but white kept his own counsel. one of his first opinions, in fact, was a dissent on the decision invalidating criminal punishment for habitual use of drugs, which the majority of the court thought penalized a status, not an act, in violation of the due process clause of the 14th amendment. the case was called robinson versus california. and white wrote that the majority in the case was writing into the constitution its own abstract notions of how to best handle the narcotics problem, displacing the expert understanding of either the states or the congress. the early dissent was an overture to his first famous opinion, another dissent, in a case now known to every american with access to a television set, miranda versus arizona. white viewed the majority opinion as inconsistent with the texts, precedent, and sound policy. his opinion closed on a raw note, widely quoted at the time. "in some unknown number of cases, the court's rule will return a killer, rapist or other killer to the streets and the environment which

and the white house is getting fbi reports because a friend of the fbi is -- a friend of the white house is the acting director, but also the fbi assumes that, you know, that the white house ought to know about this. so you have, in a sense, the white house being tipped off as the fbi continues its investigation, the white house is trying to figure out a way to stop the fbi investigation. so here the president is talking to john ehrlichman, his domestic adviser, about what jeb macgruder, is going to have to do to stop the investigation. at this point in july of '72, it's assumed he's going to have to take the fall. the president then suggests what he should say to investigators. >> well, the story

, less white, least white and not white. many people who have been in this country originally, or who have come here as immigrants, very different than african-americans who did not come here on their own, have been considered not to be white. even people here who are women were not considered to be people. >> and the question? >> yeah. and -- no, the question is, as we start looking at this issue in today's world, where white people are becoming a minority in this country, is there a difference in how we actually approach it in terms of how we change what's going on in this country? whether we consider who is not white or who is black? >> that's a very interesting question. and i think that one of the lessons that i draw from the stories of these three families is that in some ways maybe it's less important to talk about race than talk about racism and inequality. so, you know, we can think of the blackness in terms of black blood, but plenty of white people have black blood, too. what does that leave us when we think about

even though 63.7% of white are nonhispanic whites, which is a reminder, that the white vote is stillate blo bloc that cannot be ignored. a last time a presidential candidate won the white vote? one clue, the same year that the 24th amendment abolished the jim crow practice of the poll tax. yes, the last time a democrat won the white vote was in 1964, wh lyndon johnson routed goldwater. jimmy carter came close, with 47%. no other democrat became within striking distance of the white majority. bill clinton won 39%. president obama made up ground with white voters when he won 43% of support in 2008. this past tuesday, a gallup daily tracking poll indicated that the president is now losing ground among those white voters, polling 38% support over the last month. seems worry i some, until you remember that 38% is exactly the level of support that candidate obama enjoyed in the spring of 2008, according to the same folks at gallup. what should we make of the elusive white voters. will president obama find ways to win him back in his election coalition? can he win with robust racial coaliti

both white and his older brother clayton s. sam white worked beet fields from the tichl that they could wield a hoe. winters were harsh. spring brought strong winds off the front rains, and summers were hot and dry. character was shaped in the relentless competition between the land and the elements. self-reliance was not an ab strakz. by graduating first in his class like his brother before him, byron white earned a full tuition scholarship to the university of colorado. there he was a star in three sports. football, basketball, and baseball. president of the student body, phi beta kappa, and like his brother before him, a roads scholar. his performance during his senior year is still statistically one of the most impressive in the history of intercollegiate football. it was capped by all american honors and bril yand plays. so great of the press interest in the young student athlete that the new york basketball writers association had a showcase for white and his teammates. white delayed his mat rick las vegas to accept the h

