they were uninterested in waiting and challenging jim crow bit by bit. that was inefficient from their standpoint. so by filing these suits, the students would be able to have a lawsuit that would hopefully tear down jim crow much quickly at the same time, they would continue their protests in the streets and battle segregation in two different fora. now, the student movement in atlanta filed one of these omnibus in 1961. and the complaint's caption reflected the flare of the pro se lawyers, lawyers who file on their own or without a lawyer. here was the caption. a suit to exhume much of the cancerous racial segregation that is festering within atlanta the student said. now, thurgood marshall probably would have left out the cancerous part, right? and they describe the city's segregation policies themselves in equally provocative terms. they call them, quote, insulting, degrading, unnecessary, medieval, foolish and septic. and again, you could imagine that thurgood marshall and other ldf lawyers would have called them unconstitutional. the thing is the s

you talk about the new jim crow. anybody knows that history about what happened right after reconstruction, we know that time, the same manner, the constant racism, the criminalization, beautiful sister wrote the book of a little small book called the criminalization of a raise. ever since living in this country been disproportionate involved in the criminal justice system. because we have been criminalized. laws are passed which make us criminals, but categorize them as criminals. so after the civil war was over were out there, didn't have nowhere to go, so lawyering. loitering became a crime. today, they get you because too many young brothers are hanging out on the corner. so that became a part of how you get criminalized. you gone to the criminal justice system and they would lease us out to increasing us out they would take our slave labor because they did that to slavery to. they also leased slaves out of the same system going out today. the more things change the more they stay the same. we got to bust that ou

georgia alleges -- georgia as we look at the jim crow era. we now go it the elephant stampede the lay he is story you have been working on, five reasons the republican race is so unsettled. give us one or two. guest: one reason is that the republican field is very large and the front-runner, who is a very recent front-runner happens to be somebody that is the most energetic part of the party, the conservative tea party wing of the party, isn't happy with so they are struggling with what to do about there. do you go with the republicans have a history of going with next in line but next in line is mitt romney who is relatively moderate. so, typically the republicans have had a clear frontrunner in february of the year before elections. this time that didn't happen until the end of may, beginning of june. another element is iowa. romney has already signaled he won't play hard in iowa so we may have a situation where iowa isn't as important as it has been in the past. it could end up being more sort of a part of the bracket of the race which is

they're fighting for the doublete victory over fascism abroad and jim crow at home. they pitch so much legislation for them to have them in the forces the a package was known as and courier dose so that was up the forefront of this and the chicago defender may say it was doing even better work but i will let them argue that among themselves but the carrier assumed quite a place. and the chicago defender was doing fat to train pilots in chicago that was another center of black aviation in the late fortiesraas.s >> i am from hyde park. as the war ended in europe was there any plans or any airmen asked to have planning and the pacific with the war there? >> it is a great question in.pa the 477 bombardment group for a card three of thosewa who have trained it wasbomb created 1943 well into the war after the fighter training program have established itself and the 477 was training for service in the pacific but it moves from base to base throughout the war because the officers refused to be segregated. were department regulations say you cannot segregate officers' quarter

represents a new kind of institutional racism that in my view is even more pernicious than the old jim crow system because it's colorblind. it doesn't operate with the word -- with the epithets of the "n" word. it carries out the disen-fran disenfranchiseme disenfranchisement. i read the "new york times" the other day pointing out the african-americans who have the identical criminal record and identical job job qualification will be turned down jobs at three times the rate of a white former prisoner. and an african-american male who has no criminal record has a more difficult time getting a job in this country than a white man going to prison. so when you look are we going back? oh, yes we're going backward rapidly. and so i participated in this book because, unfortunately, we must relearn the knowledge that medgar had. we move back 50 years from the kind of vision and strategy and commitment to serve the community that medgar embodied. and until we get a leadership that speaks to that, we will continue to regress. but if we have a knowledge base of what it takes, what does it take to lead

