floyd flake, also david remnick and raina kelly. i'm glad to have you all here to learn about the teachable moment on this and reflect on the huge amount of attention in the last couple days. i begin with you floyd flake. tell me, what should we learn from this? >> i think what we learned is that there are still some remnants of the past and that those remnants are reflective in moments like these because persons my age, 64, somewhere around my age, the experiences of our past are so deeply imbedded that when an incident like this happens, it comes back up. it becomes another time when you say we thought we were past this and here it is again. and if it can happen to dr. gates, then it can happen to me. it can happen to my children. and so it becomes another one of those moments of fear. i think the big problem here is the identification and the way that the neighbors saw the person trying to get into his own house. i think that's the beginning of it all. and i don't know that if that had been a white person trying to get into that