>> between the bush white house and the obama white house, i'd say 14, 15 times. >> since the 1705 has been in place, how many times have you been to the white house? this administration, how many times have you been to the white house? >> i'd say six or seven times. >> who did you talk with when you were at the white house? >> well, i was a part of a large group. once meeting with president obama. >> did you talk about this loan guarantee program when you met with president obama. >> we talked about climate change. >> who else have you talked with at the white house? >> vice president biden. there i spoke with him about the clean energy standard. but mainly, i spoke with carol brown or with -- once with valerie jarrett. that was all about the nuclear guarantee program. >> you guys are also involved with the bright source project as well, correct? >> that's ivan project. >> are you familiar with this e-mail? this was brought up in our last hearing when mr. woolard was here with bright source. the e-mail from mr. woolard to mr. silver at the department of energy asking him to edit and p

good jobs, if that you are lawyering in white firms and working at an all-white bank or working at "the new yorker," just coincidence. they cannot be seen with us. so this is for us a loss. this is a source of pain and such a pain to us. and but the thing about it is that we mourn them because the word passed means synonym for dead. we mourn them because we can no longer see them again. what's so moving about your story of steven wahl. we see him for a long time trying to tenaciously hold on to his colored ancestors. they called them colored at that point.

today are white. this is the first time in history that white births registered below 50%, so says the leading demographer at the institution, dr. william fry. he says, we have been william f he says, we hain the last several years. the u.s. cencus data on the ship was made public for the 12- july. dr. fry says, last july. dr. fry says, "this is an important tipping ., a transformation from a mostly white baby boomer culture to the more globalized, multi- ethnic country that we are becoming." the new york times calls this a milestone for the nation. here's the times piece. "such a turn has been long- expected. but no one was certain when the moment would arrive. signaling a milestone for a nation whose governor. was founded by white europeans and has wrestled with issues of race from the days of slavery through a civil war, bitter civil rights battles and most recently highly charged debates over efforts to restrict immigration." question, is the hispanic birthrate surging or is the white birthrate be

aren't you whizzer white?" white took a sip of coffee, measured her slowly, and replied in a soft voice, "i was." f. scott fitzgerald famously said that there are no second acts in american lives. there must have been times when byron white wished that his first act could be forgotten once and for all. for his entire public career, white was constantly framed in the public eye by his headline-making first act, an act, so to speak, that made him a nationwide household name while he was still a teenager but which penalized the shy, modest young man with expectations he could not foresee, did not wish, and sometimes could not meet. but we're already ahead of the game. summary of act one -- byron raymond white was born june 17th, 1918, in ft. collins, colorado, but he grew up 11 miles away in wellington, population 500 at the time. his father managed a lumberyard. wellington's economy was dominated by sugar beets, a crop demanding attention constantly and back-breaking work. both white and his older brother, clayto

the white house created this investigatory unit in the white house, and it didn't use subpoenas to acquire information. that's where the problem arises. here, a little bit later in 1971, the white house wants better political intelligence for the pending 1972 elections. the president appears was concerned about his re-election. and so here we have information laying out for you what we know and what one can know about the extent to which the white house sponsored what was then called a dirty tricks operation to undermine the campaigns of potential adversaries and launched an intelligence organization that would use wiretapping and surreptitious entry to acquire information about the president's adversaries. the exhibit is very clear about what we know and what we don't know. in fact, there's a whole panel here that lays out based on the trial testimony, on the tapes, on the documents that the watergate special prosecution force and the house judiciary committee looked at and we've looked at, and materials that we had in our collection, that we were able to release in the last few years. th

this is not from the white house collection or from the white house suite. you can see here, obviously, the antiquity influence. the splayed legs. also, another chair the finlays created as well. what also you'll see as a huge trend here is the caned seat. the 40-piece suite of furniture the finlays made were painted and lacquered in white and gold. here is one of those examples which you'll be able to see closer up later on. but this is one of the couches that the finlays created that latrobe designed coming from the grecian examples he saw and used from thomas hope's book. here's a close-up of that design. these are all on display for you to see afterwards. here's an example from what the cushion looks like that you could see formerly on the last design we saw. more of that. okay. and the -- some of the furniture was also grained in imitation of highly figured mahogany. mahogany at this time was not a native wood of the united states. it was mostly imported and very expensive. fancy furniture, although it was very fashionable, was also sort of budget savin

