i was assuming a reader who knew how bad the kkk was. my earlier drafts, i had just said that what was wrong with america first is that it was the slogan of the kkk in the 1920's. and then charlottesville happened. and we had a president who stood up and said there were many fine people on both sides of the protest. when one side was entirely made up of klansmen and neo-nazis. that is an affinity legos was -- that goes way back. i saw people dismissing the kkk as not that bad. just a few burning crosses. how bad was it really? and i wanted to show how graphically it the -- was. so we can understand the violence we are talking about. human beings who were burned alive in front of crowds. grinning white people. until 1934. we are talking about torture, to mberment. disme we have to understand that these are atrocities. and they were done in the name of america first. in the name of being 100% american. this white crowds in the forefront that you are allowed to do something like that to people who you declared to be less than 100% american.

it includes a bewildering array of figures including the john birch society, kkk, david duke, peopleho play online video games, steve bannon, a religious blogger named robert spencer, and others. collectively their goal was not to select donald trump but to hurt african-americans. why would russian intelligence do that? if you have to ask, you are probably working for vladimir putin, too. so shut up. it goes without saying that all of this is completely insane and there is no evidence to support any of it. worse than that, it's irresponsible. some large number of people, they go to sleep worried about the invisible disinformation that surrounds our country and they will wake up a little more convinced that anyone who disagrees with them is a tool of a foreign power. because that is the real message here, there is no other side of the debate. his only russian propaganda. a certain sort of fragile liberal, that is probably comforting to know but it is a law, a lie. news anchors exist to push back against nutty claims like these. brian williams bought them completely. >> malcolm nance,

you will notice also the slogan of the 1925 kkk pamphlet. america for americans. there is nativism in its purest form. what was the result of all of this? the result of this was restriction. please make a note of this. in 1921 and 1924, in response to this rising nativist pressure, congress imposed a quota system. the quotas were initially 3%. they were initially based on the number of people who were present from a particular national group in 1890. for example, the first quota said, based on the number of poles in the country in 1890, we we -- we will admit 31,000 per year. no more. but that was judged to be insufficiently restrictive. so in 1924, congress rejiggered the system and said we are going to admit 2% of the people from each group as represented in the country in 1910. do the math. there were far more poles and italians in the country in 1910 than there had been in 1890. flip that, i did that wrong. they did it the other way. the initial quota was 1910, and then they went back to 1890 and said 2% of the 1890 figure. the result under the new quota, only

the selma to montgomery march and transported workers back and fort and was eventually killed by the kkk another group of three civil rights workers working during freedom summer, time with college students went to mississippi to try to get black people registered and organized to vote. so there's plenty of examples of white folks working in interracial oceans but today i would say, the antiracism work being trained in antiracism work and going and talking to communities about antiracism work is one of the best ways to approach it. >> ma'am? >> okay. i was just hoping -- hope, hope, hope dishie the he demographics in our country changing, that this situation might get better? >> might get. >> better. >> better. >> will the demographic. >> will the demographics infect the situation of the poor -- he class structure and the problems with black -- >> will it? >> yes. >> i think we have relied too much on the idea that at some point or maybe we are already there -- the u.s. is a majority minority because despite claims of kind of democracy, we know that the u.s. is run by kind of a small rul

said to me in the green room, if the women weren't leaders of the march, they would be members of the kkkbehavior, anti-semitism is so blatant, it's a wonder they haven't been condemned and shut out of the movement. it's beyond just their association with farrakhan. the founders of the women's march have called for the dehumanization of jews. she's embraced someone who murdered two young is railly jews. she's tweeted in favor of the islamic jihad, a particular terrorist who is in jail for recruiting suicide bombers. the irony is, they're using the platform of the women's march, which was set up to protect minority rights, to advocate for women's rights, to promote hatred against the worldest old minority, the jewish people. it is absolutely wrong. it must come out in the open. >> jason: jessica is joining me here in new york. jessica, it is the american way to petition your government. to march. i don't think anybody is opposed to that. but these aren't just rank and file members. these are leaders of the women's march. >> of the national movement. and i think it's a wonderful thing to he

