Transcripts For MSNBCW Melissa Harris-Perry 20150620

Good morning, im melissa harrisperry. I want to begin this morning with the words of dr. Martin luther king jr. They have something to say to us in their death. They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained glass windows, they have something to say to every politician has fed his constituents the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. That we must substitute courage for caution. These are the words of dr. King offered to the grieving congregation gathered together amid the blistering pain and the incomprehensible loss of four little girls. Slaughtered in their Birmingham Sunday School by the bomb of southern white supremicists. Today, the words are not for four but for nine. Murdered as they gathered together in the familiar ritual of wednesday night bible study. Rechbd Clementa Pinckney 41. Reverend sharonda singleton, 45. Sanders, 26. Ethel lance, 70. Susie jackson, 87. Reverend depayne middletondoctor, 49. Myra thompson 59. Reverend daniel silva senior, 74. Like the four little girls martyred in their sunday best 52 years ago these nine men and women were murdered because they were black. And if you have ever wonder wlad the activists organizing cry black lives matter means, the answer was clear at fridays bond hearing in charleston. We welcomed you, wednesday night, in our bible study with open arms. You have killed some of the most Beautiful People that i know every fiber in my body hurts, and ill never be the same. As we said in the bible study, we enjoyed you, but may god have mercy on you. I will never talk to her ever again. I will never be able to hold her again. But i forgive you and have mercy on your soul. You hurt me hurt a lot of people. But god forgive you. And i forgive you. Although my grandfather and the other victims died at the hands of hate this is proof everyones plea for your soul is proof that they lived in live and their legacies will live in love. So hate wont win. Like those four little girls, these nine men and women were killed in a place that supposed to offer literal and figurative sanctuary. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is rooted in a specific history of resistance to american racism. In 1787 Church Officials of the st. George Methodist Episcopal Church in philadelphia pulled black worshippers off their knees and dragged them from the church to enforce racial segregation of worship. In response black men and women led by Richard Allen and epsilon jones founded their own home in the a. M. E. Church, which considers itself the oldest christian Denomination Church founded by black people in the world. It is the liflg, breathing embodiment of the black church. Not as i was reminded i by one of my campus chaplains this week, the church of the black people but the black church the institutional structure committed to a god of liberation, a definitive space for the worship of human freedom and equality and welcome to all children of creation. And charlestons emanuel a. M. E. Is the oldest in the south. To walk into the womb of mother emmanuel, to worship for an hour with her people to take their lives in calculating cold blood is to strike at the very heart of the black american struggle for freedom. To strike mother emanuel is to strike the tap root of resistance and the birthplace of the sacred atonmy. It is an attack against the place where enslaved black people rejected the biblical mandate to obey your masters and instead embraced a savior who suffered as they did at the hands of the powerful this is the place where black people sought to manifest a freedom they saw as promise embedded in the story of moses demand to let my people go. It is not inconsequential that the blow of freedom of black people is struck in South Carolina. South carolina, the first state to secede from the union by a unanimous vote in 1860. Dissolving its tie to the United States of america with a preference to vigorousry and violently defend its right to maintain slavery. South carolina, which still flies the battle flag of those traitorous troops on the state house grounds, still at full mast. In the hours and days after nine innocent South Carolinaens were slaughtered. South carolina, site of the first in the south primaries, for both republican and democrat candidates, who will seek to follow president barack obama in the white house. That is what happened on wednesday night in charleston. Yes, a mass killing. But not just that. Yes, a rampage, but not just that. Yes, a tragedy, but not just that. Yes, a gun crime, but not just that. What happened wednesday was an act of racial terror. As dr. Martin luther king jr. Spoke over the bodies of four martyred girls, he insisted they say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them but about the system the way of life the philosophy which produced the murderers. They say to us that we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them but about the system, the way of life and the philosophy which produced the murderer. Joining me here in new york is jonathan medzel. Director of the medicine for society. Yolanda pierce associate professor of africanamerican religion. A new york city licensed clinical psychologist and founder of eyeopening enterprises and joe watkins, a republican strategist and former white house aide to president george h. W. Bush. But first back to South Carolina to talk to dot scott, president of the Charleston Branch of the naacp. Dot, you have talked with survivors of this horror. What have they said to you . I have actually talked with family members of the survivors. What are they saying . The family members are to be honest with you, melissa, first, thank you for having me its theyre speechless, as to what has happened. The family members of those, their concern at this time is whether or not the lives of loss is going to make a difference in a state that we live in. You enter the conversation were you having prior to my coming on speaks to the truth of what were dealing with here. Because it goes beyond this particular carnage. This happened because we needed to have the nation and the world look at exactly what are some of the things that africanamericans continue to deal with. And in states such as South Carolina, where were still fighting issues of integration for schools, and were still fighting the issues of policing in our neighborhood. This would be the thing that i would hope that the lives are not, they were not taken in vain and we will have some changes thats going to be monumental enough that the people of South Carolina, all people of goodwill will begin to see that we have reason to be proud of the state that we live in. Thank you stay with us i dont want you to go. I do want to turn to you for a moment yolanda. Because i think for me the most stunning thing of this whole week was listening to the families offer forgiveness so swiftly. Honestly im not there yet. I mean maybe someday, but right now i feel just mad and im wondering about the role of this kind of forgiveness and this insistence on a love coming out of it. Were hearing from dot something good to come from this. I affirm the right of these families to grieve and process this in any way that they need to. Including if they need to offer statements of forgiveness. Including if one of the things they most want to talk about is an ethic of love. But i also affirm the right to be angry. I am angry, melissa. I am in a state of rage. A sanctuary has been violated. A sense of peace, a sense of comfort has been completely and utterly violated. We can talk about forgiveness, but for there to be genuine forgiveness, there has to be repentance, there has to be real genuine repentance and that has not happened yet. So we can simultaneously affirm that families need to do whatever they need to do to heal but we can be angry. We can call this a hate crime. Call it an act of racial terror and we dont have to mute it i want to be allowed to grieve and this nation needs to allow people space to grieve this horrible tragedy. Dot, i want to come back to you on this idea of forgiveness and repentance. I was trying to push us past simply this individual shooter, mr. Roof to the idea of a collective repentance here im going to borrow yolandas language. When you Say Something to change. Is there, what is the thing that would feel like a repentance from the collective that might give us space to forgive the society, the racism of the nation in which we live that help to produce this moment . I want to go back to the forgiveness thing. I happen to agree with this. Because the speaker prior to me now. First you know even christ expects us to ask for forgiveness. And i am here and im thinking in order to for me to be there, i would want to hear the perpetrator say, can you forgive me . We havent heard that yet, so its, its good to have the feelgood feeling going on. But i think in order for changes, there needs to be something concrete thats going to change us having to breathe young people at age 21 that not feels the kind of hatred and the kind of need to do the disastrous act as this that were still dealing with this in 2015. So i think that the first thing we can do as a state, to send a message that black lives realdy do matter and it just not the young people black lives, all black lives matter as with all people lives matter. So we need to deal with removing the flag off the top of our state house. That to me is a message that resonate about people who are hateful and its a message that resonate with us people of color, who think that you can continue to remind us what you think of us by flying that flag. Thank you to dot scott in charleston, South Carolina. Up next we go back to South Carolina for the latest on the ground and still to come the legacy of mother emanuel. 200 years later, the struggle continues.