good jobs, if that you are lawyering in white firms and working at an all-white bank or working at "the new yorker," they cannot be seen with us. so this is for us a loss. this is a source of pain and such a pain to us. and but the thing about it is that we mourn them because the word passed means synonym for dead. we mourn them because we can no longer see them again. what's so moving about your sfoer of steven wahl, we see him for a long time trying to t tenaciously hold you to his colored an sesors. they called them colored at that point. his father was the first black commissioned cap faine in the american civil war. the first everything in washington, and to some extent he's trying to hold onto it. at some point he makes a decision that he's tired of sitting on the back of the bus, and he biuilds himself a beautiful house in the brooklyn neighborhood. he goes there, marries a white wife. goes there with his blonde, blue-eyed daughter and enrolls her in public school. and what happens then, of course, comes a knock on the door. right? people who know -- because had he followed hi

people that become white, once they become white and they can no longer be seen in public with us and can no longer really risk -- especially if they have good jobs, if they're lawyering in white firms, working at an all-white banking, working at, say, the new yorker -- no, just coincidental. they cannot be seen with us. so this is for us a loss. this is a source of pain and such a pain to us. and but the thing about it is that we mourn them because the word passed means synonym for dead. we mourn them because we can no longer see them again. what's so moving about your story of steven wahl, we see him for a long time trying to tenaciously hold on to his colored ancestors. they called them colored at that point. his father was the first black commissioned captain in the civil war, the first everything in washington, and to some extent, he's trying to hold on to it. but at some point, he makes a decision that he's tired of sitting on the back of the bus, and he builds himself a beautiful house in a brooklyn neighborhood. he goes there, marries a white wife. goes there with his blond, b

the white house didn't have very many. i mean, i can't -- scarlett hills, i can't remember who they might have had. >> the secretarial staff. >> the secretarial staff. this is the point act sexism that was made last night. it was an invisible world, and here we had -- we would go into the white house and we'd get nothing from these senior -- from higbee, or higbee had a higbee. the deputy assistants and whatnot, but if you talked to their secretaries and they felt comfortable, weren't represented by somebody from the white house staff that worked outside, including remarkably john's own secretary, who was a very forthright person and gave us enormous help. that's when we began to realize we could reconstruct things. so there was a day, i remember going to the monical restaurant right near capitol hill. they have paper -- cloth tops over -- paper -- >> tablecloths. >> table cloths over the regular white tablecloth, and we sat there and said, this is not the way to investigate. i was systems analyst among other things and ma

you can imagine that if you are going to have a white zone, you would not want for people to be able to actually obstruct it, which is the way the law currently works. what we are proposing is simply, in a very, and sensible way, adding a new section to the police code that would make it illegal to obstruct the white zone or the adjacent sidewalk between the curb and fronting the building. by obstruction, we mean the placement of objects, materials, substances or other material on the sidewalk. anytime you take up public space, you want to be sure your crafting it in a very narrow way. i want to thank hillary in my office who has been working with community members and with the city attorney's office to be sure this is done in the most narrowly tailored way that we can do it. the prohibition that we're talking about would apply during the hours that the white zone is restricted to passengers loading and unloading. it really strikes the white -- right balance in making sure that open spaces in san francisco remain open and public. it is specifically targeted to deal with the issue tha

this is a white man's war. the united states government has legalized slavery its entire existence, there is no state where you are treated equally. you have been listening to all of this about a white man's war. the black families seemed to be closer to the economic margins. your family will probably face hardship and you might be discriminated against. why would you want to enlist and some say don't for all of those reasons. and my point here is we shouldn't, we shouldn't talk about white opinion, black opinion. there are divisions even among the groups you think of as unified. at the end of the day, though, many prominent black northerners did encourage enlistment and come out in favor. notably frederick douglas. he worked hard as a recruiter among black soldiers. men of color to arms, that's douglass' line. his notion is you put those brass letters on a black man and there is no question not only has he gotten freedom but citizenship so. for douglass, and for people who think like him, army service is an im

where the problem is most severe, i looked at the white middle class anxiety and a lot of white middlete for barack obama in 2008, but they are feeling the stress in their pocket book and feeling strain and know a family member who doesn't have a job and you put your finger on it. the economic issues are trumping the issues of it's cool to be for barack obama. >> it's a lot less about race i think than it is about history. four years ago, obama was a phenomenon nan and a historical moment and opportunity. you can only make history once and he made it. now he is no longer the historical figure. he is the gray haired president who has a four-year record that he has to defend and contend with. we are talking about two different barack obama. he is not less or more black than he was four years ago. it's the historical component that is the determinate factor. >> one last point. barack obama does have to get 40% of the white vote. it's hard to go over the finish line if he doesn't get 4 out of 10. he has work to do. >> there is the period on this segment. thank you. >> i said enough already

