michael, put on your go for it. go ahead, michael. he s got an even bigger problem that that. african-americans are the foundation of the democratic party. you have people like sinema posting pictures with john lewis. but black people aren t photo ops. if people are trying to deprive african-americans of voting rights, which is what republicans are doing, they re picking states like florida, georgia, arizona, trying to ensure african-americans can t vote and thereby they win the election it s not enough to try. we have to win the ball game. if black people can t vote, the democratic party will never be able to pass legislation. this idea that he wants to invite sinema over, wants to invite manchin over you bring up a good point. how does biden turn this around?
mississippi. he wants them to get out and vote for mike espy. is that enough to put him over the top or enough of those white voters in the state of mississippi who will overlook, be willing to overlook some of these stories we ve seen from cindy hyde-smith to make the difference? it s very important to turn out african-americans. if mike espy wants to win. if he really wants to carry the state. the problem, of course, with that argument is, and it s this idea that african-americans can t be the savior for all these states in the south and florida. people look at black people and look only black people turned out. that s just not true. there are going to be white people who need to vote and look at cindy hyde-smith and say do we want somebody like this to represent our state. she s embracing trump in a way that makes me happy. the fact that the president is
chow, other than the generals to protect our national you are standing next to him. we cannot let that go. the appeal has to continue. dr. pearson, we saw another statue come down overnight in maryland. a supreme court justice who presided over scott. sad to see the history and tull culture of our great country ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments, you can t change history, but you can learn from it. what is your personal reaction to that? i think there is one thing to be ignorant of history, it s something completely disrespectful of what american history is and not understanding chief justice haney s role in the dread scott decision. i don t think he has any sense of na whatsoever. that decision essentially said african-americans can t be citizens in the united states of america and folks should do their research on that. that is probably a statue that should have come down a long time ago. historians will tell you, it s one of the worst decision
one minute? i want to follow up and bring it together. sure. tom said about the legacy of slavery. what s interesting about the response by ben affleck is who owns the property of slairy meaning who owns the ep memory? an african-american descendant of enslaved african-americans can t shrug off the legacy of slavery the way in which somebody like ben affleck can. it was disowning he is own family legacy and also not acknowledging both the privilege he inherited by bu the way in which white privilege works in the present and black disadvantage works many the present. that s the bigger issue. there are other models like edward wl ball in his investigation of his slave holding family in his book and the whitney plantation. there are way this is which certain white americans are trying to understand the link between blacks and whites americans, slavery as a project of reare kovry recuperation and
facilitators. they should be trying to promote conversation promote talk inging but it s hard when the mayor of new york is undermining the the police in his speeches. he says african-americans can t trust the police. how are you promoting conversation when one of the parties feels undermined, under attack. they represent constituents. this mayor was electeded by african-americans overwhelmingly. and this represents african-american interest and the fact that as the father of a mixed race and african-american son, speaks very poignantly and honestly and truthfully about the danger of being a black man in new york city. but the danger that comes from the hands of law enforcement. they could kill you. so when i go to the question of facilitation that you levelled for us here and this idea of what we hear the facilitators saying.
