viewed as a problem. a problem to be managed, dealt with, but never solved. and today more than 100 years later, black and brown men are viewed as a problem to be dealt with harshly. they re viewed that way in our schools. they re viewed that way on the street. they are treated like a problem rather than a group that may have some problems like all people of all colors have problems. it s part of the human condition. but they re viewed as the embodyembod embodyle of a problem. in fact, i think one of the reasons why trayvon martin s death resonated so profoundly is because it s a rare experience in the so-called era of colorblindness, when suddenly the curtain was pulled back and all of the usual justifications and rationalizations for treating black and brown boys and men as a problem and up to no good were revealed to not hold water. all you had was this, you know,

it s kind of bad. so, toure, there were so many republican mishaps and miscalculations but none i would say more disconnected from reality than this one. let s just take a watch since we re going down memory lane. juf to be careful about calling things when we have like 991 votes separating the two candidates and a quarter of the vote yet to count. maybe not so fast. thanks a lot. thank you. great to have you guys here. that s awkward. i mean that s awkward. here is the thing, we saw that. and then after the election we heard about free stuff and we heard all these various rationalizations but if you look at what s been going on in the last couple days like in the fiscal cliff conversations, it feels like the republicans don t actually they didn t get the memo, they lost, aged they lost big, right? they lost big. because they don t have a big tent, they have a very small tent, it definitely seems they don t understand that we ve continued on their first they re th
