white supremacy and pointing out that this coup was so effective it is basically eliminated the blackman family from voting but from politics and after that first generation died out and it's interesting because it then suddenly, all the information went quiet and people just stop talking about it and i think the next generation realized how painful that must be for the black neighbors and how embarrassing it was to the world to know the truth. so it was sort of varied after that first generation died out. and it is mentioned in passing but very much a triumph of good government and ordinance. >> and to some degree of human nature that the descendents of the perpetrators may be somewhat embarrassed but they are not going to speak totally openly about what they know about what the grandfather or great-grandfather did. ... i spoke with him and my first job was at the news observer in raleigh that i worked for mr. daniels and i work for five years and have no idea daniels had been involved in white supremacy it was going around the newsroom but was proceeding editor, they never want mention

jay blackman, thank you.ou for getting to an area in which your reception was better, first of all. thank you for providing us with all this information as this news was developing. thankfully, the atlanta airport has given the all-clear. flights are resuming. passengers returning to where they were going. of course, after panic ensued at that airport just about an hour and 15 minutes ago when a shot rang out. it was subsequently noted as an accidental discharge although they are still searching for the individual that brought that loaded gun to that airport. we're going to continue to follow this story, so i want to thank my guests, jay, jim, john, and kathy as well, as this thing develops, as we get more, we'll bring it to you, but with that, we want to move on to other things that have been developing throughout the week. >>> the kyle rittenhouse verdict. we're going to be talking a lot about that. verdict. we're going to be talking a lot about that it made me feel like i was trapped in a fog. this is art

that the grandfather was white to some extent but that was a minority so basically, it eliminated blackman from voting but made them out to the poor whites and illiterate whites is a very effective piece of legislation that passed in the 19 hundreds and played a big role and black citizens for not voting for 70 years in north carolina pretty. >> definitely suppress the vote all across the south i think you are right about that. in this writing engine bryant and it lynching get started in one thing that i should not have been surprised of was that the groups of men started to come to wilmington pretty they wanted to get in on the fight and the action there and that was very surprising to me predict. >> yes through shocking think that the governor was a republican, he was from wilmington and he was part of his grandfather's growing up in a plantation but he was moderate by the standards of the time and absolutely prolonged the black vote from putting him in office and yet he gave the order that day, the day of the coup, for the two white supremacist militia to go out into the streets and sta

or as anne blackman, rose's biographer, argued was she trying to trap him because of his abolitionist views? i'll mention, too, there are some historians who don't believe these letters were written by henry wilson at all. and they attribute them to horace white who was in the war department. a bit of a mystery there. as the election of 1860 approached, it looked like rose was going to be in this prime position. she was going to be a good friend of the next president, it seems. she was close to joe lane who was considered, also with john brokenridge who became the candidate for the southern democrat and who was buchanan's vp. and rose was also the aunt of rose adell who had married stephen douglas and stephen douglas is the candidate for the northern democrat. of course none of that happens. abraham lincoln is elected. and in 30 years of democrat rule in d.c., rose despised lincoln. she referred to him as the beanpole and was certainly unhappy about lincoln's election. not only did abraham lincoln's election cause or lead to the breakup of the union as the deep south states after he w

i'm joined by nbc news senior producer jay blackman. what do you know about this incident?government official tells me this is -- this is a senior government official that the passenger's gun was discovered after checkpoint in their accessible property. the passenger then grabbed it and accidentally discharged the weapon at the checkpoint. so, this was -- sounds like it was a mistake. the first -- of this year, there were more guns discovered in passenger luggage than ever before, so that was a record. it's just that people bring guns to airports, and as captain cox said earlier, most of the time, they are discovered and they're sent on their way. >> okay. jay, i need you to reiterate because the audio was a little sketchy at the beginning of when you joined us. so you're saying that somebody grabbed this gun -- explain one more time how this went down. >> sure. a single government official tells me that a passenger -- a gun was discovered at the checkpoint in the passenger's bag. the -- when they discovered it, the passenger tried to grab the gun. the gun accidentally disc