white house and hunt's number at the white house. so this is one of the reasons that alex very quickly got a call. alex, just follow me for a minute. when you heard about the break-in, what

and in effect, it made invisible white criminality. we don't talk about white criminality. we don't talk about the white prison population. nobody, no average person on the street can tell you how many white men are in prison or white men between the ages of 18 and 35, who are likely to spend time in prison. actually, the truth is the number is greater now today than it was 30 years ago, because the size of the prison system has also increased the number of white men. >> so this is how black criminality emerges along with disease and intelligence, the size of the brain? >> correct. >> as a fundamental measure of black inferiority? >> correct. >> with consequences down to the moment. >> that's right. >> so given the weight of history that you carry with you as a scholar and as a human being, given the heavy hand of history on our backs, how are you going to celebrate the fourth of july? seriously. can you be unaware of all this when you're having that barbecue? >> this is a culture of escapism. let's not forget this. so i probably will go see some blockbuster hollywood movie

the white zone itself serves as a safe zone for safely disembarking from vehicles. those could be their personal vehicles, maybe with a friend or family that is dropping you off at your medical appointment, or it could be a taxi or a public transit vehicle. many people who have mobility disabilities may find it difficult to travel more than a short distance down a sidewalk, which is why it is so important to have direct access to these facilities like medical offices or senior housing, or places of worship and institutions. i have a personal story to my mother is 83 years old and she lives in an apartment building where there is a wide zone in front of the building. she cannot even walk half a block. when i take her out to dinner and such, i use that white zone to get her safely in and out of the vehicles so we can be on our way. if we did not have that, it would be my temptation to break the law and double parked in front of the street because this is my mother. i want to make sure she is safe. but luckily, we do have a wide zone, so it makes it easy for me to do t

it was an invisible world, and here we would sgee the white house sboe ingo into the white house and get nothing. the deputy assistants and whatnot, but if you talked to their secretaries and they felt comfortable, weren't represented by somebody from the white house staff that worked outside, including remarkably john's own secretary, who was a very forthright person and gave us enormous help. that's when we began to realize we could reconstruct things. so there was a day, i remember going to the monica restaurant right near capitol hill. they have paper -- cloth tops -- >> tablecloths. >> over the regular white tablecloth and we sat there and said, this is not the way to investigate. i was systems analyst among other things and made an organizational chart of the white house. the question was, here's nixon. here's dean. we knew from john's testimony john didn't have notes, material, little on the meetings with the president. there wasn't going to be paper documentation. we had to figure out who else would know so made a satellite chart of all the people in touch wi with nixon. all

white then face aid choice of where to practice law. many of his fellow clerks stayed in washington, but the pull of home and family was too strong, and he returned to colorado to practice in denver. besides, denver suggested but did not promise that he would be able as he told a fellow clerk to keep my name out of the god damn newspapers. his marriage to mary ann lloyd stearns, daughter of the president of the university of colorado, in 1946, meant that all his extended family were within a 50 mile radius of denver, as were a wealth of friends and the favorite pastimes of his youth, especially fly fishing and hiking in the foothills. for more than a decade white enjoyed a widely varied legal practice ranging from real estate to corporate work, anti-trust, labor law, and on to tax and litigation including complex anti-trust cases and simple one-day trials. his name rarely appeared in the public print, although he devoted an enormous amount of time to a wide variety of charitable activities. a registered democrat he denied constant invit

compare that to a net worth of a typical white household. our notiation's economy is comparing major challenges and they will serve to mal amagnify the growing disparity. growing income whites have far more wealth than high income after cafrican-americans. to change this reality we have to increase and must increase ac set to capitol. while white america has an 8.2 unemployment rate, the rate for african-americans is close to double that. this is something that you must understand f understand. throughout my entire life the african-american unemployment rate has always been double that of whites. we are today arguing over an 8.2 unemployment rate for the entire country. black america has had an employment rate double that for white americans. those are beginning to look at supporting those who they deem to be non productive. another group that we have to protect. that is the nature of our debate today and that is the nature that will be played out in the growing election. they happen to be the fastest growing demographic group in the country

