well, an nfr writer believes that tom hanks didn't go far enough and wrote a piece entitled tom hankscist, time for him to be an anti-racist. he says hanks made a career out of playing righteous white men in films that often leave out black contributions. that piece receiving criticism for unnecessarily attacking hanks. but he posted a tweet saying he is proud of his work. he tweeted the insults and bullying are already piling up in my twitter timeline but i'm proud of my column today and tom hanks' op-ed about teaching the tulsa race massacre, i'm a fan but what he said is not enough. it's time for tom hanks to be anti-racist. that's how that's shaping up today. jillian: and booed for taking a knee, right? >> the national anthem kneeling controversy has gone international. fans of england soccer team booed players who took a knee during their game in the european championship against croatia yesterday. now, the english football association released a statement on this, saying they are doing this as a mechanism of peacefully protesting against discrimination, injustice and inequality.

now, an npr writer believes tom hanks didn't go far enough and wrote a piece titled tom hanks is a non-racistks has made a career out of playing righteous white men in films that often leash out black contributions. criticism started piling up on social media for unnecessarily attacking hanks. degan posted a tweet, saying he is proud of his work but doubled down on calls for tom hanks to be anti-racist. i think the definition of non-racist and anti-racist is new to some people. anti-racist means activeism, doing something about it. jillian: did it or didn't it happen, that's the big question. carley: this story, did you hear about it, it's wild, it's of biblical proportions, it happened in massachusetts. a lobsterman said he was swallowed whole by a humpback whale. watch. >> everything went black. i was like oh, my god, what the heck, where am i? i just got eaten by a whale. carley: michael pack card says he was in the whale's mouth for 30 seconds. he was very bruised but suffered no broken bones. one doctor is speaking out, saying there is something fishy about these claims because, yeah, he

this week, tom hanks was out with an op-ed in "the new york times," where he encourages people to learnhs of black history in this country. basically kind of an admonition for white people to learn black history, and to unlearn some of the geography that has sort of wall papered over the tougher parts of our history. i tend to feel optimistic about that because today's generation is so much more connected to information and so much more willing to search for information themselves, especially when you tell them they're not allowed to learn something like critical race theory, they'll be like, okay, what is it, why is it so bad, and i'm kind of optimistic that will happen but what about you? >> that's why i love you, joshua. your optimism. >> i mean one of us has to be. >> so let me put it this way. i appreciate tom hanks saying what he said, and i agree with him, white folks need to learn black history but they need to stop trying to re-write it first. and so when you stop trying to rewrite that history, whether it's 1619, 1968, or four weeks ago, or a year ago, with george floyd's deat

if this year's centennial taught us anything, it is that tom hanks is not alone.e massacre in 2019 from watchman. many may have just learned it last week. what else might our american history textbooks be omitting? joining us now is gillian brockel. a staff writer for "the washington post" history clubbing they're along the tulsa membership including a coup that happened in wilmington. there is also the one that burned down the town of rosewood, florida. the basis for the movie rosewood. although the movie is fictionalized. what is the hope in terms of what sharing these stories today might change or accomplish? >> i don't think people realize how often these happen. we have the meme showing up, massacres happened all over the country, north and south throughout history. and it's, you know, for something that is being shared on the internet, it's actually a pretty good meme. it is fairly accurate. the only thing i can find that isn't accurate is, like, some things are misspelled. but it gets a whole lot of the racist massacres against black people in history. but

then you saw in philadelphia tom hanks portrays a man with aids in an academy award winning movie. we have the script signed by the cast members of that. of course, ellen degeneres who comes out on the top cover of time magazine and the repercussions that resulted from that. her show was canceled soon after that, she received death threats because of it. nonetheless, that moment in time as sun is seen as a powerful moment for the lgbtq rights movement. we have more shows like will and grace, even vice president biden spoke about the tv show will and grace as doing more to get more americans used to the idea of same sex marriage than anything else because in that, they invited gay people into their living rooms, in cases when they felt people might not know gay people in their lives. from will and grace, we have movies like brooke back mountain, modern family, hugely popular sitcom. and of course caitlin jenner coming out on the cover of vanity fair as a transgender woman. these are all moments in time that moved attitudes about the movement, that brought popular understanding to th

like you picked a good piece that was from the movie the catch me if you can with tom hanks and was about the real scammer and identity, the frame abigail, and he did his skimming and identity. the now he works in security, but back then he would counterfeit checks and wash checks. and the thing is, it is incredibly easy to do. you get a hold of a check that has been written and with just bleach or acid tone common chemicals, you can wash clear out the name and the number, and you can write that check to yourself. now we think sometimes, you know, people will put checks in an envelope and put it out in their mailbox to alert the postal character. sometimes even as a little red flag on your mailbox that you flip up and let the mail carrier know. you're also letting that identity thief who is cruising around your neighborhood know that there's some mail going out and it might even be a check going to someone where they can grab. they also sometimes will look at this mail, take it, grab these checks and make it payable over to them. so washing is really easy to do and sometimes maybe even no

the actor tom hanks just wrote an op ed about it.ld, white, loves american history and says, look, growing up in oakland, california, i never knew about tulsa and i feel i was ronald. i was denied that chance to know about tulsa and to have the aftermath of that massacre impact my art, my ability to talk to my children about race, my understanding of american history. so when we think about division, part of the trick of white supremacy goes beyond the poll task. it goes beyond voter suppression. it actually goes beyond racial lynching. part of it is the narrative of war, what they have continue with usually lost. that narrative war starts right after the civil war and the lost cause. this idea that the south and racial slave by was a great thing and it was just defending their way of life. it is not talking about white riots in memphis in 1866. it's not talking about white supremacy and white violence in texas in the eastbound 60s and the 1870s. that's why we have frerd statues, why we have certain states celebrate the birthdays of

we saw it this week with a cancel culture of tom hanks. this concept is not unique to fox. to show those examples because they're on fox every day. but this is a concept much bigger than a single network. nationalization of news, of media, of politics is helping the scholars keep studying, and it's a phenomenon that my next guest refers to as nationalization of outrage. he says the nationalization of everything means there's constant fuel for the grievance fire. it's a big country, and there's always an outrage somewhere. david french, author of that piece, senior editor of the dispatch and columnist for "time" magazine. i didn't have the language for it. then i read your column and a couple days later i heard obama talk about it, and it all kind of connected for me. spell out how you view nationalization, what that means and why it's a problem. >> it's a two-step process. number one, what's really important to understand is we live in something called negative partisanship. that means people are republicans not so much because they love republican ideas but because they di