Last night inside a charleston arena, thousands gather ford prayer song and solidarity with the family of the victims filling the front rows. Joining me now from charleston South Carolina is msnbc correspondent adam reece. Adam, who spoke last night and what was the central message . There were Church Leaders there were politicians, thousands gathered, they joined the family members of the victims in song and prayer as you mentioned, each one of them holding up a rose remembering all of the people that were lost in this senseless tragedy. Adam im struck as we look at the images at how inter interracial i can tell you the group here, black, white, they just set up an impromptu service here. Priests, people speaking. Lots of emotion. Lots of tears, lots of flowers. A lot of crying. Very raw emotion, melissa. But and maybe well take a listen a bit to some of what we heard, some of what you heard last night. If that young man thought he was going to divide this community or divide this country with his racial hatred we are here today and all across america, resoundingly saying he immeasurably failed. And i want to just point out again how interracial the services were that mayor joe was there and affirming that this will not create a emphasis towards segregation, but instead one towards racial healing. Is that what youre hearing on the ground there . Absolutely. This is all about unity, about coming together. Groups just hugging each other, black, white, all races here coming together and as the longtime mayor of Charleston Joe Riley said all of our hearts, not just here in charleston, but across the country, all of our hearts are broken. Melissa . Thank you to msnbcs adam reece in charleston South Carolina. We know from witness accounts that dylann roof sat with the Bible Study Group for an hour before opening fire. Now, newly released Police Affidavits release new details about what happened that night and the man who remains behind bars this morning charged with nine counts of murder. Were joining by msnbc National Reporter tremaine lee. What woo we learned . From the affidavits around 8 06 p. M. Dylann roof walked into Mother Emanuel Church with a fanny pack and a gun. He sat for an hour, as you mentioned at some point he opened fire on the group. Killing nine people. One addition we didnt know until yesterday when we read the affidavit. At some point he stood over a witness and uttered some sort of racially inflammatory statement. They didnt say exactly what it was. But there was something of a racially charged nature. He exited looked both ways hopped in his car. Police say that dylann roofs father confirmed that dylan did own a. 45caliber handgun. On the scene they found found. 45caliber shell casings, theyve matched the gun or at least the shell casings to the type of gun used in the crime. So again, here he is in the Detention Center behind us apparently he has a neighboring cell to the michael sclaglager, the officer who killed eded michael scott. We will be checking back in with you later. Up next, a father and a son with deep roots in South Carolinas civil rights past and present. When you do business everywhere, the challenges of keeping everyone working together can quickly become the only thing you think about. Thats where at t can help.

All day strong. Boy once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. One day, it started to rain and rain. Water got inside and ruined everybodys everythings. The house thought she let the family down. But the family just didnt think a flood could ever happen. The reality is floods do happen. Protect what matters. Get flood insurance. Visit floodsmart.

Vo when selling your car, start with a written offer no strings attached. Carmax. Start here. The nature of this attack in a place of worship where congress gants invite in a stranger to worship with them only to be gunned down adds to the pain. The apparent motivations of the shooter remind us that racism remains a blight that we have to combat together. That was president obama on friday talking about the massacre in charleston. Joining me now for more on whats next in the city and its role in the fight against racism is bacari sellers, former South Carolina state representative and his father Cleveland Sellers, president of vorheis college. On friday schultz indicated that president obama says that the flag belongs in a museum. Im wondering how much the flag issue has become part of the kind of trauma of this experience. Well dr. Harrisperry people are hurting right now. The community has suffered unfathomable harm wednesday. We stand here still crying we stand here still screaming, we stand here still in so much pain. When you go to our State Capitol and you see a banner that may not have pulled the trigger and killed Clementa Pinckney and eight other, it definitely did provide mr. Roof with some reason to do so. It provided him with some justification. And that is whats troublesome. I want to for me yes . Let me see if i can respond to that. Because when bacarri called and told me what had happened on wednesday night, i, it brought back memories of another secret that South Carolina keeps. And thats the orangeburg massacre. In which three students were actually shot by state highway patrolmen. And you yourself on the campus at South Carolina state university. And you yourself were injured. Yes i was injured. But i want to make that point. That we are still crying and screaming and carrying our idea to the cemetery. Dead to the cemetery and we have to have something very specific done in South Carolina. That begins with some kind of discussion and dialogue on race. We also must find a way in which we can have some kind of blue ribbon committee. There was never an investigation of what happened in orangeburg. And that we have to go back and start at that point. And find ways in which we can provide restitution in terms of healing, you have to heal from where you can actually target what has gone on. A lot of times people talk about it in terms of the flag. But since that time weve had the orangeburg massacre. 40 students were actually shot. Three were killed one was a 16yearold High School Student and it has gone pretty much unnoticed and so when were talking about honest dialogue in South Carolina, we have to talk about how we find ways in which we can address that issue and have the state provide some white paper or some kind of restitution to those who were injured. And we cant just keep putting it up under the rug. And i hope and pray that we dont do this on this particular occasion. Mr. Sellers, i so appreciate you taking us back to that moment. I know that you actually fairly rarely make public appearances and talk about that orangeburg massacre. And bacarri, i want to ask you specifically about it. We were talking about mother emanuel as an institutional space of black freedom. In addition to the black church often historically black colleges and universities are seen in this way. And of course South Carolina state university, the site of that orangeburg massacre in the late 1960s has been under attack in the sense of likely closing, we know that there have been Voting Rights questions there in the state. So im wondering how these things that dont seem to have anything to do with it are nonetheless part of this big institutional structure around how race is understood in the state of South Carolina. Im glad you asked the question, dr. Harrisperry. Because in South Carolina we still have a corridor of shame where kids go to school where their heating and air dont work, where their infrastructure is falling apart on their heads, we have counties and communities where they dont have a hospital within 45 miles. So if you have a heart attack, thats a death sentence. We have some serious issues to deal with here. And yes, its amazing that the two massacres that orangeburg that South Carolina is now known for happened in places of such reference refer rens, one was on a college campus, the other at a church. What aches my heart so much is that our states soil is stained red with so much blood. Im only 30 and my father is 70 but we shouldnt be sharing the same experiences when it comes to burying our loved ones, thats traumatic, that has to change we have to redirect history. It starts now. If not now, then when . And if not me and my father, then who . Bacarri, thank you so much. That point, that 40 years apart. You should not be sharing the same experience of burying your beloved. Thank you to bacarri and Cleveland Sellers in charleston South Carolina. Finally i get an opportunity to talk to my Brilliant Panel at the table.

