bishop tutu talked about the apartheid and you write about how apartheid not only corrupted the average person in south africa it ultimately destroyed or badly corrupted anyway the elites how is that happening in america. yeah the did this time glad you're is that to quote because i think it's such a profound moral observation about systems of oppression systems of hierarchy systems of inequality which is they there but he basically says look the obviously you know we were the apartheid system was worse for the black africans who were who were ground down under the heel of tyranny but it also degraded and debased the the moral core of the souls of the white africans who are running the system and the argument that i make in the book about inequality is not the kind of argument that i think we tend to see about inequality which is a good argument not one i don't disagree with which is all the ways inequality is bad for people at the bottom of the social pyramid what i'm more of what i'm talking about is that inequality makes people at the top of the social pyramid worse but the more elit

a local abc correspondent in washington approached me and said have your father and archbishop tutu ever met? i said no. wouldn't it be marvelous to have a conversation between the two of them about their lives and about their experiences dealing with the issues of race in their complex countries? i said it would be marvelous. so we asked each of them if they found a time in their extremely busy calendars, and we brought them to the island and they talked on camera unscripted every day for a week to read was marvelous and was on scripted. we asked if we could bring a second generation into the conversation so they brought seven south africans from different backgrounds, seven americans from different backgrounds who stood by the league's from different backgrounds and they met with each other in the doldrums of the stereotypical images the had of each other's country and with people within the country and we had the opportunity to film the background with people in the united states and in south africa and when the film was completed and it is aired on pbs in 2001 we then took it to joha

but in the protest letter, archbishop desmond tutu of south africa and other laureates said the show "pays homage to no one anywhere and continues and expands on in a glorious tradition of glorifying war and armed violence, preparing for war is neither amusing nor entertaining." on monday, a group of demonstrators rallied outside nbc's new york headquarters to demand the program's cancellation. >> the military spends millions of dollars trying to recruit young men and women into service. i think these kind of shows make it look more fun and interesting, and makes people want to go out there and do it. >> my son is in a real war, not a game. he does not win any prizes. if he is lucky, he will come home with his life and all of his limbs and sanity. >> those are some of the headlines. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. today we turn to syria for our first segment. earlier today, syria's prime minister riad hijab said the sirte regime is collapsing " morally, financially, and militarily." his comments come a week after he defected to j

is the moral core of the book and a profound observation of any hierarchy, which comes from desmond tututhat is the comment no future with hierarchy. even supporters of apartheid circuit is in the system which they implemented in which they supported so enthusiastically. and the problem of dehumanizing another and inflicting harm in suffering, the perpetrator is dehumanized as well. we have a system of course it should be quite clear, but we have a system that cultivates a bunch of really nasty and pernicious in the elite that it produces. in the system of inequality deems them in certain ways to dysfunction. it creates a self justifying an post-pdc dundas oil the time. i'll speak for myself right now. you know, successfully marching through meritocratic institution requires that the end of the process, although it's an ongoing process to require says the send it to to read for themselves the story about overcoming, moving from the outside to the inside. i think you know myself as a working-class kid from the bronx and my mom said organizer make as an educator and i worked my way up and

but desmond tutu and 8 other nobel laureates have called for its outright cancellation. letter says this program pays homage to no one anywhere and expands on an inglorious tradition of glorifying war and violence. the requires among the nobel peace prize winners. by am not among them. nbc says the show is staying on air. megyn: unbelievable. >>> you heard of tennis elbow? how about texting thumb.

nobel peace prize winner desmond tutu and eight nobel larry rats written a open letter to the nbc networkrotesting the reality showed that aired last night. they pair actors, and celebrities with military veterans, run through obstacle courses, jump out of helicopters navy seal style and training them to fire long range weapons. fun stuff. the nobel peace prize winners have a problem with that. their open letter sent even before the show premiered last night, called on nbc to cancel, "stars earn stripes". says in part that program pays homage to no one anywhere and expands on inglorious tradition of glorifying war and armed violence. but nbc and the show's host retired army general and former presidential candidate, wesley clark they aim to honor and salute those who serve. so a couple of interesting points pop up here. first, unclear how nine nobel laureates were so clued in so early to an nbc show before it even premiered. i'm still trying to figure that one out and who put them up to this. second, it is unclear why the nobel peacemakers were not similarly upset by the new g.i. joe film
