don't miss it paul is the son of segregationist strom thurman. he ran for a state rights candidate. there is an interesting piece, whitney, in solon immediately after the charleston shootings that suggest that part of what happens is we just don't talk about white violence in the same way, and there are some questions we could ask. what if we said is there something wrong with the white family? what should politicians do about white crime? what if we asked when will white leadership step up and stop right wing domestic terrorism? we don't even use discourse like that, and sometimes it is just the naming of whiteness itself that is part of what must happen. >> what's part of this whole thing that i believe is the organizing principle of the world is the denial of what you know to be true right? that's kind of the reality, especially when it comes to issues of race. i think language is really
spokeswoman for the korean coalition to end domestic violence. and also right there, clearly together, is zach night iningnightingale, who is her attorney. was nan he abused by her child's father? is there any way for us to sort this out? >> i think that's a really good question. sometimes sometimes in domestic violence cases, it can feel like a he said, she said thing, but nicky do feel there was domestic violence by the testimony. and she called police on two separate occasions because she feared the violence that was happening, but unfortunately in both times, police never wrote reports. >> wouldn't nan e be protected under violence against women protections if in fact she is a survivor of domestic abuse and
