their black sons could die simply for driving black or for being black in the wrong place at the wrong time. books we black writers about black characters give us access to the experiences to the black experiences in the block world. becomes by black writers allow towsack the faith and gaze of black people. booksly black writers give all people owes the world a chance to see themselves in the face and gaze of the others. books by black writers allow to us see our common humanity and break down values that it. was struck by the conclusion, he comes to, in his remarkable book, between the world and me. he does not exonerate rouge police officers who killen in young men but this is what he does. the blames the legacy of america's history for endowing departments we the authority to destroy the black body. books by black writers offer america the opportunity to revisit that history through the lens of black characters. to see the self through the eyes of the other. to recognize and acknowledge our common humanity and so diffuse the possibility of more violence. winding the path to a more h

books by black writers allow us to accept black people. books by black writers give all peoples of the road the chance to see themselves in the face of the others. books by black writers allow us to see our common humanity and that's to break down barriers that separate us. we are struck by the conclusion in this remarkable book. he does not exonerate police officers who kill innocent young plan, but this is what he does. he blames the legacy of america history for a police department with the authority. books by black writers offer america the opportunity through the lens of black characters to see

black people for mostly black an people and white peoplo mostly white people. right, so they go into the community and are charged with the task on hunting of negroes so they basically scooped up the block and intimidate and interrogate folks but it also wasn't uncommon to be stopped or detained by police for walking down the street in neighborhoods they believed they didn't belong. there is an example in the book of a man that was stopped and detained because he was big, black and had a record. so there's all these ways that racial profiling and getting these confessions held true but even in certain respects i think in particular the way wilson was taken advantage of by the authorities, folks have described him as slow. he was barely 18-years-old an ad one point they gavione point thl during his interrogation and his confession is what sort of stands up and holds against him. the recent documentary that got a big splash on netflix he ends up getting embroiled in this case that has him still incarcerated so they are shocked at the amount related to race and cl

candidate for black revenge. [laughter] so he was initiated. that fear driving public policy. interacting with our babies. but what is so interesting is that our fere affects our political behavior. how many times are you in in your office and you bite your lip? we don't want to be perceived as being freed negro remember they settle bombing cannot be angry? cool as the other side of the palo? but i with malcolm on this. remember that wonderful line? tell them what kind of hell you have been catching the they are not ready to clean up their house they should not have a house then it should catch on fire and burned down. of not trying to scare a betty r. bern people's houses down but we do need to affirm the reality that it comes home to roost. we don't have the limited moral capacity we don't have that unlimited moral capacity to forgives. we are human beings. [applause] so i just gave you the first five chapters of the book the fifth chapter has everything to do transitioning to our complicity and the fact that w

much of this was done largely through her self-help model of organizing black women, establishing black women's groups, organizing with grassroots. we talked a lot about that in our class. any other questions? >> is it safe to say that helen dickens, her initiative and work was the establishment of modern-day cancer prevention programs or were there previous records of things we use today? research and advocating for donations and things of that nature. i think from what i've found that she is one of the pioneers of that as it relates to african-american women. there were some other examples of women's groups that were doing cancer prevention. remember when we talked about a women, aose black club big part of their initiative was health care for black women because of the part we mentioned over and over again are the questions about medical experimentation, forced their -- forced sterilization. organizing was around trying to indent that into other means of social activism. yes, was she one of the first african-american women to do it, definitely. any other questions? >> i was just wond

i am a black man and i shot one of my fellow black people.orry but it had to be done, people the gun on the. they didn't do that. the other thing is the media doesn't report about all the whites that were attacked during the so-called protests. there was a white cnn reporter thrown onto a fire. they try to burn him alive. they try to make it out to be some kind of protest when it was just an excuse for looting. the other point i wanted to make is we talked about the african-american museum. that is a good thing. -- am i stillair? on the air? host: we are listening. [laughter] caller: c-span doesn't talk about -- they talk about "generic white people." it would be wonderful if you can talk about october 6 -- i come from a pennsylvania dutch area. october 6 is national german-american day. there are 62 million americans of german descent. it would be wonderful if there was a german museum, if there was an italian museum, or a talk on c-span about the experience of polish americans or hungarians who broke their backs in the coal mines and things

