and it just reminds me of the new jim crowe, it discusses how our justice system -- example of the jim crowe era system of apartheid in the south of the united states that led to people becoming -- black people, african americans becoming second class citizens and being barred from opportunity. with the african-american and latinos in our justice system, we have our jim crowe system, it is in existence, just resembled a different way legally. reverend hope has been a big part of making sure that system can be dismantled in whatever form it come in. so, i want to thank you for all your great service in san francisco. your great example for leadership in the united states as well, and look forward to many years of working with you, reverend hope. thank you. (applause) >> thank you so much. i thank you [speaker not understood]. the one thing i would like to adhere is that without 900 of people who have been board members and staff members and volunteers and otherwise engaged in the work in the tenderloin and currently at our safe house for homeless women escaping prostitution as well as i

not the effects of jim crow and the effects of slavery. it's the war on drugs have taken innocent deceased people. locked them up and educated them in criminal behavior and dumped them back in the hood with no hope. that game jail culture for the hood. not the schools. the prison has it. you learn, you are educated in how to do things that you never would have done just by -- and whites and blacks don't they use and sale drugs at the same rate? you can't have like the drug lords, when we are ending those laws, 94 1/2% of the people are black or brown incarcerated under the rockefeller drug laws in a state which was not 94% black and brown, right? and we inning course rate more people than anybody in the world, you know that, america. is responsible for locking its own up. and creating criminals and a cycle of criminal natural comes, you knowcriminal atcriminalitie. >> mike the sam number 52 came out of the closet before the draft and started a little firestorm i think it's fair to say. you have been very vocal in game rights. tell me why.

the implication is that there is some longing for the good old days of segregation and jim crow. yeah. the good old days. course, that is not the truth. mean whens what they they ask a question. another pet peeve of mine is when they are speaking to conservatives who can't answer the question. or, when they say, i am curious, what does it mean to be a conservative? what is that? conservatives start hemming and haunting. you know, that bothers me. i think if you say you're a conservative you should know what that means. what does that mean? one of my biggest pet peeves is when people use conservatism as andver for their idiotic most often racist ideas. ideas that when you get down to it, have nothing to do with conservativism. they espouse these ideas about conservatives because they don't really know what conservatism is about. who said their, silent -- who sit there silent. that is a pet peeve of mine. that is what i want to talk about. what does it mean to be a conservative? what is conservatism? we can start with the various general kind of definitions. the one i use. i say, i

. >> there were accusations this was going to bring back jim crowe. i looked through the jim crowe laws of the deep south where i grew up. i couldn't find anything common to that at all in this bill. it was very minor language changes. can you help our audience understand exactly what did this bill do? >> senate bill 1062 clarified an updated arizona religious freedom restoration act as we saw courts around the country basically saying that the government wasn't a party to the lawsuit, then the religious freedom restoration act would not apply. that was the main clarification. an individual or a business could assert their religious freedom rights, whether or not the government was a party to the lawsuit so it would be intended to help the little sisters of the poor, the photographer, the wedding cake maker, hobby lobby, those businesses where the government is trying to force them to forego their religious beliefs. >> it was not discriminatory but for example if i owned a jewish dell ka teten and someone said i want you to do bacon wrapped shrimp, th

>> guest: for the liberal rights it triggers another round of outrage of jim crow south seen as an example of violent retribution and people right to their congressman. editorials in the newspaper condemning violence, they sympathize with james meredith some of the documents talking about their own ideas asking for a vice there was this great liberal guilt. at least since the sit-in has been a major news story over the past 56 years. it continues the trend but because of that because of the of what striate -- watts riots starting to develop as a buzzword that some whites are alienated that blacks are moving too fast it should not achieve that but it should slow down the that is the exact opposite what others say. there are plenty of white marchers to be part of the conscience with the catholic church or jewish americans and longtime activists. those that was their own the experience for something day have to be a part of. it is impossible to characterize with a huge swath of people you see everything with a response to those that embrace the notion there are civil rights activists to say w

