your black america. - right, well it's all my black america but black america is multi-faceted. - yeah and no more. - and that's the point. - monolithic than white america, right, right. - there are more african americans than all the people in canada. - is that right? - [dr. gates] there are 42 million african americans and somebody can, right now, you can google. (audience laughs) i think there are 36 million canadians. - yeah. - yet we use metaphors like the community for afro-america. - right. - it's country. - right. donald trump says the blacks. - the blacks, yeah. - which sound like 10 people right? - yeah, that's right. but martin delaney, i believe in 1852, the father of black nationalism said we are a nation within a nation. that was 1852. and it's true. and so we can never expect 42 million people to be in the same economic class but that's what our redirect has suggested. somehow, we were gonna dismantle de jure segregation and all of us would plunge head-long into the middle class. it's an oxymoron. it never was going to be that way. the best outcome that we could achieve

and with voters depression in those states there 18 black football players and their accepted into those athletic programs. is a sad day in america because. >> what he is speaking to is one of those central issues there are obvious ways that black people make progress that relates to race and there are other ways that progress has not been made for those who have not been incarcerated last few decades is unprecedented. if so what i realized in studying history instead of thinking of a singular history or take a few steps forward then back that is not indicative of the actual history we had a history of consistent racial progress in the simultaneous progression of racism. happening simultaneously. co2 recognize the do history gives us the better way to understand how in a state like alabama to have the black people vote surpassed and simultaneously athletes being depressed. >> host: last call comes from jackson heights new york. you are on booktv. >> caller: there is a collage of human beings from a specific place i want to find out more and the people from the caribbean for maybe you read it and it i learned a great deal but i le

critic, an emmy-award-winning film maker who's latest pbs documentary series is and still i rise: black america since mlk. he's henry louis gates jr., this is overheard. let's be honest, is this about the ability to learn or is this about the experience of not having been taught properly? how have you avoided what has befallen of the nations in africa? you can say that he made his own bed, but you caused him to sleep in it. you saw a problem and over time took it on. let's start with the sizzle before we get to the stake, are you gonna run for president? i think i just got an f from you actually.

there are cultural pathologies in black america and black people are more criminally minded more hypersexual, achieving at lower level than white students but it's because of their environment and so they emphasize both trying to civilize black people, but then hey also have tried to challenge racial discrimination. these are be people that i would classify assimilationists and they have been -- had these ideas there's something wrong with black people as a result of their culture or environment and these idead have never been proven and many have been disproven. >> okay, let me just open that question up a little bit to the two other writers. how do you see your research in terms of how it relates to contemporary times. >> i actually following what ibram was saying, a lot of the quote-unquote school reform stuff we hear today is on the idea that schools are failing minorities. we hear that again and again and again, and the suggestion, therefore, is that if we only provide some particular improvement environment, if we only do something to help which is children who true up in a black famil

but in that speech he warned against black america becoming a colony within a nation. in his new book, chris takes that argument and turns it completely inside-out. argues that in many ways that is exactly what happened but not the way nixon meant it. and chris argues that this did happen in large part because of how the law has been used to impose order. quoting from chris, "the terrifying truth is that we as a people have created the colony through democratic means. we have voted to subdue our fellow citizens. we have rushed to the polls to elect people promising to bar others from enjoying the fruits of liberty. a majority of americans have put a minority under lock and key." it is a terrifying, fascinating, well-told short, interesting book. unlike "twilight of the elites," though, this one does not necessarily offer us a plan for getting out of it. joining us now, the host of "all in with chris hayes" at msnbc, is that unfair? >> no, it's totally fair, yeah, i don't foe. >> you are lamenting what you describe this colony in a nation phenomenon and it's an emotiona

fund these colleges and trying to keep them going, and they are absolutely part of the fabric of black america and america, but again, there are those that are saying that mr. trump, the president, got away with a photo op, there's no real dollar commitment. some people are calling some of the college presidents sellouts. and it's even worse to sell out and you didn't get anything! >> well, i think it's too soon to tell whether we achieved a goal or whether the goal is going to be elusive. certainly we got the nation's attention about the importance of historically black colleges, the importance of issuing an executive order, the importance that these institutions play. now we're going to find out, are they going to put their money where their mouth is? are there going to be teeth? is there going to be enforcement capability with respect to the executive order when it sets goals and demands equitable treatment of hbcus, which is the language of the executive order in terms of federal funding. so, this president has to submit a budget. is he going to put $1 billion in title 3? is he going to ma

