as late as the 1960s the naacp is worried about him and lax collection of money, taking money out of their coffers etcetera but the strategic difference is such that thurgood marshall is of the opinion that dr. king is a great speaker. he is a wonderful speaker. he can change hearts and do this and do that. you walk away from a king speech and are so enthused you go back to segregated neighborhoods, segregated schools, back to racial inequality on the work site and the only place you make concrete change is if you change the law in terms of congress and the courts. >> thanks. all three of your books address in addition to dr. king lesser-known figures. i wonder if you could choose a story you think people should know more about and share it with the audience. >> we talked about this. >> your time, your book. >> i will take one and leave the baltimoree n for you. what i would single out is the conservative republican congressman from west central ohio named william mccullough was the ranking republican member of the house judiciary committee and was a conservative, he was against gun

[ laughter ] there's one more thing we should add. >> no, i'm not racist but i did wonder that. i don't care what your race is. we need to get over this prejudice. >> sterling together with the clippers organization say the views on the recordings do not reflect his own personal beliefs. >> jon: thank you. someone has to finally stand up for those people who making clearly racist statements on tape as not being racist. and if no one else will do it it might as well be the racists themselves. that is the pot calling the kettle a blender. pot? what do you mean? i you've got me all wrong. i would never be black. but wait -- how did these incredibly not racist people find themselves

naacp resigned over the controversy involving donald sterling. they had this statement. >> this week has been an embarrassment for the naacp and i hope this is a change in the direction of the naacp. >> he donated over 40,000 dollars to them of the past years and they say it will be returned. >>> a woman and man were bitten by dogs there. first a woman walking was bit by a dog and then later a man was attacked by the man and they were forced to taser the dog and an argument erupted when the owners returned. >> and her little puppy is there. >> and you don't know the whole story, mister because that dog was abused. >> officers say they held the dog there and they had to be quarantined. >>> officers say a student was walking home from school on wednesday when a man pulled up to her and asked if she wanted a ride. the student told investigators she said no and the man continued to ask her questions and then drove off. police will continue to patrol around the school and anyone with information is asked to call police. >>> the law enforcement will be

naacp from the negative exposure i have caused. close that quote. what are your thoughts? >> i think it's great that he resigned but having his replacement and picking donald sterling, that's a bad choice. >> dana, if leon jenkins came out on monday, the first media day after this thing broke and said, you know we're christian, maybe we'll forgive him for that, but was it about money? >> i don't know if it was about monday any. when i listened to the second part, the clip that you just showed, to me, i thought that was a little bit of -- that was more sincere than the previous comment and that it was nice to see somebody stand up and say, you know, i'll walk away from this because if it will help the cause for me to leave, that's kind of a stand-up thing to do. >> you think he should have left? that it was warranted? i'm curious. i don't know. >> i don't know, because i don't really call for people's resignations very much. he was taking personal responsibility in stepping up and maybe that helped everybody get passed -- >> if you

separated naacp out from him. i think it was the right thing.o take a little listen to ha press conference and take it upon himself to get out. >>> next, this one will be interesting. should you let your pets sleep in bed with you? we all have dogs, greg and bob don't. but i know they have a lot to say about this one. stick around if there was a pill to help protect your eye health as you age... would you take it? well, there is.

on both sides. >> look at the corruption of the naacp. they took the money knowing his past. and i think that is something else that should come out of this conversation. the naacp was bought off by sterling for a lifetime achievement award. he was given a lifetime achievement award, and they knew what he had actually done in his business. so they're just as corruption as donald sterling on this issue. they were going to give him a second award because he bought access for a plaque he could hang on the wall, and say look, i'm not a racist. that is just as corruption. >> i don't know if i say it is just as corruption. >> that was one chapter of the naacp, not the entire national organization. >> but they took his money. >> i'm not arguing that point, and it is okay. we agree. >> with regard to the bigger issue, sometimes philanthropy, where people donate money and by virtue of the donation, they feel like they can have ruling over the people. i feed them, i give them a little bit of money and clothes, i can do whatever i want to them. dona

>> i don't speak for the naacp.nization made up of just -- of collection of human beings, most of whom -- many of whom are not professional at all. and sometimes individual chapters do things that the nationals don't even know about. i'm certain going forward the naacp is going to have an approval process for everybody in the future who is to be honored. >> i've heard two different opinions about silver's decision. some people said what he did was absolutely brave. others have said well, the momentum was already there, it was an easy decision for him. it was not anything brave. >> there's public opinion on his side. >> as the mayor and everybody pointed out the public is very invested in professional sports because we give them tax money for the arenas they play in and other amenities as well. so definitely a public relations trend to it. silver did what he had to do. as willie brown said he did it for himself as well. ,,,,,,,, w-h-c-d--the white house correspondents dinner was yesterday. the president ben his addre

honored him as a great leader. 2009, the naacp in los angeles give him an award as a great leader. they were about to give an award this year. >> you have to question the motives. go ahead. >> there's a poster they pointed up for this 100th anniversary. here's ha they said they were doing this for. he gave away, according to them, 2,000 to 3,000 tickets every game for poor children to be able to go to basketball. and they said this is a guy who has really reinvested in the neighborhoods. now, everything he has said, that's gotten him in trouble, was off of a tape -- >> right. >> -- to a girlfriend. >> there's no question. >> so we now live -- let me ask it this way. out of all the different team owners in the country, because up until that girlfriend released that tape, he would not have been somebody who said we have to -- are you willing to say tonight we can be sure if we get rid of sterling that there's not another owner who's a hidden bigot who some morning is going to have a tape released or do something else? he did nothing public. it was all private. >> i don't think you ca

we don't have time, clearly, but the naacp and the naacp ldf work together where you have a coordinatedovement that begins to shift the ground underneath and to coordinate the legal strategy that begins to push from the top and so the answer is yes. i can imagine it. in order to imagine it, i have to imagine a world of social movement underneath and community people that are also engaged with that kind of legal strategy. we can't just wait for the court to do justice. >> yeah. i think that is it. they're not in isolation. they are part of society. >> melissa harris perry, who better to talk on this topic. what is coming up this weekend? >>. >> we're going to do a little beyonce and "new york times" and brown versus board of education. >> you had me at beyonce. >> host of the economist. hellsa harris-perry weekends from 10:00 to 12:00 on msnbc. you don't miss it anyway. >>> coming up next, breaking developments out of washington where veterans affair secretary says he has accepted the resignation of the department's top health official dr. roberts brettsel and searched as undersecretary