jim crow, the japanese internment, today's indefinite detention without trial only occur when we allow our god-given right to be abridged by the girardi vote. our rights are inherent. they are in separate bowl -- they are inseparable from our person. our rights are innate. they come from our creator, and no government can take them away from us. the constitution merely codifies what exists for all time. mr. president, we will not let you, we will not let you run roughshod over our rights. we will challenge you in the courts. we will battle you at the ballot box. mr. president, we will not let you shred our constitution. our future hangs in the balance. we can debate a jobless death, a and alarming bothersome and abusive regulatory state, but know this -- you cannot have prosperity without freedom. it is not a message of the haves versus the have-nots, the rich versus the poor, it is a message for anyone who wishes to own their own destiny. will not greatest flicker if we believe in ourselves, believe in our founding documents, believe i that. not only great prosperity, but it sure in t

it's jim crowe back from the dead. >> it's actually a very similar argument that was raised against theivil rights laws of the mid-60s. >> reporter: >> stephen: this is nothing like the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. for starters, when gay marchers get hit with a firehose, they love it! ( laughter ) ( applause ) that's an actual photo, which means i'm not a bad person. the point is gay marriage is not a civil rights issue. just ask iowa republican and volunteer o the hypnotists forgt to wake up, steve king. jim? >> it's clear in the civil rights section of the code that-- that you can't discriminate against people based upon-- i'm not sure i've got the list right-- race, creed, religion, color of skin, those kind of things. and there's nothing mentioned in there on self-professed behavior, and that's what they're trying to perfect is special rights for self-professed behavior. >> stephen: yes, self-professed behavior. unlike race, you can't tell somebody's gay just by looking at them. sphairs know, johnny weir is a perfectly straight wood nynph. you might be asking what exactly do

jim crow lost his fight with dr. king and civil rights became law. gays today are winning the battle for full acceptance and marriage quality. the same is true of the social safety net. ronald reagan championed the fight against medicare. the republicans voted as a block against affordable care. and in each case the liberals won, eventually. even as the struggle heads to another test this november with the gop rear guard sniping away at health care, promising to chop away at the social safety net that the progressives have built in this country. and every voter obviously has a stake. john heineman is the co-author of "double down" and jonathan capehart is a columnist with "the washington post." both are proud and needed msnbc political analysts. gentleman, i want you to look at a couple things. here is a political candidate, a republican out in arizona going after the social safety net. if you want to see by the way how hell bent some republicans are, take a look at this. buzzfeed is reporting this arizona congressional republican candidate, his name

and then the second chapter on jim crow's black workers really underscores this economic rationale to to segregation and disfranchisement. having secured the command of black labor in reconstruction, i argue southern planters and industrialists sustained the economic and political sub odder to nation of african-americans -- subordination of african-americans. as tammy says, the interest here is to maintain control of black workers and black labor, to maintain a subordinated, economically-discriminated- again st, politically-week, pliable labor force. and so that's how i argue the way in which jim crow disenfranchisement denies the right to vote funks. but finish functions. but the story i tell in the book is not just discrimination and horrible experiences at the workplace. the book explores centrally the many ways in which black workers struggled to change the conditions that structured their working lives. and it sort of tries to rescue or are to restore, to bring to readers' attention the importance of black labor activism to african-american history and to the black freedom moveme

that's how i tarring the way in which jim crow just denial of the access to vote functions. the story i nell the book i not just a story of discrimination and horrible experiences at the workplace. the book explores centrally the many ways in which black workers struggled to change the conditions that structured their working lives. and it sort of tries to restore to bring to reader's attention the importance of black labor activism to african-american history and the black freedom movement. and here they're sort of three themes that emerge. first, african-americans migrated to take advantage of tight labor markets when and where they existed. this was especially in world wars i and ii, two fundsmentam emed so citizen which black working class fortunes improved. these years of this mass migration of blacks out of the south, transformed the african-american labor force from an industrial surplus reserve of casual labor, into a population that game over the first three -- well, three or four decaded of the 20 numb century, become integral fa to work force of the co-er industry

