from true—life drama to documentary, rubika shah's white riot was an award winner at last year's london provides a timely look back to the birth of rock against racism. it was a scary moment because punk could've gone either way. some of the bands did have nf followings. formed in response to an infamous "enoch was right" tirade made by eric clapton in birmingham in 1976, rar set out to challenge a tide of bigotry epitomised by the rise of the national front using music that could unite black and white youth in the fight for equality. music that knows who the real enemy is. building from fanzine roots to a network of local gigs that climaxed in a legendary victoria park anti—nazi carnival in 1978 featuring steel pulse, x—ray spex, the clash, and tom robinson band, this was a grassroots movement that earned its place in history books, a place that seems particularly relevant in the current climate. we weren't superheroes. we were just ordinary people. mixing contemporary interviews with a wealth of archived footage, shah's film captures the energy and passion with which rock against raci

we have seen the president, white house officials repeatedly use the word riots as opposed to protests. how significant is that in the bigger picture? >> what we saw in the 1960s was a kind of racial divide in how people defined these. so in simple terms, whites overwhelmingly preferred the term riot. for african-americans, terms like uprising or rebellion were the preferred terms. in the same way there are contests over things like prolife or pro choice, the language we use is in some ways highly political. but i think the thing that's important that's missed in the word riot is the degree to which these are deeply political events. people are not just out there engaging in vandalism for vandalism's sake. this is, you know,reconcile, bu attacking a police car or attacking a police station is a kind of act of violence against the group that you feel like has enacted violence towards your community. so again, that's kind of an eye for an eye model of justice, and that may not -- my research finds that over the long haul, you get a kind of violence begets violence, and it maybe muddies t

, white race riot against african-americans. it was a massacre of african-americans who are still buried in a mass grave in a very important local church. how could they not be thinking about it? i just want to show, tim scott, the african-american republican member of the senate, was asked by al roker today about this juneteenth rally in tulsa. let's watch. >> what about the president's juneteenth rally and his choice of these things? >> well, al, that's a good question. i would certainly say that the more diverse our staffs, the more we avoid these public issues that come about. so i don't have a good answer for that because i'm not on his staff, i don't know what his plan is. >> yamiche, have you heard anything from the white house to explain why they would choose tulsa and choose to do that first rally on juneteenth? >> i have not yet, much like kristen, i've been asking the white house for all sort of things, including why is this rally going to be held in oklahoma on this seminal day in the african-american community, but

rioting about was ridiculous. we want to have context for what white folks riot about and people are not upset but black folks riots about their very lives is people getting upset about it. people understand that black reporters on stories like this is essential. we needrooms, covering the stories. >> this year the annual convention of the national association of black journalists was supposed to be in d.c. i am more bothered than ever that we can't have the convention this year because this would be, at least, a four hour panel. we would have to have this conversation. we'll continue it another day. gentlemen, thanks very much. >>> plenty more for us to talk about. here is the scene in london. this leads foreign office and back entrance to number 10 downing street. the protesters have been pushing and shoving a bit with the police. they swapped out the front line from standard police to what we would consider riot police but it hasn't gone part farther than pushing and shovering. we'll keep an eye on that as the hour goepz on. >>> we're keeping an eye on the protests in new york. the mayor is ending the city's cur

some $164.00 new yorkers in the grip of rioting clashes between white police and inhabitants of black neighborhoods have turned violent 10 years of struggle for civil rights have not brought an end to the injustices and racism suffered by black americans. anger boiled over after a police officer shot dead a black teenager. in harlem the indian nation and revolt was embodied by one man. malcolm x. in photographs he projects a role intensity to match his stated indignation at the abuse that american blacks have suffered. malcolm x. was the spokesman for the nation of islam the black muslim movement that preached supremacy of blacks over whites. at the start of the 1960 s. the media were constructing a combat that stirred the civil rights debate malcolm x. versus martin luther king leader of the civil rights movement who was fighting against segregation in the southern states. martin luther king the hero of nonviolent resistance was a favorite target of markham acts white men haven't much subsidize robin martin luther king so that revenue looking can continue to think the negroes to be d
