enough to remember the accusations of him being a communist and the reality was, it wasn't just white america who turned against him you write about how 75% of whites thought he was irrelevant at that point. a good majority of blaningz believed the same thing. young people being attracted to more militant. >> we have so diefied him in death. it's hard to jux tap on this it. >> i had forgotten that. >> absolutely the white house turns on him this voted on the two most important pieces of legislation in the 20th century now against johnson. the white house turns on him. the media turns on him. white america turns on him and then black america. >> number was almost 60% in black thought he was persona non-grata so that the naacp and roy wilkins, the young and the urban ling comes out against king. leak the kosmos had turned on him. >> history would be incomplete if we different know. i think we have come to know who we are in the darkest most difficult days of our lives if you think you know dr. king but you don't know the difficult moment, you don't know him yet. you can't appreciate him as i do

. >> white america turns on him and then black american. >> he has had a long relationship with the iconic leader. king's speeches changed the courts of his life at extremely vulnerable time. >> my father lost his temper that night. he beat us so severely we were in the hospital. i was able, thanks to martin, to get through that and go on and do what i have been blessed to do with my life. >> smiley, a political commentator weighs in on american leadership. >> god respected president obama. he is in office six years before he gave a major speech on poverty and income inequality. he said america's president disappointed the country following the shooting death of michael brown. >> you have that kind of militarization taking place, the president ought to be intimately involved. so, i thought it was an epic fail but he didn't step statesman. >> he is putting a new spin on his resume, a contestant on "dancing with the stars"? >> i figured i would do one last stupid foolish ridiculous thing before i turned 50. this is it. >> i spoke with tavis at our studios in new york as he was about to celeb

white america turned on him. 75% of the american people, 75%, mike, thought he was irrelevant the last year of his life. almost 60% of black people thought he was irrelevant. the naacp turns on him. the urban league turns on him. i can't say on television what thurgood marshall said about him. it was a living hell because he tried to speak out against a war and nobody would hear about it. >> he must have had incontinues depression-- >> intense depression. >> he's depressed, despondent. his own organization, his board voted to condemn him on his vietnam position. he can't get support for his poor people campaign. so everything, everybody, the media, the white house, black folk, white folk, his own organize gaition, everybody is against -- organization, everybody is against him. but he gets all all these years later -- he has -- this is going to be hard to say. in many ways we helped to kill king because we abandoned him in the last year of his life. now we all love him. but the last year of his life, the darkest and most difficult part of his journey nobody knows. >> will this speak to

it wasn't just white america who turned against him, although you're right about how 75% of whites thought he was irrelevant at that point, a good majority of blacks thought the same thing. part was the rise of the black panther party and young people being attracted to those more militant. >> we so deified him in death. he and johnson worked and voting rights and civil rights, the two most important pieces of legislation in the 20t 20th century, now hes against johnson on vietnam, so the white house turned on him. the number was almost 60% in black america thought he was persona non-grata. whitney young and urban league comes out publicly against dr. king. martin must have felt like the cosmos had turned on him. >> what would he say if now, 46 years later, if he saw a black president, if he saw that there has been great progress on race issues but there continues to be race issues and discrimination in this country. >> the closest thing to him seeing a black president in his lifetime was him seeing the first plaque mayor of a major american city, carl stokes in cleveland. he spent a lot o

to, you know, kind of distinguish between, you know, the broad support that it was out there in white america the bill and in the very focused support that came out of specific places. so the bill in some ways couldn't have happened in another time because you had this confluence of other groups that were -- you know, for example, up through the late '50s the protestant church, and to some extent the catholic church was a little more socially active on civil rights issues. and jewish synagogues were or organizations. but the large -- but by and large, the protestant church was not active. very apolitical and really uncomfortable with getting involved. so when emmitt till was killed, was lynched, it was a national story, and clearly a crime. and yet the ncc released a statement that said, you know, we don't, we don't really want to pass judgment on this. this is a matter for the local mississippi authorities to deal with. >> [inaudible] >> yeah. we'll see what they say. >> oh, dear. >> so, but that changed both because the leadership changed, and you had a number of people sort of come to the

the positive spin on that, i think, for white america is it might mean a little less anxiety. ural racism and other questions but it could provide an opportunity for whites to be white in a way that isn't about racism necessarily or being part of a larger multiracial community. that's the positive spin. the negative spin, which is what we hear more of in the media is the backlash about how obama represents a problem. the question is what kind of whiteness do we want in america? do we want a larger multicolored parity, or one that is able to understand it's inclusion into a varying nation. >> that cultural conversation seems to dove tail with what the political markets are doing, where are the competitions. we were talking about rand paul's appeals to voters. you have an essay talking about why you could, in theory, be a black republican. what do you mean by that? >> part of what we need is we need to have options. it should be clear to us that there isn't a party that seems intrinsically for or against the same kinds of members of the body politic all of the time. part of what

white communities. that is fantastic news for america. you're seeing the developing world adopt such technologies very rapidly. that's fantastic news for improving the human condition, for allowing people to have the benefit of new information. it's going to change their political at expectations and are economic expectations in a positive and constructive way. >> this is right in the midst and people were totally upset. i went up to the stage of one of my coalition members who also -- he did join our coalition. the lobby was full and i go up but i say can i see so-and-so and they said we couldn't get him. all at once the lobby became totally mine. did we have 40 or 50 people there. i am looking around and i look over and here are four of the largest chinese importers or exporters to this country. they were going that's him right over there. everybody lobby stopped talking and it got deathly quiet. it's my sense of humor. this is my humor. i look and i walk right over to him and stood right next to him and of course i am 6 feet 8 inches a

he was a person brought up in ta culture, in white america.ink when he was coming to kenya, that balmy summer 20-odd years ago, he was trying to find out more about his african roots. the book talks about that. >> what are we to make of the fact that here you're his brother and you've met, but you haven't had a lot of contact. how many times have you been with him now? you talk about it in the book, first met in '88 and met before the inauguration. how many times? >> we've met a number of times. >> what was the number? >> the most significant times have actually been about three of them. and those were the first ones in beiji beijing, then also in austin, texas. we've been in contact since this presidential election and so forth. the most recent was actually at the last inauguration. >> but i played all this about spread the wealth and everybody is paying their fair share and americans can afford to pay more and be our brother's keeper. there are five siblings from your father. >> yes. >> so in all honesty it's less than a dozen the times you'

and white america.t hole in his life found nearly 3/4 of the american people, 75% thought martin was irrelevant. with approvales ratings or disapproval ratings about the same as george bush when he left the white house. that is how bad his numbers were. hold on your hand, almost 60% of black folk in the country thought he was persona non grata. in his own lifetime, that last year, he would of -- he could not get his own organization to support him the way he wanted. everybody turns on him and yes to navigate that. >> and yet he stuck to his guns. i don't want to use that analogy, but he -- >> he stood his truth. >> i want to go back to clip. >> as i have walked among the desperate, rejected and angry young man, i have told them that molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve the problem -- there problems. i've tried offer them my deepest compassion on maintaining my convictions that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. but they ask, and riley so, what about vietnam? they as