we applied and were granted a white zone by the mta. that was in january of this year while it has been operating very well come upon -- very well, other objects of design made it very difficult for our clients to get in and out of their cars. we are here in support of the ordinance. it will create tremendous help for our clients, for their ability to be dropped off without obstruction. [tone] and also to be protecting against injury from obstructions in their path. i appreciate the supervisors for their leadership on this issue. we look forward to the upcoming results. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. zeno other member of the public coming forward, we will close public comment. supervisor mar: i want to thank community organizations and supervisor campos and supervisor avalos for bringing this forward. i would like to be added to this. supervisor avalos: very good. problems, can we accept the amendment from supervisor campos? ok, we will accept the amendment. we can move to move forward with recommendations. so done.

first the white house. what did the burning of the white house mean? the invasion and destruction of the capital city galvanized the american people. all opposition in america to the war vanished and i argue that it was dolley's work in making the capital city and in particular the white house a place in the american mind. that was both real to people who had never seen it and also a symbol. so when it was attacked the americans took it personally. second, the role of the unofficial sphere in the relocation debates. so when james and dolley come back to this crisis, they actually have a new crisis waiting for them. the capital city is in ruins and there's a movement to relocate the capital to new york or philadelphia or a number of places, which could have in hindsight been disastrous. i would need another speech to discuss the relocation debates, but in the end the congress vote to stay and it is my theory that dolley with her unofficial sphere made this town such a town for politics that even though everybody complained about the weather and the road

what about the white people? the real deciders in the presidential election. why isn't anybody talking about them? guess what? we are. >>> and not so real rierlt tv. >> i am so very sorry. >> he lied. so did the makers of this show. does hollywood really think we're that dumb? more importantly, are we that gullible. >>> so there's no cushioning this one. here you go. will anyone still believe in god in 50 years? an odd question. maybe it is. here's why we're asking it. today more people than ever are questioning god's existence. five areas ago 83% of people, 83%, under the age of 30, said they never doubted the existence of god. now that number is down to 68%. joining me is linda lascolla who help approachers who openly question their faith and david silverman who is the president american atheist incorporated. more people are having doubts. could we be looking at a gradual phasing out of god over the next several decades? i'll start with eye miss lascolla. the question again, please? >> why are we seeing a doubt

before burning the white house. it's probably for books, because wightman was a book seller and he was dragged in to represent the humiliation of the americans. he was the only american in the white house, the british bandit, and so i knew knowing more about the providence of this check that it was going to be very valuable. one day donated to the white house, but i'm fearfulful might end up in a drawer or something that the public can't see. but it really is a remarkable find, because of the fact that wightman was the only person in the white house who wa an american. he later became mayor of washington. he was a notable grand mason, and so that's why i brought it. >> how long had washington been the seat of government by 1814? how long had it been the -- >> 1800. john adams came down in 1800, because the capitol ual used to in philadelphia, and he was the first president to live in the white house. every president has lived there except george washington. >> what was the city like in 1814? >> it was a mere embryo

bush white house.hink this notion that republicans are going to have to suppress the vote for political purposes to win is completely -- it's cynical and also inaccurate. we just have to present two very different visions for growing the economy. i think everyone can agree that the economy is sick and it's going to be sick until election day. so what happened friday was so petty, it was the opposite of what obama promised when he promised an end to childish things. it was the most childish of the day. all these two men have to do is present totally different but probably legitimate, if you ask an economist, views for growing our way out of the economy. we don't have to mess around with voter rolls or mess around with suppressing the vote with nasty pacs. all we have to do is say here's my plan for growing the economy and here's mine. yes, i work for republicans who had a very different view on the economy than the current nominee. >> makes me wonder whether or not george w. bush could play a role in to