. >> there were accusations this was going to bring back jim s crow.crow d laws ofan the deep south where grew up. i couldn't find anything common to that at all in this bill. it was very minor language changes. so can you help our audience understand exactly what did thi bill do? >> senate bill 1062 simply clarified and updated arizona's religious freedom restoration act as we saw courts around thep country basically saying that the government, if the government wasn't a party to the lawsuit, then the religious freedom restoration act wouldn't apply. an individual or businessicate assert their religious freedom rights whether the government was a party to the lawsuit so it would help the little sisters oa the poor, the photographer, the wedding cake baker, those typesf of businesses where the government is trying to force them to forego their religious believes. >> it was not discriminatory, but if i was the owner of a j jewish delicatessen and was kosher and someone came in and said i want you to do my wedding and i want bacon wrapped shrimp andgo i

. >> it's different than the jim crow south. it was a state-sanctioned discrimination that was flatly unconstitutional. and there was a governmental interesting ensuring that you could travel, but you couldn't if no hotel would serve you. in this case, the wedding industry is not bristling with hostility to gay people. you are dealing with the occasional waker or florist with an objection. you can find another one. >> got to take a break. back in two minute s. and the call to action for young african-american men. magic johnson, colin powell and our experts weigh in. >>> and later, will bill clinton be a bigger draw than barack obama on the campaign trail. >>> and the tea party turns five. yup. all 5 of you for $17. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line, anytime, for $15 a month. low dues, great terms. let's close! new at&t mobile share value plans our best value plans ever for business.

they are connecting those struggles with struggle against jim crow and racial segregation. the black power movement is connected with the black freedom struggle that is going on in postwar america. it is not something that just comes into play and it will have many different facets. certainly the main thrust is going to be radical but there will be revolutionaries, some who are black nationalists, some who are marxist but there will be black power feminists, there will be some who are liberal and some who are interested in electing more officials, more politicians. sometimes you have a connection between radicals and liberals to try to get things like black mayors elected and black congressman elected in the 60s and 70s. what is interesting is how multifaceted and panoramic is. it really goes from welfare rights activists, black nationalists who are street corner activists, sharecroppers in lawrence county who are part of the black panther party, the black panther party for self-defense in oakland and people like bobby seale, kathleen cleaver, stokely carmichael at the nati

the implication is that there is some longing for the good old days of segregation and jim crow. yeah. the good old days. course, that is not the truth. mean whens what they they ask a question. another pet peeve of mine is when they are speaking to conservatives who can't answer the question. or, when they say, i am curious, what does it mean to be a conservative? what is that? conservatives start hemming and haunting. you know, that bothers me. i think if you say you're a conservative you should know what that means. what does that mean? one of my biggest pet peeves is when people use conservatism as andver for their idiotic most often racist ideas. ideas that when you get down to it, have nothing to do with conservativism. they espouse these ideas about conservatives because they don't really know what conservatism is about. who said their, silent -- who sit there silent. that is a pet peeve of mine. that is what i want to talk about. what does it mean to be a conservative? what is conservatism? we can start with the various general kind of definitions. the one i use. i say, i

i was down in georgia for the first time in the south where i saw jim crow america at its worst and thensuddenly the war in japan ended and i was on a cruise ship bound for germany and was ordered to go down into the hole of the ship to keep the as they said from gambling. i had no idea there were innate lacks on the ship but it was like a slave ship down below. this went on until i became a security policeman in germany and was called out where there were shooed out conflicts between white and black american soldiers partly because there were many german girls who loves to date lack soldiers and they were many white soldiers who are outraged by that rated in germany where i spent a year in 45 and 46, it was an experience that for the first time introduced me to the racial issues of the country in a very dramatic way. there also was the holocaust of course. i was in the shadow of that and saw survivors going into the streets of stuttgart and so one and called out to protect truckload after truckload of survivors. so i was opened up to a lot of different new things at a very very -- is a

