. >> so some people say even morgan freeman says we shouldn't celebrate because it is self-marginal ideses based on the successes you have mentioned, but saturday night live has a satirical take, give us a look. >> black history, here is 28 reasons to hug a black guy today. number one, we deserve a chance. s hard to argue that with. how thatry debates this -- there's something called black twitter, they are debating this issue, it is a trending topic and we also have black history month which is a end fromming topic, and this month the shortest of the year reallying thatling all the questions you questioned. i don't know how a month of observation can make up for hundreds of years of slavery. i am white, and i often hear other whites say get over it and move on, but these same people don't take the approach to 9/11. >> professor of african-american studies. kimberly ellis. off the top of the show, we were talking about how the original purpose of black history week and month, was to teach and showcase the black americans in the morn story. has it achieved it's purpose. >> i think in some w

i am a big fan of morgan freeman but i cannot completely agree. maybe he meant you cannot just talk about it but that is where we start and that is what we are doing and that is why i said i said it was hopeful. we do need to take more action. those folks that system is leading them to prison and mass incarceration and they get out of prison and cannot get jobs and cannot vote in some states they cannot participate. schools, they are underfunded. we need to be devoting our resources to that. we can talk about it, but we have to make those policy decisions and choices. we could be spending millions on investigations. we need to spend money on resources and training and good hiring practices. it all takes resources. we do need to talk about it. as i said before we need to take action. some of those actions include things like body cameras. the president spoke about it. i am excited we haved those videos out there. people can't deny it. there are still civil actions that may bring some remedy to that situation. i do not think it is over. we don't kno

. >> he can give morgan freeman a run for his money. >> need more there. fresh breast meat.ooking bird. beige on her chest. up there on her hunting perch. either a pigeon or duck whichever is unlucky to make the mistake, she'll sail out and nail it. >> christmastime cartoon. >> yes. >> exactly what it is. >> that's right. like the "frosty the snow man" voice telling you life lesson. >> yeah somebody had a good meal here. look at that there definitely bird man. >> definitely bird man. we jump to middletown new york where blue jays like to fight. really beautiful. >> yeah. >> i'm kind of glad they're doing this because i'm getting a better view of their little blue tails, colors of blue gorgeous head. >> understanding while they look pretty they are a bit thuggish. >>> be prepared to have your breath taken away. slacklining in this beautiful setting, it is insanely breathtaking. the majority of these shots are done with a drone. this video's put together about amir. all over the river gorge in california. >> if this line was set up and i had the harness, i'd slight out there w

i am a big fan of morgan freeman but i can't completely agree with him.aybe he you just can't talk about it but i think that is where we start. that's what we're doing today and that is why i said i was hopeful but we do need to take more action. those folks that system is leading them to prison this mass incarceration and then, they get out of prison, can't get jobs and can't vote in some states. they can't participate in our society. but going back to the schools they're underfunded. here in cleveland, we need to be devoting our resources to that. so we can talk about but we also have to make those policy decisions and choices. money will speak. we've are concerned about police brutality. the police department, we could be spending millions on investigations. we need to be spending money and resources on training on good hiring practices, on, proper investigations with accountability. all that takes resources and rededication of our efforts. so it is we do need to talk about. but as i said before we need to take action too. >> right. >> some of those ac

morgan freeman five years ago said that it was ridiculous, he said that on "60 minutes." the columnist cynthia tucker discussed this last year. yet, it is an artifact, that ironically works to minimize the way black americans and their accomplishments are part of the mosaic. in the age of obama do we need a separate celebration. >> they're welcome to have their opinions as everyone does. >> sure, sure. >> the fact of the matter in this country we don't know our history very well across the board, and what black history month has done was actually create this moment that we'll sit back and reflect. we're not simply saying this is the only point in which this is relevant but this is a moment that we're going to pay attention to. sometimes people will say we're going to have cancer awareness week and we'll dwell on this month. it doesn't mean that you care about cancer the other 11 months of the year. >> professor cobb, great to see you, and we need to make sure everyone is aware of this, that we can check out the branding black op-ed. professor cobb. thank you. >> thank you

in the hands of people like morgan freeman and david harwood and joseph to tell these great stories thatanged over the last 400 years. whether you are at the grammys or not. it also gives you another chance to show your range. many people or millions fell in love with samantha, but you have been at this a long time and your depth as an actress is tremendous. >> thank you. i was clear about playing cleopatra both times not to just make her a sexual object. she is a politician and she is pretty sexy too. >> shakespeare could have written "sex and the city" back then. >> he was writing for the masses. unfortunately not writing for women. for young boys to play because women were not allowed on the stage. i wonder if he would have changed anything if he could have had women portraying the great great roles. >> how many times a day do people scream samantha at you? right? is it still constant? >> it is, but i see it as the most wonderful compliment that people remember the character and love the show and just really remember it as a time that was cherished about really learning what it is to
