when jackie robinson integrated baseball, that was a great move.u saw african-american players almost everywhere. if you look now, mark, what's amazing is that most players don't have a lot of african-american players. they have one or two. i'm not talking about other people who might be black in complexion but other parts of the world. black boys are not playing base paul. they are not involved in major league baseball. they are involved in football, basketball, other sports but not baseball. i think we need to change that. i took one of the 1921 tulsa race ride survivors it a boston red sox baseball game. he said to me, professor ogletree, this is strange. i said, what are you talking about, mr. clark? he said, i'm looking at the audience. i said, yes, just throw the pitch. he says these are white folks. for him, over 100 years old, been to all the ball parks. remembers the 1928 teams playing all black, he was amazed this is a majority white audience at a white stadium. that made an impact on him. i think we have to figure out what we do now to m

you guys all hear jackie robinson, you know, he's all famous for not fighting back. well, this is a whole unit of them. and when we say not fighting back, i mean, i'm not dissing jackie robinson, but basically, there's a huge difference between people yelling at you from the stands and actually getting beaten up on the street which is what happened to these guys. and they were specifically ordered, do not fight back. because if you do, the unit's not going to be sent overseas, and we're going to be disgraced. and they held pack -- held back with superhuman discipline. and finally they got a chance to get overseas. and then they were sent to dig ditches. and that was infuriating. and they finally, finally lobbied to be put into combat. but here's the row. during the first world war, the united states was kind of late to the game. and by this point the british and french really wanted reinforcements and they kept saying to the americans, oh, good, you're in the war, come on, give us reenforcements, and general pershing said, no, these units will fight as an american un

everybody talks about jackie robinson, but who was the first nfl black player? who was the first nba black player? most people don't know that answer, but they are the ones that open the door and that's essentially what he has done for his cause right here even without playing a down. >> yeah, he certainly has a side story to his incredible story. this guy wants to play football, no question about it. thanks, guys, appreciate it. coming up an army paratrooper receiving the nation's top honor. sergeant kyle white will be only the seventh living recipient of the medal of honor. hear about his extraordinary and selfless actions in his own words right after this. >> hi, mom, just wanted to say i love you a lot and i miss you so much. i will be home very soon. love you. humans. even when we cross our "ts" and dot our "i's", we still run into problems. that's why liberty mutual insurance offers accident forgiveness with our auto policies. if you qualify, your rates won't go up due to your first accident. because making mistakes is only human, and so are we. we also of

you guys all here of jackie robinson. deny he is famous for not fighting back. this as a whole unit of that. when we say not fighting back, i'm not dissing jackie robinson but basically there's a difference between people yelling at you from the stands and actually getting beaten up on the streets which is what happened to these guys. they were ordered to not fight back. because if you do they will blame everything on you and the unit will not be sent overseas and we will be disgrace. they held back with superhuman discipline. and, finally, they got a chance to get overseas. and then they were sent to dig ditches, and that was infuriating. i finally, finally lobbied to be put into combat. here's the rub. during the first world war the united states was kind of late to the game. and by this point the british and french really wanted we enforcement. they kept saying to the americans, good, you're in the war, give us reinforcements. general pershing said no. we are not just going to feed america's piecemeal into the british and french. these units will fight as an

all i'm saying is that when you are a pioneer, whether you're jackie robinson -- when you're a pioneerere's a certain responsibility that's going to come with being a pioneer. a certain weight that you've got to carry. >> that i get. but then the person who's doing -- who has the hate in their heart or the bigotry in their heart or the homophobia in their heart has to be made to see that the way they think and feel is wrong. >> right. and i think that's an important point to pause on and also goes to whether we learned from jackie robinson. he endured a tremendous amount. as we go down this road, can we as a society stand up and actually ask people who are breaking barriers to endure less because they are breaking barriers. that's parity of this. bill roden and jonathan capehart, thank you for joining me. there is something strange happening in southern politics. patricia murphy will explain. stay with us.

