in selma, it still leads to the voting rights act. not important in terms of the divisions among the sclc. a boy, wattses, the black world changes with watts in a way that -- of course in '64 there are riots in philadelphia, riot in harlem, and they seem to mean something, but, boy, watts is different. >> guest: it was. terrible. >> host: and so it's not even the sheer violence of it. i think a lot of it has to do with -- i think people were more shocked by the riot in california. the riot in l.a. tell us about that. how does it really change the black movement? or just the way people perceive civil rights? i guess another way of putting it. what does it do to black community, to white liberalism. what happens with watts? >> guest: to white liberalism, what it does is -- a number of white liberals were shoulder-to-shoulder with blacks in the south, some were killed. after watts a lot of them sat back and said, hmm, these guys, they're not christ like nonviolent civil rights people. they're hoodlums. they're burning -- burn, baby, burn

selma still leads to the voting rights act. it's not inherently important in the divisions among sncc. but why? the world changes in the course of 64 there are the rights in philadelphia and in harlem to mean something. it isn't even the sheer violence of it. i think a lot of it has to do -- i think people were shocked by the right in california. tell us about that and how does it change the movement or the way that people perceive civil rights. what does it do to the black community, what does it do to white liberalism? what happens? >> to the white liberalism what it does is a number of liberals were shoulder to shoulder with blacks in the south, some of them got killed and lots of them sat back and said these guys are not like the nonviolent civil rights people, they are hoodlums. they are bad people fighting police bringing down buildings, and so this sort of makes a lot of white people cautious. they are not really sure what is happening here and they don't like what they see. i'm not saying it to give up on freedom strugg

to take that price and govern. >> despite his visit to selma, obama didn't spend much time discussingace during the campaign. his strong candidacy was the historic statement. >> race was very, very complicated. barack obama wanted to make a race speech as early as the iowa caucuses and his campaign said, you know what, let's not do that. i think everybody can see that you're black. >> one of the ironies, i think, of my dear brother, barack obama, now president obama's victory, was that we have a relative moratorium on serious discussions of race. and that's partly because his strategy -- his strategy was to evade issues of race. >> but in march 2008, explosive videos of obama's pastor, jeremiah wright, hit the airwaves. >> no, no, no. not god bless america, god [ muted ] america! >> the reaction was damning. reverend wright had officiated at obama's wedding and baptized his children. their connection might have tagged obama as an angry black man, an image his campaign worked hard to avoid. the association threatened to derail everything. but obama seized the chance. to explain his tie

i had the privilege of marching earlier this year in the annual march from selma, montgomery. it was an incredible feeling. there i was with congressman john lewis, someone who has an historic role from the original march and so many others. it was ethel kennedy. it was reverend al sharpton. there were hispanic leaders there, including myself. everyone came together. when we came over the bridge, i got a glimpse into what the might have been like in the past. i also got a glimpse of what the future looks like. it was powerful to me to know we could come this far after enduring so many challenges. and the fact we were there to get the fighting against voter suppression loss and anti- immigrant and anti-hispanic loss gives me great confidence that we can tackle many important issues we face today. you have a commitment from the national council of la raza to help figure the solutions out so we can keep the country stronger. thank you very much.

he wanted, if you're going after in selma reform, you want ideally to have, you know, bipartisanship and pieces of the democratic presidents of the they could not walk away from it. and so he believe that he could leverage, you know, the deep conservatism of the two-party into action, but he has failed to do so. and the tea party freshmen with whom i spent a great deal of time, and i have spent time with an awful lot of them, you know, like him personally, found an admirable in the way of a genial ceo, but certainly not as their real leader. and that has been implicitly to clear throughout the hundreds of congress. now, the majority leader, a bit different, somewhat younger, very, very, very clever guy. he has his own back channels and the obama white house with by -- vice-president biden. they found that they meet each other as information sources. i believe it was biden, this would not surprise any of you, that was leaking to eric cantor that the speaker was pursuing separate talks with obama during the so-called biden talks of which eric cantor was a part. this may cantor livid. h

chief correspondent for mcclatchy newspaper steve selma.me to you both. >> thank you. >> steve, why don't you head on up here? i'm going to begin with amy. i want to read you part of speaker boehner's op-ed on fiscal cliff negotiations. if we're serious about getting our economy moving again, solving our debt, and restoring prosperity for american families we need to repeal obama care and enact commonsense step by step reforms to start with lowering the cost of health care. would democrats consider putting any part of the president's signature health care legislation on the table to negotiate? >> no. it's just not going to happen. i mean you remember last year, democrats wouldn't -- refused to budge on this issue. they're not going to do it again. president obama's out there, all campaigns saying health care is law now. now that he's in office again for a second term, there's no way this happens. it didn't happen last time. it won't happen this time. >> so then, steve, i thought he said affordable health care act was the law of the land a c

she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma and a preacheratlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome." yes, we can. a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america can change. yes, we can. america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves: if our children should live to see the next century, if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann nixon cooper, what change will they see? what progress will we have made? this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time -- to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids, to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace, to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many

i had the privilege of march and most recently this year in the annual march from selma mike on my end for us to montgomery and alabama it was an incredible feeling. there i was with congressman john lewis, someone who obviously have the historic role from original march and so many others. it was at the kennedy. who is reverend al sharpton and there were hispanic leaders there including myself. the patient pacific american leaders and everyone came together. but we came over that bridge, i got a glimpse into what that might have been like in the past and i also go got a glimpse of what the future looks like. and it was powerful to me to know that we can come this far after her in so many challenges. the fact we were there together fighting against voter suppression was an anti-immigrant and anti-hispanic was that we came together as a coalition. he gives me great confidence to think that we can tackle many important issues we face today. you have a commitment from the national council to work with you while you to help review solution so we can keep the country stronger. thank you ver
