another priority of the naacp. we increased funding for 160,000 teachers to take on something called the jobs and credit act of 2010. our black farmers are having a major challenge. the department of agriculture treated them differently. we supported the farmers that became the pickford lawsuits. we had to protect our black farmers and make sure they were compensated for the losses and the discriminatory treatment of them by the department at the time. we passed the healthy, hunger free kids act. finally, we swore into office someone who would help restore the eeoc to the position of prominence. she is one of ours. we work hard and our democratic with a small d. the naacp believes if we educate our members and actively engage in the process of voter registration and make sure voters can get out to the polls on election day this november and to make sure when they go to the polls, they will be protected -- that is a hard lesson in 103 years at the nation's oldest grass-roots civil rights organization. there is a pap

she is one of the great leader is at the naacp. [applause] -- leaders at the naacp. i just want to be clear because we have a great panel and i want to get to them. two things. the first is that the game changed in 2011. we must understand it. prior to 2000 we had ambushed the gore and it became voter -- we had bush v. gore. in 2011 we saw the most massive assault through the passage of state laws we have seen and at 100 years. we should not expected -- we should teach a because every time the vote expands it is followed by this suppression effort. now it has changed again. voter registration, gotv, protect the vote and protect our voting rights. and so we must be on the battlefield not every two years and every four years but every year. the last time -- the playbook after the passing of the voting rights act was illegal voter suppression. the lesson from 2000 is when you break the law to suppress the vote it gets really messy. this time they have reached back beyond that to the playbook from after the civil war which was to use the law to suppress the vote. let's u

marshall of the naacp. and he didn't emerge and form an organization early on like martin luther king jr. and the sclc, so he didn't have those organizational bases to tap into. another reason comes into play, and that is that rustin was openly gay for his era. and for that reason he decided, well, let me add another point. he was also arrested on charges of lewd vagrancy at different points. so those who were civil rights leaders, as well as bayard himself, chose at different times for him to step into the shadows. and he did that sometimes willingly and sometimes not willingly. bayard also, i want to emphasize, was a great speaker. early on he was known for his ability to be a great speaker. and that ability faded into the background as these arrests happened and as people became concerned about his sexuality tainting the movement, about his arrests tainting the movement and, also, about his roots in communism tainting the movement as well. and so his speaking abilities went to the background, and as that

tonight, the naacp held a meeting to discuss the case and several other alleged incidents at police using excessive force. >> the purpose of tonight's meeting was to gather information to support a possible case or information that we may want to turn over to the department of justice to see if there is a pattern of police brutality here in the city of lawyer. . >> the naacp wants the police department to put the officer in question on leave. they plan to hold a demonstration at the dpt on monday. poce have not publicly commented on the case since the arrest. a warning for women tonight after a disturbing and counter on metro. right now, police are searching for a man behind an up skirting incident on rails. er erica gonzalez is live with details. >> reporter: jim, women that we talked to say the whole incident is not only weird, it's disgusting and say it could have just as easily been one of them. police say a woman called them yesterday about a man acting peculiar around her on the platform of the takoma park metro station. the victim says initially, the man approached her asking for d

they don't want -- you ask why isn't the naacp outramminged? where is al sharpton -- no justice, no peace? they don't want to take on this administration. this black president is for black people. >> sean: i think they are emboldened. they feel like, we got away with banging on clubs and putting a bounto somebody's head. why not ratchet up the rhetoric. nobody's going to do anything. >> traditional black leadership, the black people in the civil rights move. have not espoused violence-- >>> where's attorney general holder? >> you know what? let me tell you, in this environment today, you don't have the space to critique in a loving way, the people you support, or people with whom you might be -- >> two wrongs don't make a right -- two wrongs don't make a right -- >> but he said -- >> he's the attorney general of america. >> angel ai did not say that. i am simply saying that traditional black leadership has never supported violence. >> sean: we have to go -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: everybody breathe. in through the nose... hang on. >> yo

the african-american vote but the optics of hey, i'm the republican that goes to speak to the naacp. >> also, remember karl rove said this to his donors, and romney's line as much as i hated it about obama said he was going to slow the rising of the oceans and i'm here for you and your family, they understand that if they're going to get those one in four voters that are up for grabs, you cannot do that by attacking barack obama. you've got to be -- he's a good guy, he's a family guy, but we disagree on policy. the line when he said like i wanted obama to succeed because i want america to succeed, they understand that's their pivot point. if they can keep it up to the fall, that's going to appeal to moderate voters. >> mark, that seems to be straight out of the karl rove focus group data that you don't vilify the president, you say it's okay to make a change and then presumably your super pacs do the work of the hard line attacks. >> well, look, remember mitt romney started out, one of his big stump speech lines in the beginning was president's a nice guy, he's a family man, i like h

