Of people who want to make it impossible for anyone to talk honestly about our history of racial bias. they want to silence anyone who wants to address this past. and thats what happened in the 1950s when you had segregationists punishing anyone who talked about integration. its what happened after reconstruction, when we punished emancipated black people for trying to exercise their rights. its what happened during enslavement, when we made it illegal, a capital offence, for someone to advocate...

Support comes in all ages, races, shapes and sizes. i dont need only black people to support me. you can find something in common with people that look like you but that is not what we are here for. what about the big melting pot of america? this is a country that is built on a shared experience and ruby bridges, her foundation is so beautiful because the whole point of her foundation is to actually celebrate the sharing of our differences and to attack racism through integration, not segregatio...

Me think about ruby bridges because it is not -- november was the anniversary of november 14th i believe it was 1960 when a tiny little 6-year-old black child became the first child to integrate a school in the south in new orleans and she went to school with four federal marshals, had people throwing stuff at her and screaming at her, bringing coffins to school with black baby dolls and only one teacher would teach her. they were in a classroom alone and im sure mrs. henry felt unsupported and ...

Shouldnt shock anyone. it was joe biden who worked with the former klansmen byrd. he didnt want integration of our public schools because he didnt want our public schools becoming in his words racial jungles. now the speech was so bad even the reverend al sharpton called it a "youre going to hell" speech, not a vote getting one. >> in this particular case, dealing with my friend andnd brother joe, if he was trying to get votes, it was not the vote getting speech. it was, when youre the preacher ...

You know, orangeburg is home to the orangeburg massacre, one of the worst things thats ever happened in terms of civil rights in south carolina. students were protesting for the integration of the local bowling alley. fearing violence, the governor sent in the south carolina highway patrol. one night, the patrol broke out in gunfire, killing three students and injuring 28 others. it was 50 years ago, but thats not something that people in town have forgotten. its kind of like the shadows of a da...

I cant remember a time in american history where our basic democratic principles have been more threatened, more challenged. if you are unwilling to accept clear facts, clear realities about who wins an election, about what is a virus and whats not a virus, what is a sensible response, what is health, whats not — if you can create false narratives around all of these things, you make yourself vulnerable to authoritarianism, and weve seen that play out across the world, so no, im deeply concern...

In risk for civil rights many decades ago and lyndon johnson required the help of the republicans to pass the civil rights active 64, joe biden from he was busy trying to stop the integration of public schools when he partnered with the former klansman robert byrd kkk" byrd. he was worried that his children would grow up in schools that were "racial jungles." joe said that. according to joe if you dont support his federal election take over, you are a domestic enemy of the united states who side...

So no, im deeply concerned about this moment that we are in. and again, it reminds me of what people were worried about in the 1950s after the court mandated an end to segregation. they were worried about governors standing in front of courthouse doors, saying, "no, i will not comply with these federal orders," people shutting down schools rather than allow integration. it was a very disruptive moment created by this momentum toward progress, and i think were experiencing that now in america. bu...

Of slavery or the lynching and the segregation. my interest is liberation. i genuinely believe theres something better waiting for us in this country. there is something that feels more like equality, feels more like freedom, feels more like justice, and i think its waiting for us. but that means were going to have to talk about things that we havent talked about. and the process, the goal, the purpose of that talking is to get to a shared understanding of what our history has been so that we ca...

This is a president you go back and two years you try to stand out in this giant democratic field in the primaries by saying im the one with all the experience, send me to d.c. because i know how to get things done. that was a big part of his pitch the entire time and almost a year in it just did not pan out like that. >> sean: especially when you look at his comments about bull connor, heres a guy who praised strom thurmond, praised george wallace, heres a guy who partnered with robert byrd a f...