went out and echoed this story that it was an inappropriate and criminal shooting of an unarmed blackmanhat drew people from across state lines to riot, burn and loot the city of kenosha. the whole situation might never have happened if the media hadn't amplified what was a terrible story but the fact pattern is all over the place. jacob blake still lives which is missing from the reporting. people were vehemently against mass incarceration of juveniles until they heard about kyle rittenhouse. now they want him locked up. judge jeanine: gang members, their brains aren't fully formed. but kyle rittenhouse, give him the death penalty. joy read is one of my favorites. >> it's the kyle rittenhouse trial, it reminded a lot of people of something. the brett kavanaugh hearings. brett kavanaugh cried his way through the hearings. in america there is a thing about white vine land iism and white tears, particularly male white tears. >> of course. if you watch the actual trial you probably think he was guilty. but they have to talk about the only thing they have. they have to talk about race and wh

we ended up -- >> blackman, harry blackman and william rendquest. how about when sort of -- i'm sure it happens to everyone but when you vote for something because really constituent pressure. and in retrospect you wish you hadn't or -- >> i, i don't -- probably farm bill and really not pressure to hear from the farm stage and you're on ag committee, and in those days we used to say okay you guys work out the program. and then we'll come back and we'll put the bill together. senator eleanor was the same from louisiana. so there was never any partisanship. it was russell long who gave us the famous alternative millionaire tax. and it wasn't russell's idea. it came from another senator. now we've got 20, 30 million people, so some of these great ideas. he was a great legislator. you get up on the senate floor and there'd be 50 amendments, 8:00 at night, and he'd just start taking them. he'd go to conference and out they'd go. but you get a press relief back home. >> without naming names are there senators who could tempty the place when they get up to

[laughing] people go to jail for that. one of the things i was raised, i knew what consequences were very early on in life and so i didn't want this consequences to fall on me. not for me. i felt like i done something wrong and i had broken the rules and they didn't want mr. west to go to jail and be gone because i done a bad thing. i didn't want my uncle, he was a teacher, had children and i didn't my uncle to go to jail. if i'd said

some facts badly wrong. british online newspaper, the independent claimed that written house shot 3 blackman, when in fact all 3 were white and his husky tailor comments now the trial and how it has split the us not guilty towards that of sparked a firestorm in the us white nationalist and domestic terrorist across this country, our high fiving hat, this person been african american, all of a lead latino. he will be behind bars tonight. we've got a pattern now we're white. men feel that they have the right to enforce the law themselves. the child of kyle rittenhouse had america on the edge of it, feet, it set up an epic clash for some, he's a moore in order. a hero, a real american, taking on out of control riotous for others peace. everything that's wrong with the country, a racist white vigilante, you can cute to kill no questions asked. and while the judge might think his courtroom showed the very best of american justice, that attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us. this justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed the many divide. it proves the opposit

in south asia, blackman as an madison, his chief editor of the artist news. he joins us now from molly in them all these good to have you with us. so india has strong trade cultural ties with them. busy all these, i think, last year they gave $250000000.00 to the country that try and help the pandemic. one has triggered such a strong campaign against new delhi. thank you. you have always enjoyed strong relationship with india and he has as low and the moment the good news is mainly the indian military in the mortgage. and the moment their delivery presence can be seen across high locations in the mornings, and they open it up and one military and also signed where it is military agreements between the moses in india and most recently this year and february they signed an agreement with india to the other and maintain and navigate this. this is something similar to the of the mega adams in margins are, the dealer had exposed. so this is one of the main reason and the government has not been transparent about this. we as a newspaper organization, we requested t

