RUSH EXCERPT:
TAPPER: "Bakari we have you on because you're an expert and Progressive voice but I want to ask you to explain to blacksplain what -- I could have asked you, but you gave a political answer in a lot of ways. What does it mean as an African-American to see that image because I think a lot of people -- it must mean something emotional."
SELLERS: "I'm glad you asked the question because first we have to say that Democrats and Republicans alike have problems with race in this country. We can say that Republicans have more of an issue. That doesn't matter. Racism is in the fabric of the United States of America. And when you see those images, you see the KKK. And the KKK just brutalized, raped, lynched, pillaged many African-Americans not just throughout the south but across the country. White people do not understand what blackface means.”
