american sports history. specifically, we're going to explore what i like to call the return of the great white hope in the 1980s. you know all about the original great white hope. you did research on the original great white hope. jim jeffreys in 1910 comes out of retirement and tries to redeem the white race and defeat jack johnson in the ring in reno. you know he was unsuccessful. he failed. well, in the 1980s, there emerged a few white athletes who were thought of somewhat in the same way. these were white athletes that white americans hoped would score symbolic victories in sports and the attitudes towards these athlete s suggested that perhaps the nation had not come as far as many people like to think with regards to race. perhaps racial issues had not gone away. the united states may have entered what commentators were calling the post-civil rights era. the 1970s, 1980s. this is the post-civil rights era but, clearly, race was still meaningful. clearly racial anxiety still existed. and so to illustrat

therein lies the spirit of tolerance embraced by the american people. when the war ended and japan was a nation in burnt out ruins, as far as the eye could see, suffering under abject poverty, it was the united states and its good people that instinctively sent food to eat and clothes to wear. the japanese people managed to survive and make their way toward the future, thanks to the sweaters and milk from the american people. it was the united states who opened up the path for japan to return to the international community once more after the war. under the leadership of the united states, japan as a member of the free world was able to enjoy peace and prosperity. the goodwill and the assistance that you sent to the japanese, the enemy you had fought so fiercely, together with the tremendous spirit of tolerance were etched deeply into the hearts and the minds of our grandfathers and mothers. we also remember them, our children and grandchildren, will continue to pass these memories down and never forget what you did for us. the words pass through my min

in congress to me since the american revolution only fractured the anglo-american polity. reflects perception of community. we exercise our moral responsibility within circles we feel connected to. i was surprised in the wake of a war of separation. americans and britain felt morally invested in the welfare of people who were illegal strangers. if you are familiar with the literature on the rise of humanitarianism, you may be wondering why i found caring for strangers surprising. scholars have exploded the expansion of moral latensibility in the 18th and early 19 centuries were focused on the anti-slavery movement. it the rise of the anti-slavery movement along with the burgeoning of other charitable and reform causes was economic. he rise of capitalism, argument has gone, gave rise to humanitarianism. they thought to train the lower sorts for industrial economy for and since, the reform institutions worked similarly to factories and the well off generally rethought to make class. another argument has been that at gave rise to more responsibly. they realize they could have

there have been two important treaties, the 1997 inter-american seven inter-american convention against illicit manufacturing and trafficking of firearms and ammunition explosives and other related materials. twenty-two latin american and caribbean countries have ratified the u.s. signed in 1997 it was sent to the senate and it has been sitting there. you also also have the un arms trade treaty of april 2013, 20 hemisphere countries have signed that. in that treaty he pertains to trading conventional arms from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft, warships, and entered into force on december 24, 2014. the u.s. signed but again the senate has done nothing. drugs are problem and one initiative of many countries in the region, including the u.s. is to find ways for non- incarceration treatment of people who just used drugs. including the oas itself has had a project. i think morning to be done hemisphere clean in terms of exploring that initiative in the u.s. needs to do more with respect to the demand side of drugs. in terms of migration, there has been some good initiatives alread

american exceptionalism is a recognition is an acceptance of american founding being a truth claim of human dignity. margaret thatcher used to say every european country is a product of history. and the american founding is a claim that rights come to us from god via nature and government is a shared project to secure those rights. government isn't the author or the source of our rights. government is an important secular tool but rights predate government and government is a claim about human dignity. when you look at human history there have been flirtations with the idea. they have talked about commonality but by and large people have assumed the world's a broken and dangerous place. you need government to protect it and provide stability. whoever has the stability, the monopoly when we find an ordered world, we should be grateful for them. we should sit back. the assumption has been government came first, power came first and the power full out of their beneficence granted rights to the people. we should secure the rights together as a people. now we get to, i'll stop here, but we

but the american people thought otherwise. so we're going to have to work with you. >> republicans have strongly rejected charges that race played a role in their opposition. >> i, like a lot of americans, am concerned and disagree with the president's policies and approaches from the stimulus spending to this health care strategy. am i racist because i disagree with that? i don't think so. >> there are people who dislike me because they think i'm a liberal. >> the president doesn't see racism in mainstream opposition to him. but he does see it on the fringes. >> i think there's a reason why attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states. so you know, are there folks who, whose primary concern about me has been that i seem foreign? the other? are those who champion the birther movement. feeding off of bias? absolutely. >> the fact is if he wasn't born in this country, he shouldn't be president of the united states. >> the loudest voice in the birther movement has

not all americans swallowed the new deal line whole. but most of them did identify powerfully and intimately with roosevelt. as part of the process of identification, they began to adopt a rhetoric ever rights and freedom and adapted to their own lives. now propaganda and war agency learned that the most effective appeals were those that personalized government messages, while down playing the overtly ideological statements. the most common strategy used to accomplish this was a rhetorical approach that the lift orran george roder has termed the homefront analogy. this was the point of devaluation of every conceivable aspect of civilian life according to the contribution to the war effort. most often by tracing the battle front consequences of ordinary decisions at home. and this rhetorical universe, defense workers were mo proeted to production and home gardens became victory gardens and young women willing to socialize with soldiers were called victory girls. roosevelt understood the need to personalize the war and he did so recentles

they were still an american colony. he was going to oversee the military transition of the philippines. so macarthur became a field marshal, so his entire career has been centered on asia. macarthur had a habit, and among theater commanders to think of their theater is the whole war. during world war ii macarthur continually look at the roosevelt administration, george marshall, we need to focus on the pacific. this is where the war could be won or lost. roosevelt how to turn him out. but macarthur never changed his mind. during the cold war he would say the rebuilding of japan with china and then after the korean war broke out the conflict in korea this is where the cold war will be won or lost. >> is very interesting, i wonder if you took a minute to talk a little bit about the strength of your book is when you talk about the personality of these two people. and you see it in a balanced way so you don't see one of these guys is a hero and you have two very strong personalities coming together. one of the quotes you ha

there is a consequence of a withdrawal of american activity. the people we call enemies will at some point become part of the community of nations. this is a thoroughly misguided interpretation of world affairs and has become part of what the obama doctrine is. if you believe the idea that iran can be a stable nation, then you are overlooking the fact that this is a state sponsor of terrorism around the world. char require want to point out the role of the media in all of this. donald trump went to ohio university toed a knowledge what happened to the victims and help the first responders. i read a piece that said this attack was one of the least covered jihadist attacks only american soil. what is going on when you have something that's clearly not just newsworthy, but should serve as a warning for the american public and the malls media drops it. >> the mass media dismisses them as outliers, as lone wolves. this no such thing as a sloan wolf. there is no doubt what you have here and what's at play here is of course the media complicit in this

they all giggle and say, this is the americans and decadence, need americans. all they can do is dance and listen to this absurd sort of music. once they get a taste of the real japanese martial spirit, they will cave in. and it's a common misperception of democracies held not just by the japanese but others as well. and then there were more idiotic misconceptions on both sides. i think on the japanese side, some people really believed that americans couldn't shoot straight because their noses were too big. they couldn't look past their noses. at the same time in america, there were ideas of the japanese that because of their oriental mongol eyes, they couldn't shoot straight and so on. the stupidity of people is usually boundless. japan-41 was maybe not the topic of your breakfast conversation, but you will talk about it at dinner. i want to thank you folks for being with us. our wonderful hesitation.
