>> it's not just me and the naacp. we have been making rounds to make sure we have relationships with members of senate. it is important for us in this moment to accelerate concerns coming from the african-american community that's inclusive of voting rights. what we are seeing across the country is extremely concerning. it hearkens to a time in 1940 when policymakers were seeking to submit voters rather than electing members to different areas of government. for the naacp, we will put that on the table. more importantly, we'll be talking to our members in west virginia to hear from them and bring forth the conversations with those members to his attention. >> senator manchin has said previously that he supports the reauthorization of the voting rights act, but he does not want the "for the people" act, which is a sweeping bill that would allow for more ballot access. is that good enough? is it good enough just not to reinstate the voting rights act? >> you need to know where he is on certain policy issues. you really

[laughter] >> and to think more effective. >> all there was truth to that. will that happen again in 2022 with a violent crime overly directed toward blacks will they still though democrats in the cities with the defendant police crowd quick. >> it depends on if the republican nominee that is what it will come down to. to go into this community and to think of how well these are going and in terms of income and wage growth. blacks were doing tremendous with the economy under donald trump so there is a fear that many policies that he supported where policies from t

[laughter] you hit the white flight, loss of tax base. employment, lots of jobs. you have the economy kick in in the rights of street gangs. it is pretty striking how quick it happens. thinking about the case we read about charlotte, those blacks who were living in charlotte are themselves suburbanites. he didn't make a point of exploring that idea because the , argument is elsewhere, but they're finding ways of keeping the education high, keeping the reaction to benefits high in the context of the suburban life style. between 1970 and 1995, 7 million black people moved to the suburbs, that's more by far and away than go from south to north in the great migration. they are enabled by the passage of law. the fair housing act of 1968, passed in the wake of dr. martin luther king's assassination. lyndon johnson in a flurry of activity tried to find a way to get the law passed before king's funeral. between the time he was killed and the funeral, this law basically comes to pass. it's mea

president biden is taking criticism from the naacp tonight.s efforts to close the racial wealth gap are not enough. so far the president's campaign promises to cancel student loan debt. they are unfulfilled, those promises. congressional correspondent jackie has a story tonight from capitol hill. >> nine weeks after president biden asked the department of education to assess his ability to cancel student loan debt, the white house pointed to bidens other proposal to lessen the financial burden. two for years of community college and investments and historically black and tribal schools. but they did redirected the spotlight to congress paid >> be happy to sign the bill to law if they passed. >> they maintain this is the presidents responsibility. chuck schumer tweeting yesterday with a flick of a pen bite and can cancel student at. aimed at improving tacial equity. but the president's first budget proposal didn't even include provisions for canceling student debt. prompting concerns from and naacp president who said in part until we address th

battles as long as the naacp legal defense fund has existed. this chapter that we've arrived at now where we are dealing with the aftermath of voting, with secretary of states will be allowed to do or not be allowed to do, those changes in these election laws are things we've never seen before. >> that's right. until the acp defense fund has been around for 81 years and we've been fighting attacks on our democracy and attacks that have used black voters as a vehicle to undermine our democracy and to undermine black voting power. that has been something that we see time and again but this particular wave of voter suppression laws seeks to do something even more nefarious than what we've seen in other areas and other regions. because it's not only targeting black voters. he's doing that for sure but it is also targeting our democracy as a whole. it is undermining the machinery of our election administration systems and it is calling into question legitimacy of future elections if we allow these laws to stand. it invites partisan interference on a

this issue is especially concerning to the naacp. as you mentioned, the naacp is focused on these issues as part of a movement for decades upon decades. as you are aware, the covid-19 pandemic had a direct and negative impacts on many americans and several aspects of their lives, whether on their physical, mental health well-being, education opportunities, or financial situations. for those already in economic distress, those living paycheck-to-paycheck struggling to afford rent and paid bills, the pandemic exacerbated an already dire situation. the sobor lack of affordable housing in this country, and the victimization of people of color long preceded the covid-19 pandemic. but this crisis has brought this issue to the forefront of the national conscience and sign the light on the pain many individuals and families are experiencing right now and have been experiencing for decades. i do not want to get into a debate over whose pain hurts more. however, during all of this, it has been made evident to get. whenever america goes through

the naacp is calling for the administration to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt. ashley harrington, does your organization, the center for responsible lending support that? guest: absolutely. we are in line with the naacp and we are over 300 organizations who are calling for the biden administration you cancel student debt and $50,000. this is something important to a lot of groups that impacts a lot of populations and people have realized that this is unsustainable and it is having a disproportionate impact on black and brown people. this is not an economic issue, this is a racial justice, racial equity issue. host: let's go to our callers, you can see the numbers on our screen, we have broken down them by level of student loan debt. if you have no student debt, that number is (202) 748-8003. debbie in flint, michigan. tell us about your situation. caller: good morning. a couple of points. esther butcher points out that -- mr. butcher points out that these uneducated people are paying for our education. that ignores the point that most of us worked. we worked bef