and was there the contradictions were that she comes to terms with when she watches tv and sees the kkk on tv, and so anyway, just a lot of stuff like that, the details of the narrative or the stories are really, really important and useful, i think. rather than an abstract strategy thing. make sense? okay. >> questions from the audience? we have 15 minutes left. do we have questions? any kind of questions. >> i was wondering if you are in an institution or if you have a position in government or university, how can you incorporate that grassroots aspect or that collective aspect into your work? >> the question is, if you're in a university set, how you work grassroots activism into your work. or government, she said, also. >> or government. >> i think that many of us talk about the women in this book for sure and on the video project, talk about not having separate lives. right? and i think that's where we are saying here. it's like this. it's on a continueup. on this continuum i thought for this moment dirks teach at syracuse university. you're enfired write an article or something ab

after he got through the senate, it was revealed that he had been in the kkk, and the senate thought,we should've brought him before the committee and asked him about that." so, it's not until 1955 that it's even regular that nominees appear, and, since 1987, that that is a television spectacle. that is, of course, the robert bork televised hearings, which is really the last spectacle of the watergate hearings, honestly, i think is the best way to think about bork. but now we have this notion, ever since the merrick garland situation, when mitch mcconnell said the american people will decide our next justice. that's actually not how it's set up. it's not a popularly -- it's not an elected position. it's an appointment for life. it's meant to be insulated from public opinion. so, i think it's quite troubling to imagine that twitter is deciding who will hold the next seat on the supreme court. >> one of the themes in your work -- and einstein once said it -- is that, in american democracy there seems to be gyroscope, just when it's tipping one way it knows how to right itself. do you th

of course, we think the kkk and all of that. no, progressives were the leadership of this movement which ended up being used against the poor, the black, and the browns. one of the people who supported it was w.e.b. de bois who is lauded in the african-american community as a leader for social justice. >> i didn't know that. >> he was one of the leaders. because i think part of what you're implying is that you have to understand the context in which people are operating. during the early 20th century, the progressives were saying we need to improve the human race. and most people saw themselves as being progressive went along with it. all i'm saying is that we need to think hard and long as you say, even in this context. i heard a lot of people say we need to join together with the progressives. you need to be careful about that. i think what theologians like you and others can do is for muslims who are involved in the emotional fray just to step back for a moment and see what's the long-term implication of what we're pushing at

is at the heart of the first amendment you need first amendment to protect popular views communist kkkmembers are so forth. >> so you have to look behind the purpose of the first amendment so the defendants in that case they cry out. that strikes me as easy the court got it wrong. >> y-letter said the same defense available for citizens united rye passionately believe the case got it wrong even with the aclu i spent most of my career i felt with them over campaign-finance in defending the first amendment in that context and wanted to develop a theory to uphold serious regulation but there are hard arguments on both sides but at that point it seems to me just to say because their hard arguments on both sides but don't withdraw institutionally. >> but in the pantheon of terrible court decisions citizens united it doesn't quite get there calling for the first amendment audience but i do argue they should not have taken the case or should have ruled the other way because it is important to me. >> but it is because what you are arguing in your thesis there are some kinds of cases they shoul

. >> when lynchings went down shootings went up and the white people have a tendency with the kkk started to join the police department do you think there is anything to that quick. >> i think they were already part of the police department. i grew up in the south my mom grew up in mississippi. they were in a son downtown and that meant when the sun went down white people cannot be there. they went to town they had to explain why they were there. even in the middle of the day because black people should not be in the town because they were in the plantation. she was born 1930. those people were already on the polices on - - the police departments. all kinds of people are reflected. >> thank you for being here. i am a defense lawyer so we walk some of the same path that you do but there are three things that we need to attack is the culture how we devise a way to improve the culture. and the second is use of force protocols how they could be done but one - - better and a mechanism of the criminal justice process is not adequate for people with police they will be convicted of a crime we ne

things, when there are all these other people who don't have the same history of being the leader of the kkk who are saying these same things and potentially reaching a bigger audience. i think that's a big part of why strategically they have tried to stop having things like charlottesville, because i think white nationalists believe that charlottesville hurt them. they think that it resulted in backlash on their movement. i think the thing about charlottesville that helped them was afterwards, rhetoric that there were good people on both sides which suddenly made white nationalists feel like they had a seat in the national conversation in a way that they didn't before. thanks for asking about it. >> is derek able to lead a public life, or does he have a hidden identity? what is his life like today? >> great question. so when i first reached out to derek for the book, the first answer was no, i got to change my name, it's dangerous for me to be public, i can't do this. i think as he saw things happening in the country that made him feel culpable about some of the things that were going on, h