Com become a member of experian credit tracker and take charge of your score. I spoke with one of the survivors and she said that he had loaded reloaded five different times. He just said i have to do it. He said you rape our women, and you taking over our country. And you have to go. That was sylvia johnson, a cousin of Church Shooting victim pastor Clementa Pinckney. And among the three survivors, is felicia sanders. Who told a niece of one of the victims that she played dead during the shooting massacre. Lying on top of her granddaughter to protect her. Another survivor says that the shooter told her she was going to live so she could tell the story of what happened. And so isaiah i guess for me the constant question this week is how is it that a 21yearold ended up with a 150yearold analysis of race in america. Like that narrative of you rape our women, like that is thats almost ancient and this is a young person. And it makes me feel that ive missed something about what we are teaching very carefully. I think really first of all the pain that the families have experienced is tremendous we couldnt even imagine it. But in talking about how a young person came to that perspective, theres been research that again has looked at implicit bias and how messages in our country can infiltrate and build on some of the dilutions that extreme racism may have. So theres been a number of times that psychiatrists have fought to have racism considered a Mental Health disorder within the dsm and looking at this idea of how do these beliefs become built through the messages that are implicitly put in our society . Whether its a flag whether its just what we do not stand up for. And even when we talk about this concept of color blindness, building on these concepts i think thats something to be aware of in that process. Im of two minds, jonathan on this idea of racism as a Mental Illness. Theres a part of me that appreciates defining it. Not as an ideology but as a sickness, an illness, a cancer this White Supremacy and racism. On the other hand from a kind of judicial legal standpoint it concerns me that defining this world view as a Mental Illness allows for a lack of culpability for those who act on it. Absolutely. I think we have to be very adamant at this point about refusing narratives that blame individual shooters for this kind of violence. Even, i think we all agree that you have to be crazy and screwed up to go shoot strangers, but i think the narrative with white shooters is that we limit it to their individual white brains and i think what were seeing here in this call for terrorism. Its not just a random call. Terrorism implies that whats happening here is a part of a larger ideology. Its got a politics its got a history. Its got all of these charges, i think in a way if were going to talk about racism as a Mental Illness, weve got to talk about the racism of a society that produces shooters like this. We heard in the last segment about the trauma thats passed down. We need to talk about the symbols of racism that are per pit waiting not just shooters, but ongoing wounds for people who live in communities, communities of color who feel that they themselves are traumatized. I think this is a wake upcall for white america, not to locate the individual shooters particular Mental Illness. That feels to me like one of the distinctions between this moment and 1963 when those four little girls are killed in the church. Yes, there is a bomber. But we are very clear that it is the collective evil of jim crow that gives birth to it. But somehow its as though it is about this one person. I want to play for you, yolanda, the sound of the judge talking initially about the victims being not just the nine but the family of the shooter as well. We have victims, nine of them. But we also have victims on the other side. There are victims on this young mans side of the family. Nobody would have ever thrown them into the whirlwind of events that they have been thrown into. That is so difficult for me to hear right now and maybe there will be a time in about 100 years where i would be able to process that. The family of this shooter, they are alive. There are nine people who are dead. Whose bodies have not even been buried. This is what i mean about this being a country where africanamericans are not even allowed to grieve. Even before these people have been able to claim the bodies of their mothers, their grandmothers, their fathers, their relatives, theyre being told, oh by the way, the shooter has a family and those family members are victims and he has a story. These nine men and women have a story and we need to tell it. What kind of kid did their parents raise, that kid walked into a church sat in a bible study for an hour and calmly killed nine people he would have killed more if he didnt know some were playing dead. The question becomes who did his parents raise and the other relatives . Who was that . Did he learn it from them . Did he learn the hatred of people because of the color of their skin from his family . I was asking my psychiatrist and psychologist if racism is a Mental Illness. One of the questions i think i want to ask you is as a man of god is is racism a sin . Well we all sin. We all sin. And the amazing thing about belief in christ and following christ as we saw by what the families of the people who were killed said is that that you forgive. Jesus was crucified on the cross, and as he was dying he forgave the people who were killing him. Its hard to comprehend. And to hear the family members, the brothers and sisters and other family members of the People Killed say im hurting, im akngry, but i forgive you, is exactly what theyre supposed to do as christian people. But racism is a sin and its evil and its a shame and we have to call it by its name. We will never, ever get to a point of any kind of Healing Unless we call the evil by its name. Its a sin. I would argue that the forgiveness is less for the shooter, but its for them. When we talk about the idea of trauma, were talking about undermining Psychological Safety and the idea of can i take care of myself or have resources to take care of me and a trauma like this that goes into the most sacred place thaw feel safe it undermines that sense of feeling safe wherever. So the forgiveness is letting it go to connect with the higher power that restores that sense of Psychological Safety. The trauma is not just in this moment. Its about a whole series of events that all of us have been watching and experiencing for weeks and weeks and months and years. It took Tim Morehouse years to master the perfect lunge.