a jury has been selected in the us state of georgia, in the case of 3 men charged with killing a blackman evidence in the racially charged case for ahmad aubrey. would be heard by 11 white people and one black juror man accused of chasing and killing 25 year old aubrey last year. oh, he was joking. case has drawn national attention. i wasn't surprised. festus. some of what we've already been facing in this case. it's another part of the injustices that we see here in glenn county. not just with this case, but with many. so it's just another part of what we face every day. and b, c reports, a j grey is in brunswick, georgia. i've signed the cords, was a long and very contentious jury selection process 2 and a half weeks to get this 12 member panel as you talk about, there's still a lot of contention over that 11 white jurors, one black jury members, the judge in this case is already set, and i'm quoting here, there appears to be intentional discrimination that by defense attorneys, he says in the selection process. but he also goes on to point out that they didn't violate any georgia state

a blackman who was killed in georgia walk out jogging defense attorneys strong. almost all the potential black jurors from the pool prosecutors cool for judge timothy, wolds they to reverse the rejection of the 8th of the black jurors. but the judge says he cannot legally intervene opening arguments all set to begin on friday. and besides, j grey has been following developments from the court house in brunswick, georgia. let's talk 1st about what the judge specifically said in reference to this jury make up, and i'm quoting here, he says there appears to be intentional discrimination by the defense team. they struck 8 potential blank juror saying that they were just overly biased, that they had already made up their minds about this case. and the judge said, he's got to let that stand because they didn't use race as a basis for removing these potential panelists, what you end up with here is a jury. that's 11 white jurors, and one member of that panel is black and the makeup of this small town about 85000 people that live here is 26 percent black. so this jury in

it is a big deal this today to discuss this further, i'm joined by jo blackman who's a head of forest policy and advocacy at global witness. said joe, on the face of it, it's a good thing, but really how much half of this have. sure, so we welcome the commitment today and we welcome the fact that for a set top of the agenda and recognizes crucial to talking climate change, that what we need is action. not just words these forrester disappearing a rapid rise them and we not, we need action today, right. and when you say action, what type of actually talk about $90000000000.00 is a lot of money. how to ensure that that is made accountable. so we're part of the problem as we've seen previous commitments, both from governments, both cipher companies and financial institutions, to tackle deforestation and to harvey and hold those commitments haven't been mats . and what we're lacking in previous commitments is accountability to show that it's delivered. if governments are serious about tackling deforestation, what i need to do is bring forward laws to stop the supply chains and companies f

was 17, he says he went there to protect local businesses from the rights following the death of a blackman to run a conflicts with police, similar confrontation, hope and fire. he claims in self defense. 2 people died and another was wounded. it's a case that is encapsulated to one of america's most, the rooted issues. as ortiz, saskia china explains patriot or terrorist hero or cold blooded killer. that's no consensus in america. in fact, kyle written houses become the face of the united states divided look up kyle written house and throw away the key. he was trying to get away from them. i guess looks like. and he fell and then they very violently attacked him. this is a city president of the united states of america is supposed to be protecting his country. but instead he's rooting for chaos and violence when joe biden called cal rittenhouse, a white supremacist last year. it really was just the go to move of the democrats. they do this all the time. the ongoing trial of the teenager who shot dead 2 people during the canal b l m protest has ripped wide open deep rooted rifts. it's gone,

say lynch if necessary and she was telling the men of georgia they needed to go start glitching blackman. alex manley heard about this and he sat down the day he found out about it in august and wrote an editorial that absolutely shocked the white supremacists and whites across the south and essentially he said most black men who were clenched were supposedly raping white women. he pointed out what everyone knew what he wanted in writing that white men had been raping black men for generations with impunity. this absolutely incensed the the vigilantes wanted to lynch him that day. the coup leaders said, this is too early. it will have a better political impact if we wait until closer to the election in november. then you can lynch manley and burn down his newspaper. they did burn down the newspaper but he was warned a couple of days before that a lynch mob was looking for him. he fled and escaped and never went back. >> rebecca felton, she was a feminist and on the other hand a white supremacist. you see the suffrage movement was tied with white supremacy. both the anti-separatists and p