the white house. through the portrait of our presidents and first ladies, it is a wonderful tradition that here, in america's house, we honor those who have honored us. the tradition began with the acquisition of george washington's portrait in 1800. it was purchased by the united states government and viewed as such an important national trevor that it was the object of the white house historical association has commissioned a portrait of every president and first lady and acquired historical portraits of those previously missing from the white house collection. in our digital world, where so many images are mere flashes on a screen comedies enduring portraits of great american's by acclaimed artists are lasting tribute to our presidents and first ladies and will forever be part of the white house collection. today, the portraits of george w. bush, and first lady laura bush will be added to this unique collection of those who have occupied this house and served our nation with distinction. to those g

white house and hunt's number at the white house. so this is one of the reasons that alex very quickly got a call. alex, just follow me for a minute. when you heard about the break-in, what was your first reaction? >> we did it. no, really. i just felt i knew for sure that we did it, and that the president had to know about it. i'd been there three and a half years by that time, and that's the way things operated. i saw things -- everything that happened, nixon was the choreographer. he was the director of everything. and if he knew about it, haldeman knew about it. they were the two that had to know about anything that happened, and i still feel that white house aides don't go off and handle things willy nilly. they're as conscious as anyone or more so that anything they do reflects on the presidency. so i don't think there's a lot

it's just like if i told all of you right now don't think of a white elephant. first thing you do is think about the white elephant to try to avoid thinking about it. so simply thinking about the concept of crime trigger these non-conscious biases of blacks and the reason i only speak of blacks is because the social cog mission research upon which my research is based focuses primarily on the black-white relationship. i want to share just one quick study before i end which is particularly -- and relevant to police judgments of criminality and it's a sted study and it's a famous one where researchers wanted to test whether or not stereotypes would affect the interpretation of ambiguous behaviors and they had subject, watch two men who were on a video engaged in a discussion that grew increasingly heated and eventually one of the individuals -- excuse me, cammy, shoves the other and the subject his option of reading this context as horsing around, dramatic, aggressive or violent and the researchers manipulated the race of the pusher or the pushee to see if it woul

the white house has itself to blame for that.y exerting executive privilege they made a lot of the voters they are going to be trying to appeal to in november deeply suspicious of the white house and justice department. there is no one in obama's cab be net with a worst relatio relationship with congress and both sides than holder. so they really exacerbated those existing tensions. and third, when the white house was called to turn over documents in the u.s. attorney case there was not the life of an american federal agent lost. this is so much more serious and the stakes are so much more dire and grave in this situation. >> chris: jeff, how does the romney campaign feel about this confrontation? because there is talk that whether they are entitled legitimate hi tly to the docums or not it plays into the narrative that republicans are obstructionists and involved in washington gotcha games. i haven't heard much from the romney campaign or boston hea headquarters in the last week? >> this ising to that governor romney's campaign

much higher rates than whites? is george zimmerman a bigot, or is he a concerned citizen? is trayvon martin an innocent victim or a thug in training? these are the ways in which we typically discuss race, and what i want to suggest is that our focus on character and conscious racial bias may actually mask the ways in which we can still achieve racially disproportionate consequences, even in the absence of conscious bias. and so the reason for this, in my view, is based on something that i call suspicion cascades. and these are the systemic and predictable errors in decision-making that occur because of the way that we all think. so i just want to talk about that very briefly. the way that our minds work, we tend to make associations between concepts in order to process information quickly. so you can imagine if i had to figure out how to use this pen every time i came across a pen, i wouldn't be able to function. so our minds make these automatic associations, so if you see the word doctor, for example, your mind w

and the white house is getting fbi reports because a friend of the fbi is -- a friend of the white house is the acting director, but also the fbi assumes that, you know, that the white house ought to know about this. so you have, in a sense, the white house being tipped off as the fbi continues its investigation, the white house is trying to figure out a way to stop the fbi investigation. so here the president is talking to john ehrlichman, his domestic adviser, about what jeb macgruder, is going to have to do to stop the investigation. at this point in july of '72, it's assumed he's going to have to take the fall. the president then suggests what he should say to investigators. >> well, the story basically is that -- so that macgruder when you say take a slide, he can't. >> no, i don't think so. i don't think so. >> because they'll convict him. >> oh, they'll convict him by somebody else's testimony. he doesn't gain anything. >> so what the hell, what does he do? >> no, he has to go in and say well, i did this and it was a bad thing to do and i got carried away, and i feel terrible abou
