These assholes still don't get it. Maybe the largest segment of the population doesn't like getting painted in a negative light for no reason whatsoever.

This. They still cannot figure out why this happened.

It was a smart and independent lash against the very race baiting division that he is sowing. The non-victim class are tired of hearing that hyperbolic crap.

I mean it was black unity when we voted for Obama. It cyclical one demographic will always be well represented when they are attracted to a nominee.

So what did he call the unheard of amount of black voters turning out to vote Obama in 2008 and 2012?

How do you explain to your kids how a presidential candidate was part of a corrupt machine that included the mainstream media? How they were involved in rigging the primaries to defeat Bernie Sanders? How they made millions of dollars on the premise of being a foundation? Tell them the American people delivered the justice!!

He is the embodiment of the subtle bigotry of lowered expectations. sad and infuriating, at once.

if i were black, he and his ilk would be persona non grata in my circle of influence.

Hopefully the black community will start (continue!) relegating his kind to true Uncle Tom status.

That's what the Van Joneses of the world are, despite the fact they reflect that status on their political enemies (and supporters of same).

It's ok that blacks, latinos, or whatever other demographic they arbitrarily select vote in block numbers for their candidates, but lord have mercy if whites have a significant turnout for a certain candidate. Must be racism! Bahhh, white people aren't voting for leftist progressivism!

That a-hole isn't even relevant anymore. He got a job on a news network because someone owed him a favor. He got run from the Odumbass campaign because he is a fricking racist. Any news Organization that is affiliated with him immediately loses credibility.

The Dawn needs to put it in today's people masking there racism with their perceived oppression

Yes, it was, but not in the way he means it.

It was a whitelash against hate-mongers like him who painted all white people as racist and waged an all out war against us for 8 freaking years.

Well, guess what, a-hole. We're not racists, and we're not gonna sit and take it any more. We're also not gonna sit back and listen to jackasses like you run down this great country at every opportunity.

There's nothing wrong with a people standing up for themselves, and people like Van Jones are indeed trying to diminish the influence of white people.

They don't get it. We don't want to be superior. We want equality just like everyone else, but we don't want to be the scapegoat of problems we did not create.

True. Jones is usually spot on. Given the squeaker win in Florida and the increasing Latino demographic...this may be the last win for a Right wing POTUS.

They had better stack that Court with Constitutionalists, clean out the Bureaucracy re lawless Prog Operatives and enact a REAL and fair Immigration policy. Starting with a secure Border, so that when we throw the Gang bangers out, they don't come back.