. >> you look at black america today and there is a tremendous crisis in what is called the underclass. fatherless families, the numbers going up, women with children never married, not just divorced or widowed. of some kind of corrective structures that say we need to do better than this. how do we deal with this? >> this is a difficult issue and is an overriding issue today. overridingo, the issues were sheer opportunities and basics. now that you have this opportunity, many black children can't take advantage of it because they don't have the nurturing of families, families of any configuration. we haven't had nuclear families as the only families until the -- until the 70's, nuclear families were the rule but they do not thrive nearly as much in urban settings. getting into this issue is very different from getting into the education with the rest of it. it all depends on whether we get into this issue, at least with proxies for those families. i have worked with this issue now in a proactive way since the urban league speech in the early 80's. i wrote the first piece in a magazine

the impact, the picture that was painted for me in black america was that the cops were bad. so i grew up as a kid not liking the police. but i didn't have to worry too much about that, because i had an engaged dad. product of a two-parent family. my dad was real big on discipline. and when you get my book, i relate a story in there about my first exposure to the police. i was with a couple of buddies of mine hasing outside my house. my dad didn't let hang out on the street corners are down the street. he wanted my rear end at home. he said you can invite your friends over to hang out here. he wanted to keep an eye on me. had an engaged dad. and squad car drives by. stick up the black power symbol, right? i was about 12, 13 years old, a punk kid, right? the car stops. i didn't expect that.

i said, well, i think there is hardly any black person in america that doesn't know you.at the dawning of the montgomery campaign. but he was coming to new york to speak to the community. and he is doing it at the baptist church. and clayton powell was alive then and he was pastor. he said before or of that if we could meet just a few minutes, i would appreciate it. so i went to hear him speak and i was quite taken and we went downstairs into the basement of the church and what was supposed to have been just about 20 minutes was about four hours. and in that time, i had heard a voice and was privileged to enter into a mind that held great substance and deeply attracted me and i left that room knowing i would be in his service as long as service was required. like many, i thought that journey would be fairly brief. i had no idea that the black woman sitting on the bus and country preacher emerging from the ranks from a little unknown place would have had such universal consequence. the entire time of the rest of his life is hard lay day he didn't speak and have some busine

growing up latina and america and living in a black and white america the conversations very often around race tend to be black-and-white and we note the fact there's a large population of people that are not white or black and we've always been he here. people didn't come to america and they say america came to them. the border crosses them and so we've got to start learning more about that history because it is incredibly important and is a history that is not talked about. >> when i think about five years in the future, i think specifically about some people i've met during the course of the book and i hope they are specifically doing well and i hope as a society in addition to dealing with the big picture immigration issues that works in ways to motivate young people to do the best they can. motivation was a big issue for a lot of the kids i met, so i'm still in touch with the kids from teams very high. one actually moved to tucson, thanks for being here and his girlfriend as well.

if it was, i hope she will admit her mistake and acknowledge that historically black colleges and universities in america were not about choice. they were about racism. they were about trying to provide an opportunity, mostly a movement largely led by ministers and the most fundamental of opportunities that must be afforded every single citizen. so no, it wasn't about choice, secretary devos. it was about something else. and it's important that as the leader of education in this country, you acknowledge the history that is the underpinnings of the importance of historically black colleges and universities in our country. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor and notice an absence of the quorum. >> in case you missed it, here are clips of c-span's pr programming last year. nancy pelosi at the san francisco health care forum talking about the affordable care act. >> we're for the affordable care act. we want to see them come up that does not diminish what our goals were in the affordable care act. those goals to expand coverage to as many people as possible in our country, to improve benefits for eve

one of the things going up latina in america and living in a black and white america and the conversation very often around race and prejudice tend to be black and white and we have ignored the fact to some extent that there is a large population of people who are not white and who are not black. we have always been here. especially here in arizona and in texas where i grew up. people didn't come to america as they say america came to them. the border crossed them. and so we have got to start really learning more about that history because it is incredible history that isn't often talked about. >> yeah, so, who i think about five years in the future, i think specifically about some young people that i met during the course of doing this book and i think about them and hope they are specifically doing well. and i hope that also we, as a society, in addition to dealing with the big-picture immigration issues work on ways to motivate young people to do the best that they can. motivation was a big issue for a lot of the kids i met. so, yeah i am still in touch with a lot of the kids from the

develop a relationship with the african-american community, president trump issued a new deal for black americahis set of proposals. well if you want really make to progress on those proposals then you have to have credibility in the community. you have to have confidence or the community has to have confidence in your ability and your willingness to really make change. so that type of language and conduct doesn't promote partnership. so we sort of presented it in terms of what we thought would be in the best interest of the white house that they really want to make progress in and with the african-american community. >> the delegation the leadership not the entire cbc the leadership went and sat down with the president. this is a president who got some like 8% of the african-american vote. my question to you is, did you leave that meeti that he, a, listened and understood issues facing the black community and that anything will be done to differently? >> well, it certainly listened, and that was -- that was encouraging to see. now, in terms of his understanding, we'd like to believe that he ha

when i learned about the difference between just, for example, white unemployment and black unemployment in america, it's almost always two times. if it's a recession and white unemployment is 6%, pretty good chance black unemployment is going to be 12%. if it's a booming economy, white unemployment is 3%, black unemployment is going to be around 6%. i started asking questions, why is that? you think we would be able to answer that question. but we don't have good answers for that question. so what we're doing is partnering with some of the best academics in the country, sociologists, educators, to look into these issues. they're already looking at them, but we at the federal reserve want to do our part. we're going be working with our colleagues all across the system and we're really excited about that. whereas too big to fail, i said we can come up with an answer in a year. these problems of economic disparity are decades or longer in the making. we're not going to come up with an answer in a year, but we need to get going and do our part. >> maybe in a year we can have another interesting discus
