My name is jerry streets. I work at a church in you have in new haven. I was also a chaplain of Yale University for 15 years and have been a member of Divinity School since 1987. For 63lived in basia years. Was from a prominent africanamerican family in and part of my family was polish catholic. Members i have of that kind of experience is how home at basia, but in the neighborhood, it was considered just black. We think about our local experiences and our history of race. For me, i think one of the greatest challenges for us, to have a different kind of language and critique for the world of culture and racism, not culture and race. Draw station i tried to from that, all the good things, one of the ways culture functions is that it can be a conduit for ideology, four perspectives. And racism for me is the ways by which we take any aspect of any Ethnic Community and privilege it or disqualify it over others. So it is not just a matter of looks. It is a language, it is the distinctions
Charlie rose, syrians president bashar assad denied he had anything to do with the chemical weapons attack that happened. Well talk to john harwood and politicos ben white. We also have some corporate news. Nieman marcus in talks to be bought with the canadian pension Investment Board for more than 6 million. The wall street journal says theyre trying to finalize a deal. The talks could fall apart. The company filed for an ipo in late june. Some of the sources ive heard of and talked to, this deal will come. A number of folks have been flying around since the ipo was there. Canadas pension fund is getting involved in a lot of different things. Theyve also been listed as a potential buyer of blackberry. This is true. Its odd to see a pension fund involved. That is actually a whole other issue. You probably have some guesses on about this. Now youre seeing a lot of Pension Funds decide, forget private equity per se. Were going to do it ourselves. Forget the fees. Forget all of the things
You wrote a letter on july 19, just a couple of months ago, to senator levin you laid out the different options for military force in syria in terms of control of chemical weapons and even in the context of a limited strike. You and im quoting from your letter here on the efficacy of a limited strike. Over time the impact would be the significant degradation of capabilities and an increase in regime desertions. Again a lot of us read this stuff. Im sure in the public sometime theres skepticism but your warnings, for a lot of us, have been taken to heart. What i think a lot of us struggle with is how can a policy rely on the assaad military to secure chemical stockpiles at the same time were bombing that army . And again you addressed this in the past and a lot of us are trying to figure out what changed here to give us that confidence level that we can count on on the assaad regime to continue to control these stockpiles. Well, without getting into the targeting as i tried to articulat
I ended up deciding for the dog. Justice marshall, you have often written about someone who appeared in the first case, a man named clark walker. Tell us why he is so significant. The oldest constitution in the world is still being the massachusetts constitution to it starts with all men are born free and equal. It has changed to all people. Massachusetts in 1780 had slavery. It is not always the south. Sometimes it is the north as well. Five justices had been appointed by the king. They come before the court with a brilliant lawyer, saying, excuse me, it appears all men are created equal. The case involved a slave and his owner bringing him back. They said slavery was unconstitutional, and massachusetts had not had slavery until 1783. There were only two cases i knew about. One was a wonderful case. The clerk walker case. When governor wells nominated me to the court, it was such an ancredible so incredible. Privilege of honor. When you become a judge, my experience is all judges find
Times over the past year. Well be taking all of this up and considering why the president is suddenly trying to pass responsibility for his own ultimatums and threats to assad, and his decision to authorize punishment with Foreign Affairs Committee Member congressman ted yohu who pressed secretary of state john kerry on the president s plans in a hearing held today. The syrian resolution passes the senate Foreign Affairs committee after members capitulated to the demands of senator john mccain. General dad grain joins us to assess the strike plan but we begin tonight with the latest on the president s pitch on military strikes against syria and another attempt to distance himself from his own decision. The president today actually put the responsibility on the international community. Heres mr. Obama earlier today in stockholm, sweden. I didnt set a red line. The world set a red line. My credibility is not on the line, the international communitys credibility is on the line. And americ