The daisy chain of racial outrages that have been a constant feature of a American Life since Trayvon Martins death three years ago are not a copycat phenomenon soon to fade from our attention. Joining me now from charleston South Carolina, is jolani cobb the associate professor at the university of connecticut and a staff writer at the new yorker. What do you mean by the daisy chain of rishl outrages . Beginning with the death of Trayvon Martin three years ago, weve had this kind of consistent you know lowgrade fever sometimes spiking you know of racial conflict you know we saw what happened with jordan davis, we saw what happened in ferguson. Whats happened with eric garner. Whats happened in too many places. So i think theres been a kind of perception that this is a spate of incidents. But in all actuality its us paying attention to something thats been the status quo antifor a really long time. And so we should be mindful that this is not something thats going to go away. That were just now becoming more aware, likely because of social media and cell phone cameras and that sort of thing, we paying more attention to something thats been the reality for a very long time. I want to ask you one of the reports coming out of South Carolina right now is that this perpetrator, mr. Roof is sharing space, right next to officer slager, whose shooting of an africanamerican man, walter scott, was captured on tape in a way that has now become i think part of that daisy chain, part of our experience of it. How is the trauma of the walter scott killing been part of how the local community is responding to this fresh trauma . I was talking with a gentleman last night and hes, he said he saw this kind of thing, this is two incidences endemic. And he also pointed to the video which some people have seen of a gentleman who was reaching for his license, and a police shot him. And he was complying with the Police Officers commands. And was shot nonetheless. And i guess he was trying to say that these like my earlier point, that these two incidences are very highprofile and very outrageous. But this is something that people have been familiar with for some time. Want to come out to you for a second jonathan. Because obviously one of the major differences between a Police Officer shooting and this case is the availability of a gun. We would expect a Police Officer to be armed. Im wondering if any of the proposed Gun Legislation, the things we talk about, everyone can agree on this would any of that have kept this young man from being armed . Well its hard to know because we dont know exactly how he got his gun. There are reports that this was a gun that was passed down and the money was given to him. Theres a kind of family trauma in these mass shooting narratives about parents giving seemingly unstable children their guns. I think that there were warning signs here. That background checks probably would have caught. Theres a history of substance abuse, two arrests and the particular case. So i do think that i think that president obama is very smart to be pushing for some of the legislation. I also want to say just getting back to jelanis piece in the new yorker there were two good things in that essay, we started this week about a conversation about who gets to define who is black and racial identity and i think his point made the point that its a privilege to call yourself what you want. And that in a way this is society telling you who is black. And the other point was, its not just a boomerang of history that were living right now. That in a way, this is our traumatic present. We need to deal with this in the present moment, in order to address it. And i think Gun Legislation is a very important piece and unfortunately our politicians dont seem to have the braveness to address it. Jelani let me come back to you in charleston South Carolina. I know the flag conversation is a big part of what people are talking about on the ground. Is gun control legislation also a part of it in. I cant say ive talked with people here and i havent gotten a really good feel for exactly what people think will come out of this. I did you know have a conversation with a couple of people who have been out in the crowd behind me as you can see. You know its pretty hot out here. Maybe a couple of hundred people braving the heat outside the church and there was a bit of cynicism about exactly what will come out of this. Whether or not there will be action as a result of it. So its kind of hard to say. That sense of cynicism is what feels like begins to set in. What jonathan just called the traumatic present were living with. Thank you to jelani cobb in charleston South Carolina. Up next the history of mother emanuel. I have moderate to severe crohns disease. Its tough, but ive managed. But managing my symptoms was all i was doing. So when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Hi, my name is cliff. Im tom. My name is eric. And i help make beneful. I help make beneful. I help make beneful. After working here, theres no other food id feed my pets.

Call and upgrade to get x1 today. Mother emanuel is more than a church. This is a place of worship that was founded by africanamericans seeking liberty. This is a sacred place. In the history of charleston and in the history of america. That was president obama on thursday speaking about the significance of charlestons emanuel a. M. E. Church mother emanuel. It has roots in the 18th century and enter 1822 one of its founders, masterminded what would have been one of the largest revolts of enslaved people in american history. Plot was exposed by another member of the church. Vessey was convicted and executed. In the aftermath the church was burned down South Carolina banned churches from Holding Services without a white person in attendance. But the congregation persevered Holding Services underground and after the civil war they rebuilt the church. A halfmile from fort sumpter where the first shots of the civil war were fired. When an earthquake destroyed the building in 1886 these replayed it with a structure that stands there today. And throughout its history the church was not only a place of faith but also of activism. Working as part of the underground railroad or advocating for civil rights. Leaders like dr. Martin luther king jr. Gave speeches from emanuels pulpit and led marchs from its steps. Now emanuel a. M. E. Church is showing its resilience in the face of racial injustice, something that black churches have been called on to do far too often. In 1963 Church Bombing that killed four young black girls, and the rash of church burngs in the 1990s. They tell you to pray. In a moment like this but praying is what was happening in the church when the nine lives were taken and so i have been left wondering what am i supposed to pray . We can pray with our eyes open and on our feet. When we think about the history of africanamerican churches they were actually birthed in secret. They were not allowed enslaved men and women were often not allowed to worship or if they were allowed to worship sometimes they had to sit at the back of the church or had to sit in the galley or had to sit in the balcony. They sometimes could not even receive communion. So to be born out of that as a protest against segregation, against dehumanization, africanamerican men and women in these historically black churches have been praying this whole time. But they have been praying and marching praying and protesting. They have been praying and changing legislation. I believe in prayer. I believe in the power of prayer, but im saying on your feet with eyes open. Im saying that that prayer is connected to a history of advocacy, a history of agitation, a history of making a way out of no way and thats what the institution of the africanamerican church represents. Isaiah is there such strength that we can draw from that story. But theres also from me this sense of why must black churches be resilient against burnings and bombings and death . I mean why cant they be sanctuaries of rest and of safety. So there is on the one hand this thing from which i draw strength, but also this sense of when even the safe place is not safe, what are we do emotionally with that. One of the things we need to do is be aware of whats happening. When parents are talking with kids and families are talking together, dont skirt what this actually was, that this was a racially motivated shooting. It made us feel unsafe and this happens in our country from time to time, but it doesnt necessarily happen everywhere. When were able to take it from the unknown, because thats what makes using an should and feels very afraid makes it concrete and say this is what were dealing with and how were going to deal with. To restoring the sense of Psychological Safety by connecting with people that we love by hoping to move for policies that protect us that puts what this trauma is out of the rexalm of anything could happen to me at any moment it empowers the church and the people around it. I feel like it would be hard for me to imagine theres any black christian minister in the country who is not going to preach this tomorrow in some way, drawing from some text. Im wondering whether or not White Christian ministers, particularly in the south will also take this as a moment. Do you believe they will take this as a moment to also preach and to teach on this as a religious question . I hope so i know that dr. King wrote a letter from the birmingham jail in 1963 wondering why some of the white ministers wanted him to leave. They didnt agree with what he was doing, which was in line with what the gospel tells us to do. I hope that ministers who happen to be white will join with every other minister of the gospel. Including africanamerican ministers and call this what it is and talk to the congregations about how to respond and what an appropriate response is.

