jackson made a statement that i think he later apologized for that, he is embarrassed that when he's walking down the street late at night and he hears footsteps behind him, he feels relieved that there are whites following him and not blacks. why would he they? even in the black community, there's a perception you're more likely to be victimized in that situation because there's a greater crime rate in black communities. it's just the way ordinary human beings operate. and yes, we have to train the police to be more sensitive, and the thing they make -- and this is the thing that i think is very important. for instance, the dress. we always talk about the kids with no belt and the pants half way down, well, you know, white kids are dressing like that now too. and that used to arise out of prison culture, when you see that, people worry. get a life. the fashions have changed and you can't stereotype somebody because they're dressed that way. i think that's what we're talking about. cops can't make prumss about people because of the way that they're dressed or clearly because what hav

jacksons? do you think that they hurt or do you think that they help? >> you know, that's great question. and i can't say whether they help or hurt. i know done tremendous things for the black community. do i know at the same time how things are portrayed on television. how things are portrayed on radio, they incite people. so, those individuals, i know they mean well. i don't know them personally so i can't say if they help or hurt, i do trust that they have everyone's best interest at heart. not white but black also and race relations in general, i think are better. like i said in my post, we are in a better spot, i believe than where we were 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 50 years ago, there is a long way to go. my true belief is that education exposure is not the real answer. the real answer is dealing with the heart problem and the heart problem of man is our sinful nature. >> you have i'm sure, gotten mixed reviews, overwhelmingly encouraging though. i was reading some of the comments on your

that was also the faktic in portland, where police ultimately made arrests and where reverend jesse jackson encouraged the crowd. >> we've seen a mean-spirited backlash in our country that does not represent the best in us. we must fight it in the face of michael brown. >> reporter: portland also produced a warm moment from the demonstrations. a photograph of a white police officer hugging a young, black protester. in ferguson volunteers pitch in and the people who made their living in the burned out stores wonder how they'll get by. >> being without a job around thanksgiving, then you don't have a job to buy your kids any christmas presents or even to provide food. that's sad. >> reporter: the state of missouri has already spent $4 million for national guard troops. $3.4 million on state trooper and governor nixon's office says it's not enough. he's calling for a special session of the general assembly to fund all this. >> mike tobin reporting from ferguson, thanks. >>> now, let's bring in members of the legal teams on both sides for a sense of the trial that won't happen. neil bruntrager,

he says about -- and i don't know how jesse jackson took it, i can imagine, he says, i mean, you've got the first mainstream african-american candidate who's articulate, bright and clean and a nice look guy. [laughter] i'm glad i didn't say that. i wouldn't be here tonight. i'd probably be in -- [laughter] san quentin. and another unwittingly honest revelation, senate majority leader harry reid found comfort in obama's having, quote, no negro dialect. [laughter] again, i'm glad i didn't say that. by the time obama emerged as a national candidate, every major newsroom in america -- save one -- was chock full of people who thought like harry reid and joe biden. it's harder to calculate their attitudes towards race, but the collective media indulgence of well spoken black liberals, and i will say this absolutely, black conservatives get no such pass, they get the opposite treatment. just ask clarence thomas or herman cain. boilermaker, i had to say that. ask them about that. but liberals, black liberals who speak and act and sound and echo what the white liberals say get ap incredible pass

you're not jesse jackson, you're not al sharpton. you're the president of the united states of america. your job is to hold that office and not put yourself in these situations where people may think you want a certain outcome. >> mark? point? good point? >> well, but if the -- if the outcome -- you can say i want justice. even when he said my son would look like trayvon martin, he didn't say george zimmerman was innocent or guilty. he was saying it's a tragedy. >> he certainly wasn't helping george zimmerman out. >> we can speak about the tragedy of racial injustice in this country without taking a side on the grand jury investigation. >> guys -- >> i want the president to be above the fray. >> we are out of time. oh what fun it is to ride. get the mercedes-benz on your wish list at the winter event going on now - but hurry, the offer ends soon. [ho, ho, ho!] lease the 2015 c300 4matic for $419 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live lif

of incurable us tvs, so many babies born out of would walk and over 80% of them were aborted in the jesse jackson used to say this is the white man's answer to the welfare problem. >> host: 80% of the abortions are among the minority. black, hispanic, but you should also note 70% of the population is minority so it isn't as disproportionate. this is what happened in britain if you look at the nhs. there is a chapter in my book called fewer versus care and i'm all for that government spending more money to find a cure. if we can find a cure for alzheimer's disease. they are retiring and you're going to save a whole lot of money from having to treat people with alzheimer's. you see the people on panels and you can call them whenever you like the d. naim people care and surgery because it costs too much money and they are fooled by the art contributing enough to the government. life has been cheapened in one level of the unborn and now the challenge is idea the other level, the unwanted. >> host: of the heroes that you cited in the book is none other than john calvin thomas. so, your story f

we're live in jackson, ocean county, new jersey, jesse gary. >>> three minutes after 4:00, new from overnight, the captain of that ferry boat that sank off the coast of south korea killing more than 300 people has been sentenced to 36 years in prison. investigators found him guilty of abandoning ship. he was acquitted of the more serious murder charges. prosecutors were seeking the death penalty. >>> philadelphia police will charge a driver with dui after this overnight crash. the man was heading towards the intersection when he lost control and the dar flipped over there and hit a parked car. the driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. >>> police responded to a bizarre incident after last night's eagles game. they say a man tried to attack police with a metal baton. this is video of the police response from our camera at the wells fargo center. officers say the man was wearing eagles gear waving that large metal baton. when he was approached he did attack an officer and the officer wasn't hurt and the man is arrested and facing several charges. >>> four inmates were hospitalize

jesse jackson led pro-life rallies on the grounds that attemptedas an genocide against the black population. in fact, the public funding of abortion was developed by southerners as a final solution to the race problem. and ronald reagan was pro-choice. >> so was barry goldwater. >> as scientific evidence and all these other things came in the movement changed, and these debates in the early days are very strong. we developed a new consensus. but we did not say those people who did not see the light were all going to go to hell. we decided we would keep them in and accept their votes anyway. that is really what you have to do if you want to win. >> surprisingly, stefan has a question. >> i'll bet he's from mississippi. i just want to say. i really enjoyed. every time i say mississippi, they put $1.00 in my account. i thoroughly enjoyed everything you had to say, but because the three of you are all yappers and you have been around for a while and had a lot of influence on what the organization is today and you have definitely just dedicated your lives to the movement, what are some of your f
