but now they have calibrated their message like today wi jason kesler's rally. he is calling a white civil rights rally saying we don't think we are better than everyone we just want to be treated the same way. we have also seen this throughout the summer int portland withhe patriot prair group. their rallies are anti-immigrant, profirst amendment, free speech rallies they traditionally call them. they say we are notabout hate, we are just about asserting rights that the constitution gl uarantees ople, even white people. >> sreenivasan: pj, the people you spoke to in charlottesville and the ones you mavht h talked to today, do they feel that the issues that charlottesville surfaced last year have been resolved? >> well, yes and no. they feel that there has been a change. that a lot of these issues that you mentioned, around inequality and access to public resources and policing are now brothht to e surface. but they're very, very far from being resolved. as one african-american business owner told me yesterday, the problems aren't solved but now we know where ev

we talk about jason kesler who filed the paperwork for the rally.look at folks who's white house the beliefs do they want a unified group? do they want somebody calling the shots and heading the movement? >> oh, man, well they have wanted that forever. everyone wants to be the next furor, everyone wants to be the next hitler of the movement and that's bedevilled them since forever. since the '40s and '50s because they can't agree on one guy. there's so much bickering and feuding and little petty differences in the groups. that none of them can find a single person to agree on. and they all want to be that guy so there's so much back stabbing and bickering. so yeah, there's no way they'll coalesce around anything. >> i want to go back to charlottesville, i want to get your sense of what happened there, how it changed you. watching all of that unfold. i'm looking at what's happening here in washington, d.c. today. it's happening at a time when the president's out of town. he's not in the white house which is just across the street where from this gath

charlottesville old miser sending out a message or so in interviews with the media earlier this week jason kesler who's the man who organized not only this years but last year's unite the right rally has said that number one his goal is to keep things peaceful this year but his real goal is to spark a conversation to spark a debate about race in society now people have questioned how seriously that should be taken given that it's coming from a man who supports debunk science alleging that certain races are smarter than other races but he's also said that he really wants to stand up for first amendment rights for white people to gather and to express themselves but what we see behind me here is the beginning of the counter rallies in washington d.c. that are going to be happening all day both here and in several other points around the city a lot of groups coming together to stand against that message and say that d.c. is a united multicultural welcoming place and that ideology such as customers is not welcome here as you mentioned these protesters behind you against the so-called unite the right

the real danger our people like jason kesler who are able to hide who truly are. >> they cling to theirnterest in empathy or self reflection. but for those who want to disengage from whitacy, i can help if they have the curage to confront their own hatred. i'm going to charlottesville in two weeks. would you consider going with me is? >> for what 3ur7s? >> i'm going to meet heather heyer's mom and sit with her. she's going through a lot of pain because of what happened to her daughter. would you consider going with me? >> i would consider it. i can't say yes or no for sure but i will consider it. i feel like whatever she would have to say would be revolved around trying to make me feel guilty i guess -- >> you haven't met her though. how can you make that assumption? -morning. -morning. -what do we got? -keep an eye on that branch. might get windy. have a good shift. fire pit. last use -- 0600. i'd stay close. morning. ♪ get ready to switch. protected by flo. should say, "protected by alan and jamie." -right? -should it? when you bundle home and auto... run, alan! ...you get more than j

subway station we saw jason kesler get out with a very small group of people we marched with him once he got off of the subway on this and here in washington and he was just completely surrounded by police all the way and so were his people all the way here so nobody has really come very close to them or without the police protection they would be completely overwhelmed by this massive crowd and that. it's just what this crowd wants they want to drown out that message and so far they've been pretty successful and john earlier when when the spratly was organized they expected hundreds of people white supremacists with their message a white to what they're calling white civil rights message to come across why are they saying that so few people have turned out to what is the general sense they're . well it's hard to get close to them to close enough to them to ask that question i think the closest that jason kesler came to answering that question was explaining that he had not invited a broad array of groups as broad as were in charlottesville he was heavily criticized for that particula