in the 1940s, '50s, '60s, jim crow, after brown versus board of ed, we would have heaped a program oncal reasons did not speak honestly about the issues of desegregation. >> i agree. >> so does he deserve to be harshly criticized? shouldn't we be deeply critical of him? >> this is what we know of the president. he hasn't said those exact words but look at his resume. look at what he has done. it's not as if he is against marriage equality either. he's been doing what he's been doing in a lot of other areas, which is leading from behind. >> maybe it's not leadership, but let me ask you this. he also has said a couple of times or said repeatedly, said it a couple of times today, he has fulfilled his promise to the gay and lesbian community because, he says, he repealed don't ask, don't tell. he has refused, or had his attorney general refuse to defend the defensive marriage act, an act many people rightly in my view find deeply offensive. is that enough? >> he has fulfilled a checklist of political things he wanted to accomplish. he has not fulfilled the morality aspect of it, which wou

anniversary and what robert kennedy did, he -- when lawmakers and leaders in the south were imposing jim croweefiance of the u.s. constitution, he brought the power of the federal government to the aid of civil rights workers. so today the rfk center takes that as our model and we look for people who are the martin luther kings and john lewises of today and we work with them for a six-year period and we bring the power of the international law to their aid as they work on human rights issues in their countries. so abel hernandez berra is one example. he lives in mexico. he has had many members of his organization killed by military and police officers in that area, in guerrero. and he is working to assure that indigenous people have their th. >> and their cause -- i mean, this is separate from the drug wars and everything else that's going on, but there is such corruption there, but this is political freedom, this is basic human rights freedom for these indigenous peoples in mexico. >> that's exactly right. it's basically political freedom but in the context of the drug wars. so the united sta

the welfare state has done to black americans what slavery could not have done, the harshest jim crowould not have done, namely break up the black family. >> walter williams should know better than to compare slavery and welfare. slavery is perhaps the biggest stain on american history. it turned human beings into property. it doesn't get much worse than that does it? meanwhile, welfare programs help american families survive when they're destitute. welfare helps folks meet their basic needs while they lift themselves up and get back on their feet. so for walter williams to say welfare has hurt black families more than slavery, pretty cruel psycho talk. don't you think? new jersey governor chris christie and the republican party, they continue the attack on teachers. one republican has had enough. his name is daniel bowman. he is a state representative from the great state of alabama. he got so fed up with the gop he left the party. he'll talk about why, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] thanks to advanced natural gas turbine technology from ge, the power that will help make our nation m

north carolina was the last of the former confederate states to bring in the jim you laws -- jim crow laws and grandfather clause and those kind of things. and, in fact, by allying themselves with the working white people in the populist party which had a brief vogue right around the turn of the century, wilmington was one of the few cities in the country that had african-american city councilmen, firemen, policemen, even the guy who was the head of the local federal customs house was african-american. and the governor. but all that is about to change. chapter's called "a shave and a haircut." white folks' hair is easy. dorsey never stops wondering as the way it just grows out straight from their heads, offering itself up to be trimmed. and the shaving for the ones like the judge who don't keep a beard or moustache, you just pull the skin taut and slide with the blade. it never curls back into the pores to make a bump or get infected like his own. if only they would keep their mouths from moving while you try to work.

you talk about the new jim crow. anybody who knows the history about what happened after the reconstruction, we know that the cuts, the same maximus of the system, the criminalization. it's a beautiful system, wrote a book, little book called the criminalization of the race. every since african american people have been of the country we've been disproportionately involved in the criminal-justice system. why? because we've been caramelized. laws are passed which make us -- they don't make us criminals but categories, so after the civil war was over, we were out there and, you know, didn't have anywhere to go, so loiter in. loitering became a crime. today too many young brothers are hanging out on the corner. so that became a part of how you get criminalize. he go on to the criminal justice system, and then they would lease us out and in leasing us out they would take our slave laborers, like the same thing, because they also pleased slaves, the same system going on today. the more things change, the more they stay th

breaking taboos on politically challenging jim crow laws and discrimination against and has led to realadvances in human rights. but in many areas taboos remain secure and in their service to varieties of concentrated power and wealth they cannot tolerate sunlight. nearly every candidate for public office knows the taboo subjects which are not to be politically asserted and publicly suggested for discussion, off the table. self-censorship is part of a politician's body armor. one example, alternatives to the nation's heart drug are off-limits by the two major party platforms and their campaigning agendas. political parties tend to have unforgiving hierarchies. legislatures are rife with subjects, the vast majority of lawmakers preferred to ignore. until very recently the two major parties for years took the vast military budget and many ongoing soviet era weapons systems as given and non-debatable. as is the gao's annual finding that it is unable to the pentagon budget as a whole because the records aren't there. in its turn, the media often ditto heads the censorious behavior of the po
