some have said if i have tried to convert jesse jackson to my views in times said i'm sure jesse jackson makes 10 times what i make great how can you ask a man to reduce his income by 90%? >> host: what is there race that you talk about? >> guest: the naacp played an important role but one of the problems within the institution that has one goal is once they have achieved that old they don't say all right folks we are having a going out of business ceremony. they have to go on. the eeoc for example they have to prevent discrimination but is they have to expand the definition of discrimination so now if you don't want to hire people who have been in prison they think that's discrimination. >> host: you write in "intellectuals and race" that the kind of society to which that can lead when you talk about the race industry etc. is one in which a newborn baby injures the world supplied with prepackaged grievances against other babies born on the same day. >> guest: yes, yes. this idea that you can redress history which we have seen in specific contexts in this country, it's around the world.

. >> how about jesse jackson and reverend sharpton, why are they silent?rofit for them. not political advantage. they don't care because they live off of the victimization. therefore, as long as you have black communities that see themselves at victims, that helps perpetuate their existence. now all of a sudden, if you jump in -- why don't they say anything in chicago about the black on black crime? because they don't have a point in that. it doesn't elevate them. that's why these guys should be totally irrelevant, not be listened to whatsoever. >> what do you think, honestly overlooked or cowardly ignored? start with you on this one, bob. >> i don't agree with -- that this is their business, but i do say this -- i've said this before. this is where i will agree with west, that is, why they are not speaking out about this. i don't get. >> quick thought. i get worried. i think we keep playing this too much. i think people are getting an idea of getting an idea, they just go out and try this and do this. my thing is, i don't expect them to. to me, it's clear

despite the president's disregard, jesse jackson has been known at the white house as a skilled negotiator>> reporter: when the revolutionary armed forces in columbia, negotiations for his release was reverend jest see jackson. >> he had no one to bargain for him. so i stepped in that gap and bargained for him. >> reporter: of course jackson is best known as a civil rights leader. but the role of third party intermediary and hostage negotiations are -- bobby goodman was shot down over lebanon and taken over by seyri. jackson went to syria without the blessing of the reagan administration. >> the reagan administration said you shouldn't go. >> reporter: release the american pilot and safe face. >> he allowed the syrian government the opportunity to release me without having to succumb directly to the u.s. government. >> receiving both goodman and -- ronald reagan was compelled to give jackson credit, saying you can't quarrel with success. that turned the spotlight on jackson, created momentum for his 1984 presidential bid and made him a go to as a third party sbeintermediary, he plead be sa

you will hear all of the rhetoric coming out from the al sharptons and jesse jacksons that this unarmed black teenager was shot and killed and assaulted when right now they should be out there stopping this so we don't get to this point. >> they have been silent and the president attorney general also role models in the african-american community. but one. >> this doesn't fit political narrative. >> obviously the ones who do it criminals arrest them, process them or whatever. those who laugh may be aiders and abetters encouraging them to deal with it too. the thing that concerns me a the love these communities have 12 and 13-year-olds look up to people in the community. there is always the peer pressure. if we don't stop this now. immaturity of a 13-year-old is a 13-year-old going to follow suit and do something really stupid, have the person die or end up in prison and no one is speaking out to try to stop this now. >> well, you have already seen this happen. think about down in brunswick, georgia, where the two black teenagers shot the white baby in the face. and so now that's, again,
