three blacks that have been freed for 100, years. >> and they spoke french. >> so now we will start taking questions so the whole point is to learn from history and inform us where

leave the impression that black people are lazy that black people are not equal and most shocking that it only shows that we haven't really learned much from a lot of sleep sleep history and colonial history and it's kind of like dressed up but they said there are many black faces and other people act in a blend to it and when we started our campaign we didn't had a lot of people and we didn't had a lot of support support from the a lot of people but recently we have seen more white people coming to the conclusion that this is actually very racist and the old daddy continues to want to get rid of racism so jerry i'm reminded i've been here for a long time at the stream and so i'm pulling up an episode from 2012 and which a member of your organization was on the show we talked about blackface for the holidays and this is the latest update to that so fast forward i was 2012 this is 2019 this from the guardian on what the updated version of word safe heat is going to look like he is sooty now so we asked our community what they think about that update to his origin story this is what one

black citizens in the north begin caring proof of their emancipation, disturbingly similar to blacks in the south having to carry a pass. they eliminated the right of a trial by jury. slaveowners could deputize citizens to recapture freed slaves, similar to southern slave patrols. william brown concluded "we have no rights today in massachusetts." the abolitionist wendell phillips agreed. the result of senator charles sumner declaring that slavery is everywhere. there is no time to give a full account of the history of the antislavery movement, but it is worth considering the fact that many african-americans and white citizens in the north, the abolitionist movement was just about self protection as ending slavery in the south. thank you. [applause] >> hello. hello. [laughter] call and response. i want to thank the mass historical society, the museum of african-american history, and my fellow panelists for this timely and needed discussion. i'm looking to hear from the audience as well. on august 25, 1902, over 200 black bostonians met the mayor -- met the governor in the statehouse

so the broken black family. that was largely coined by a black scholar. and how that justifies the assault on black women and welfare and ultimately that was the first recognition i cannot separate that genealogy but what was critical realizing what racist ideas and that person was anti- black or they thought there was something wrong with my people to spend some time intellectually with the organizations or attack black people and everything but the real problem and how that literally function from the ideological perspective it is absolutely the case that black people have limited amounts of power is particularly in a white supremacist society. it's just not true and then to say even 100 years ago and didn't have a black person on the supreme court or so many black professors we all still have the power to resist. typically those who did not thought the problem was black people. we are working through all of that that ultimately caused me to realize that black people can be racist to and in particular to black people and internalized racism. >> beautifu

some of them would admit i wouldn't have done this if my black friend had been their only black coworker except so part of that is we need to think about you know in a country like canada that builds itself on multiculturalism and racial diversity inclusion are we actually living together in canada are we actually building intimate friendships across rate in ethnicity are we actually you know eating lunch and going to the barbecue with you know the new workmate who you know is of a different race or ethnicity because a lot of the instances that are being you know talked about now like there was a white female who was a a law student in alberta in 1700 saying they're all off showed up in blackface it and it was a certain gathering and and what was interesting to me is she said nobody complained nobody minded everybody liked it but my 1st thought was hello how many black students were at your law school in 1070 in alberta probably not probably no black professors either and probably the black people who are in the you know the institutional system i'm story to say but canada is a racist co

they had the first black colleges. they created the space in which the black church became a national institution in the center of the black community. black men held office in reconstruction at every level of government from the two first black united states senators to members of congress, state legislatures, down to sheriffs, justices of peace, school board officials, and other public servants. my estimate is that about 2000 african-american men actually held public office in the south in reconstruction. this was a revolutionary change in our political system. of course, the problems of the emancipated slaves were not simply political. they had economic problems as well, coming out of slavery with no economic wherewithal. one might say in reconstruction, the political revolution went forward with the economic one did not. revolution wasal drastic enough to inspire, as i mentioned, a wave of terrorism in the south by the ku klux klan and kindred groups designed to try to overthrow these governments. and hand-in-hand

voice for black women had and to keep black women in position of power to have the government spaces and be in the board room. so i realized, and wanted to write a book that made a black woman led organization front and center. what i recognized in doing the study, civil rights means something different, whenni you look at a black woman led organization and not only means voter registration and but it means getting food, housing, childcare and taking care of the youth, investigating people who were incarcerated, children who were put in jail during the civil rights movement. they also in addition as though studying the council, i call it a moderate organization. that you're not trying to completely change the united states government. they're interested in reforming from within. i call that a moderate r group. i believe some overlooked the council for this moderation but the moderation is what enabled a lot of amazing activity from the council, they were able to taken money from the government for instance between 1975 in 1985 the council got $1.7 million to the united states agency