able to show by having some kind of economic access and wealth it was a way of circumventing the jim crow system. washington certainly was a child of the south and there were some people he recognize that did not want him to visit their town. or their cities or states. one pointed example was when washington was scheduling his tour of mississippi and the governor of mississippi at the time was one of the most racist, ideologues in the country at that time. man named james kate barton in. he has all kinds of derogatory things to say about african-american people but washington became so concerned about the threats against his life that he actually hired a pinkerton detectives to go down and scout out the mississippi before he visited the state so this particular detective went ahead of washington and his party, washington received a letter from a young man by the name of j. mahoney and he begged booker t. washington not to visit mississippi because the people -- if you come here you are leaving in the body bag anyone not leave the way you came. so washington received bomb threats, people s

. >>> before the voting rights act of 1965 it was common across the jim crow south for voters to havearately for federal and state elections. as literacy tests and poll taxes were struck down, states like mississippi simply kept them on the books for statewide elections. that way, newly enfranchised black voters couldn't vote out the officials who discriminated against them. section 5 of the voting rights act ended the two-tiered system of state and federal registration, creating a single voting standard. when the supreme court gutted zx 5 last year it brought back the potential for states to pass separate statewide voter registration standards. what just happened in kansas and arizona, where a federal judge upheld those states' demand that the federal agency charged with helping register people to vote issue special voter applications to take into account their stricter voter i.d. laws which require a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship is another nail in the coffin of the voting rights act. as ari berman writes in "the nation" "the proposed two-tiered system of voting an

and i was down in georgia for the first time in the south where i saw jim crow america at its worst.and when i was on, suddenly the war with japan ended i was on a troop ship bound for germany, and was ordered to go down into the hold of the ship to keep the giga boost, they said, from family. i had no idea there were any blacks o on the ship but it's le a slave ship down below, and this went on until i became security policeman in germany. and was called out where there were bloody shootout conflict between white and black american soldiers. part because there were many german girls who love to date black soldiers, and there were many white soldiers who were outraged by this. so my experience in germany where i spent a year in 45-46 was an experience that for the first time introduced me to, there are racial issues of the country in a very dramatic way. and there also was the holocaust of course. i was in the shadow of that and some many survivors, we protect them going through the streets, were called out to protect truckload after truckload of survivors. so i was opened up to a lo

this is taking us back to the kind of mentality of jim crow back many the day. reason he wants to call a special investigation sr. voter suppression is because he realizes that the polling that shows that he's dead heat right now when he's supposed to be their wonder boy, he's not doing well in wisconsin. the fox valley editorial came out to say that they're just chipping away at democracy. he should be concerned because that's exactly what they're doi doing. he wants to have a special session instead of coming up with the 250,000 jobs he said, he wants to have a special session to suppress people's ability to vote. and i hope that the court will do the right thing but, you know, you never know in wisconsin. >> ruth, what does walker gain by pushing for the voter i.d. law? he's got a john doe investigation looking into the way he ran the recall campaign. there's been an e-mail dump out there. these polls are not good. this teems very heavy handled. >> i think it's exactly what the senator said. i think walker and other republicans around the country frankly are

african-americans to serve in those positions into well into the 20th century following the limitation of the jim crowlaws and a lot of the history of segregation that would come later in the 19th century. the 1868 cause addition from the perspective of many floridians would be looked upon as a terrible document. the vast majority of political power in the state after reconstruction ended was still vested with the white, primarily individuals who have been involved in the slaveholding and in railroads and banking and some of the other large industries. and so the 1868 constitution from the perspective of those individuals, something they want to reverse almost immediately but it did take some time. the federal government ostracize florida until, into the 1870s, and the individuals who were in power who were floridians, not the people who have been federal agents in essence in florida, they wanted to try to reverse this and strip back some of the rights that have been granted to african-americans in the wake of the civil war. so this document in essence undid a lot of what the 1860 document did. for ex

