  • Efforts to ban books at American libraries and schools have skyrocketed. Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D), who joined nine Democratic governors in a letter calling on book publishers not to censor books, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss. “Our history is our strength. You've got to be able to understand where we’re coming from to get an understanding of where we are going.” Commenting on Senator Tim Scott’s comments on The View about why he thinks America is not systematically racist, Moore said, “While I understand his point, his thesis is not true.” He added, “If we're not willing to acknowledge our past, we're not gonna be able to have a productive conversation about the future. There are measures of intentionality that have created the type of social systems that we exist in to this day.”

      Poor Tim he is a good example of what happens when you denie truth, and prefer tramps alternative universe.
      Tim is playing a game that he will not win, because he denies truth about America history,
      Tim is just not an honest broker of facts and truth, he's lying when he says systematic racism does not exist in America is like saying January 6, didn't happen, tramps followers didn't break into the Capital building, vandolized, trashed, peed on the walls, spray police officers with bear spray, hit officers with flag poles, chanted hang Mike Pence, a man sat at speaker of the house desk saying he would harm her if she had been there.
      It's like saying that same man was sentenced to 5 years or more to prison
      Several proud boys guilty of sedition conspiracy sentenced to 20 yrs in prison , oath keepers also got 19 yrs or more
      This is what Tim is trying to to sell Americans that what we all saw on tv live didn't happen, really tim.
      Tim systemic racism bigotry is alive and kicking against all black and brown skinned people here in America.
      Tim is not honest.
      No one can denie January 6 happened just like no one can say slavery didn't exist nor systemic racism doesn't exist in America, yes in America systemic racism and bigotry lives in America.

    I am also one of those people that had never heard about the Tulsa massacre until a few years ago. And I was shocked, dismayed, disgusted, (and everything in between) about everything that happened. But... it is our history... and needs to be taught lest it happen again (and some would argue that aspects of it continue to happen to this day). We need to learn from ALL of our history.

      Geoff: As Moore points out, the hateful past doesn't have to be the hateful future. Unfortunately, some Americans want a return in the future to the hateful past. One way to achieve that is by hiding the hateful past. They see, for example, nothing wrong in leaving Chinese workers out of the photo of driving the golden spike at the end of the construction of the transcontinental railway, though Chinese workers did a huge part of the work of building it. That's one example (along with the Tulsa massacre) that I learned nothing about in the history classes at the prestigious prep school I was able to attend on a scholarship. I doubt the teachers knew about those matters, or else they could have supplemented the textbooks. Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump and their supporters want to keep children in the dark, just like everyone back in the 60's was kept in the dark about those matters in the 1960's. They think that is a good thing.
      I like the fact that Moore gives no credence or even mention to the specifics of the racial beliefs in the nation that don't conform to "all men are created equal". However, surely he knows that there is a surprisingly large segment of the population that starts with the premise, "Of course, there's a wealth gap. Average people of color are by nature lazy and wealth depends on how much money you can generate through your work." They will then proceed to give you anecdotal evidence of a lazy Black man whom they've come in contact with and extrapolate from that experience that all Black men are the same, something they would never do if they encountered a lazy White man, like, for example, Donald Trump.

    • @drawingdead9025
      @drawingdead9025 Год назад

      Laughable. Some facts: the first slave owner in America was a black man, the last was a 'native' tribe; black people enslaved other black people in Africa long before the first white man arrived (and still do so today); the vast majority of slaves went to Central and South America, not North America

      Scott fully understands that denying systemic racism is a requirement for Republicans. He must try to spin it as reverse discrimination when White Nationalist policies of the Republican party are attacked. He attempts this by answering a previous comment, taken out of context (exceptionalism is required), and suggesting it is bigoted. You will see this ploy used frequently by Republicans. They want to obfuscate their bigotry by suggesting every comment on race originates from bigotry.

LBJ said, " I'll have those N's voting democrat for 200 years." 60 years later, still voting democrat. How's that for some "true" history? Biden said, " If you don't vote for me, you ain't black."