blacks. and the police are there at 75%. because they are trying to protect the lives of innocent black people. so that causes more confrontations with black people. and it causes more ambiguous situations and every once in a while it causes unjustified shooting or incident and when it happened, i put in my lifetime 7 70 police officers in jail. i have no problem putting a police officer in jail when he commits a crime. but i have a problem with the false narrative of the president, two attorney generals and geraldo is giving tonight the problem here is the huge amount of crime that goes on in black communities. now you have another choice. you can just let them kill themselves. and ignore it. which is what new york city did for 30 years. until i became mayor. they just parparcelled out poli had nothing to do with crime. had i done the same thing there would be 7,000 or 8,000 more dead african-americans today. >> tell me about when a president of the united states, we talk about the bully pul

the thousands of blacks killed by other blacks.like black lives only matter when killed by white cops. >> geraldo, i said that to you last night. >> i believe it. and hundreds of black people being killed by blue people. >> it is -- >> it's a virtual silence about the other. and let them be unfair, but not us? >> i'm not being unfair. >> we say, i just on the video. >> release the video-doosh. >> thanks for being with us. stay with the fox news channel. continuing coverage. it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. the new olay eyesrise. fultimate eye cream. for instant results of the number one prestige eye cream, without paying twice the price. show your amazement, not your age. with new olay eyes. ageless. when are they leaving? grilled cheese and campbell's tomato soup go together like grandchildren and chaos. made for real, real life. the mistay connected.elps us the microsoft cloud offers infinite scalability. the microsoft cloud helps our customers get up and

you know, black on black crime? stop and: i would do frisk. we did it in new york and it worked incredibly well. you have to be proactive. you really help people sort of change their mind automatically. you understand. you have to have -- in my opinion, i see what is going on here and in chicago. i think stop and frisk -- in new york city, it was so incredible the way it worked. we had a very good mayor. new york city was incredible the way that worked. i think that would be one step. amy: in more news on this weekend's bombings in new york and new jersey, a "new york times" investigation has revealed that the main suspect ahmad khan rahami, was flagged , twice for federal scrutiny in 2014, but was never questioned by federal agents. the first flag came from custom officials after he returned from pakistan. the second flag came after his father called the fbi after rahami reportedly stabbed a family member. during that phone call, his father referred to rahami as a terrorist. authorities now say rahami was carrying a notebook that suggests he

in particular black on black crime. you know blm and my friend jammu unfortunately push a certain type of white supremacy, and what i mean by that is that black lives somehow don't matter. you know, the three -- over 3,000 black lives that have been lost in chicago since president obama has come into office. they somehow don't matter unless they are taken by a white cop, and that's nonsense. if indeed black lives matter, then black lives lost by crime, which is exponentially higher, they matter. they grew up in the 80s when they had a murder rate of over 2,000 per year. it was after rudy giuliani and allies like my father roy inis pushed for putting criminals in jail that we lowered the murder rate and saved black lives. don't they matter? >> here's the problem, niger, when someone says injustice has been committed, to say no, don't pay attention to that, what about this issue over here? guess what? we can walk and chew gum at the same time, we can talk about the violence in chicago. if the media would pay more attentio

keith black is one. dr. keith black is chairman of the department of neurosurgery at cedar sinai medical center in los angeles. black specializes in brain tumors and leads teams in complicated surgery. >>ou dr. black. >> how are you, sherry? >> good. >> feeling good? >> one of his patients is sherry sands. she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and after visiting five neurosurgeons she chose black to perform her surgery. >> i was at the computer desk and saw the tumor and in two months he told me, sherry, we're going to get it. neurosurgeons considered specialists in treating brain tumors since medical school. he's been fascinated with what he calls the sacredness of the brain. >> there's nothing i can think of more incredible in the universe than the human brain. when i'm operating on it and looking at it, it brings me closer to god. >> married with two children, dr. black has had his share of adventures as a pilot and world traveler. he's met dignitaries like nelson mandela and al gore and and sidney poitier