he knew that life without health care could be as crippling as life under jim crow. difficult to reverse. president obama talked about how dr. king might feel about the affordable care act. last summer. >> oh, he'd like that. well, because i think he understood that health care, health security is not a privilege. it's something that a country that is as wealthy as ours, everybody should have access to. >> and everybody should have access to it. and despite the glitches, today people can go to a website or phone number that never existed before in their lifetime. that's america at its best. we have until midnight to bring in more. but thank god for those enlightened americans that fought the politics of today and made it a moral statement that not only will help make people's lives better, but makes the character of this nation's better when we do what is right for other americans. it's a great day. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. >>> dynasty. let's play "hardball." >> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. and let me start

jim crow lost his fight with dr. king and civil rights became law. gays today are winning the battle for full acceptance and marriage quality. the same is true of the safety net. ronald reagan championed the fight against medicare. the republicans voted as a block against affordable care. and in each case the liberals won, eventually. even as the struggle heads to another test this november with the gob rear guard sniping away at health care, and every voter obviously has a stake. john heineman is the co-author of "double down" and jonathan capehart is a columnist with "the washington post." both are proud and needed msnbc analysts. a republican out in arizona going after the social safety net. if you want to see by the way how hell bent some republicans are, take a look at this. buzzfeed is reporting this congressional republican candidate, his name is jim brown went on a racially charged rant earlier this week by comparing social safety net programs to slavery. i want folks to think seriously about how slavery really works. back the day of slavery,

some of the bills that we're seeing across the country in places like arizona that are essentially jim crow, because they're living in this bubble where they're part of this silent majority. >> right. it's one of the things i talked about the last time i was on your show, about a cultural disconnect that is a real problem among the republican party and in the conservative movement. just a certain segment of conservatives who just aren't in touch with real life in america in 2014, and that's going to hold them back. >> well, jimmy, i remember talking to you a year ago about this. you were very emotional about the lack of inclusiveness. i want to point out log cabin, another gay republican group, boycotted cpac, and i see this as a problem for the party. they're not looking in the mirror, maybe it's us, we're having good folks leave the party, saying they don't feel included. so what is your advice to republicans? if you were to sit down with reince priebus, what would you tell him to do to improve the image for gay rights? >> stop fighting about who's good enough to wear the lapel pin, and l

first-class citizens of society as opposed opposed to this -- us second-class citizenship which some call jim crow. would anyone comment on that? >> thank you, mr. johnson. i -- your comments raised a couple of points. one is the issue of collateral consequences. it relates to what we were discussing and what mr. bachus alluded to. the impact of collateral consequences particularly on those who were convicted of lower level nonviolent drug offenses is just tremendous, and there's a project underway right now, under the auspices of the department of justice, being conducted by the mesh -- american bar association, to essentially catalogue all of the consequences and so policymakers and lawmakers can understand the implications of the criminalization they engage in when they make these criminal laws. >> gentleman's time is expired. last but not least the gentleman from new york, mr. jeffreys. >> thank you, mr. chair, and thank the witnesses for their very thoughtful testimony. it seems that as it relates to the problem of overcriminallization that this task force is encountering, there are potential

jim crow, the japanese internment, today's indefinite detention without trial only occur will me allow our god-given right to be abridged by majority vote. our rights are inherent. they are inseparable from our person. [applause] our rights are innate. they come from our creator and no government can take that away from us. [applause] the constitution merely confines what exists before all time. mr. president, we won't let you, over ourot let you run rights. we will challenge you in the courts. we will ballot you -- that'll you at the ballot box. mr. president, we will not let you shred our constitution. [applause] our future hangs in the balance. we can debate at jobless recovery, at alarming debt, i bothersome and abusive regulatory state, but know this -- you can have prosperity without freedom. the message of the rich versus the poor. it is a message for anyone who wishes to own their own destiny. america's greatness will not flicker if we believe in ourselves, believe in our founding documents. believe that all men are crated equal and that everyone can do succeed -- can succeed.

