Cannot get an attorney. You cannot get nobody to help you. Host any suggestions for the caller . Guest perhaps he can contact his local chapter of the naacp. I do not know about the intricacies of the case. But i do think that if there are some legitimate concerns, there must be some way to adjust them. Host let us go to cheryl in california. Cheryl, good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call. Senator johnson, it is a pleasure to speak with you this morning. I just want to make the comment you know, i was a little girl when the Civil Rights Movement was going on. I remember my parents would go to louisiana to visit my grandparents. I remember experiencing racism in its ugliest form when we, as little kids, were stopped at a gas station. We needed to use the bathroom. We went running because we had to use the bathroom and my father was told that we cannot use the bathroom because of segregation.

Ontario, oregon, you are up next. Caller it has been refreshing to hear dr. Carsons comments. I believe people need to be accountable for their own actions. As long as people worship obama and al sharpton as idols instead of jesus christ, and with the purpose was, everybody was created equal, we need to take a good strong look at dr.

That is how we can look at that doubt youre describing. It already works very well i
Focusing on racism and the impact on communities. This is one hour. Good afternoon, and welcome to the city club of cleveland. I am a junior at hawkins school. Thank you very much for coming to see our panelists today. The goal of the council is identical to the city club. It is to host conversations, debates, and discussions that empower us to further understand the world around us and the people that comprise it. I am pleased to introduce our form entitled a conversation on race. As i want freedom just as you. In many ways freedom has been granted to races of people subjected to oppression throughout our nations history. There is a difference between freedom and liberty. Freedom being a state of being and being able to make decisions without external control perhaps being guaranteed by government. Liberty can be different.
