african-american males who tend to have the highest unemployment rate. >> host: next call for author ellis coseu're on the line. >> caller: yes, thank you, mr. cose for your candor and insight. i feel both refreshed and encouraged. the framing of my question is the racism in america is underground and it's become more since the election of the first black president. you mentioned the three groups, generations, fighters, extremists, and believers. what role or detriplet or benefit has religion played with the black racial dilemma in america? >> guest: that's an another interesting question. my book doesn't take it on, but the black tradition is important. if you look at the leadership institutions that came from the civil rights movement, many of them, and certainly dr. king's southern christian leadership conference were rooted in the church, were rooted in religious organizing or at least for organizing by the ministers. the future, i think, that that seems to be shaping up to be less of a factor and that we seem to be being moved from a more just straight political organizing opposed to movem

recently we visited ellis cose in new york city to see where he wrote. >> guest: i am ellis cose and welcome to my writing studio on the upper west side. it made sense to me several years ago to make a separation in my work environment and my home environment particularly now that i have a daughter who is age at this point. i come here to work and go home to be at home. this is where i actually do most of my writing. i spend probably at least four or five hours a day, not more, more or less in this position. depending on what projects i am working on this whole place is actually devoted to various kinds of work projects and various work products scattered around the place. this is from my latest book. we did hundreds of interviews and surveys. here we have everyone from corey booker, the mayor of newark, and a professor at princeton and some ordinary people. john lewis, congressman. jesse jackson, former -- the head of push. the head of the naacp. this is one of many books that were compiled in putting together "the end of anger". because i thought it was important to transcribe most

thank you for this opportunity to learn from ellis cose.i've seen a lot in the labor tea party mirrors are chuckling about being seen as racist when they say that is not their intention at all. is it fair to say to them, good intentions are not enough. for example, we have a new book by michelle alexander, the new jim crow, which makes a good case for all of us to work for social justice. >> guest: i'm familiar with michelle's book and i think it's a vital contribution, and i think, but it's not an examination of the tea party. it's a look at what is happening in our society that has caused us to start incarcerating and keep incarcerating so many african-american males. and i think that is a serious problem. i think a very strict problem that we need to be focused on as a society. the problem with categorizing the tea party is you cannot categorize them simply because it's just too white of an umbrella. there's lots of people who are drawn by various parts of tea party rhetoric who decide that they're sympathetic to the tea party, or even d
