king or malcolm x, rfk our jfk. we ve seen what happens when the level of rhetoric reaches a boiling point. my father is 74 years old now, i m 34 year-old now. he lived through the orangewood massacre. i lived through the charleston massacre. i ve seen what happens. when we get the rhetoric to where it is. for senator kennedy or anyone else to say that this is a both sides issue, even before my good friend mr. irving gets talking, this is not a both sides issue. this is an issue of violence, this is an issue where we need a leader, and many of us don t have faith that a leader exists 37 this is very hyperpartisan. this is one side of the democratic party, displaying their first amendment right and another side displaying violence. someone needs to stand up and say something. i don t have any faith in anyone to do it. i hear you on some of that, you do have a right to protest, not in a private restaurant.
the president. who will make the changes? how are these changes going to happen. let s bring in bakari sellers and david. was your take similar to the one i had at the top of the show, the president had an opportunity to say look, this is on me, this is on everybody else, i can be better, you can be better. and he did not take that opportunity. well, i disagree with you on two points, chris. the first is that i don t have that same level of expectation of the president of the united states, he s been the same man who we thought he was from the beginning. to expect him to display that level of courage is fool hearted, that s first. the second thing is, we ve seen this before, there s been a generation before us, who have seen our leaders taken away from us. whether you re talking about king or malcolm x, rfk our jfk. we ve seen what happens when the level of rhetoric reaches a boiling point. my father is 74 years old now,
