belief -- chris coates used a term hostility within the department to such cases. they don't believe the voting rights laws were enacted for the benefit of white people and they don't care even if a society where we have a black president, a black attorney general, a black supreme court justice. they don't care whether those laws are still not being enforced to protect whites. that's exactly what he said. >> bill: but the climate of this kind of an attitude didn't happen when barack obama was elected. it was there way before that. >> no. and chris coates talks about how they never these cases. how they brought up this case against ike brown. the second one they brought like in the history of the voting rights act was the new black panther case. as soon as the obama administration got into control they made them yank it. he says that's because there is this attitude, he calls it a deep seeded opposition to the equal enforcement of the voting rights act against racial minorities and for the protection of whites.