black. chaplain black: let us pray.od of our weary years and silent tears, you have brought us on this providential pilgrimage. help us to keep our eyes on you and the prize. thank you for this opportunity to recognize the historical importance of the arrival of africans to the shores in 1619. lord, we are grateful for the strength you provided your ebony children, infusing them with a faith that wouldn't shrink, though pressed by many of foe. they validated the words of the eloquent poet who said, dark complexion cannot forfeit nature's claims, skin may differ but affection dwells in black and white the same. were i so tall as to reach the pole or to grasp the ocean at a span? i must be measured by my soul, the mind is the standard of the man, and i might add, the woman also. thank you, lord, for the contributions of african-americans to the greatness of this nation in these challenging and divided times. use us all to carve tunnels of hope through mountains of despair. holy god, bless and keep us, lest our feet stray

black on the planet?'s ever been in the dark and thought eh, this could be way darker. (laughter) and why are there scientists at m.i.t. who just make colors? that is what kindergarteners do. are you telling me some engineer is working on a more efficient solar panel and the guy next to him is like yellow and blue makes green! (laughter) and if you ever see this blackest black in the real world, well, turns out bmw is already work on it. >> bmw is taking one of its special edition cars and painting it the blackest black on earth. the company says its newest xx model will be unveiled next month with one version of what is called a vanta black finished considered one of the darkest shades of black on earth with the pigments absorbing 99% of light. >> trevor: yeah, this is a great idea, bmw, what everyone needs, a car that you can't see coming. yeah. take the terror out of being run over as a pedestrian because one minute are you walking and then you're not, ah, what happened. it also gives a whole new meani

there are black people there.it as the social economy of race. so, reparations, for example, if it's a monetary grant, doesn't get away from the structure of racialization, that money is going to be worth less in a generation by virtue of the fact that disaccumulation is part of the operation of race. just as when women are paid less, black people are paid less, things associated with black people are valued less, et cetera, et cetera. that process will continue. so i don't doctor my only hesitation is to think of reparations as a cure-all. it's not. it would not be. and yet i do think given the unbelievable wealth, the wealth of the nation is built on king cotton. that's the black labor 0, of course reparations makes sense. [applause] >> to take it back down to a more personal level, going back to child at the arts and craftses table, if their parents were able to look you in the eye, can you imagine for us the conversation you would have liked to have? >> oh, wow. i mean, honestly, i haven't thought about the su

and literally black now my considered legally black? [laughter] i don't know but i do know at mount zion church i am the 33rd pastor but mount zion was one of those churches that individuals that were much lighter and fairer skinned than i were pretty much the congregation of the church like methodist church on wentworth and the baptist church and a couple of other churches, even looking at the membership even though legally black they were high yellow. so until recently even i would not be eligible to be pastor at mount zion because i am too dark so look at the 33 and you start to see the coloring it isn't until the eighties they became darker and i believe i may be the darkest. [laughter] >> our concern was the family issue and the fact that in families we tell stories and how we tell the story whether uncle george or the portrait at the dinner table or if he is a member of another community most of us did not have experience with anyone of color and certainly not in the accepted ways of academia to go to school with them. we did not

can the republican party win if they lose overwhelmingly the black vote and atlas huge black turnoutthe general election next year? >> no, they can't win. and i just want to just throw my hat in on joe biden here. because i think that joe biden can steamroll this election. i look at these democratic candidates and it looks like they're running for the mayor of berkeley, california, as opposed to the president of the united states. they have to win in wisconsin, in pennsylvania, in michigan. and joe biden's the kind of candidate who can not only win african-american voters but white working class voters, those trump/obama voters that were lost in 2016, right-leaning independent voters, some of these republican women in the suburbs who find trump totally distasteful. that's an opportunity to bring the coalition together and win by high margins, not just beating trump, but potentially beating trumpism and really teaching the republicans a lesson for going with somebody like this. >> maya, thursday is the third debate. if you were given giving advice to joe biden, bernie sanders u liz wa

