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 americas 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 didnt 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 celebrate his birthday king. I want to start with the book and its probably fair to say you were o

I have not found out, but in voluntary immigrants, that is a different thing. Hitting the ground, jamaica, the hitting the ground moving. Haiti, they hit the ground moving, what great people they are. Different circumstances. Dont put it in the same category. Some put it in the same category. Thousands of bones in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean that will remind us of that immigration track of those precious dignified africans who came here and encountered a slave auction, and that is also what we are dealing with for ferguson, already criminalized before we got here and still look at too many of our precious young black people as if they were criminals before they had done anything. True for brown, but especially for black. I appreciate that question. I applaud him this time. I time. I applaud him. Zero, yes. Absolutely. We have time for one more my name is louis armstrong.
