culturally at that time right over seven, johnny cash, elvis, what is going on in the psychology of white america hour they responding to this march? >> guest: for liberal whites the shooting of mayor distributers our rage in the jim crow south as another example of violent retribution. there are editorials in the newspapers that condemn the violence some of the documents people riding talking about their own ideas and feelings asking for advice. it is great liberal guilt but the civil-rights movement has been a major news story in american life the past five or six years in to some extent the march continues that liberal track by the same token because of the of what to write it or the controversy over the moynihan report we see the language of backlash the phrase starting to develop as a buzzword that some whites are alienated and blacks are moving too fast as has achieved what it has an neece to slow down which tuesday exact opposite of black activists. so there are plenty of white smirches people say we will join this people often affiliated with religious of catholic or jewish americans are

it's impossible the characterize white america could revert talking about a huge swath of people. you really do see everything across the political spectrum from those who embrace the notions and those who say their civil rights activist, we've been fighting for black power all along. other liberal whites to say we're starting to drift away from the ideals. they tend to find a movement in terms of particularly nonviolent action and bringing integration. when such integration is irrelevant. and then you've got a growing voice of the new right to read more and more conservative suzie the civil rights movement as moving too fast, tie it into a broader expansion of liberal programs. it is the political move that will help to elect richard nixon to the presidency. the political move that is elected ronald reagan to be governor of california right about the same time. >> and you present fascinating glimpses of this mind set on the conservative right that allows of backlash, and we are dealing with it to some extent, obamacare or illegal aliens, the racial and actions, at his nationally

what is going on in the psychology of white america had this time? how are they responding to the civil rights movement. >> so for liberal whites the shooting triggers another round of out rage against the jim crow south. they see it as another example of violent retribution. and people write to their congressman just as they had done with birmingham. the editorials in the newspapers , condemning the violence. some of the documents came across him people writing and talking about their own ideas. it sort of honor of this great liberal guilt. the civil rights movement has been at least since 1960 has been a major news story for the past 56 years. and to some extent the march continued that sort of liberal turned. by the same token because of this emerging -- because of something like the watts riot and the controversies over the morning and report we're starting to see the language of backlash, the phrase backlashes just aren't developed as a buzzword. some whites are sort of increasingly alienated. they think blacks are moving too fast. the civil righ

what i already knew that being a latina is being very much as much as may stream days mainstream america white and black america tries to put me in another category, latino americans, in my case dominican americans being the place where the site of the first european settlement, the first place there was indigenous slavery, the first place, transatlantic slavery, we are the face of america. it was a very self affirming trip. and i feel like one of the things i did was i had to unlearn all the b s i learned in school. academia sometimes especially by the time you get to college you have an identity crisis and what happens is you are taught to not like the parts of yourself that aren't european, that aren't typically european. for example i went to catholic school for grammar school and high school and always heard the european missionaries who came to the new world were god-fearing, got loving, they were not capitalists, just about peace and love and the indigenous for primitive savages, didn't have anything, were running around naked etc. and in order for them to become human they had to accep

this president told us that there would be no more black america and a white america red state americad be one united states of america. that president, that barack obama doesn't exist anymore. and bill, forgive. >> now, it's impossible to -- i will ask you the same question i asked hume and carson. when a guy like barack obama gets up there i think he believes what he says. >> so i do. >> you are implying that barack obama doesn't. that he used this whole thing and continues to use it to advance himself politically. but, holder, i think, if you were to read his mind, hey, look, they don't like me because i'm black. >> no, look. black people and white people have two different histories, okay? the twin devils of slavery and segregation does something to the psyche. we have two different perceptions of things because of our two different histories. but, let's not pretend that these guys aren't doing when they are doing for cheap political reasons. they have to rev up their base. they know that republicans don't need anybody to get them out to vote. republicans are going to be out there.

