called for a mass movement not just to fight discrimination, but to proclaim, no more racism, no more sexism, no more hatred. we stand by the arab, middle eastern, and the others and the sisters of sexual identities. the legislation today moves us toward this goal. it addresses racial profiling by requiring the police department and terrorism taskforce to abide by the same civil rights laws that law enforcement must follow. by limiting the power to enter into secret memorandums, the restores a civilian oversight to the police department, which is the cornerstone of cooperation in good faith. on behalf of many individuals and organizations, i urge passage of this ordinance. >> the first of all, i would like to say, i am in support of this ordinance. and in terms of timing, it is amazing that just this last saturday i was leaving safeway supermarket in the western addition and i was adopted by a security guard at the door. he asked me for my receipt, i asked why, and he said of a suspicious. i have a heavy on. i was,. i suggested to the security guard that maybe we need to look the your policy

my own age or adults like she mentioned about things like domestic violence, sex, suicide, racism, sexism, social justice, bullying, things that you know about as a teen but don't know how they are called and don't know how to talk to other people about them. when a teammate of mine, one of the captains of the football team killed himself in high school, peer resources was a place i could go to where i had support and talk to support, where i could learn to talk to other people about this and this is before wellness septemberers were around and peer resources was the place. at lincoln, i get incredible things, horrible things and wonderful things, but mostly, i feel confident that i have the skills now as a teacher, peer resources teacher because i was a part of the program and because i benefited from it. i'm happy to be back as a teacher, fourth year at lincoln high school and glad to have wonderful students as well. >> i supported in creating united players with my facilitation skills in the 1994 riots. so i believe that schools are here to give you options and peer resources has given

this is a combination of racism and sexism and that has a devastating impact on women of color.ome of the numbers are astonishing. in 2009, a study showed that the net worth, the wealth, what you owe-what you own for african- american women who are not married, the number is $100. 18 years and over, the median net worth of african-american women is $100 and latino women, $120 but for white women, it is $41,500. that is one of the starkest examples of how the combination of sexism and racism devastates women of color. those numbers are heavily influenced by the drop in housing prices. they're mostly driven by housing values and white women benefit from owning houses which, over all around the country, did not go down in value as much as four women of color. it is a startling disparity that in the women's movement, we need to focus on changing. host: what do you think about that larose and comments about ann romney? guest: i don't use the phrase that women work or don't work. my mom never worked outside the home and she referred to her self as she doesn't work. she was probably on

. >> if you want to put down divisiveness, you want to put down sexism, you want to put down home phobfoe homophobia, y to put down racism, you want to put down taking action against people and not giving them fair oppounities who have physical or mental disabilities, then we are -- >> on the same team. >> all right. if you want to put down ignorance of people who are supposed to be educated but don't act like it, then we are on the same team. my sisters, if you want to exrience concepts like truth and justice for all, equality for all, fairness for all, then we are on the same team. we've been through the fire, my sisters, but one thing that is clear to us is that we're not going to go back because we are on the same team. if we are on the same team, then it seems to make sense that there is something we have to do. how do we do it in 2012? because we can't wait, as dr. martin luther king said, we cannot wait. it's time for us to do it now. so, we cannot just get mad, because as my friend, dick gregory, always says, when we get angry, plain old anger can consume and destroy us. but if we

from unthinking sexism from the men who still are setting the agendas of our media and all of that.ence on the part of women. about what our role is supposed to be. basically, we have to have a certain level of attractiveness in order to be heard, right? and there is a multibillion-dollar industry that you know, is very rooted in psychological studies and all of that to figure out how exactly to make me feel like it's empowering for me to be more beautiful, somehow. >> jennifer newsom, a filmmaker behind a great documentary about misrepresentation about the underrepresentation of women in positions of influence and power and how this gaze works to keep women in their place. jennifer thanks for joining us, i really enjoyed the film. >> thank you so much. >> what was your reaction reading that ashley judd op-ed? and what brought you, because i feel like you're someone who kind of had a sort of radicalized moment at some point in which with the scales fell from your eyes about exactly what the culture, what cultural messages we were sending to women and girls. >> thank you, well i appl

taking the time to know the context, to know the people, to understand the dynamics of racism, and sexism, and classism, of capitalism, to understand the dynamics, to know where the people are hurting because you've been able to listen to them, not to what you want to hear but to what they are saying. once you are able to accept all that and take all that and recognize that you are a servant of the lord, not a leader for the lord, but a servant of the lord, who has been called to lead a certain amount of people then you can start being a pastor. leadership in the black community is different too. let me say very briefly that that the leadership in the black community has all come out of the black church. so it becomes key even in the lutheran context, to recall the black church roots for black people. those two; the context, the history, become very, very crucial, we don't want to through out the baby with the bath water, lutheranism has a tremendous amount to offer in terms of being a reformed tradition going back to the notion of being a confessing church. a confessing church does what?

