here with reaction tonight are the author of the brand new book, "race pimping," and joining us, kevin jackson, you heard the comments that mary landru. she also added to that, its not always been a good place for women to present ourselves, she's a three-term senator. she served there for 18 years. do you really believe a. country that voted for barack obama, do you think that that's a fair statement, the use of that? >> well, you know, sean, i think we have to be very careful because the achievements of the few do not mitigate the pain and the struggles of the many. and so, when i look at her, i heard her comments, but i think that we've got to look at the fact that the black women have the median wealth of $5. and, white women have the median household wealth, 61% of white men. >> has that gotten better -- but wait are black americans under barack obamas policies? he's been president six years. we have millions of more americans on food stamps, million more in poverty. has he fixed the problems? >> the housing crisis occurred on president bush's watch. i don't to want fix the blame, i want

kevin jackson, executive director of the political website the black sphere, author of the book "race pimping." also with us again this hour, jo marc lamont hill who spent time in ferguson on the ground. nank thanks for joining us. let's start with you, kevin. police haven't said whether they're going to follow the proposed rules. they want to work with protesters to make everything safe and calm on the ground as they can. what do you make of the list of rules? >> poppy, they're not asking for much, are they? the police have rules of engagement they have to follow. as is the case with shooting, you know, we're looking at the fallout from that. what's interesting about it is they aren't asking the protesters to do anything. if you really analyze that list, what they're saying is when we create disruption, when we do things to antagonize you, you should do nothing, you should maintain your professionalism, et cetera. and i think it's absolutely ridiculous. yet again, we're going to spend a lot of time and energy over a tragedy that should never have occurred but i believe is probably mo

our coverage continues as executive director of the black sphere kevin jackson -- kevin, good morning to you on this pretty intense morning after a night of violence erupting in ferguson. initially i want to ask you what was your first reactions to the grand jury's decision not to indict officer wilson? >> well, elisabeth, i don't think anybody was surprised by the decision. they had given up enough bread crumbs to understand what was going to happen. enough of the forensic information had leaked out to know that the way darren wilson called it pretty much was the way it had happened. >> what is your gut instinct here on how this is handled by the president? steve alluded to earlier today how we saw the president speaking about being at peace for the sake of the family, yet right on the other side of the screen we saw violence. fires being set, automobiles being turned over, highways being shut down. did he strike the right tone? >> yeah, i thought it was completely symbolic of obama's america, where he's saying one thing and the opposite is happening behind him. whether it's benghazi

martha: leslie marshall, fox news contributor, and kevin jackson, founder of the -- [inaudible] welcomeou. leslie, this guy just keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper, and it doesn't look good for health care. >> well, martha, i have to tell you, i interviewed jonathan gruber just a couple of weeks ago on my talk show, and we went line by line as to the economic benefits. he didn't call anyone stupid, and although i tell my kids that's a very bad word and i do think it is, the american people aren't stupid. the american voters aren't stupid, and they know that from stupid remarks by a highbrow academic who do speak down to the american people frequently. i'm from boston, i know those mit types. sorry, guys, but now know it's true. the bottom line here is one person's foolish remark that is offensive to the american people and voter does not make a reason for why you should wipe out legislation and take away the health care of thousands and millions of people when you look at two-thirds of the states in this country that don't have exchanges in the states. if we wipe out the law, who
