england and the americas the group is made of slave traders operating out of places like barbados in jamaica, boasting the wealthiest men in british america. many of them actually are absentee landlords who live in england and manage their plantations from afar. >> host: male children might go to military or to own the land, the middle child, the next youngest will go to the college. >> guest: they station their children at various points. that is how we should think about them. these family networks, somewhat for instance the new york slave traders who i studied for a long time will have the main warehouses in new york city, in manhattan but also to the caribbean. and establish them there and send another sent to england, usually bristol or london and from those various points they can manage their operations more efficiently, move money and goods more efficiently and gives them the chance to make strategic changes in the plans for these extended shipping voyages so there are all sorts of reasons why they do this but the colonial schools quickly begin also to turn to the population of incre

they took actually people, descendants of slaves from jamaica, and they had one woman who traced her mitochondria back to a particular tribe in west africa which was nice, i mean, quite an interesting thing to do. and they then took her to this tribe in west africa, and, oh, my people, my people. [laughter] and it's nonsense. >> host: i saw that. >> guest: it's from mitochondria. the rest of her genes could have come from absolutely anywhere. probably came from russia and all sorts of places. >> host: uh-huh. so it doesn't make you weep i -- >> guest: shouldn't make you weepy, no. it's interesting, but perhaps the most weepy message is we're all cousins, we're all fairly close cousins. we are closely related to each other. >> host: you invented the word meam which is now very much a part of the language, and i think you said some 30 books have been written with the word -- >> guest: did i, yes? yes, i think it's true. >> host: what does meam mean, and how did you come to conceive of that word? >> guest: it's a unit of cultural inheritance, and i think of it as the cultural equivalent

he has homes on fifth avenue, in jamaica, long island, and bedford, new york, as well as the 17,000 acrerado where he spends time with his wife and three grown children. he also spends time and lots of money on his pet passion. >> cars are fun and toys and they offer you a different experience. to me, they are works of art. >> this 2010 promotional video announces a paris exhibit of some of lauren's 60 vintage cars. >> he once told me his car collection is something he does first, beuse he loves cars and responds to them. and he does not collect art. unlike most people in his income bracket, he says, "you cannot drive a painting." and he loves the idea of being able to take any of his cars and drive it around on a sunday afternoon. >> paul goldberger says that lauren changed some of the car's original colors. >> he looks at something and says, "this is beautiful but it could be even better. i want to make it even more perfect." >> for 40 years, ralph lauren's pursuit of perfection has kept him firmly in charge as ceo and chairman of the board of the company that wears his name. >> i thin

have less upward mobility and we are are down there as president obama mentioned with brazil and jamaica. this is not the american dream that everybody aspires to, and i think this is certainly a message that needs to be put out there. >> clarence paige, susan, thank you very much. >> you can watch chris matthews' exclusive interview with president obama, and that's at 7:00 eastern on msnbc. >>> nbc news has learned that former new york police commissioner bill brattin is returning to the job he had decades ago. the mayor is expected to make the announcement in new york. bratton held the top cop position in new york, and los angeles. he is also an nbc and msnbc.com contributor. the crime rate in new york city under his watch went down. we'll keep an eye on that. >> an american teacher in texas has been shot to death in libya. it happened in ben ga gassy. a former principal at the school said the teacher was killed while jogging near his home. no one has claimed responsibility, but we will keep you posted on any developments. >>> brand new numbers on obama care are encouraging, but is it

in fact, statistics show not only that our levels of income inequality rank near countries like jamaicargentina, but that it is harder today for a child born here in america to improve her station in life than it is for children in most of our wealthy allies, countries like canada or germany or france. they have greater mobility than we do, not less. the idea that so many children are born into poverty in the wealthiest nation on earth is heart-breaking enough. but the idea that a child may never be able to escape that poverty because she lacks a decent education or health care or a community that views her future as their own, that should offend all of us. and it should compel us to action. we are a better country than this. so let me repeat, the combined trends of increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the american dream, our way of life and what we stand for around the globe. and it is not simply a moral claim that i'm making here. there are practical consequences to rising inequality and reduced mobility. for one thing, these trends are bad for our

right there at jfk, we have the air train that leaves jfk airport every day multiple times going to jamaica station. there's no operator on it. it's all computer controlled. so we need to take advantage of the automation that's available to us and apply it to our rail system in this country. >> it is something i think that will be implemented over the next few years across the country, at least in part. i'm not sure replacing the conductors and engineers on a system like metro north is what people have in mind, but they do have in mind some kind of stopgap for this positive system. talk to me about what kind of monitoring systems are now in place for the engineers, for the people who run these railroads. there's the black box, so-called black boxes, the recorders, there were two of them on this train. what about video cameras? is anyone taking pictures of what's going on inside these trains? >> not that i know of. i don't believe anybody has got a video system on board. they do review the operation of the train and there are people that ride the train, safety inspectors, if you will, to mak