>> representing black joy is very important, if we recall that coined by black love is black wealth. right? my question and, i hope i don't make anyone mad asking this question is, why is it always black people who are raced and why don't white people ever feel that they have a race? that's my question as i finish this, because we aren't the ones who invented race. david hume invented race and we are living with the wages of that sin. so it's always interesting to me, that, for example, when i teach my students, and i say to them, when you write a story, why is it that no one ever has as race until the colored person walks into the room? because i don't assume that everyone is white. right? i assume that everyone looks like me. so, i think that, what i'm curious about is, why aren't there any books where white people examine -- now with white, i can feel people flinching in the room. if you say african american woman ornative american woman. but when you say white woman. people start jumping. like you're accusing them of something. i'm not accusing anyone of anything. but i do wonder

black girl magic? what does that mean? donald trump, hillary clinton, both pushing for the african-american vote. but why do democrats, what have they done for minorities and why they done for minorities and why do they always cha redid you say 97?97! yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's 97% customer satisfaction rating. 97%? helped by geico's fast and friendly claims service. huh... oh yeah, baby. geico's as fast and friendly as it gets. woo! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. every day starts better with a healthy smile. start yours with philips sonicare, the no.1 choice of dentists. compared to oral-b 7000, philips sonicare flexcare platinum removes significantly more plaque. this is the sound of sonic technology cleaning deep between teeth. hear the difference? get healthier gums in just 2 weeks vs a manual toothbrush and experience an amazing feel of clean. innovation and you. philips sonicare. save now when you buy philips sonicare. >>> welcome back to hannity. it's been a rou

most black people did not love black people and the fact that she and loved black people without hesitation is that fact sets her apart. i do believe that the is first lesson that we can learn from zora neale hurston and one of the reasons we should continue to read her. i imagine that most of you have read, their eyes are watching god, and one of the reasons i love reading their eyes are watching god, is the pleasure of their eyes are watching god. i laugh out loud every time i read it, even though i have read it two dozen times. there is still lines that i hear and i do try to read their eyes are watching god out loud at least a few passages and every time i teach the novel, the first class, a couple of students will raise hands and say, i can't understand this dialect. i can't read this. and i tell them, go home, read it aloud just as it is written. and if you do that, you willd hear the beauty and the humor in that language. that didn't just happen. to follow up on the comments. zora neale hurston listens as we listened to the way ordinary black people spoke. she wasn't ashamed of how w

from killing the blacks.he only reason why the blacks are killing the blacks is money is making money off of it. that is the only reason why we have all this violence going on. who if anyone are you planning on voting for? caller: i will probably be jillg for chills nine -- stein. i cannot see bill clinton getting back into the white house. and people don't understand the general condition of this country. he is using everyone else as the case go. -- skate go. apgeoat. i haven't voted for a democrat in many years. this is the bottom line, either , thef these candidates nation will be totally polarized . the after this election will be a bad day. host: we have joe calling in from sun city california. why are you voting for either? i will be voting against political correctness. who i'm voting for. trump. let's take a look at some of the other third parties that are running in this debate. , the nomineetein for the green party and they are move ---- seeking to woo some young voters. jill stein this doingjill st

some veries in but out of print black books. so he became a publisher as well. because we were talk about the 60's, when it is going on. the civil rights movement, and the black power movement. so people were hungry for information and for community, and, we provided a forum for speak attorneys come in for organizations for meet a place to organize, and, share our thoughts and strategies, so it was very well received. >> we are in the back of the bookstore which is marcus' printing company now. this operation is run by my brother billy who does the beautiful stained glass. so here is the oldest press that we have. it's not the oldest we ever had. when my dad started printing, they had to make their own type, and, so my brother learned how to do that and my sister and i got jobs like collating, and statebling, and making the tuna fish sandwiches. >> i remember when my father was able to afford a brand new press and it was an exciting time. but he got it, and he was very proud of it. so, one day, this young man comes in the store

