why do i have to keep inviting violence against me to get white america to do what it should've done in the first place. dr. king said stokely you are right, it isn't fair. nobody has a right to impose nonviolence on anybody else. all in trying to get you to see is that nonviolence is a leadership back -- doctrine we are ahead of where white america is. if we step up the violence we are going back the way they are. and quite apart from the political, practical issues whether or not you can end nonviolence is a minority, largely unarmed minority in the morality of it non-violence doctrine stigmatizing of nonviolence. i'm telling you we didn't stokely was too sexy. among other things. black power, became the rage and i can tell you to this day i know a lot of veterans of the nonviolent civil rights movement who were not -- nonviolent who deny they were nonviolent today. as being embarrassed by it. not a lot. i know some. i just mention that. because it's so shocking people equate nonviolence with strength. that is a question that deserves profound thought, not just your knee jerk answe

appealing to the best self of white america. right? all civilization, all rhetoric is, is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves. the best version ourselves. the best version ourselves that was incredibly impelling. today, the whole vision is in tatters because the identity politics part of it is people are basically saying, you can never get past the whiteness paid all whites are racist, they are demonizing my people. while there celebrating all of these other differences and saying assimilation is evil, the melting pot is evil, they are saying that the essence of identity politics is that i can reduce a vastness, diverse population of people for a single historical grievance based on their skin color. ... the they almost instantly like people of the race of their own mother for their own parent. paul bloomingdale has done amazing work about how much of this stuff comes than just babies, the basic moral sense of them, but this friend versus bo, stranger versus ken being. and so identity politics really is just another variant of

god bless white america. acter in blackkklansman is a real—life figure, ron stallworth, a black police detective who infiltrated the white supremacist group the ku klux klan in colorado springs in the 19705. he did it by striking up a relationship with klan members by phone, then a white surrogate police officer, a colleague, stood in for him in face—to—face meetings. ron stallworth was modest about his accomplishments at the film's new york premiere. infiltrating the group, penetrating them was very easy because they didn't take time to recognise the signs that something was not right. you had two different voices talking to you, one in person, one on the phone, and they didn't recognise that they were being had. it wasn't difficult at all. you for the white race, ron? oh, hell, yeah. so it becomes a combined... both: ron stallworth. can you do that? with the right white man, you can do anything. spike lee was drawn to ron stallworth's story for many reasons, he was certainly impressed by him as a man. courag

. >> i think it was shock because slowly it has come to the realization of many people in white america that there is still a virulent, violent strain of white nationalism and racism and i think they are wrestling with that still and what has been, i think, a horror for all of us, for all americans is that the president has not stopped. he didn't re-evaluate himself. he began with that terrible statement that you recall and then it's been downhill ever since. he's been race baiting, he's been misogynistic, he now refers to certain countries as s-hole countries, he talks about infestation of mexican immigrant s. it's gone from bad to worse and it's a reminder that elections have consequences and character matters. the worst decision many republicans made was saying, well, he's a rotten character but he's going give us tax cuts, or but gorsuch or he's going to give us the supreme court. in fact, character is everything for a president. it sets the tone for the country. it gives people permission, empowers people to do bad things or good things and it has been a corrosive effect on our soc

[laughter] >> is this a a form of fear that results in rule white america electing donald trump? >> of course it was open to popular vote there is probably 100 things 100 things that produced the results i think one of them is misogyny and i have a whole chapter on that because i do think that a lot of those bad emotions of anger and envy and discuss crystallized and are knotted up together and a lot of america's attitude females so there are a lot of things but the problems of rural white americans are real. they come from automation and outsourcing and increased cost of higher education because now to keep up your living standards you need more education. we have to solve those problems for both hillary clinton and bernie sanders to attract that to cost the questions of automation and outsourcing were much more delicate and difficult and right now nobody knows what to do but with these are the problems they are not immigrants they are not women will certainly not african-american. it's so easy to teach people you can demonize a powerful group a powerful group to inflict play --

he wrote in his column, i quote, "while many people do support whites maintaining a society in america, no one supports neo nazi street fighting." he continued "neonaziism isn't going to be popular in america." he talked about how they have to change their focus. my concern is infiltrating our law enforcement, putting those individuals in our school systems. those individuals running for public office that we don't even know what their actual beliefs are. i think being diligent has to go beyond protesting. we have to also make sure that the right people are running for public office, are becoming law enforcement, are educating our kids, so that we can combat this in more than one measure. >> on that note, where is normalizing of this, this i ideolo ideology, this twisted ideology, i think what you were talking about there is this group to here i cohering. david duke was expected to be there. i don't know if he was. he was on the application by the group to the national park service. what's your sense of the cohesiveness of this right wing, this hate movement? >> i don't know how cohesi
