i remember when jesse jackson ran for president and we were forced to ask, answer the question are you a black journalist or are you a journalist who's black. and i remember my dear friend gwen ifill talking about how ridiculous the question was. and it still persists. where people want to have two parallel tracts of stories in america, when there's one satisfactory -- one story that you keep plucking things out of. whether it's the cabal of folks in texas who try to keep things outth of textbooks or call us migrant workers who came to build america and they just forgot to pay us, which is insulting finish. >> right, right, right. >> to leaving out entire bits of pre-colonialism to make children believe nothing start before white people discovered places that already existed. so i think for me -- actually, there was a shift. the biggest shift for me is that i will not be silenced about it anymore. i havee now'v reached a point iy career as a columnist where i can write whatever i want, and i literally do. i wrote this book while continuing to do my job. i'm working on the second book n

you have jesse jackson and president obama, you have that city is a killing zone and i find that the black community is ignoring that reality. >> thank you. we have a question on chicago violence and accountability there. we have a question about the direct involvement of citizens in creating and enforcing community standards around the use of lethal force. then we also have a question around sentencing and escalation/deescalation. one thing i would say to the panelists is try to be brief. you don't have to answer every one. pick one and then we can go from there. i'm going to start with rashawn. >> i'll be quick. thank you for your questions. in regards to chicago, you know, people always highlight black on black crime, but for some reason, we don't frame crime as being white on white crime. crime is crime. >> no, no, no. >> let me finish. >> [ inaudible ] you're giving them an out, you know that. you're giving them an out. come on now. >> so i'm going to ask us to respectfully listen to the panelists as they complete their answers. go ahead. >> thank you. here's the stat for everyb

jackson and a president obama, and that city is a killing zone, and the black community is ignoring that reality. >> thank you. we have a question on chicago violence, and accountability there. we have a question about the direct involvement of citizens in creating and enforcing community standards around the use of lethal force, and we also have a question around sin to sing and escalation and de- escalation. one thing that i'm going to say to our panelists so that we can get more questions in is try to be brief. you don't have to answer every single one, but pick one and we can go from there. >> quickly, and i will be very quick and thank you all for your questions. in regards to chicago, people always highlight black on black crimes, but for some reason, we don't frame crime is being white on white crime. crime is crime, and let me finish. let me finish. are you going to let me finish? >> i am going to ask us to respectfully listen to the panelist as they complete their answers. >> so here is the stats to everyone that wants to know. 94% of crime that black people commit, is comm

jesse jackson fought to change the rules. yolanda served on the fairness commission that made sure those rules get rid of winner take all. so we represent what the party can become, but the party best not ever go back to the what it was. >> that's right. [applause] >> i agree with what you're saying, donna, but that was like 20 years ago, and the party of ron brown is not the party of today. >> okay. >> well, i think that right now in this country there are two major parties, so you can choose sit it out because you don't like either, or are you going to try to make some change in one. so for me, i don't love will have everything the party does. some things i think are just nonsensical, i disagree with. but it is the party, as donna said, fannie lou hamer couldn't be seated. fifty years later i'm running the convention, right? there's progress in that. [applause] but beyond that what you see now as you see all these african-americans and people of color, latino, lgbt the folks running for office, a lot of them are are running

it took jesse jackson to come to georgia for a machine to magically appear. brian kemp who is a secretary of state and the republican nominee has some serious questions to answer as to why this loading process and his date was so messed up. if it was a mistake about the georgia voters should be saying, are we sure that we want the person who can't run the voting -- >> ed: stacey abrams not conceding it. judy, let's go big picture and not just get in the weeds in georgia. democrats had high hopes that with stacey abrams in georgia, being the first female black governor anywhere in america, and the possibility of andrew gillum morning, he conceded, he's lost in georgia, they would be this whole new face of the democratic party. they've lost in florida. you did not win the governor's e and now losing here. what do you see big picture if the democrats? pick up is, that wave of newcom, that has not happened. what you see is people fixated on trying to find a way to check the president's power. i really think when you see that you're not on both sides, especially o

jesse: i'm going to go with bo jackson. it might be sanders. >> let's look. it could have been bo. >> he was a jack of all trades. he was defensive back for the nfl and he had a major league baseball career that lasted 9 years just like me. jeff howard was an under rated stooge. let's get that rating up. jesse's score is zero. question number three. in a recent interview on australian television whose run to fame did jon bonjovi describe as horrific? jesse: i am going to go with b kardashians. tom: i thought you would say michael moore. the answer is, the kardashians. he's on the board. the kardashians are frighteningly successful. their combined net worth is $1.5 billion. jesse: that doesn't sound horrific to me. here is yes question number four. what is the dot over the letter "i" and the letter j. called. is it a titt lerks, a canker or a glph? jesse: can i phone a friend? let's go:tittle. tom: that little dot over the letters i and j is called titt lerks or a super script dot. jesse, that brings your score to, 2-2. this is your final question. here we go.

jackson are two things. one, he is eager and keen to do what many say are the impossible. and if you're not willing to do what others say is the impossible, then you have failed your ancestors. in addition, let me be clear none of us though we admire many people, can be that person. as i've heard his story over and over again by his father, who said to him don't worry about being like those but be the very best al sharpton you can be. i'm asking you to let me be the best sheila jackson-lee i can possibly be. i'm going to take a moment to craft my presentation around the legislative agenda that is crucial that you embed as you go out and then as you go back home and as you continue to hold us accountable in the 116 congress. let me pay tribute and acknowledge those who have suffered the direct response, let me acknowledge april. i honor the women and men who have gone on either in our ancestral slave history or during reconstruction that didn't last or the early days of jim crow. it's a tribute and recognitio