    All of those Texas-based textbook publishers back in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's controlled what events and topics were covered in the classroom history books (elementray through high school). Texas's traditions were well-known for being Southern and racist. Hence, the Tulsa Massacre was not covered. As a history teacher in the 1980's, sitting on a committee to choose new textbooks, I remember discussions with representatives from these publishing companies who justified "things that were not included in the textbooks" by telling us, "Historical events are so vast that the textbooks simply cannot cover everything." We teachers back then were not happy with our choices, but were forced to choose from among those publishers by our school boards. Don't blame the teachers. Literally, we were told we had to teach what was in the textbooks. Stay on curriculum. Frustrating!

    Thank you for this interview!!!
    Governor Moore exemplifies the quality of government officials that we need!
    His educational and professional background will allow him to bring many good things to the table!!
    Thoughts that came up during the interview….
    History IS harsh and we as a people have the mental capacity and the emotional fortitude to learn from it. Children NEED to learn this too.
    Sometimes the truth “feels bad” and that’s okay. “Feeling bad” gives people an opportunity to pull up their emotional boot straps, get going and growing through it. “Feeling bad” builds an empathetic society, thus moving us towards change for the good of the United States as a whole. Unity and equality should be our goal AND it shouldn’t be this hard to bring it to fruition!! African-Americans built this country, literally built and bled in the soil of his country!!
    Canceling out African-American history, African-American experiences and studies that would help us as a nation move away from subtle and overt racism thus healing the past it’s just another way to keep us chained to racism. This will NOT make America great again.
    The elephant in the room IS systemic racism.
    The elephant is becoming more and more visible. The sooner people admit that it was a practice of the past that has done and continues to do damage, the sooner we can move into a brighter future united as Americans. Denying, canceling and removing information does not make it go away, it actually make people seek it out more. The GOP are masters of cancel culture!! The truth hurts and if they don’t like the truth, if it doesn’t fit their narrative, or agenda they literally cancel it.
    The GOP screams “indoctrination”, why??Because we no longer buy their indoctrination of division and many are seeing how that’s NOT working for US. We can only build a better nation by acknowledging the mistakes of the past, uniting in order to fix the problems so we can move positively into a United future. ✌🏽🇺🇸
    Americans4unity!

    “One Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

My parents told us about it when we were young but almost no one talked about it. In 1921, my mother's best friend's father drove to Greenwood and saved their housekeeper when he heard what was about to happen. But the whole disaster was basically buried. I'd like to see reparations made in the form of the restoration of Greenwood through the demolition of I-244 that divided what was left (through federal money for restoring black neighborhoods for this very reason) and through grants and very low interest loans for small business developments. For a start.

    Sometimes it's not a bad thing to feel shame of "bad" about wrongs committed.

    Can we duplicate the brilliant mind of Governor Moore and elect that person as Iowa's governor? Please!

    Schools are where you make happiness and sadness, remembering. Children learn to work out things if adults respect their space.

    Governor Wes Moore thank you. Thank you! I do believe ignorance is a detriment to our well being. Tim Scott is a Work in Progress and living in a state of DENIAL. Yes our history is important. I grew up in the Jim Crow era in a town called Bamberg, state of South Carolina. Continue to stand strong and do what you will continue to do best. Respectfully

    Amen! Thank you!❤❤❤Thank GOD for Brave Americans that not only stand up to the liars but push those lies back into their mouths! I like Tim Scott but he is a big part of the problem… “please let me play in your sandbox and I promise not to whine” so sad.

    Simply put, Santayana said, "Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it."
    And the Republicans are like, "Hey, if we don't let them LEARN history, _WE can repeat it!"_
    Also, I am sure that the Distinguished African American Gentleman who says there's no systemic racism is smart enough that, when he is pulled over by the cops, he keeps his hands in the air the entire time.
    At least, I hope for his sake that he is.

    I don’t follow politics anymore for personal reasons. But this interview popped up in my suggestions and I placed it in my watch later a few days ago. And I’m impressed by RUclips for this but even more impressed Gov Moore. One of my favorite quotes is “A people who don’t study their history, it’s doomed to repeat itself.”

    Gov Wes Moore seems well balanced, a centrist. He believes in fighting crime while not leaving folks behind. A future president for sure
