trayvon martin and charleston and all of the things that happened that were racial and to continue thetorm, i know it is controversial and sensitive territory, i think many black people were relieved when president obama when he was out of office, because they saw in the minds of many, my black friends and i think you could generalize, they saw in the way people were responding to president obama. like when jan brewer got him on the tarmac and scolded him and wilson said you lie. and i think, in terms of race consciousness and how people were responding black and white, i think the obama presidency will be noted, i think he was absolutely right. 10 or 20 years too soon and the country was not ready for it and part of the back lash against hillary clinton. she's not a white guy, and just like obama was not a white guy. and you think about the whole president trump and then candidate or precandidate trump he was born in kenya birther nonsense, i think that race took a batterings. i don't think they have been this bad in quite a while in obama's presidency. he set up the economy from pres

and barr got involved with the trayvon martin death. she said if zimmerman isn't retweeted, it post his address. zimmerman's family took her to court. the case was clone out. the most famous controversy is when she performed the national anthem in 1990. president george h.w. bush called it disgraceful. you might remember a few years ago that roseanne created a short-lived series about her life as a farmer in hawaii and she called it "roseanne's nuts." >> shepard: thanks, trace. if you're headed to twitter to condemn one side or the other on what has quickly become a boiling controversy, the bots are there with you. so expect on your twitter timeline or your facebook feed the bots to be at work today. they are all the time. they have been since the meddling in the 2016 election and they want to divide us about ourselves as a society. how could an international company like disney sit around and let it happened? how could there? isn't there anything we can be united on? more ahead on the cancellation of "roseanne." certainly abc knew what

who have questions about the many men about the starbucks guys but men even worse, martin entry trayvon martin who is been killed by the police, that's all caps nick was. he was holding his country to the standards it stands for. and yet, the president of the united states called him a son of a pitch. i don't know how many of you have watched roseann's bar of the same national anthem. have you seen that? it is terrible, it is a mockery. and yet president trump calls her up when she starts her new show to congratulate her. he's not a son of a bench. >> and then we come to the ways in which her arguments are raised, many years ago a black woman called -- part of the hash take me to move limit. nobody talked about it until last year when alyssa milano brought this up. she's the same words and same # and she becomes the face of the movement. i find that interesting. why were we not listening earlier even appear on stage we have talked about wonderful students in parkland, florida. we have students write here at the university of missouri who stood up to raise their voices against the injustice of

let's go all the way back to trayvon martin who had iced tea and skittles but george zimmerman perceived him as a threat. then comes the interaction between black males, law enforcement or wannabe law enforcement and we end up with a young african-american male unarmed african-american male that's now dead. we have to get past that so you can look at the starbucks incident, you can look at the four african-american women playing golf and people called the police on them because they were going too slow. so are the black family that was barbecuin' in a park and they call the its r the police on them. at some point, the police have to make better decisions. then again our white fellow citizens have to stop perceiving african-americans as a threat to them simply because of the color of their skin. >> what's striking me, the congressman is talked about biases people have when they call the cops, how roseanne has said about muslims, palestinians, all sorts of groups even before today, it's just explicit rhetoric of bigotry and there's a real question how much that is the ground for that is sh

. >> we can all remember with horror and shame what we witnessed as americans and watching trayvon martin there was great unrest in the country. this is not in any way to criticize or pit one group versus another, especially the people who wear the uniform of policeman every day. the truth is, racial divide was on the rise two and half years ago and certainly today we have a significant divide as well. we looked at that and i decided we should have a companywide meeting, unscripted, just like this we would talk about race, racial divide, and give everyone a companywide form to share it. people without retribution or concern share their pain, their bias, a young white woman stood up and said, my family's was members of the kkk, and this is language i heard my whole life and i didn't know what was wrong. we heard african-americans talk about the fact that they feel they are not being valued in the system the playing field is not equal. we went around the country and have these meetings in almost every major city among starbucks. people started asking us, what is starbucks going to do? we go

brothers that been killed by cops, a lot of my national writing career came into being after trayvon martin got killed and about about that and spent several years writing in the press weekly about the things happening to black man. my commitment to black "men in black" men in black men's lives in black men flourishing is on paper and i got voluminous receipts to show for it. everybody who says that to me i switch no where his receipts are because his receipts don't match mine. i'm a black feminist because black women have the right with the scent of center of her own story. because our priorities matter. with a black man sometimes feel entitled to take up all the racial space in the room is a problem and i think it's black women who most consistently say we are trying for everybody. we want to bring the women and the children and the dudes, everyone to have place. i think there are real problems because i think that it becomes easy to go hard at white women for the racism. i want to be clear on not a fan of white women and the racism, and i demand of white women it will have any solidarity

and the failure to undergo that require death that requires embodied -- i published a piece on trayvon martin in "the news york times" to the article generated over 600 comments. one white person wrote me quote your stock in. is white guilt. your vision of justice is payback. you peddle your racial hatred and that makes you a racist. a very evil you accuse me of. i read your screen on a summer sea. you write like one produce a special place in for those that lead others astray. say hi to teddy kennedy and hitler when you get there" math. and that's a nice one.

top justice department official to give that briefing to republican congressman devin nunes and trayvon martin. the white house says the meeting is for nunes and gowdy to, quote, review highly classified and other information they have requested. now whatever sensitive information the white house is ordering the justice department to reveal, it's only going to get revealed to those two pro-trump republican members of congress, which is unusual, and we'll talk about that in a moment. but it's not like anybody is hiding what the purpose is of this meeting. the president's russia lawyer, rudy giuliani, said a couple of days ago as his client, the president had started publicly demanding exposure of this fbi source, mr. giuliani told reporters that his client, the president, needs more information about this confidential fbi source so he can know what the special counsel has on him in terms of evidence before he agrees to an interview with the special counsel. quote, we can't let our guy go in and be questioned without knowing this. giuliani, quote, acknowledged that the fbi releasing information

terrible thing that when president obama was being chastised for supplementing that he thought that trayvon martin could've been his child, that when he was lambasted, that the rest of us didn't push back. we have to remember this is the legacy of america. it's also, i don't believe it's permanent. race will always be a marker. we use race to tell ourselves stories about who we are. we use gender to do the same thing. our opportunities to make sure that the stories we tell our better stories and that the responsibilities that we attribute to those who have power are actually true and that there held accountable to them. >> anybody else? >> i'm a big fan of tom. you mention trump needs to go think and i followed his tour. unfortunately i don't think he is coming to near. he was in atlanta. did you go and do you think his approach is better than those in washington? >> so i am a huge fan of mr. stier, and i wasn't able to make it fit. i was campaigning so i didn't make it. here's what i would say. i think impeachment is absolutely a lever we need to look at but i think we create these false dichotom
