i want to agree with what jamel jamelle said though.ed to the voting rights act five months later. if we applaud and stop at the charleston massacre leads merely to doing something 50 years late, then we can't be satisfied with that. >> the argument you are going to get from republicans is expanding medicaid has nothing to do with the confederate flag. voting rights -- >> rights act -- >> we have had legislative solutions to the problem of segregation. so when there are no problems like that left to solve it leaves us thinking everything is okay but of course we are suggesting that it is not and there is a legacy to that separation. nick hillary clinton just said moments ago at an event we can't hide from hard truths on race. we have own them and change them. the flag shouldn't fly there or anywhere. we know that hillary clinton has been speaking directly to young people and people of color. it's been a major plank. this would seem to be a good issue for her to own. and i wonder what you think about the sort of froserocity with which sh

don and jamel. you can check don out later tonight and he'll be back at 10:00 eastern.e to check that out. coming so much. >>> the white house says the killing of al qaeda number two leader is the major blow to the terror group and a series of successful strikes. is it a case of good intel or is it just good fortune? i've smoked a lot and quit a lot but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. making a fist something we do to show resolve. to defend ourselves. to declare victory. so cvs health provides expert support and vital medicines. at our infusion centers or in patients homes. we help them fight the good fight. cvs health, because health is everything. you total your brand new car. nobody's hurt,but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a car? now if you h

. >> jamel, you tweeted earlier the definition of terrorism in america is white supremacist attacks on the only way to understand this shooting. tell us what you meant by that. >> if you look immediately after the civil war, reconstruction beginning 1866 to 1877 you see the emergence of groups like the ku klux klan of a whole host of confederate nostalgic groups aiming to restore the status quo through violence against african-americans. this continues throughout the 19th century. and through kind of the early 20th century as well. the unifying fact of all these groups by any definition were terrorist groups is that they saw black autonomy as a threat and used violence as an attempt to limit it. i think when you are looking at the history of american terrorism, in large part that is that history of extremist violence against african-americans. so what's so tragic about this incident in charleston is it lies in this long and sort of ignoble tradition of that kind of violence. >> you hive no doubt this was an act of terror? >> i have no doubt whatsoever. not only -- i'll put it this way.

jamel, your reaction to the dancing of the republican candidates this weekend. >> well, like joan said it's funny to watch candidates going to weigh in to a whole host of things and i should say if either of them were president, they would be asked to weigh in on things like this. this is very much, the question is very much part of being president of the united states running for president of the united states. i'll say real quickly in romney's defense, in 2007 he did actually speak out against the confederate flag. he didn't say anything last time around but sort of it's been in the history to a pose the flying of the flag over the state house. >> he has taken the position but did not campaign on it and certainly didn't say it during the south carolina primary last time but he has said it earlier. jamil is absolutely correct. talking about saying it earlier, i must give credit. dr. ben wrote an op criticizing his colleagues in the republican party for not calling what happened in south carolina racism and when we know find out that the -- and let we show some of that there are people

. >> i want to get jamelle bouie in here to respond to that.t i think might sur priefz people american opinions on the con federal flag. it's an online survey conducted by survey monkey. it's a fairly reputable way of collecting data. it says 49% see it as a symbol of racism 49% as a symbol of southern pride. a split right down the middle. jamelle, ben jones is making the heritage argument saying 70 million americans trace their ancestry through the confederacy. this means something important to them. what's your response to what you just heard? >> films and books and movies can have multiple interpretations, but i think historical symbols and i think particularly standards for armies tended -- their meanings are rooted in the histories behind them. the confederacy was founded on the preservation and expansion of slavery. the confederate army fought to defend thoepzse ideals. while i have no problem and in some ways respect people and honor their ancestors and their valor, we can't just erase history. the history of the confederate battle flag

the hosts of espn's "his and hers," michael and jamel.hank you for having us. >> i want to hear from both of you, ladies first. who's going to win the nba finals and why? >> wow. right out of the gate. for me this has been a really difficult decision. i mean mike and i have talked about it extensively, clearly during the layoff. i'm going to go with the cavs. that's strictly for one reason -- lebron james. he's the best player -- our best player on the planet. and it's actually a tough choice because golden state by every metric is the better team. but i think the cavs have the best player and considering how he's drug this team throughout the playoffs despite injuries, some other shortcomings why abandon him now? >> dragging scrubs though that's -- a better team around lebron than people want to give him credit for. i've got the warriors in six games. jemele mentioned it. if are you checking off a box for advantages, every box is in the warrior's favor except the one -- warriors' favor except the one that says lebron. they have curry, pr

jamelle writes wonderfully about this.go the site of the famous 1919 race riot started because supposedly black swimmers crossed the invisible racial line at the beach. this is a public beach black swimmers crossed the racial line and whites responded and rioting took place in my hometown for many days. people are killed and injured. that was a hundred years ago. there's a long history of the intimatecy of water and whether it is a pool or a beach of causing certain kinds of racial confrontations. >> it gives us a window into the national psyche when it comes to the subject of race. we have to leave it there. thank you for your time. you can, of course catch the last word weekdays at 10:00 p.m. here on msnbc. >>> coming up five days after two convicted murders broke free from a prison in upstate new york, police are searching homes door-to-door today near the prison. we'll have more on that next. out of 42 vehicles based on 6 different criteria, why did a panel of 11 automotive experts name the volkswagen golf motor trend'

jamel, there was a moment today when the casket carrying the reverend was going through the charleston columbia south carolina, the casket was going in front of the confederate flag flying there in front of the state capital on the grounds, they haven't removed that flag when you see that what goes through your mind? >> it emphasizes how important it is to take done that flag. that a man who was killed because of racism, a man who was killed by a white supremacist, his body shouldn't have to pass by a symbol of white supremacy and symbol of that racism. i think just the imagery really does emphasize how much it is vital for us to remove the flag vital for the south carolina legislature to agree to do that and why it is important that state after state after state in the south is saying publicly we will take down this flag. it is we are far past the time to have done that. >> yeah don, you want to weigh in on that? >> i completely agree. we keep arguing back and forth -- should the flag come down should it not? as i have been saying on the network for the past couple of days there is no

. >> hannah jamel? only person on this one. >> that was my head shake of not entirely sure how to approach the issue of language because i just think there is so much happening in this particular story. i'm actually very open to the idea that people who are not -- who don't have african ancestry or black parentage or grand parentage can feel a deepa deep affinity with black culture. people are sort of integrating themselves into the black community and effectively becoming black. where i sort of begin to pause, though is in the actual fact of living in a racial hierarchy is that your racial identity and not like your black cultural identity, but your racial identity is imposed. i couldn't walk into a room and say, i am actually a white man. >> so hannah this is part of -- and yet, aren't our gender identities imposed in a similar way? isn't there also a thing that has to happen not in one's lived experience internally but how the world sees -- so that idea of i can't walk into a room and say i'm a white
