peaceful yet continue to lift this issue up. this is a very positive moment. the images that we're seeing in new york and across the country and in baltimore standing in solidarity with that city as we continue to mobilize and talk about this very critical issue. >> you know you're a young guy, john. when you hear all this talk about whether or not it was appropriate for the president or the mayor of baltimore to use the word thugs to describe the vie lent protesters those who engage in arson and looting and then the mayor apologized for that explain to our viewers why that word thugs is inappropriate. >> so often we find ourselves overusing words in our vocabulary that have no business being there. oftentimes too often in this country, we're finding "thug" referring to young african-american men in our community. sadly, many leaders see that that's possibly the new equivalent of the "n" word.