psychologically a brilliant device to hold black people down. imagine if your black mother. how do you raise your kid? do you raise your child to stand up old and tall or do you stand up bold and tall orgy reason to get off the duck's hat and laura's head. you want him to live you probably did the later. so lynching's went on, the last one was a 1955. and then a 1955. and then in march 1981 and mobile on the. people woke up that morning on there is a body of a black man hanging from a tree. i have to see how this thing is going to work here. this is the body that was hanging from the tree. it was a white neighborhood but black people came into the neighborhood and they saw this and they started crying. they got down on their hands and knees. they knew what had happened. they knew it had been a racial lynching. a racial lynching. the police did not say that. a state senator showed up, black senator. senator. he took pictures of "the lynching" and he took a picture of cross a street of three men standing there. one was benny hayes, the top clan leader in the united klans of am

it doesn't matter, whether you are black, white, red, black or brown.your commitment to the values of this society. to the values of this society, which is of course, equality. we have a great constitution. we just need to live up to the true meaning of that constitution. >> one of the things, he wrote about how whiteness came to be. you have to cease being german or irish or jewish and often times the jewish side is swallowed by the white identification so you have to give up that other stuff for the narrative, the white narrative and ethnic narrative, when you begin to break the ethnic narrative we understand how irish people were treated in the north, probably as badly -- the only thing they have is they were not -- they have no irish need apply, women who were maids and raped freely because irish had left them. oppression -- capitalist oppression is about exploiting differences so when you lump all the white folks to gather you are saying we are going to be the same. you are the ones now who are different. what is important in this racial conversati

>> the black people don't talk to me.alk to him. >> they know, well, if we go to certain areas, he'll have at separate times it's a racially charged point and they look at him and say, "why are you on his side?" >> i'm on anybody's side. i'm on the side of the law. >> trevor: please welcome jeff ross, everybody. ( cheers and applause ) >> hi, trev. >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: you're looking very smart. this is not how people know you hodress. yesterday were on the roast, which was amazing, by the way, killed it. but you do not cress-- this is-- this is dapper. >> i'm feeling very, you know, like i'm on the "daily show" with trevor noah. >> trevor: you look like it. ( applause ) thank you for being here. let's get straight into it. i remember talking to you about this project long before you started it. >> yeah. >> trevor: you're known for roasting celebrities, but then you started off with a special way. you went into prison. >> right. >> trevor: you started roasting inmate. >> yes. >> trevor:

shop black owned. an exodus, not only are the macy's and other stories, but we need a major exodus out of these churches because a lot of african-american support caucasian pastors and the pastors never come to our community, never support our community. they are not even here today at this press conference. we need to have an exodus and major boycott of these churches that you all support. not only caucasian pastors but black pastors that take our dollar, that won't come to our community, black pastors that take our money, that won't support our children. black lives do matter. regardless of what people say, god has created us, he put us first in the garden of eden and before he created the church he created the black man in africa. we have to understand we are fed up, we are not scared but where, by any means necessary, we don't want to get to a place that change comes only by bloodshed. so it's critical that we be altruistic enough, help us embellish, enhance our community by providing us jobs, givi

black women. >> we heard that. let me back up as i answer that question. i was in a detention facility talking to girls while researching "pushout" and before i could say much of anything i came in contact with this girl who i call faith in the book and that was her opening question to me, so she said you know that song this is a man's world and i said yes and she said i don't like about song and i said i don't like it either. why don't you like it and she said because what does that say to a strong girl like me and i processed that for years thinking about what was she trying to tell me; right? i processed it with my friends and one of my friends had an interesting perspective saying she was tried to tell you to recognize her strength pitch she was telling you i see you and i want you to see me. i'm a strong girl to that's why she hit tea with that first. she's like i have feelings, do you see me and once i acknowledge that i saw her, then she was able to question whether that song was reinforcing norms in our soc

we have 94 million out of work, we have had an increase of black americans on food stamp and 20% in blackcans not participating in the workforce. obama's policies have not been good for black america. we have chronicled this a lot on the program. >> right. >> if you allow 11 million illegal immigrants in, they're competing with the 95 million americans that don't have jobs and they're driving down wages. so i would think this is an important issue for the black community. is it? >> well, it is not just an important issue for the black community, it is an important issue for everyone. you know, it shouldn't be a surprise to us that dhs is not giving out this information. we've seen that the fbi doesn't give out information if it is going to hurt hillary. we've seen that the state department doesn't give out information if it is going to hurt hillary. if something is going to help trump they're certainly going to sit on it. hillary and the democrats are pandering to members in the hispanic community the same way as they do americans of african-american descent. this is not the number one is

