you know the n-word? i said to myself at the end of the day that i love my country and i'm glad that that day, i took a stand. i saw through the supreme court that the flaws that america had tried to correct them by removing those horrible signs -- "white" and "colored." i said when i testified at the trial, i went through how we were treated, and the lady dramatize it, so i do not have to go through that, but it is the whole system of separate but unequal. it is understates rights -- is under states' rights. after lincoln had freed us from slavery, they instituted this law, separate but equal, and the state had sanctioned it. but everything there was, even when they had things that were federal, they would put a rope up, and the white people would be on one side, and the black people on the other side. i prayed. i'm a baptist. i hope was that the people would hear about the injustices.

it maybe isn't as bad as the n word, but it's a word like that. it's explosive. i'm not ordinary, i'm not normal, i don't belong. that's not what he meant, but he may not realize identify links up to all this. mind you, this is a nice guy. i appreciated what he was doing. he's trying to help me learn how to not kill myself. the class was about 20 people. this other guy when's asian american, i didn't know him. i just signed up for this class and another guy who's asian american, probably not too much older than me, maybe he was five, 10 years older than me. we had no contract with each other, didn't sit with each other, not because we were trying to avoid each other. a bunch of strangers in this class. the instructor assumed we were buddies. that's this funny thing that happens. it doesn't happen every day, but it happens maybe once every couple months. i'll be standing in line at the dry cleaner's or to buy a movie ticket. i do a lot of traveling, i'll be at the airport, i'll be standing five feet away from some random asian-looking people, it doesn't matter wha

. >> reporter: did he ever use it will "n" word, racial slurs? >> never. never in my presence. >> reporter: zimmerman was studying criminal justice. his college has now expelled him. but taaffe believes zimmerman's story. does george zimmerman belong in jail? >> no. >> reporter: do you think he did the right thing by confronting trayvon martin? >> yes. >> reporter: you do? >> yes. i would do the same thing. >> >> reporter: like zimmerman, taaffe own asinine millimeter weapon but when he goes on patrol he says he leaves it at home because he believes that outside the home using lethal force has no place. that that said, scott, remember that zimmerman had a concealed weapons permit whereas taaffe does not. >> pelley: mark, i wonder, what did trayvon's parents say when they heard their names mentioned by the president in the rose garden today? >> they said they were touched and humbled by president obama's observation that if he had a son the boy the boy would look like trayvon. bu but one of the points the parents made to me today, scott, was that any parent

the "n" word can hurt so bad that there needs to be some-- a little bit of education before you get into it. and again, my wonderful father-- when i first read that book, he sort of sat me down and told me, you know, what the book was doing and all this sort of thing. and i admired the book so much that i actually went around-- when i was in high school and in college, i would dramatize the part of jim to try to get people to see what was-- what i felt was really going on. i'm very much--i mean, "hey," you know, "samuel clemens." let's hear it for mark twain. he's wonderful. i can't stand the thought that people are going to throw out huckleberry finn and put nappy hair in. you know, that's not the way. let me ask-- one of the things people who work in the area of fighting off censorship, we tend to demonize people who want to censor. there is a sense that, you know, "these are the people who walk into walls, "and they're not well-read, "and they-- they're just determined to shut out the world." but are there times when a parent could go to a school administrator and say, "look, my son o

essentially what is the return of the workhouse and it's a shame that the word fascism is become like the n word you know if i say chris grayling it's a fascist of course people like oh you can't say. russias that word died in one hundred forty five you can't use the word fascist doesn't exist anymore it doesn't doesn't corporatism maybe because the fascist is no different than mussolini he's a fastest and it was so that world war two was a joke what was the point of the blitz to fight what could have crist this guy committed state fascism you know all the people or service people who died now and then i did so in vain because the country's done nothing to stop a song from being invaded but for can fascists well you know speaking of fascists and demanding consequences. germany offers to send taxman to greece remember so all of this fascism corporatism and colonization happen through we're missionaries we're just helping you we're helping you somalia by taking your or oil we're helping you libya by taking your oil we're helping you young artist by taking the rights to your work here the german go

in the sixty's and seventy's and after it was no longer acceptable to use phrases language in the n. word you know mostly conservative politicians had to come up with a different way to sort of insidious three the racist and talk about black people and so that's where the idea of running water and climb comes and so you know for a long time now the past thirty forty years you have a situation where in the news media you know in politics and in in movies and t.v. shows crime is literally the equivalent of being black being glad everybody's idea of a criminal even studies have shown people's idea of a criminal oftentimes a black man so it's sort of a subconscious idea in our minds even those of us who say we're not resistant and don't want to be racist may have this sort of underlying. underlying tendency to view black people as the specialists and so there is something that is because it's not just hate groups that have this problem obviously that's scary and it's important to talk about he groups but when it comes to racial profiling it's happens in every area of american society whether

be your charms and so she did produce a description themselves for the slanderous attacks on the n word if you expect. all right so for starters let me just explain the what commissioner kelly has done is not legal and massive spying scheme potentially violates and i think he's own guidelines a new york city law which outlaws racial profiling based on religion not to mention the first amendment and what the a.p. does isn't slander they're using actual evidence and they found to shed light on the actions and y.p. but the real problem here is the a.p. is investigation doesn't help peter king's political message so obviously he wants to attack them so we're calling out the media for actually doing real investigative journalism which is so rare these days and then praising the efforts of an illegal surveillance program against muslims here in america all that makes peter king tonight thoughts on where. our guys inside for happy hour and joining me this evening are to preserve any church and they have the right as a director of economic research for the reason foundation who's wearing so. i
