parents this idea fatherless families are responsible we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to scapegoat black people in black culture and we're now talking about in florida terry crackdown in terms of law and order attacks on civil liberties by government which promised the defense of liberty is against the attacks from new labor and even as you say a tax on the idea that social media should be closed down which didn't even happen in a lot of authoritarian regimes when they were all poisons going about against them you mentioned david starkey that you're involved in the debate. he. mentioned the wants of the come blacks in other courses there has been talk of multiculturalism being the failure of it being the cause of these riots do you give any kind of credence to the argument that the about the racial issue coming into play in these riots let me be clear about david starkey what he said was a very racist this was an attempt to scapegoat people this of a whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds the common factor with all of them is poverty and unemployment and again i

>> david walker was an advocate in the 1830's. he was a free black man who wrote a pamphlet called "david walker's appeal" which basically called for black saves to a price. -- to uprise. the pamphlet was distributed in the south. it was illegal to have a copy of the pamphlet. let me read this. there is quite a difference in those two views. >> the very first quote in the book is something that has been with me most of my life. it is from a langston hughes poem. "i, too, am american." it is very straight forward. as many african-americans have said for hundreds of years, this project that we call america has been a collaborative one. some of that collaboration has been forced, but we cannot honestly traced the history of this country without including the indigenous people who were here, the africans who were brought over, the agents who came over from china, people from all around the world who, at every step along the way, both the political, economic, social, and cultural systems that we live under. what we have not done is always acknowledge thos

>> mccain got the same share of the black vote as david duke did in louisiana, 4%. obama will get 90% of the african-american vote, but it will not be as energized or cop out in the numbers and enthusiasm it did. >> not at energized, but they'll be energized enough because what will happen over next year, a lot of them will take personally. >> they will stay home. what about you? >> i think they'll vote perhaps not in the same numbers as they did the first time around. >> over 90%? i don't think it will be 90%. but he'll get a think -- he won't get the same kind of percentage of support, it will be very close. >> i think it will be over 90%, but the turnout won't be as great. three, norway's ally here is agony. >> the combination of the bomb explosion here with the shooting at the youth camp of the labor party, their own labor party, that makes this really, really a serious attack. >> norway last week was the scene of gruesome terror. a lone wolf terrorist carried out a bombing and a shooting spree attack that killed 76 people. the perpetrator is anders breivik, a n

i have a friend called david manning who is a black british member of parliament and from his point of view it came out of no where. he felt his community was a great deal the last 20 years, that race relations were much better. he would have said if you asked him a month ago something like this would happen, he would say definitely not. it's something from the most. so it's surprising. i think we need to take some time to understand this before we start rushing around coming up with some reasons. >> charlie: how do you police has handled it? >> it's very difficult to say. obviously they did not have enough officers on the ground when it began. we ended up with serious loofting taking place means you don't have enough police officers on the ground. another thing that's surprising is a lot of things happening through twitter and othe forms of social media. in a sense we were arab sung in london. >> charlie: how did social media affect these circumstances. >> you could organize people and gather them so much more quickly than the police would prefer to expect and keep up with. once the w

david walter was an advocate in the 1830's. freed black man who wrote a pamphlet, which called. we were in school. he condemned slavery in the harshest terms and wrote a pamphlet. it was distributed in the south. it become illegal to have a copy. >> let me read this. you quote this, the 76-page familiar flet called for nothing short of full liberation of african-americans. the pamphlet also spoke against colonization. america is more our country than it is whites. the greatest riches in all american have written from you are blood and tiers will they drive us from our property and homes which we have loned -- built with our blood. >> a view that says i too am america. very straight forward. what he's saying as david walker writes and as millions have said for hundreds of years this has been a collaborative one. >> who we haven't done is always acknowledged and valued those contributio contributions. >> who was elizabeth? >> fascinating story. she turned out to be the best friend of mary lincoln. she was a black woman who grew up in missouri who was enslaved and eventually was ab

from moscow the british prime minister is blaming gangs of black brief loans and even social networks for inciting violence in the country david cameron also said parts of society are sick but locals in the affected areas say they neglected by the government but with a sense of insecurity growing on the streets people are now forced to take matters into their own hands as laura emmett reports from london. to groups are called surely a warning to looters if you come out to enfield tonight you'd better be in disguise at the first sign of trouble this is what happens. around five hundred mainly young men chased down the road after police. ready to drive troublemakers out of town. despite the mall atmosphere a large crowd of young men are out for justice there's been no trouble so far most ordinary people out to protect their communities a lot of people are here to help there obviously are some people that i can to do the opposite effect begin to get everywhere very much started checking out stories of what young children not so well but children on the streets of this is happening if there's not enough police then move help then

and i think we have that act started quite a bit of controversy now david i know you can't see it from where you are but it's just black outlines of the president saluting you don't see any or means nothing at all completely sensitized photo this photo has been a cause for complete controversy yet the underlying reasons but beyond the war the underlying issues surrounding the war the actual war coverage has not been a source of controversy what is wrong with the media picture here but the issue is that this is a controversy and it's absurd that it's a controversy but it's a controversy in a country that wants to hide everything about you know world consequences that we're showing you pictures of the silhouette of the president saluting the idea that that's controversial he's only a reflection on a larger culture that hasn't been willing to look at the real consequence of war it's even more controversial still flag draped coffins even though we don't know exactly identity it was in those pockets and it's even more controversial just to show what actually happens on the battlefield there's a big controversy of a couple y