get away with doing in the black community to black suspects. what they would never do in another community. what you have not seen is a lot of black or white cops do this to white suspects. even though they may not be the same prejudice, there may be an embedded that i can be reckless or not as cautious. why don't we see this with black cops in other areas where let me hasten that. the thing that impressed me about the family that came to us today and appealed for justice and appealed to go immediately is that they are a very religious family. the father is a minster and a gospel singer. the son was a student of gospel. the professor is standing up for him. and yet the answer here is we think there was drugs in the car. did the policeman have x-ray vision? say there were drugs in the car. the only reason he is there is the car stalled. it broke down. it appears so did the justice system. this man is dead, suspected of what? his car breaking down? >> we mentioned too this is the height of the political season. the campaign is playing out right n

she lived in a country where there were black bus drivers, there were black teachers, there were blacklic officials. - she was expected to excel and it didn't matter that she was a girl or a boy. that's the way she was raised. and when she entered politics, her attitude reflected that. - send me to the united states congress. - in 1968, shirley chisholm is the first african-american woman to be elected to congress from the 12th congressional district in brooklyn. it was the front page of "the new york times." people have to remember what an extraordinary thing it was for her to get elected because five years earlier, african-americans in the south could not vote. - i think it was a moment of hope for some, but it was also a time of disaffection. i mean, you have assassinations of martin luther king, for example, and urban unrest. you have high unemployment, the vietnam war, you have under-education, right, and particularly in urban places but also in rural spaces, so it's not just blacks. it's poor whites, it's women, it's latinos, native americans, all kinds of people are really feeli

black man, who wrote almanacs.of the museum the museum is the size of the west wing. jefferson knew the genius of black people because he employed a lot of them. unfortunately, they were considered property by him. he did not have to know how smart black people were. they enabled him with a lifestyle to write those very letters. from henry gates this morning, a museum that helps to restore what slavery took away. took away our ability to be free, in a legal sense, it took away a number of things, it destroyed a number of institutions. what never away was the genius of black people. in terms of restoring, he will memory iffresh my there was ever anything like an approximation to the quality. i think he has a fundamental misreading of history. we can get into that whenever he comes down to howard. host: let's go to sarah with greg carr of howard university. inler: im 81, i will be 82 october. host: happy birthday. you sound great. caller: i was marching with martin luther king in the 1863, i want you to know. i have

when this doesn't yield a result they ask the women you are black. is this a black man? and one of the woman said white folks and colored folks look so much alike nowadays it is hard to tell the difference. making a long story short, it is probably too late for that, they are combing the papers and this is described as handle with care and wrapped in a piece of calico and there is a conductor who reads it and remembers a black woman on the train carrying two pack nl packages that match the description. so then there is the belief it is true and that is where you get philadelphia because she took the train from philadelphia to bucks county. >> what prompted beoth of you t take on 130-year-old murder cases? >> there was nothing to google. you hire researchers to look for stuff with you and sit in front of a microfilm machine day after day going through the newspaper when the print is smaller than today. >> yeah, it is. >> and just hope you come across the story. i am haunted by what i missed in the newspaper. you never know where the local news would be. the bottom column

scott was black.e is making it more about race, the brother of the victim is making it more about race. juan is telling us it's not about race, it's about an injustice to -- it's a cop's treating a community -- i guess could you add race into it. >> without any accountability. it's what greg was saying. the cops are the blue line. on the cop side, the cops are cops. i don't care what color they are even. it's that poor people, poor communities feel like if they have a complaint or treated abusively, nobody listens. >> here is the interesting thing. kimberly, the most obvious fact out of this is rioting doesn't persuade anybody to your idea. so you know you are not really persuading anyone. in fact, you are driving people to arm themselves. you will see gun sales go up. you will see people that own businesses learning to protect their businesses. it doesn't -- the belief that you are trying to achieve something is pure bs. >> the evidence is in the video. when you show these quote riots live, you see w