as if they have two jobs -- one is to be -- you know, to do their job, but the other is to be a blackmanes. >> woodruff: you talked about driving while black. >> driving while black. i did not interview one black person who had not had at least one experience with driving while black, pulled over for no apparent reason and the first question is always where did you get this car? pause a black person in the minds of many police shouldn't be driving a nice car, especially at night. there's a story that doc rivers, the coach of the philadelphia 76ers told me about one of his teammates kenny norman making the mistake of stopping to get gas in south central l.a., and the next thing he knew, he was across the hood of his car with hand curves on because the cops pulled up and just assumed the car was stolen. my favorite story was about colin jones the olympic scwimmer who went out to walk his dog one night, and a police car went by, made a u-turn, came back and the police officer said, where did you get that dog? it's my dog. what kind of dog is it? bulldog terrier. how long have you had it? si

but before we wrap this up, which is, are you surprised by this statistic that our reporter, jay blackman, got from a tsa agent, 80% of the guns they discover are loaded? >> i looked on the tsa website, and it's a slightly above 80%, and they have had a record year of number of guns that they have found and the leading airport in which guns are found is atlanta hartsfield. so, when you put all of that together, am i -- am i amazed or surprised that the gun was loaded? no. most guns are. secondly, this -- and this is typical if someone doesn't intend to carry on to the airplane, it's a mistake, they've forgotten about it, as jim cavanaugh said, these oftentimes are law-abiding citizens that just make a mistake, but typically, if you're going to carry a gun, and it's not loaded, it's not a lot of good to you so the fact that it was loaded, that doesn't really surprise me at all. the number of guns that we're finding in luggage that people are trying to get on to aircraft, either by mistake or not, is unacceptably high, and so we need to continue the education and to take it extremely seriou

you know, when you think back to roe two months before it was decided, justice blackman who wrote the majority opinion, he said it's going to be an unsettled period for a while. well, 49 years later we're obviously in more than an unsettled period. and how did we get here? it depends who who you ask. the people who are opposed to roe will say it's roe itself that has politicized the issue. and those on the other side will point out that was actually the republicans had begun to politicize abortion preroe. you had president nixon about facing on the issue in 1970. so as to perhaps siphon off votes from the democrat catholics, and what is inarguable is that roe galvanized those opposed to it. what we're seeing now with sb-8 is that this is just sort of the latest weapon in a 50 -year pro-life war on roe. there was politics and protests, technology in the sense that they used fetal photography to humanize the unborn. crisis pregnancy centers. these thousands of outposts that tried to often set up right next to abortion clinics so as to dissuade a woman from having an abortion. rebranding

>> i think that's precisely the question that dobbs poses here because ever since justice blackman wrote, which establishes the viability standard, the complaint has been, viability is a moving target. is it 24 weeks? is it 22 weeks? could medical science advance further? in dobbs, though, the argument is a little bit different, and the state of mississippi, which originally didn't ask for an outright reversal of roe subsequently made a filing where they said we think roe is ripe to be reversed. the question is whether this will continue to be the standard, if we have this process where the weeks move up from 24 to 15 to 6 like in texas or whether the court takes an entirely different approach. we know that amy coney barrett earlier in her career and no proponent of abortion rights, but she did weigh in and say she thought it was unlikely that roe vs. wade would be reversed. the question is whether she still thinks that now that she's on the supreme court. >> let's talk about if, in fact, roe v. wade, barbara, is overturned. you got 12 states in the nation right now with kind of these ov

and then blackman that are targeted and black men that are not given opportunities on the cause of vacation goes for those as well. i understand you can pull yourself by the bootstraps which is great. but if we are in the system where everyone can do something with their god-given ability to initiate not be an issue. the issue we are facing is just that once you are a certain color you are targeted by certain institutions. i would like to hear your comments based on that. host: before we hear from doctor swain tell us about yourself. >>caller: actually i am a history teacher. and i understand the history of this country but the things that split this country with racism and you yourself said what is your perspective on the new form of racism? host: we got the point. >> first of all i sympathize with the collar and his perspective. and i do have two sons, two adult sons. one is 50 and one is 47. i raised my children. so i am familiar. and i'm telling everyone more than they need to know. i have been married twice to black men. so i understand the perspective on —- perspective that he articul