most black people do. [laughter] so please tell me sir, where in our history, or black people have been economically educated. where is our economic history. why isn't conveniently conveniently neglected from our black history pages. and so with that, you learn that there is a huge disconnect of information. there has been six different times are money as it arrived and then taken from us. and there is a reason while we distrust things and put our money underneath of a pillow pillar. it's been adopted by the libraries, the state of illinois where they have chicago, or martin luther king set i've never been to a more racist place. they did a research study in the book and found that over the book has been written like it. it is my goal amongst many other things, my main goal in live, is to make sure this book is mandatory meeting across the entire country. so i hope you join me in that effort. thank you. [applause] >> are going to talk now with the authors, the publisher. find out about money the white hous

when women are paid less, black people are paid less, thinks associate with black people are valued less, et cetera, et cetera. that process will continue. so my only hesitation is to think of reparations as a cure-all. it's not. it would not be and yet i do think given unbelievable wealth, the wealth of the nation is built on king cotton. that's flatly. of course reparations makes sense.e. [applause] >> to take it back down from our personal level, going back to the child of the arts and crafts table. if their parents were able to look you in the eye, could you imagine force the conversation you would've liked to have had? >> o, wow. i mean, honestly i haven't thought about the substance of the conversation. i thought about the fact that conversation. the a idea that acknowledging me and my children as members of their community. so hello. would be meaningful. [laughing] [applause] this is not, i should say, utah, anybody here, you talk to the black people in your life, you will hear stories up on stories of being misnamed, ms. ms. recognized by worked at an institution for seven years

places in black neighborhoods. there is a powerful movie that just came out about what was happening in georgia where there were voting machines left in warehouses while blacks were waiting 10 hours to vote. how do we get past that? what are the lessons you draw from reconstruction from the history and from what the courts did? how do we move this current supreme court and the courts we have today to get to a place where we can actually get to the democracy that i think most americans would like us to have. >> that was a very eloquently stated question. it is often said that the supreme court follows the election returns that is to say the decisions reflect a broader societal set of developments not simply legal arguments and precedents et cetera. personally, i think that's not actually what happened in late 19th century. the commitment to reconstruction actually continued longer on the part of the republican party officials and party voters. black and white. then the court sort of took into account. you have to lo

a lot of black face yeah. three at least -- three separate incidents of black face? >> so ping our first reaction is always can you believe these people have black face in their path i think actual answer is -- of course they do. that's why they're lecturing rest of us about our racial and sensitivity in other words whatever it is they're accusing you of is what they're doing and reason they're accusing you of it is because they know they're doing to. so the guys who fly private plane scream at you eating steak because of climate the people with three separate photograph black face instants god knows how many else weren't on camera those people have to call you racist all about compensating for their own sense. so you this is projection on his part because -- i think deep down maybe he knows that he's not only doin this in the past but perhaps maybe he harbors some feelings of superiority we have seen him with his kind of ethnic posturing when he travelsess overseas he puts on all sorts of indian robe, head dress, and people think that's a little over the top what's

if you look at the polls of black voters, i think we just had the to grab up he's 51% with black voters as opposed to the closest one to bernie sanders is almost half that, 22%, kamela harris 10%. he is going to have to, though, be specific, because i would imagine the other candidates when we go into the next debate are going to really challenge him on specifics, which again he did not answer the other fight. they asked about the question was about reparations. he started talking about other things. >> record players. >> and i had young people say to me, it was at an hbcu college, i had students say to me what is a record player? you have a whole generation don't know what a record player is? i still say i tape things. but to your point, rev, you also have folks like elizabeth warren who is on the uprise. she's ticking up right now. and the difference i think between her and joe biden right now is she is looking to the african community, african-american community and saying i really want your vote. i'm going to be here and listen to you. >> and aggressively going after it. >> and aggr

support black folks, black colleges and demonize black people every week.n reid this morning. >> he's demonizing all of us. >> you can't treat us like this and say you support our institutions. weir not falling for that anymore. historically one thing that republicans even the most conservative of republicans support is hbc hughes and black banks because they give them a pathway to say look, we're not racist and it encourages the segregation nature. >> he has yet to come really concrete ways of helping black colleges and he certainly hasn't helped black banks but let me ask you a question and this is just me knowing donald trump. why was this so out of the media? i mean, the president speaking to black colleges on a week that the democrats were debating at a historic black college, it was almost a secret. the white house certainly didn't push it out there heavy. i think the first time most viewers ever saw that what i played as i just played it, it was almost like i want your support but i don't want to be seen with you because they did not -- they did not