many blacks vote these people in and they do nothing for blacks.hey're making the black neighborhoods much more unsafe and they're making america safe. they're factually wrong. >> dimitri, your thoughts. >> let's stop having divisive language towards the groups, whether that's the police, the act vis or the congressional black caucus. i'm the only one here that's been a police officer and before i was a police i was a black man on the south side of chicago. let me tell you how we fix this. we get down to the root of the issues and that's the cultural differences between the law enforcement and the community. and when we bridge that cultural divide we'll see a better engagement with both of our african-american communities but as well as all communities within our country. >> tezlyn, go ahead. >> looks like you're rushing to judgment in charlotte. i was a united states police officer in the air force. you're not the only one on the panel that's been involved in law enforcement. i've been involved and lived in chicago, downtown chicago, very familiar

it's time for black boomers and black seniors to talk to young people and say look, i know you're not in love with the lady but you need to get active and get involved and we've come full circle. that is what the caucus has done, saying look, your vote for jill, that would be a problem. >> and on the other side as we pay attention to this, on the other side the talk has been and the strategy has been to say that many of those people up on the stage, the democrats, they haven't fought for you. they're not looking out for your best interests. they just want your vote. they have not done anything for you financially or politically when it comes to criminal justice and social justice and beyond and that is how they're looking to capture the vote. >> and donald trump made that exact argument just a month or so ago in michigan when he addressed the audience of black voters and he said what the hell do you have to lose? i'm told that president obama is going to address that directly, address that pessimism directly. we've heard hillary clinton do sort of a litany of what the voters have to l

>> black lives -- >> matter! >> black lives -- >> matter! >> these are some of the cries in tulsa and police videos of the incident further fuelling criticism of the case. his family spoke exclusively to cnn about terence crutcher, his four children and race and policing in america. >> the video was released i think on sunday and the first time i was able to watch it was on monday and i lost it it's the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me in my life. >> what's breaking my heart is that his youngest son, we call him little terence asked me day before yesterday "where's my dad?" because he hadn't seen him in a couple of days so in his mind he's wondering what's going on so we told him, because we are people of faith, that dad went to heaven and that kind of satisfied him for the moment. because he knows dad is in a good place. >> hillary clinton talked about your case. she called it intolerable to see something like this. what do you think that this is now a national conversation about what happened to your son? >> well, it sho

he married lots of blacks then. after the war, many blacks married over again because they did not know if the first marriage was good or not. charles davis explains it in a similar fashion. my mommy and daddy got married after freedom because they did not get the time for a wedding before. they called themselves man and wife for a long time before they were really married. willis dukes was absolute about the legitimacy of his postbellum marriage, noting we did not jump over no broom, neither. we was married like white folks with flowers and cake and everything. as far as he was concerned, because he and his bride shared the same marriage rituals as whites, their marriage had to be legitimate. former slave gus clark was also emphatic, i had three wives. i didn't have no weddings, but i married them according to law. my first two wives is dead. mildred graves recalled as a slave, her mistress had given her a cast-off dress and she stepped over a broomstick. but after the war, we had a real wedding with a preacher. th

in 1951 a 16-year-old black girl walked out of her black high school in farmville, virginia, to protest the conditions of that school. of course, in 1951 schools were segregated, so there was a black high school and a white high school x. she had seen the white high school that was just down the street and knew how much better the facilities were at the white high school. so she led a protest with her fellow students to walk out to protest the conditions of that school. and the protest attracted the attention of the naacp in richmond, virginia, who initially wasn't interested -- weren't interested in taking on her case. but they did agree to come to farmville and meet with students and their parents there. and after seeing how dedicated these parents and students were to their cause, they told them that they would be willing to take on their case. but it was on one condition, and that condition was that they would seek integration rather than equal facilities. a year earlier, in 1950, the naacp had changed direction and decided that equal facilities were never going to be enough and tha