the moment november 7th, 1991, was almost a jackie robinson moment for the nba. magic johnson put a public face on the hiv virus. and the way david stern handled that was magnanimous. the way magic handled it. magic went on to fund hiv centers in which people from lower-income neighborhoods could afford drugs that he got when he first acquired the hiv virus. this is a person who led a broader commercial life, returned to many neighborhoods in this country where nobody's wanted to put their business. so for a guy who was seen in a deposition ten years ago, to say that he didn't want black people living in his buildings, to criticize magic and say he doesn't have enough -- it's unconscionable. >> stephanie, let me play the x exchange that donald sterling had on the whole issue of magic johnson and his efforts on behalf of minorities. >> he lulled me into waiting a week. you know what i mean, don't do anything, understand -- >> you're saying he told you not to say anything? >> yeah, don't do anything, i know the girl, don't do anything, i'll help you. i'm waiting an

"when branch rickey recruited jackie robinson, he had to say, 'boy, this guy had better be great. he had to be better than anybody else.'" frankel saying, "my mother used to say to me, 'max, you're a jew. you've got to be better than anybody else.' now major black ballplayers are routinely scolded, traded, kicked out, and nobody calls it racism.'" racism.'" why would somebody say -- a mother say, 'max you're a jew. you've got to be better than anybody else?' >> guest: because jews couldn't be doctors for the longest time in america, couldn't go to law school, have been used throughout history as scapegoats. they are disproportionately and admirably represented in the united states as civic leaders and as intellectual leaders. and it creates a lot of resentment as assimilated as they are. max frankel came from germany. remember that. and he realized he was a german-speaking boy when he came to new york city. and he has been struggling all of his life. it might account for his ponderousness and his seriousness that he has had to struggle. and his mother knew full well that he was a

jackie robinson. that was a bigger thing. >> i'm glad you said that. i agree with you. >> a lot of people -- jason colins is playing for the nets. he hasn't played much in the playoffs. nobody is talking about he's a gay player. not how many minutes did he play or not. not immediately. >> it takes time. >> if he plays a couple of seasons we'll forget. >> he's anxiously awaiting the day we stop talking about that he's gay. >> he embraced it. he's a role model for people. he just is. >> thank you, kosta. we'll are have you back to talk about your pete rose book. >> sounds good. >> the political battle over benghazi continues. is it really a strategy the gop wants to use going into the mid-term elections? we'll talk about it after the break. new information about the victims of tragic hot air balloon accident in virginia. yes sir. alright. let's share the news tomorrow. today we failrly busy. tomorrow we're booked solid. we close on the house tomorrow. i want one of these opened up. because tomorow we go live... it's a day full of promise. and often, that

do you think this is akin to a jackie robinson moment? >> absolutely.rshed moment. not just for gay americans like myself, but for all americans. it breaks down the stereotype that gay people can't play sports or perhaps they're wearing their sexuality on their sleeves, whatever is the case. this is a historic moment, because i believe he was chosen because he is a phenomenal athlete first, who just so happens to be african-american and happens to be gay. that's the way it should be. >> interestingly, to you, perry, for this, the miami dolphins' don jones tweeted, omg, and horrible. those tweets have since been deleted. the dolphins general manager said he was disappointed in the comment. the team plans to, quote, sit down with don jones and address the comments and handle it appropriately. so perry, is this just one person here? do you think jones' comments might represent the feelings of more players in the nfl, players who michael sam would have to come up against if he makes the final cut? >> we ultimately don't know. you only have one person making

it was great that jackie robinson integrated the majors. that didn't mean everything went away.at we have a black president right now. that doesn't make everything go away. it's so interesting you read that particular paragraph because that was the one we fought the most over internally. but i think it's a very, very important point to make, that we aren't talking about a class-based thing here. or an income-based thing. we're talking about something that has to do with racism and that injures african-americans of all economic classes. >> so i want you to, professor katznelson, frame this historically for us. you make the case of reparations in the same week mtv releases a poll saying millennials think basically race is kind of over so you have a majority of millennials saying people should just get past race and having a black president means that things are okay. what do they need to know about history to help improve this? >> first, to note that the millennials who say that have a particular, very special set of experiences and contacts which are, alas, not representative of