america's prosperity. it is the income gap between men and women. about an hour ago the white house staged a high profile announcement of a new executive order and memo focusing on this challenge and announced that today is equal pay day. >> equal pay day means a women has to work this far into 2014 to earn what a man earned in 2013. think about that. a woman has got to work about three more months in order to get what a man got because she's paid less. that's not fair. that's like adding an extra six miles on a marathon. first we'll turn to peter alexander. what do you think these executive orders will accomplish specifically? walk us through what's being done and what's not here. >> reporter: the white house focuses on the key word of transparency. one an executive order that the president signed today during the event. that first one will allow government and federal contractors to openly discuss their salaries without fear of retaliation. the white house makes it very clear that if women in the workplace don't know what other individuals are making, they don't know they ar

became proud of blackness i saw assen indication that black people were more optimistic about white america chait's new york cover story reminded me of that moment. chait attempted an earnest assessment of contemporary racial politics. he is a smart writer. but he suffers for the same narrow vantage point as the well meaning man from south carolina. chait describes what he believes is the real story of the obama presidency. quote, even when the red and blue tribes are not waging the endless war of mutual victimization, the subject of race courses through everything else. debt, health care, unemployment, whereas the great themes of the bush years resolved around cultural policy. the obama years have been defined by a bitter disagreement over the size of government, which quickly reduces to an argument on the recipients deserve it. there is no separating this discussion frl one's sympathies or prejudices towards an identification with black america. to suggest the bush years were free of racial discourse is to ignore communities of colors experienced foreign policy as race talk. interpreted t

the annual league of black america says blacks and latinos are falling further behind. it shows african-americans are twice as likely as whitesnemployed. joining me now is mark muriel who came out with a report this week. >> thank you, andrea. >> thanks for being here. let's talk about the state of black america and the underemployment of african-americans and other minorities compared to white america. >> you know, for all americans -- and let me say this, the number of people unemployed for six months or more is at a record high. it's higher than it's been since world war ii. and i think this picture in the state of black america of unemployment rates being stuck really high in the black and latino communities is something that our nation has got to confront. this report gives you those numbers. it talks about this crisis and it also gives you the numbers this year for the first time on 80 american cities. >> and the fact is as you point out, if you're unemployed for six months or longer, it is so much more difficult to eventually get rehired. as each month progresses you lose any kind of leverage. >> no question. your skil

america, as mainly one of continuity, rather than mainly one of progress. this is the kind of racial optimism we see here from chait and does often inflect the conversations between white liberals and african-american, not all african-americans, some african-americans, around the question of sort of where america is going and where we've been. >> right. i think, as a white person who tackles this subject a lot, it's very easy for someone like me or someone like jonathan chait. i can write about race all day long and at 8:00 turn it off and turn on "parks & rec" and there's no moral fatigue. it's engaging, but doesn't bring any sense of an emotional cost. whereas, you know, you see, and so the attitude of someone like chait is like, hey, guys, why are we slowing down? things are great. it's very easy to have that perspective. you saw that at the end of the civil rights movement, all these white liberals were like, hey, guys, why are we slowing down? what's going on? >> it's interesting, this language of moral and emotional fatigue. on the one hand, i was so irritated by those comments of mr. sullivan's readers that could read the kind of analysis of coates, and see it a

you know, white people feel as though america's only owned by them. host: why do you say that? do you believe all white people feel that way? caller: well, for the majority -- i have to say yes. i mean, if you want me to be honest, yes. most white people feel that way, ok? that we have no place in this country. we're not smart enough to do anything around here, you know. host: and what are some examples that make you feel that way that most people -- white people feel that way? caller: you rig your elections. you make it to be like only white people are going to win the election. you have a bill of rights. if you really wanted us to have rights, you make it an amendment. you will not make it where every 20 years, i've got to go back and sign something so these kind of people can act like they're part of this country. ok. we have to rights. host: what are you talking about there? go ahead. caller: i didn't hear you. host: every 20 years you have to go back and sign something? what are you talking about there, mark? caller: yeah, talking about the bill of rights. they're not right

given by senator obama pointed out, there shouldn't be a red america, blue america, black america, white america, there ought to be one america. but we have gotten into the politics of division. that's why the senate refused to take up our repeated efforts that compromise to avoid shutting down the government. the politics of division. that's why the world war ii memorial was barricaded and massive men and women hours were utilized to try and keep veterans out of the memorial, the marines, world war ii memorial. i couldn't believe they had the nerve to put up a barrier to the martin luther king junior memorial. and i opened up with my streets -- my friend from mississippi, opened up the barriers there at the world war ii memorial. i clipped the crime scene tape. i moved one barricade and he moved the other. the world war ii vets came in. steve king and i, few others went out to the marine memorial and we opened up that memorial. e checked out their other days -- to make sure that that was accessible. and one day, it turned out there was a bus of world war ii veterans that had come out there. the