Across the country, people are paying tribute to the nine men and women who were murdered wednesday inside mother emanuel a. M. E. Church in charleston South Carolina, last night thousands attended a vigil of prayer and solidarity at an arena in charleston. Yesterday there were profound moments of grace. When one by one family members of the mother emanuel victims stood in a courtroom and offered forgiveness to the man charged with killing their loved ones. The man police say confessed to the massacre remains behind bars this morning. Joining me now from the Charleston County Detention Center in North Charleston South Carolina is msnbc National Reporter tremaine lee. Whats next for mr. Roof . This is the beginning of a long process again just the beginning. Yesterday when a magistrate judge set a 1 million bond on the gun charge he said he did not have the authority to set bail on the nine murder charges he faces, that will be left to a state Circuit Court so in the coming days or weeks well figure out what happened. He uttered some sort of racially inflammatory statement before he left the church that may be fodder for a civil rights investigation. Looking at this as a possible hate crime. For the time being hes behind us in this Detention Center. The gipping of a long road. The department of justice indicating theyre considering all avenues, including hate crime and domestic terror in addition to the murder charges for these nine. Thank you to msnbcs tremaine lee in north chalston South Carolina. Following wednesdays massacre at emanuel a. M. E. In charleston, South Carolina the devastation and sense of loss is palpable. The tragedy is called an unspeakable act and a heartbreaking act. Headlines read loner held in church killings. On friday the department of justice discussed their investigation and the spokesperson said the department is looking at this crime from all angles including as a hate crime and act of domestic terrorism. Two terms to describe the massacre that have eluded some gop candidates with many of their initial statements and comments failing to mention race at all. When first asked if he believed the shooting was racially motivated, jeb bush replied, i dont know what was on the mind or the heart of the man who committed these atrocious crimes. Speaking at the faith and freedom coalition, senator rand paul believed that he had the answer. What kind of person goes in a church and shoots nine people . Theres a sickness in our country, theres something terribly wrong. But it isnt going to be fixed by your government. Its people straying away its people not understanding where salvation comes from. And i think that if we understand that well understand and have better expectations of what we get from our government. Finally, Rick Santorum had this to say. You talked about the importance of prayer at this time that were announcing assaults on religious liberty that weve never seen before. So its a time for real deeper reflection even beyond this horrible situation. At the table, dr. Jonathan metsle. Director for the center for health and society as well as professor of health and. Akeel sterling professor of law and Political Science at Yale University and author of the law of the land. And joe watkins, a republican strategist and former white house aide to president george h. W. Bush. I want to start with you, joe, because there is no question every single gop candidate denounced this as a horrible crime. As something disgusting and awful and tragic. It seems to me that how we understand what a thing like this is helps to convey something about sort of what we think the problems are in american society. And we did not hear a racial analysis at least initially from these candidates. We should have. I think they should have called it what it was. The hate crime, a crime based on race and the color of a persons skin. They ought to speak plainly about it. Im a republican, i worked for a republican president and i also happen to be an africanamerican. Im somebody who has to deal with what other africanamerican men have to deal with every single day. It was racial hatred and i think republican candidates are much smarter if they talk about it plainly and clearly to other americans. Im wondering if its a little bit of the john mccain effect, where gop hopefuls may be recognizing that theres an early South Carolina primary that will occur. And that john mccain got himself into trouble 15 years ago. I thought it might be worth taking a listen. But they fought to sever the union of our great nation a cause that would have hurt america, and for a time perpetuated the grave injustice of slavery. They fought on the wrong side of american history. That my friends, is how i personally feel about the confederate battle flag thats is the honest ever i ever gave to a fair question, i feared that if i answered honestly i could not win the South Carolina primary. He was about saying it plain. He said i didnt i didnt give the real answer this is what i think about it. And hes right. He should have just told it the way it was. People respect you if youre true to yourself and if you speak the truth. I want to go to this idea of the have had loner, shooter. Somehow disconnected from a history of american race. I asked you when you came in youre wearing a tie that has Abraham Lincoln analysis that might be useful to share here. Were talking about the republican party. The party of lincoln basically cofounded by lincoln. And were talking about South Carolina and the confederacy and the history. Lincoln was assassinated. He was killed by someone who was a narcissistic murderer. But was also politically motivated, was part of a larger ideology of hate and hierarchy. Abraham lincoln is killed by John Wilkes Booth four days after lincoln for the first time in the white house publicly says i, Abraham Lincoln, think black people should vote and John Wilkes Booth was in the audience when he heard that and he actually said according to reliable reports thats the last speech he will ever give. And thats history, thats context. And its complicated in all sorts of ways lets understand the history and the context. That idea that there is not a mutually exclusive relationship between a narcissistic murderer who is also imbued with a system of racial supremacy of White Supremacy. Well this narrative of the loner again is something we hear in the aftermath of every one of these shootings, perpetuated in some way by the media but also the nra says this is a lone act. This is one crazy person. What that does is it doesnt allow society to look at itself. I feel that we go the wrong way when we tell that narrative. These are moments of about a national ewakenings about ourselves, our own values. This shooter clearly reflected larger ideologies he clearly resonated with larger symbols of racism. I mean i dont think having a flag of rowde hesees rode ease the pathology is us at moments and we do a it a disservice when we negate it. You know 12 or 24 hours they interviewed his friends and neighbors, family members, hes not a lone wolf. Hes situated in a community and a community is in part connected to the heinous act. We cant dismiss this as an anomaly or an abberation, you dont like it when we