. >> if there is -- if there's one place that i do see just living life continuing sexism, it is the labeling of by incredibly aggressive ambitious men labeling other women as too ambitious, too aggressive. >> there's another word i think. >> and no, and i think that is -- i think that is extremely unfortunate and i think that, you know, i mean for women have to not obviously let that get in their way of negotiating but i think men have to also check themselves because i have -- i just never ever hear somebody call a guy you know, he's too ambitious. >> right. >> but you do hear that. i think that is something where you know, we have to -- men have to be very careful about you know, unconscious or subconscious biases. i'm going to make a bet about something though and fib me, cece, i have no analysis for it. it's just a hunch. i think the revolution of young women in competitive sports in the last 20, 30 years is going to change the culture. i see it in the young women in my life, and i think that that may have a very positive impact on the degree of women who feel more comfortable f

the challenge sexism right there when it happens -- to confront the violence when we see it happeningen we think it is happening -- when we know something about it. that is one way we can begin to change the culture. from what i understand, i don't know too much about it, but too short has begun to retreat. has he not? he has begun to retreat based on the feedback and response. >> based on the fact that folks began to wonder. this is the thing. listen to your point, bright? let's just use this strategy is the last resort. what did we do before we didn't have the drop squad? you all know what 44% stands for? 44% of the women in this country who were sexually assaulted and raped are under the age of 18. consider that number for second before you start blaming this on r. kelly. with that kind of dynamic, first it starts with an individual petition and then it moves off the color of change with 55 signatures -- 55,000 signatures in a petition. it creates this coalition that will be a national movement. if we are talking about protecting our girls, we need to project all girls. the strateg

the construction doesn't open up the idea so much as sexism. he could only answer it if he was running augusta. you don't have to manage the company to have a moral position on something so clear about equality in this country. >> critics, i can just hear them now, will probably come out saying president obama is using the masters golf tournament as a prop because we're having this big discussion about the war on women. is that fair criticism? >> not really. it's a huge sporting event and it's huge note worthy. here you have a woman running ibm, a ceo, which is an extraordinary situation, which should not be extraordinary but still is noteworthy. what we're seeing is a declining to comment just like augusta is trying to dodge this question as well. this should go out and make a stand. it's not that difficult. >> she's the ceo. this is one of the big advertising opportunities for ibm. they don't want to miss it with the masters. she could be seen as somewhat unselfish to let this go by. to my knowledge, she hasn't commented on it at all. but oth

who challenge sexism right there when it happens to confront the violence when we see it happen and when think it's happening or when we know something about it. to me, that's one way that we can begin to change the culture because from what i understand, i don't know too much about it, but from what i understand, too short has begun to retreat, has he not? >> uh-huh. >> based on the feedback, based on the response to what he said. >> based on the fact that folks began to organize. you know, this is the thing, and this is to your point, right? let's just use the drop squad strategy as the last resort, right? what do we need to do before we then have to drop squad too short to somebody? >> right. >> so part of that is there's an organizational mechanism already in our community in which folks respond to these things. y'all know what 44% stands for? the fact that 44% of the women in this country who are sexually assaulted and raped are under the age of 18. consider that number for a second before you start blaming all this on r. kelly, right? because it's not like he rapedÑ all of 'em.ÑÑ

we would be lying to ourselves if we did not acknowledge that racism, sexism, homophobia and all kindstill ills still divide our country. >> i think we are having those conversations. >> i think we're yelling at each other, pointing fingers at each other. it's tragic you can go back to the 1850s, 1860s and you saw native whites having beef, quote, unquote, to foreign whites from other places, and here we are in 2012 still having those conversations about immigration. it shows that we haven't had real conversations about what it is to be an american and who should get to have the american experience. >> some of the comments from the justices, looking at the law, not at the emotional issue of racial profiling and race, but just the law. that could stand. >> it could stand. and i think that it would be tragic. when you talk about the people that are affected by it, i support immigration rights in this country. i think everyone has a right to come to this country. again, except for slavery, it was built on the backs of immigrant people. everyone here -- >> that's the american experience. >

then -- people don't seem to understand, the reason they don't admit women is nothing to do with sexismthey are just trying to keep them away from tiger woods. he needs to focus. because he loves sex so much, he's such a fan of it. tiger woods had a decent opening day. a lot of guys are rooting for him, which -- if you are married, particularly if you are married to a woman, could be a tough thing to do because tiger woods is about as popular with women as cla mid ya. you have to be careful if you are cheering for him. if you should find yourself in that situation this weekend, here are some tips on how to handle it. >> how to root for tiger woods around your wife. first, remind your wife you love her. >> oh. pretzels? i love pretzels. just like i love you. >> second. talk about what a good guy phil mickelson is. >> man, phil is such a good guy. he's been married 16 years. such a family man. >> not the tricky part. if you are caught rooting for tiger, end the cheer with an insult. >> come on, tiger, pull it together, you home wrecking son of a bitch. >> or? >> come on, that's it, tiger.

. >> if there's one place that do i see just living life continuing sexism is the labeling by incredibly ambitious men labeling other women as too ambitious, too aggression. >> there's another word, i think. [laughter] >> i think that is extremely un fortunate. i mean, for women have to not obviously let -- not let that get in their way. i never hear a guy being called he's too ambitious. but that's something that men have to be careful about, you know, unconscious or sub conscious biases. i want to make a bet about something. forgive me cici. i have no analysis for it. it's just a hunch. i think women in competitive sports in the last 20, 30 years is going to change the culture. i see it in the young women in my life. i think that that may have a positive impact on the degree of women who feel more comfortable -- >> getting in the game. >> being competitive and not thinking there's anything wrong with that. >> two athletes in the room, listen up. you make a good point. i also think the fear of being that word whether it's male in the rooms imposing it on the woman or the women thinking