. >> what about the question looking for a white america that is never coming back. >> you hear that on fox a lot. this is not the america i grew up in, for which that is a rhetorical statement. that is part of it. if we step back a minute from that, what we might understand is that conservatives pride themselves on thinking we treat everyone is is as a individual. it is the other party that treats them with race, ethnicity and other interests. i don't think that is the case anymore. it has become a little more about the interest groups that have assembled in the republican coalition, and i think we have it step outside of that and realize that some of these people who don't vote republican, they are individuals to, and we treat them as democratic voters and we don't need to reach out to them. >> the poverty problem, the mobility agenda and then the demographic problem. is one more important than the other? >> i think the core problem is the policy problem. i think the identity problem is a real thing, but if you have the right policies, those problem becomes easier to fix. dempsters

america and how it can save it....so to speak. in the book mr. brookhiser argues that wasps or white anglo-saxon protestants formed the american character and he says if we don't preserve wasp ideals america lose its way. c-span: richard brookhiser, author of "the way of the wasp: how it made america and how it can save it ... so to speak," why do we need this book? >> guest: well, i think countries need to understand where they've come from and if they know that, they can know where they might go. i don't think countries can pick virtues out of thin air or just off a tree. the character traits a country has are given to it by its history, and the character type a country has is, therefore, also given to it by its history ours, i think, america's, was put in place by wasps, by white anglo saxon protestants, 200 and 300 years ago, and that's the hand history has dealt us, and it behooves us to study it and understand it. c-span: you start out with a special note upfront and you say, "since in this book i will be making a number of un-waspily blunt identifications, in the interest of w

>>:jason whitely reports. virgin america landed one of its airbuses at dallas love field thursday evening. not dfw. just 12 hours before the airline says it will announce the future of its "dallas" operations. "they move to love field and southwest is not going to have 15-flights a day to l.a. so they'll have more of a competitive balance in love field." december 2010 - sir richard branson brought the airline to dfw airport, where it uses two gates to fly to l.a. and san francisco, competing against american. but virgin wants to give up those gates. and take over sa two of american's gates at love field -- which the department of justice made american give up - to merge with usairways. insiders tell us virgin beat out southwest for them. but the city of dallas which owns love field - says no decision has been made. still, experts say if virgin makes the move to dallas, fares there will likely drop. "because southwest airlines practically has a monopoly at love field. by injecting competition - which is what the doj is trying

the percentage of white students in senior classes across high school america is shrinking. obviously the percentage of minority graduates is growing. at the same time the number of high schoolers is going to shrink at least for a little while to come. will colleges be more clever about seeking out talented minority students trying to reengineer perhaps pass exclusion that created heavily lopsided student bodies? >> well, the jury is still out on that. although race-based decision making has been out for a number of years. many universities have been reluctant to embrace in my view the obvious, and that is socio-economic measures as a replacement. but i think, and i underscore that, i think that they will be forced to make that decision within the next five to ten years. >> in what way? where do you seed pendulum swinging now? >> take california where 2089 209 passed and minority students are not able to academically compete for uc berkeley and san diego. as a result you're getting more students of an asian background that are going to those systems than the university wanti

the average white person in metropolitan america lives in a neighborhood 75% white. groups have not gained access to neighborhoods. a typical african-american lives in a neighborhood only 35% white. not much different than 1940. as much as 45% black. it's clear although there has been some progress on housing desegregation, we're far cry from the deal that george romney envisioned. roy is kbektive director of oak park regional housing center in illinois. george perry, director of the greater new orleans fair action center and my husband. dorothy brown, professor at the school of law and tanner colby, author of "some of my best friends are black." james s the national fair housing act a success or failure? >> it's a very interesting question. america itself is an experiment. and this experiment is quite imperfect. and i think we constantly work to perfect it, but clearly we're not there yet. the same is true when it comes to the effort to integrate the communities. dplon strait ee -- we still see there are clear problems. have we succeeded? no. have we made progress?