say its a senseless crime. It makes perfect sense. Racism in this country is as ubiquitous as rain. Instead of saying this is a lone wolf or someone we cant imagine, he told us why he did what he did and he told us who he hated and he told us why. We have to take that seriously so we stop thinking that this is just an individual and it wont happen again. It happens with great degree of regularity. Its broken, our systems are broken. Our institutions and our structures are racist. Until we address that, were continue to have these conversations. Heres one thing weve done historically, when these horrible things have happened. Americans amazingly have made constitutional lemonade out of lemons. Lincoln is martyred and we get the ratification of the 13th amendment and the 14th amendment and the 15th amendment and his memory of his vision and these four little girls are killed in a bomb in birmingham alabamand we get the civil rights act. And president kennedy is assassinated. In his name, Lyndon Johnson says we must have civil rights and Voting Rights and martin king is assassinated and the day after that i believe the Supreme Court hears a landmark Fair Housing Act case jones versus alfred mayer and ringingly affirms the importance of fair housing in america. So we have in american history, taken these horrible moments, used them as occasions to reflect on ourselves and actually make amends. And thats being done on the backs of black people. Thats what we have to say, those occasions have happened, but primarily on the backs of black people. Enough is enough. Let me suggest once wun place where we havent yet done it is in the question of the deaths the martyrs children at sandy hook. And we have not made reasonable accommodations around the question of gun control. And when we come back im going to talk to lucia mcbath, the mother of jordan davis. Hey pal . You ready . Can you pick me up at 6 30 . Ah. boy im here im here cop too late. I was gone for five minutes ugh move it. Youre killing me. You know what, dad .

That was president obama on friday. Speaking out about the attack by dylann roof on the emanuel a. M. E. Church in charleston. The mass shooting has galvanized supporters of gun control including those who have lost loved ones to gun violence. Joining us is lucia mcbath, whose son, jordan davis was shot and killed in a dispute over loud music at a gas station in 2012. Lucy, im so happy to have you here. Why did you feel it was important to be in South Carolina today . Thank you. Well melissa, first and foremost as a black woman, as a black mother who lost her child to the same kind of gun violence tragedy and as a woman of deep moral faith, i felt compelled to be here because i really believed it was so important for me to be here and extend the same support and prayer and sense of community that these very members of this church i know extended to me and my family. In our darkest hours. In fact on last weeks show we discussed the documentary about your sons slaying. The three and a half minutes, ten bullets and are you utterly disillusioned at this moment having lost jordan and then standing there in the space of this loss . Or do you still have hope . I would not be honest if i said oh im not disillusioned, yes. This hurts me to my core. I have spent just so many moments i mean literally in tears over this very thing. For me the last bastion of safety and love and acceptance and forgiveness is in the church and now the gun violence is extended beyond the realm of our communities into the church. And you know where do we go from here as a nation. But i do have hope melissa, i really have to have hope. Because theres nothing left. And what i see here today is a complete spiritual awakening in the community. I see people coming together the way in which god intended this country to live. Because beyond the shooting of these nine black victims this is the same kind of violence that we see across the country. And i see people here today for the first time truly standing together and committing themselves to do something about the gun violence beyond what were going to see and do here today. Luisy, hold on for me a moment. Yolanda, i want to bring you in here. We were talking before the break about akil suggested to us that we have this kind of redemptive possibility that exists in this country. Its part of the christian narrative that undeserved suffering can be redemptive that literally from blood, can come a resurrection in a church space in my mind. And so i guess, again talking to lucy mcbath, you know i dont know how i think there are a couple of pieces here. One is the piece about thinking about suffering as inevitable. But not necessarily redemptive. People suffer bad things happen and we get that. But part of the language that were often using is the way in which we equate salvation and violence together and those two things dont actually belong together. A lot of as i was mentioning before, the break, a lot of the kinds of gains that weve been talking about politically have come about because the blood of black people is soaking this ground. And so we have to think about ways that we can talk about redemption, we can talk about reconciliation or talk about healing. But that isnt always built upon violent acts perpetuated upon black and brown bodies. There is another way and we also have to talk about not just salvation as something theological, but we have to talk about what does it mean to be safe . Not saved, thats an interesting theological question. But what does it mean for black people to feel safe in this country, if on a wednesday night we cannot go into our own houses of worship . Lucy i want to ask you that question. I want to give you that question. What does it mean to feel safe in a country where you cant go to the gas station and play your music as a young person. Where you cant go on a wednesday night to a church and have bible study . I mean thats a very difficult question to answer. Because yeah where can you feel safe . If even now the church has become a platform for violence . I think its a matter of creating that safety. We dont have that safety at this time. So we have to create those safe spaces. We have to be willing to go beyond what we see here today. And go to our Community Legislators and Civic Leaders and pound on their doors, that you are accountable and responsible, a lot of which is happening here in the country. Rest on your hands. And you have the power and you have the authority to help us create safe places safe spaces for our communities and people. And if that if they are not going to be accountable, we will make them accountable. And so what i implore is we have to be the agents of change. We have do create those safe spaces. But we have to push those that have the authority to help us create those safe spaces. We dont have them now. But we have to move towards that. And you do that legislatively, civically, academically socially and most importantly, spiritually. Thank you to lucy mcbath in charleston, South Carolina every time i talk to you, i draw strength from you, you are made of extraordinary stuff. Thank you for being with us. Thank you very much. Here in new york thank you to dr. Jonathan metszle and dr.