even at black colleges white people are taken over many of those colleges and blacks are complainingthere's too many whites in those colleges. >> blacks are not complaining about that. black colleges have been embracing white students from the very beginning for the problem is the white colleges were not embracing black students. that's the problem. >> laura: ri guys -- >> we have to have single colleges, not racially identifiable colleges. >> there is no evidence. >> laura: ri, time out to both of you. i am glad we can't doctor when in his socks. you always make me laugh. well, -- all right guys. thank you for joining us. coming out, california lawmakers think it's in good idea to dole out cannabis to kids. can you not. we come back do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there's a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath

black-on-black crime, is the response that's enforcement is using force in black communities. distasteful as it may seem, it's a reasonable statistical question. if may be problem that poverty is driving this. as an answerable question well. there is not a study that takes nto account, poverty rates, school achievement, housing inequality that yields anything elements, crimee and poverty, are not sufficient to explain racial disparities. be able to distinguish between the two. chair nadler: reverend sharpton, briefly. reverend sharpton: i concur with dr. goff's answer. would also say for the record that when we had campaigned frisk in new nd york, saying it was discriminatory, and the new dministration came in and reduced it down to nothing, crime went down. crime is at an all-time low. i'm not a nerd, but i can read and write. down with stop and frisk gone. i think that we need to be very, clear about that. and as far as black-on-black crime, think in any community people are the victim of the people of their same race. the problem in the black that we have fear of cops and r

when i was greg up, blackness was -- it's funny. when i was young, we were all -- i grew up in a place where i integrated my elementary school and there weren't any other black people around and i sensed we were fascinated be backness. when i was quite young we had this -- ani' elementary school we have an antidrug rap and the thing that was weird is everybody started to looking to me like i was suppose told know how to help and i was as helpless as everything else. that was something i was meant to do. assumed this persona like i knew what was happening. and i -- >> did you have something. >> yes. >> the funny thing is by the time i moved to ticks was nervous but meeting a whole bunch of black people for the first time i me. izeed two -- memorial memorize the entire album, and i remember -- i played basketball so that was helpful and i was good at basketball. so that enabled me but even then i'm think about blackness in the very particular way. it was a very kind of limited notion of it and think can about blackness i didn't includ

as a black woman and talking unscientifically to a lot of black women, a lot of black women are not feeling president donald trump. >> hmm. fascinating conversation. wish we had more time, but unfortunately we're out of it. thank you all. i'll see you next time. have a good evening. >> thanks, don. >> thank you for watching. our coverage continues. . . >>> republicans get the wins they had to have. what two races in north carolina tell us about the 2020 campaign. >>> the fallout fast and fierce after the ousting of national security adviser john bolton. what it means for adversaries worldwide. >>> and a call to stop vaping after a sixth person died from a related lung disease. >>> also, rape allegations against troubled new england patriots wide receiver antonio brown. the accuser was his trainer.

being at the park while black. driving down the street while black.rywhere you turn, the issue around racism and overt racism and it's -- and white nationalism is in our everyday living. so i wasn't surprised at all by that. and affordable health care had always been consistent. we wanted to go a little deeper this year and ask also what you personally thought about this issue so that we would have some idea of how we go about -- we use this for organizing purposes. so that -- and be able to understand what black women are concerned about. we'll have a deeper understanding of where black women are. we drive -- we are the secret sauce to the black vote. we drive that vote and so it's important that we know how to protect it. >> there are black republicans. donald trump is at a hefty 1% in the poll. that's probably -- what is it, the cubic zirconium -- maybe kanye, we don't know. i think donald trump is scheduled to speak at an hbcu conference this week. they have a strategy which involves asap rocky and a lot of other celebrities trying to help asap ro

for black men, because opportunities were few and far between, black men typically had to look to the seas to earn a living, and it was sometimes sporadic money but you would get all your money at once and that was kind of the jackpot moment when you brought home you're earnings, and also very dangerous work. the minute you left portsmith or philadelphia or what have you and sailed to other locations your freedom was always in jeopardy. so to think about -- ona knew she was marrying a sailor and he would be away for long periods of time so that's kind of protection that many looked for at least through marriage in terms of having a male, a husband or spouse, who could help especially a free person, , wasn't always at play for ona. she spent lot of time alone. at first when i was working on the book, there were notes that he kind of disappeared from her family, like just kind of fell off the face of the earth, so it took me a long time trying to track down what happened, and so track down what happened, and so i didn't bring an image of this but i have a moment when i found a death not