he was going to see that roosevelt promoted a black colonel to general in the united states army. that was benjamin david senior. he was the first african-american general in the army and was going to announce that roosevelt was creating this training program for african americans in tuskegee, alabama. i found a memo where he figured out when the press deadline would be for the weekly black newspapers on the last day before the 1940 election and he released this press announcement that roosevelt was doing all these things for african-americans just hours before that deadline so he guaranteed the top headline on every black newspaper in the united states on the day of the election was going to be roosevelt create programs for blacks, promotes first black general, all these things. very astute political. there are moral reasons for doing this. there are political reasons for doing this. you don't have to be too much of the senate to believe roosevelt did this more for political reasons than for anything else but he did create the program and tuskegee. that created some divisions within the african-american

david gregory thank you very much. >> thanks, andrea. >> the congressional black caucus called on its members to stand against the debt bill and force more republicans to vote yes. the final vote in the house yesterday fractured that group. elijah cummings is a member of the congressional black caucus and was a no vote on the bill. congressman great to see you. earlier i was talking to chuck fattah from philadelphia. there were 22 no votes and ten yes votes among the caucus members. another division among the progressive caucus and hispanic caucus. there was more anger on if left side of the equation than tea party conservatives. explain your vote and why you were so strongly against it. >> i was strongly against it some of the things just said by brian, we've got a situation here where as i see it, i don't think one penny is going to come from revenue. i think the american people want a balance in this situation. and they did not get it the republicans keep talking about what it was that the voters voted for in november. they voted for us to work together. we said no compromise here. the other thing i'm concerned abo

and looting david cameron promising that there would be raids to try to hunt down some of the people responsible for the violence and it could be a clampdown on social media and the use of black would be made. did you hear that last part there there could be a clampdown on social media let me fill you in on the details here british prime minister david cameron was addressing parliament today about the riots and he was discussing the role that twitter facebook and blackberry messenger plate when he said that he's working with the police with the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services as in to shut them off as an censor them he then added that the free flow of information can be used for good but it also can be used for ill geo pain if you really just occur or did that just occur to you mr prime minister you know unfortunately that's the way the world works if you're going to live in a country that abides by the principles of free speech so port's the free flow of information then you have to support that free flow of information at all times you can just pick and choose based on wheth

of a modest slope lay the tomb of king solomon, son of david and once ruler of the kingdom of israel. large white alabaster stones canopied with blackarchaeological tenting protruded regally from the otherwise sparse landscape. it appeared the king and his sunflower foot soldiers were posthumously observing our every move. though we would have only 20-30 fans in attendance, it was clear i was pitching for a much larger audience. [laughter] warming up in the bullpen or, rather, the side of the hill and left, i noticed max coa nelson strolling down the line to get loose as well. evidently, today's battle for second place would feature a high school history teacher versus a 6-8 flame-throwing dominican. if pa guy showed up, i hoped he wouldn't announce it as such. in the first inning, both teams scored a run. ours was an rbi single from fish, and theirs came on a rodriguez home run. he was one of the top two or three hitters in the league. he exuded professionalism which was no surprise given his minor league experience with the boston red sox. great player or not, rodriguez's first homer was cheap. i threw him an 0-1 fastball away whi

inside the thousands of churches across the city i imagine the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of david and goliath. moses and ferro, the christians in the lions' den. these stories, survival and freedom and hope became our story. this is barack obama. my story. our tears until this by church on this bright day seen once more a vessel carrying the story of a people. obama was baptized at that church is a crips could -- christian. to say that this man was damning america with that sermon were he said that, he was invoking the jewess profits who loved israel. he would call than judgment on the people they love when they fell from grace. he was -- to say that is a travesty of the truth and a great injustice, and that is why i invited him on. >> you just gave them the sound bite right there. [applause] [applause] i'm afraid you have done it now. [laughter] of want to ask you to more questions and then it will open up this year is the 100th anniversary of the birth. we are reserving this. came out of the great depression who people under the age of 40 don't remember, maybe 50. but people my

the school's black and white video came in second among 116 that entered the "lots to give" contest. >>> san francisco outside land festival kicked off today. as david stevenson reports tonight, it brings more than just music to san francisco. >> reporter: crowds gather on the opening day of the festival. >> i love "grateful dead." >> reporter: people are expected to gather for gourmet food and wine. >> we have 100 wines served all from around the bay area, california area. a very local event. [ laughter ] >> reporter: for vendors an opportunity to get their wears in front of an audience. >> outside lands because it gives us acses to 180,000 people that i can not get in my wine bars. -- access to 180,000 people that i can not get in my wine bars.

but prime minister david cameron defended it saying it sends a tough message or bennett reports now from london. four years behind bars for the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kenan were banged up for inciting disorder on facebook no one turned up after their invitation to riot which they later said was a drunken joke but now they face sentences even tougher than most looters and i worry is that it is an imbalance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous bodily harm for holding someone up with a naive or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes that governments encourage courts to dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one denying bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charged