jim crow is alive and well in the state of wisconsin, and scott walker is seeking to make -- you knowthe right to vote -- the sacred right to vote here in wisconsin over and over again with voter suppression and voter intimidation, and now that they have seized control of the state government they are using their power as elected officials to enact laws that will make it harder for minorities, students, seniors, working people and people with disabilities to access the franchise. >> i mean, i'm just surprised. i'm just stunned by how they're not even subtle about what they're trying to do. zach, what kind of voter i.d. compromise is governor walker seeking to make that -- to actually pass muster with the courts? >> well, we don't really know until we see what the court rulings look like, right, but i was one of the lawyers litigating the voter i.d. case in november. i think two things struck out from that case. one was that the state could produce absolutely no evidence of in person voter impersonation in wisconsin in the entire history of the state. so there's not one instance of fra

first those related to the historic impacts of jim crow and slavery.ned often behind. take unemployment. 5% for white men roughly but 12% for black men and 8% for latino men. among 16 to 24-year-olds not enrolled in school fewer than half have jobs. those are long term and persistent inequities. then he addressed a second category. systemic racism that operates today holding young men of color back even when their work or their conduct or their choices are the same as other americans. look at smoking weed for example. black and white people use pot at similar rates. black americans are three times as likely as white people to be arrested for marijuana or look at what happens when you mess around in school or cut class and get into a fight which a lot of kids do sooner or later. today they make up more than 70% of all students referred to leempt. black students are 3 1/2 times more likely to be expelled than white students. only half graduate from high school on time. after citing some of the statistics himself president obama said this. >> and the wors

so then we had 100 years of jim crow and incredible undercurrents of racial tension.ation has had particular and at times really ugly racial strife. so, no, this isn't the worst of times. but i do think it's an important time, because having an african-american president was a test for the country. because the reaction to it tells us a lot about where we are. and i think that a lot of the reaction to president obama getting elected disabused people of the notion that we're post racial or that we are as far as we thought we were. i think 50 years after the march on washington and the civil rights act and the voting rights act, we are not as far as we thought we were. >> how disappointing is that, to not be at a wonderful pinnacle, having put the first african-american man in the presidency, the top spot? >> it's disappointing, but i don't think it should be surprising. this is a very young country. and it's -- if you think about how incredible it is that just over 200 or some odd years after the country was founded, with slavery en democratic to the founding of the cou

rand paul quoted michelle alexander to talk about this as jim crow. >> yeah, pretty amazing.onsequences for communities of clor colors, i mean, it's devastated our communities. from not only the fact that people are being taken out of our communities, but on top of that, at the end of the day, they lose their voting rights, they have a hard time finding employment on the other side. and so we have all of these other impacts that disproportionately impact people of color and communities of color. >> i'm glad you mentioned voting rights. the obama administration actually has a new proposal on that that we'll go to. i want to thank shane bauer for your reporting and for joining us from colorado. and still to come, "orange is the new black" author, piper kerman, but also, attorney general is next.

that point but it misses is what he was emblematic of in a century of the racial segregation and jim crownd economic injustice, the racial oppression had come boy yelling over th the tops of it wasn't tt people have gotten too much access and have become angry and belligerent comment that they had too little. for the civil rights when we think about terms like burn baby boom and the leverage for the political transformation that becomes a part of the debate but also when we think about the idea of the new right and barry goldwater and modern-day conservatism he becomes a symbol of what people are saying is liberalism access and so for the black power activists liberalism hasn't gone far enough. he says it is an example of the language of the unheard. so it's interesting. depending on your viewpoint it gives a perspective of what do you think about the social movement and the aspirations and society. is he an example of excess or that people were so oppressed the only way they can respond after a century of this kind of segregation and brutality is that kind of violence. >> host: if you ca