the civil rights movement, the black power movement, the black arts movement. you integrated those in your life and i would love for you to tell this audience your own experience and reveal how these movements have overlapped. also talk about why it is necessary that we do not box ourselves. >> i just wanted to say, i didn't know before i came -- [inaudible] >> your mic. >> hello? >> it is on now. >> i just wanted to say that at some point, we have learned you can't have a conference without the idea of, there must be something that comes out of this conference that will help our young children. i hope you make a statement or try to do something, otherwise we are dislocated. the other thing is, a woman who was a great writer and cultural transition.-- i want to read something i wrote about her, if i may. i want you to see that we are not separated from each other. if you have not read toni morrison, i am going to follow you around. [laughter] and tell you why. this is when i introduced toni on may the 12th. you said we die. that may be the meaning of life, but

people, to ostracize black people, to put a marker on black people.s the american caste system. that's an idea deeply, deeply, deeply entrenched in american culture. a samsung galaxy note 10? a netflix subscription on us. and for a limited time. buy any samsung galaxy note 10 and get one samsung galaxy note 10 for free. >>> one horrific day last march in the city of christchurch, new zealand, a man entered a mosque and started shooting. >> i don't understand why someone would hurt us like this just like an animal. why would you treat us like that? >> 51 people murdered during friday evening prayers. by a white supremacist. >> you may have chosen us, but we utterly reject and condemn you. >> the killer's weapons were inscribed with names, racist messages and nazi symbols. one was a young swedish girl killed in a terror attack in april of 2017. the new zealand terrorist mentioned her many times in his manifesto. to take revenge for ebba, he wrote. the inspiration for his gruesome attack came from another white supremacist. he committed the worst massacr

he's the author of "more than icons and images: uncovering the hidden protest narrative of the black american athlete in the 21st century." we interlude mr. posley, senior pastor from the antioch baptist church in indianapolis, at the annual black history luncheon n washington, d.c. >> you wrote a book about the hidden protest narrative in the black american athlete. tell me where you feel it begins. >> i believe that the protest narrative actually began the moment that africans were brought to american soil. we are celebrating the dubious 400-year anniversary of that arrival here, and immediately upon the arrival of blacks on the american shores, slave owners began to be enamored with the black male physique, so much so it caused them to engage these black men, warriors, several types of warriors and chiefs, into various types of sport, head butting, cock fighting, and what is

and that if one black person suffers, if one black person is down, we are all down.at's what doctor martin luther king jr. said. i don't want to say yes ma'am to you anymore. i said to my mama. they got her attention. we children never crossed our parents. back then, at least in my family, kids obey their parents and that was the end of the discussion. but my mother was intrigued more than anything else. and why is that marie? in the jim crow south, it was normal for black people to address white people by looking down as they said, yes ma'am and no sir. until i was five years old, i always heard my mama and daddy respond to the white abernathy's in this way. i hated the deference they had to show. when i explained this to my mom, her face softened. to my surprise, she agreed with me and i never said yes ma'am to anyone, ever again. as i grew up, i became someone who stood up for various causes. when my mother's brothers from chicago visited, they were amazed that my fighting spirit. that's a polite way of saying, i was buck wild. watch this my uncle said to another

matter because you go after black-white matter but you know, great. [laughter] >> that's a part of the book that i probably received the most pushback on. >> [inaudible] >> they are a radical group. yes and i think they would also self identify as radical. [laughter] is in the eye of the beholder but a lot of these things think of themselves as being radical in a good way. the challenge i tried to pose to black-white matter were people who support them how they actually help resolve the problems i described and i take issue with all forms of what i would call with the centralizing so one of the common threads of everything we talk about is thes rest on been able to say to a young person there is an authentic way to be a muslim or a white person or a black person and when you claim that authenticity you are claiming power because you're trying to define what people are supposed to be but black-white matter of the nature of invoking race and the weight they do and their activism in linking that too i was a pretty french political ideas, honestly, their