Any day the Supreme Court will decide on the future of the Affordable Care act again. Like the courts last big aca decision in june of 2012 this comes when the law is already fully in place and it comes at a time when we know that the aca is finally in many ways working. 22 Million People have enrolled in medicaid or private insurance plans. On the acas exchange. The number of uninsured americans has dropped by 12. 1 million adults the rate of uninsurance has dropped from 20 before the rollout to 13 . If the 21 states that havent expanded their Medicaid Programs chose to do so another 43 Million People mostly in the south can get health care. Despite claims that obama care would force people into subpar insurance claims. 81 of people were satisfied with their insurance plans. Much of it made possible by the federal subsidies that help people afford their monthly premiums. It is the fate of many of those subsidies that is in the hands of the Supreme Court. The justices could very well be on the verge of striking down subsidies in 34 states. The 34 states that failed to build their own Insurance Exchange and use the federal governments exchange instead. Subsidies that go to 6. 4 million americans. Without the subsidies, the premium was jump on average near nearly 300 . Msnbcs erin carmone reports on two of the millions of people who could be affected by the courts impending decision. I put my wig on. Which is always fun because i feel like im a rock star. Six months after ladonna and her husband, tom, bought Health Insurance for the first time in four years they found out la donna has breast cancer. I get a summary from my Health Insurance every month. For the month of may i would have had to pay 16,000, and because i have insurance, i saved 15,803. 18. So how much do you guys pay now . Now were paying about 185 a month. What are you getting for that . Well were getting our moneys worth to say the least it saved us from bankruptcy is kind of an understatement. Because theres no way that we could have afforded to pay any of these medical bills that keep coming in every month. Like 7. 7 million other americans, the applebaums monthly premium slower because they qualified for a subsidy under the Affordable Care act. Any day the Supreme Court may rule that the aid the applebaums got is illegal. Live in missouri. One of 34 states that did not set up its own insurance marketplace. Conservative activists argue that according to the letter of the law, specifically the words established by the state only plans bought on a state exchange qualify for the subsidy. If the Supreme Court agrees 6. 4 Million People will lose the financial help theyre getting. What role does the subsidy play in you guys being able to afford Health Insurance . Its a huge role. They cover over 600. The applebaums are democrats who supported the Affordable Care act. But they say they never expected how much it would affect their own lives. Everyone has told me ladonna you look great, youre doing great getting through this. I cant believe youve had surgery. I cant believe youre going to chemotherapy. And its i honestly believe that i was able to focus on my health and not our wealth. Joining me panel is msnbc panel ren cavone and dr. Kavita patel and a former aide to the Obama Administration. Can we say that the law is a success . Yes we can. Absolutely and i think that your comments have highlighted the success. This was about getting Affordable Health care to americans. As we just saw this is actually happening, its distressing to think that a potential Supreme Court ruling could create more chaos in the meantime. It wouldnt undo the law so what we need to concentrate on is how to move forward because the law is here to stay. You say that let me come to my Supreme Court expert here. So akil it wouldnt undo the law, but wouldnt it sort of a bit like what happened with the Voting Rights act, right . It didnt end the Voting Rights act but it took the teeth out of the ability to do it once section 5 was gone. It would throw a Monkey Wrench into the machinery. But it may very well turn out that this will actually create more chaos for republican governors in republican states because they would be leaving a lot of federal money on the table if they didnt in some way figure out a way to join the system. Maybe they just joined the system by saying we authorize the federal exchange to operate in our state. Its not just four words established by the state. How about one word by. And for the state. Theyll be pressured to did this. Because doctors who are republican constituency in general want to get paid and hospitals and this is a middle middleclass entitlement more like social securitiors rather than a poor persons entitlement, like welfare or aid to families with dependant children and medicaid and so on. When we look at the states that would be impacted there are 34 states with federal exchange. These are the ones that might be affected. As you might expect most of them have republican governors, its why they didnt set up state exchange. And then you see the whole solid south there. If it goes down there may be an ideological win. Theres a kind of rule of politics, you dont take the benefit that your constituents have and do a victory lap. You figure out how to make sure your constituents continue to have this kind of benefit. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. From state to state it depends on what the challenge of constituents might be. But i really dont see at the end of the day whether im republican or democrat i dont see how the court doesnt support the president. I think ultimately the court ends up upholding the president in this matter. It would be inconsistent for them to do something otherwise based on the last ruling. This is an interesting point. The idea of the language of the state, right . Sort of where they have been previously. When i hear the state, i think the leviia thon. There seems to be a discernible effect. When we look at the ten states with the worstranked health. Nine have the federal exchange which means they didnt set it up themselves. Six of them have not expanded medicaid. We see a big representation of the south there. It feels like there is a kind of, i mean having a state with poor health is an Economic Convention not only for that family. But for the state. I have to say im not as optimistic as akill about if the Supreme Court rules for plaintiffs in this case the republicans will be blamed there will be so much pressure on the governors, some democrats. It would be required to set up an exchange. We heard the same thing about the medicaid expansion. We heard that hospitals for example would be pushing and that would lead people to bring, to accept the medicaid money that the Supreme Court made optional. As the professor pointed out, thats involves poor people this involves middle class people. Think ultimately if the Supreme Court says the Obama Administration screwed up this law and people get their subsidies taken away. I think its reasonable to think that people will be angry at Obama Administration as the chaos ensues and even in states that would like to set up exchange, some chose to go to the federal exchange not out of hostility but that they messed up their own attempts. So there will be even absent of hostility. It will take months to years to set up an exchange in the meantime there will be complete chaos. The last point i dont want to miss is that this was a case cooked up by conservative activists to kill the act. The people who have brought this case have been recruited by libertarian and conservative activist who is would like to take away health care from these people.