black lives do matter. what people say, god has created us, he put us first in the garden of eden and before he created the church, he created the black man in eden in africa. so we have to understand we are fed up. we are not scared, but by any means necessary, we don't want to get to a place that change only by bloodshed. it's critical you help us embellish, enhance, our community. how do you do it? by providing us jobs. by giving us adequate education. you cannot put us in a confined area, limit our food, limit our education and don't think we're not to turn on each other. from the 1970s, chicago. the experience. they put a male rat with a female rat with two children that were mice and they put them all in the confined area. they fed 'em. the family was good. they continued to feed them, the family was good. they began to take away their water supply, their food supply and they noticed the male rat began to turn on his children. he began to turn on his wife. from that experience you have the projects th

humanity of black people. to the shows then all the different postcards that depict black men being lynched, eating watermelon in exaggerated features and just like calling us lazy but all of these different things are the work of ensuring that the humanity of black people remains visible. but but we also need to be seen in terms of like during slavery owning one of us was a status symbol and then having a speed domestic and servants was a measure of one's worth in society. so there is always the attention of like the actual act of being seen, but also having your humanity denied and that's with the concept of visibility is getting at. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> here's a look at the list for this year's national book award for nonfiction. retired army colonel interbase of itch identifies the events he believes it led to increased presence in the middle east over the last few decades in " america's war, for the greater middle east and "the firebrand and the first lady", pa

on black crime. completely genuine. with the specifics i have to listen to the "hannity" event to hear what he laid out. if he going back to aggressive stop and frisk, i don't think that has any chance of playing well. liz: trump is basically positioning himself as law and order candidate. hillary clinton is going to come out and has said some of the things he suggested is unconstitutional but the question is, how do you think this will play with black voters? >> well, i agree with jessica actually. i don't think it will play too well. i think we abs you absolutely have to hear the specifics of the policy detail of stop and frisk. maybe he is offering something totally different than we saw in new york. we have to wait for the details. i would personally be against any form of stop and frisk. i think we should let probable cause narrative play out. me as individual being from chicago, there is black on black crime 100%. we want officers to secure those many neighborhoods but individual like me who ca

, then it must admit blacks to the existing facility. rawn james: they say your honor we're not asking you to overturn plessy versus ferguson. we would not ask you to do that. we know this is a trial court. we are asking you to enforce plessy v ferguson. narrator: under his close supervision, marshall joined houston in the use of exhaustive research to confront and surprise university of maryland president raymond pearson, as well as the dean of the law school, with questions they could not answer. rawn james: is there a law school for the colored citizens to go to? the answer is no. therefore maryland is violating the rights of its colored citizens under plessy v ferguson. the judge shocks everybody in the courtroom. houston and marshall's argument prevailed. and donald murray was admitted to the university of maryland law school. that case showed that the equalization strategy, as houston put into effect, could work. narrator: what was also working was houston and marshall's success as a legal team. rawn james: it's tough to imagine tw

versus the bad black eye. not participating with colin kaepernick as a way to justify attacking him for what he's doing. >> well, you know, joy, it kind of reminds me that riveting documentary, oj made in america where o.j. simpson at one point was the most celebrated black athlete in the united states and really the first of the crossover and he almost purposely didn't take political stances at a time we saw ali and the olympics, the track runners who held their robert carlos -- juan carlos, their fist in the air. i don't think there is an obligation for every athlete to speak out and do so. but i think as americans when one does, a., we should ask ourselves why are they taking this position other than just be quick to condemn. and to your question about what happens on our show, you know, i think what stumps a lot of people is the personal offense they feel about what they see as a disrespect of the national anthem and our country. and granted, that is an element of this you can't take away. but joy, fundame

i see black and white. i see black and white. for those, who did not believe?i can't say -- this is on c-span. raise your hand if you do not believe in preparation. thank you for being honest. i may not agree with you but i say let's be honest. >> reparations is not just of the writing a check to all black lives. >> indeed the organization hass commission on representing of which i sent and we have ags 10-point plan for repair. i said institute for the black world, there's a commission on reparations of which they set along with a bunch of other folks. their names are not escaping the. it's called crs. i'll tell you what that means later.r. but in any case, the 10-point plan for repair is not just about money. it's about repairing institutions. what really happened is we lost visitation. money for our eight cpus which has never been a properly funded. are banks that have gone out of business delivered been pushed out of business. it's not about let -- >> can't hear you. >> it's more about repairing a community that has been torn up or get th the the i want to s

