>> guest: progressives see race behind every question in black america. they don't look at the facts that where we see marital life, the income difference between white community, black community is minuscule. you can rarely even measure it. they lie about educational roll of blacks when we look at black people in married households compared to black people in single households. so they take issues that are concentrated in these impoverished communities, and then they build them out as racial questions. and it's very damaging because whites get afraid, and then we shut down dialogue, and it continues the patterns that we've been on for 50 years now promoting destructive public policies for these communities. >> host: star parker, we're taping this interview at the same week that the south carolina confederate flag is coming off the state capitol. >> guest: yeah. been a long journey for them. when you think about the state of south carolina, i don't like when federal hands and others from outside reach into a state and tells the people of the state what to

in the opening chapter who is that in the nation blacks america's suicide turns out is the result. his plan whose plan and what is the plan? suspect there's a powerful political movement that goes by the name of progressivism of the american history a series of crimes on the defenseless minority groups starting with the american indians and then continuing so there is this sense that they've built up the wealth and that similarly today american foreign policy is based abroad but for good reason. that's what he means that other people are taking fair shares for themselves. if you think that even america today is robbing people in order to make some people rich and other people poor, then it's reasonable to conclude i want to see this american power that has been used for bad historically as well as now diminished not because i hate america or because i'm a traitor or secret islamic radical. i just think that america has been a kind of evil empire in the world and it's the moral project to diminish american wealth and power. i believe that this is taught in the schools and colleges a

actual event and the grand jury and then the justice department is there a vacuum of leadership in black america and civil rights america? i don't think there is a vacuum of leadership. i think there is a vacuum of organized -- organization. these are not quite the same thing. in ferguson, the leadership was there. it was mobilizing people. it was saying, let's do something about this. let's raise some hell about this. today, things are not happening as quickly and are not put together as quickly as they were there then. >> yeah. if today somebody said, we are going to make julian bond the de facto head of ferguson response after it had happened, differently? >> i would have organized people to march or protest in a particular way in a particular direction. i would have them saying, we are all going to knock on these doors. we are going to make this noise. we are going to do this thing right here. we are going to be a machine moving and yelling and screaming and making noise. and that is the difference i would make. >> we look back at the civil rights movement as students of it and people who we

barack obama when he spoke at the democratic convention and he said there's no white america or black americae state, that he wanted to be someone who would unite americans as the united states of america. >> that's different, though. >> as americans, not divided. hold on, marc, let me finish. not americans divided along race. ben carson can choose whether or not he wants to dive more into racial politics as framed by the left but i thought his answer last night was one that a lot of americans could actually relate to. >> one, i think his answer was very different than barack obama. and i disagreed with barack obama's response in 2004 and 2006. i thought it was an awful answer, because there is a black america and there is a white bherk. but when what ben carson was staying is a step further into racial amnesia and blindness. he was saying race isn't real. when you cut people open and operate as a doctor you realize the human bodsy is one thing and race is social fiction. race might not be a biological reality, it's a social constr t construct, it affects the body politic. and ben carson, i'm

mainly till's decision to show the world and how it plays a pivotal roll in telling the history of black america. america. >>> nab the most extraordinary thing that took place is how commonplace it was. mississippi saw 500 lynchings from the end of the civil war to the 1950s. most often victims were men, women and children were too. when emmett was taken from his cousin's bed, his death might have passed unnoticed. instead. it changed history. >> every picture tells a story. this one told the truth. even in her grieve, mammy wanted to share the hardest brutal truth about the torture of her only child. >> i a say that that wi as out and lie -- i saw that this eye was out lying about midway the cheek. i looked at this eye, it was gone. i looked at the bridge of his nose, and it looked like someone had taken and shot it >>> imagine mammy's pain, she had sent him to chicago to spend the summer vacation with his cousin down south. a week later he was taken from his great uncle's house in the middle of the night, tortured and killed. the story could have been lost in the death of what locals call blac

however, in black america, this was all timely. when nwa was being covered by "the source" magazine which is where i was employed by a 21-year-old and it is timely today. unfortunately, because people are being killed -- >> you mean, you mean police, police violence. >> absolutely. absolutely. absolutely. >> but there is a national moment right now. i mean, it's remarkable to watch this national moment, and then remember that the big song that put them on notice was at the police, ice t -- that was like every -- everything was about that. that was dominating american politics 20 years ago. >> it was dominating american politics, entirely. but interestingly for you to say it's topical now. i guess i reject that inherently, because it's always topical in black america, it's just that there are cameras now and you can be in on the conversation. >> but there's also the fact, i don't think you could have made this movie, i don't think hollywood would have made this movie 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. part of that is about the evolu