naacp president derrick johnson has said, and this is quote, "you cannot begin to address the racial wealth gap without addressing the student loan debt crisis.a he also -- in the washington post story from earlier this month, the story points out that although president johnson, derrick johnson of the naacp, applauded president biden's focus on homeownership as a way to build wealth, johnson said many african americans would not qualify for the necessary loans because of a high debt-to-income ratio. my question is, does the administration need to do more on student loan debt? dr. rouse: student loan debt has become a big problem in our country. personally, i study higher education as an economist. i believe that student loans have an appropriate place as part of our financial aid portfolio, but it's really important that students understand what they're taking on when they take on those student loans and that obligation and that they use them in the right kinds of programs, and so i believe that we understand that it has become a huge burden. the president is committed to finding wa

our guest is associate counsel with the naacp's defense fund.ou so much for making time. >> it's a pleasure to be here. >> i hear the echo in your lawsuit from march and the justice department's action today, talking about intentionally targeting voters of color, that language in your lawsuit. today the justice department saying that the law was motivated, meaning the intent was discrimination, motivated by discriminatory purpose. for us non-lawyers, can you help us understand the gravity of that charge and how important it is to whether or not this law is constitutional? >> absolutely. to allege that a law is intentionally discriminatory requires you to prove that the legislators acted with intent, that they were aware of the consequences of their actions, and they intended for those consequences to be so. we know that in the case of georgia, the particular provisions of this 90-plus page law that evolved over time from something that was just a few pages to this tome that ultimately is one of the worst voter suppression laws that we've seen, i

that's been the history of the naacp, of civil rights of this country. although joe manchin may have a position today, we have to continue to push the congress as a whole, the senate specifically, so we can get to a place where we can ensure that all eligible citizens can fully engage. because if we don't, 2022 will look much worse than we've ever seen. our democracy is at stake. we must protect it and we have to do it now. >> americans being able to exercise the franchise is absolutely the good fight. and i wish you well in that. derek johnson, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >>> all right. so this ukraine perfect phone call. you knew it had to be a problem when trump called it perfect, because remember, that is his game always, right? nothing is a mistake, everything is right, nothing is bad, everything is perfect. we played you the exclusive audio that cnn got of rudy giuliani in his own words, absolutely putting pressure on ukrainians and making it clear that if they did what he wanted, he would talk to the president for them about that me

so the follow-up case came from naacp in the city of baltimore. who basically argued that well if you can't have discriminatory intent against individuals? you do have the city of baltimore suffering the loss of property taxes. 13.5 million dollars in property taxes were lost by the city of baltimore in 2010 as a result of the foreclosure crisis. that goes towards snow removal the building the schools the keeping opening of community centers and any number. of institutions in the city three suburbia in general and black suburbia in particular is largely multicultural. and still downwardly mobile. these are images from what became of railroad shop that neighborhood in miami that suffered master's placement of the 1940s? it's now called little haiti. large numbers of haitian immigrants have come in and placed their own stamp on this space. john's like decelene boulevard named after a national hero of haiti a statue of tucson to overture it stands on the corner of martin king jr. boulevard 48% of immigrants live in suburban spaces more than half of a

and what do you make of the naacp's criticism about the student loans?s persistence and in many ways it's worse now than in the '60s is a complex problem with a lot of complex problems. president biden spoke to some of those things, particularly home ownership. home ownership is the foundation of most american's wealth and that has been a persistent problems with black americans, but it's also access to capital for businesses and as you said, it's also student loans. it's a huge problem, the disparity of student loans so, out of the gate, even black folks who are able to have access to that higher education, it comes at a price that they pay for the rest of their lives. i, myself, put a home ownership for a lot longer than my white colleagues and friends because i had such high student loans coming out, which plays into wealth because of the wealth gap in the beginning. so it's a good start. it's going to take a multigovernmental private sector effort in order to really chip away at it but the fact we have the president talking about it and tying it to o

still rights groups like the naacp's legal defense fund and the aclu sued the state over that law. restrictions and that georgia law have a pronounced desperate impact upon voters from historically disenfranchised community. as a result so clear that it can only be intentional. can only be intentional. now almost three months later those groups are being joined by heavy, the u.s. department of justice watch today announced that on behalf of the american people, it will sue georgia to block that. miss nelson, it's a pleasure to have you here tonight. thank you so much for making time. >> a pleasure to be here. >> i hear the echo in your lawsuit from march and the justice department's action today talking about intentionally targeting voters of color. that language in your lawsuit today. the justice department saying the law was motivated, meaning intent was discrimination, motivated by discriminatory purpose. for us not lawyers, can you help us understand the gravity of that charge, and how important it is to whether or not this law is constitutional? >> absolutely. to allege that a