black women are a part of this black hospital movement. many of you know that we blackly have a so-called hospital here on florida a&m university's campus that was one of the most significant in this region, but we are also looking hospital, which was one of the most significant black-owned and clinical hospitals in chicago, illinois. time wethen, by the moved quickly across time, do we get to more african-american women practicing medicine? one of the figures we have to talk about moving out of the the -- by this time in early 20th century, it is really now around the period of the depression with dr. virginia alexander. an virginia alexander was african-american physician, a social activist, a quaker. alexander was one of seven african-american women practicing in philadelphia in 1931. she ran what we call the hospital run health home. some of you today are may be familiar with more holistic forms of health homes or birthing cottages. that is kind of what the health center was. it did not just focus on women's health care, and focused on

with groups that have black groups that have been supporting him, and black republicans.m know what our agenda specifically is because we actually live in the inhe were city. unlike some of the minutesters across the countries that, you know, they live on the suburb or the outskirt of the inner city. >> it is an interesting point. let's see, perhaps his complain and hel hold that town hall you are talking about. a. let me ask you about some remarks that struck me. he called for a quote civil rights agenda of our time. he talked about focusing on education reform in detroit, which desperately needs it. he said he would include a focus on jobs in the black community. he said he would make this city the economic envy of the world talking about rebuilding factories and schools. are those enough specifics from him? or would you like to hear more specifics on how he would do that? >> well, you know, his first 100 days i would actually like for him to pass an executive order eliminating the reauthorization process for blacks regarding black voters' right act of 1964. so when you

the correctional black caucus pushed for them.t is a mistake to talk about racism simply because there is a disproportionate impact. it's relevant but what is really important is the drug war is a failure. not opine whether there's an intentionality there. >> you're kbanodding as he is speaking. >> because he spoke the truth. >> when i was watching the video i was thinking the powder verse this is crack cocaine, was that a racist thing or crack was just so scary to everyone? >> let's be pragmatic. no, it was not racism in any significant sense and black communities were behind it but that's never going to get through to certain people. there's a more important point which is simply if there was no war on drugs and a young black man who went to a lousy school, there would be no black market tempting you to do legal work versus illegal work. it's like a car you pull out of the house. those men would have no choice but to go and emphasize community colleges and get legal work. as it stands now they have a really ease a eway to do som

not just black people shot by other blacks, not just white people, but all people. when i was mayor of new york, i went to every shooting that happened that was serious. and when i was u.s. attorney, i went to every shooting that happened. geraldo may have been with the police a lot, but i've been at the deathbed of 24 police officers and one of my cousins died in the line of duty. so you can't tell me that this is not about a black of leadership at the very, very top. this is happening because of eight years of barack obama and his failure to speak tonight is a tremendous testament to his total lack of leadership. >> mr. mayor, i've got to put you on hold again. >> sean, i've got to get off now. i've got to get up early and i've said enough. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i love geraldo but i think buying into this is very dangerous and it's just going to continue this. we have to tell people the truth. >> all right, mr. mayor, thank you for your time tonight and your insight andrience. it's much appreciated. joining us on the phone is the governor of the state of nor

black lives.ck men are not hyper masculine, they are not here to start trouble. my comment is, if the police are ,o scared when they draw guns they need to get into another job or another profession. if you're intimidated by a big black dude, get another job. you can't be scared doing your police job. host: ok, thanks. guest: anthony speaks to something we highlighted in a number of our reports. there is research that shows --t african-americans african american boys are seen as five to seven years older than their actual age. tamir rice,tion of the 12-year-old who was shot and killed in cleveland, ohio playing with a bb gun -- when he was shot, one of the callers called in and said i see an african-american young man. i believe around 18 years old. when the officer showed up and shot him in less than two seconds, he immediately didn't see a 12-year-old boy with a bb gun, he saw an 18-year-old black man with a weapon. that ohio is an open carry state. the should have gone complete with different.