the naacp required a photo i.d. to enter their own convention. >> guest: they actually said georgia five years ago when georgia pass it voter i.d. law. the case was dismissed because the judge noted the fact that the plaintiffs couldn't come up with a single witness. not one person in georgia would be unable to vote because of the idea that included the naacp. the naacp couldn't find a single one of its members in the state of georgia who didn't already have a photo i.d. under the law. >> host: so why can't we do both things simultaneously, and i think this gets too wide this is a pitched partisan issue and why people are spending millions of dollars to fight it. why can't we have a secure voting system in which ultimately eligibles citizens are voting and increased registration? >> guest: the former democratic senator who was the co-author of the help america vote act which was the only bipartisan piece of legislation that passed after the florida debacle he said the goal of our laws must need to make it easy to vo

how do you get 0% after going to the naacp and guaranteeing it's going to be a better world. >> that is unbelievable. i'm not sure how that even registers. you would think even the brothers that don't like to vote might show up. it's unbelievable. >> even john mccain got some black votes. that's like -- is romney going to get any black people to step up, is he going to get into double digits at all with voters? >> it's tough, there may be brothers that vote for them, and then ask for them back, so you might get negative black votes. >> you recently compared machinery's mormonism to obama's blackness, explain that. >> they're both unique. we never had a mormon president, it's unique, and people don't know much about mormonism. and we don't have a wasp in this presidential election. the closest is obama because he's half white. >> you wasn't to salt lake city, your special is called "race, religion, and sex." >> hello salt lake city, i'm hosting a town hall meeting about race, religion, and sex. your favorite things. you know what's interesting, i've been pedaling for three hours and i

. >> but didn't mitt romney appear before the naacp? wasn't that supposed to give him a little tiny bump? i mean did, that make any difference at all, maria? >> well, and i it you willy gave him kudos for doing that. i thought it was brave. but what did he do not a few minutes or a few hours after he appeared at the naacp? he went to a fundraiser of obvious romney supporters and bragged that he went to the naacp and he was booed because he talked about how he wanted to repeal obama care. and he told this group, look, if this group of people, talking about african-americans, want more free stuff from the government, they should be voting for the other guy. so that's clearly disrespectful to the african-american community. and not really a way to reach out to them. and i think to your point, the romney campaign has made a cold political calculation that they don't need any african-american support. and i would add to that, i think they have made a cold political calculation that they don't need any latino support. because he's kind of in

all here in this very integral part of our city and all the other clergy that are here as well as the naacp, represented by a pastor reverend amos brown and his staff, along with the police chief, or public safety clusters, juvenile probation, a deprivation, community-based agencies, city services office, and the number of community groups that have engaged me and my staff and all of the supervisors are on this very serious question around public safety in our city. many of you have known and heard in the past couple of months my very deep concerns about our safety, particularly of our young kids, and particularly of our african- american kids. not everybody can be a gabby or an olympic hero. not everybody can do that. not everybody can participate in the 5000 jobs that we are creating in the internship programs that are paid that we signaled this summer. not everybody can be successful in everything that we do to try to set up those conditions for people to be successful. there are some who, unfortunately, touch our juvenile and adult probation criminal-justice system, and we try to find w

what i know impair,ly, the naacp, whether it is ben jealous or something close to ben jealous. i'm not surprised that tom vilsack didn't know. did you see tom vilsack? i'm not surprised about that. >> i want to -- there is a passage which i think we should end with the president's words, he is such an incredible writer, where he is talking -- he's talking about a lesson he learned about how black politicians talk about race. his book rihn in 2006. i remember once sitting with one my democratic colleagues in the illinois state senate as we listened to another fallow senator, anfrican-american who represented a largely inner city district. launch sboi a lengthy tirade about how it was acase of racism. you know what the problem is? whenever i hear him, he makes me feel more white. i said it's not easy for black politicians to gain the right tone to take when discussing the enormous hardship facing his or her constituents, still my white colleague's comment was instructive. it's about learning a lesson as a black politician who is in a world on the south side of chicago, where if t

the group was the naacp, which is a 5 01c4 it does not disclose its donors. the supreme court and in 1954 upheld the right of organizations like that not to make their donors' names public. let's be honest. this is about a group of people on the left who have used this vehicle to run advertising and run attacks on republicans for years, and i object when republicans begin to duplicate their tactics. they want to intimidate people into not giving to these conservative efforts. i think it is shameful and a sign of their fear of democracy. it goes to show the base of the motions and philosophy behind most of this >> kim barker, that was karl rove print >> you have fox putting him up there. on the side has all the words "american crossroads. that is not what he was talking about. who is talking about crossers gps as opposed to american crossroads. nobody understands there are these groups that can spend money on ads that do not have to disclose their donors. he was talking about the night in -- 1958 case involving the naacp and alabama. the supreme court said gro