Audible safety beeping audible safety beeping audible safety beeping the nissan rogue with safety shield technologies. The only thing left to fear is you imagination. Nissan. Innovation that excites. So five years in what we are talking about is no longer just a law, its no longer just a theory. It isnt even just about the Affordable Care act or obamacare, it isnt about myths or rumors that folks try to sustain. Theres a reality that people on the ground day to day, are experiencing experiencing. Their lives are better. This is now part of the fabric of how we care for one another. This is health care in america. That was president obama last week speaking to the Catholic Health Association Conference about the Affordable Care act, celebrating successes even as the Supreme Court considers gutting a major part of the health care law. Dr. Patel i want to come back to you, i have a general rule i use when im trying to figure out how something is likely to happen. I just sort of presume big money interests are going to win. Sometimes im wrong about that but an awful lot of time it turns out that that cynical rule of thumb works. In this case arent Insurance Companies interested in the preservation of this subsidy . Wouldnt they be the ones who lose six million customers . Absolutely. And melissa, your rule is a pretty good one in general in all sectors of the world by the way and youre absolutely right. In fact some of the people that are kind of standing the most nervously on the edge here waiting for the ruling any monday now are the Insurance Companies. And if if the reason i actually think this is different than medicaid is because the people who benefit from the Exchange Plans are very different than the ones who benefit from medicaid plans and they will likely be even more outraged. In a state like florida with 1. 5 Million People and two president ial republican candidates and heavy Insurance Company and heavy insurance involvement you can bet thats going to add up to activism for this effort. Have any of the major Insurance Companies filed briefs with the court on this. I havent seen all the amicus briefs its complicate all around. Just remember there are four rocksolid votes for the administrations position. The four democratic appointees, the four liberals. All they need is one more vote from any of the five on any one of four different theories and so one ill give them case names, one is mcculloch. It says read wholistically, it would say read the statute wholistically. And one is calls chevron. It says defer to the Administrative Agency to make this complicated statute work. A third is the case called ashwander, it says you know actually if you, if you cut off money to the states that didnt play ball that didnt say we create our own exchange. That would be like a gun to the head of the states. In order to avoid the constitutional states rights objection lets construe the statute not to put a gun to the heads of the states. Finally case called penhurst that says its not a very nice thing to have all of these hidden strings in the statute when youre dealing with states. They should be treated nicely with dignity. So the statute itself if its going to impose all sorts of conditions on states have to be clear up front. So the states in Congress Know to fight those conditions if they have a problem. So any one of four theories. Theres a ton of room for those five conservative justices, for one of them to pop over to the side. On one theory. It should be a fundamental kind of conservative world view visavis, the law. Just as an example. We mentioned briefly about confederate license plates there was a Supreme Court case just this week on that. And it was the four liberals joined by my friend clarence thomas. It only took one and who would have thought perhaps. Some of us might have. But only took one conservative on one theory. In the original obamacare case john roberts crossed over. On samesex marriage. It might be anthony kennedy. So its interesting. You know president obama said something about how this is woven into the fabric of our lives now. You know we introduced you to the applebaums they are people who have been having this insurance for a year. He had hand surgery right after she got cancer. 15,000 in a single month is the amount of money that theyre saving. Soday think theres some aspect. Where the justices, they stepped in the earliest possible moment. They should be taken into consideration that people are now getting used to and now have purchased this Health Insurance with the assistance of the government. And what would it mean to uproot it in actual peoples lives. I want to point out particularly black and brown lives, when we look at the reduction of the uninsured rate. Latino uninsurance is down by 10 percentage points, its also had a disparity positive impact on the communities who most need it thank you to dr. Kavita patel. Thank you to you all.

Even as we learn more about the shooter, dylann roof and hess motives, we know what ultimately made the 21yearold deadly was access to a gun. In a country where the number of guns is nearly equivalent to the number of citizens, how can safety ever be assumed . Sunday is the First Official day of summer and already there have been an estimated 5,800 deaths from gun violence this year. In the spring of 2014 alone, an estimated 8,000 people died from gunfire and while highly visible incidents like charleston temporarily capture the nations attention, the pervasiveness of gun violence makes it difficult to give all of its victims a public face or more importantly a story. That is the goal of the new hbo documentary, recquiem for the dead. Using a power mixture of Police Reports and videos it tells the story of gun violence victims who died that spring. Whats going on maam . I somebody shot my daughter. Get an ambulance, please. Chris was like i cant live without her. So nobody else was going to. So he just took her from all of us. Joining me now are Emmy Awardwinning filmmakers behind the documentary. Nick dube and sherry cookson. I was saying before the break sometimes when im screening a film ill be doing other things because of how you put this together, you have to watch the screen at every second. You have to see all the faces, you have to read it. I was stunned by how many young people, and i mean young, teenagers, adolescents, young kids is that a story were missing here . Well its true theres so many so many children are killed. Both in accidental shootings, or get in the line of fire. Something else going. Either one of the headlines i was reading, a couple was having a fight and father took out a gun and shot it and hit the kid and these kind of things are happening all of the time and everybody can be shot. Young, old. Everybody. And thats what this movie just i think for us just we didnt realize it until we started looking. At point you just made its often not the kind of case were looking at this week. Of someone who plan it is decides it and intentionally goes and does it. Sometimes it is. But sometimes it is just the availability of a gun in a moment when our passions and our heat and our anger and our judgment is offkilter. Theres 88 people die every day. Its theres a constant string of killing going on. And the, big, big stories, the stories like charleston is less than 1 of the deaths that happen every year. And these every day, theres these gun fatalities that you dont hear about. And thats what we were trying to do in the film. To bring those alive, make them real. I want to play one of them a tough one. To watch about a murder and suicide. Chris was like i cant live without her. And none of us took that as to mean that he couldnt live without her, so nobody else was going to. And he just took her. From all of us. So i think im also stunned how much social media there was for you to use. How many people tweeted or facebooked or said something about either their intention. I guess i was, that is also a shocking moment for me. You know one thing was, we started out, we had a lot of headlines and maybe hundreds. And we didnt its almost just overwhelming to see all of the headlines. So sometimes i dont even have pictures of the person. So we would start to put a picture with the headline and then you would think thats the person. You know. And then we wondered what else might exist that would let us know a little bit about this person. And we would go into their Facebook Page and wed see how they were. Just a little bit ago. Just alive and living every day lives. And in a way they sort of came alive for us. Of came alive for us and when you see the headline and you realize that they were shot dead its really incredibly moving so that was the spirit we wanted to infuse into the film is make people show their lives. And i really i felt that and watching in the the context of nine people having been sitting there in their Bible Study Group and then gone you have that sense of 88 times a day here.
