re: ABC: Mary Matalin just called out Van Jones on his race baiting

She said you have no justification saying this as a Yale educated black man, who authors books and served as the highest levels of govt. How do you not admit the leaps blacks have made in this country?

His response was "How dare you say that to my face?"

Not accurate. She told him that he should be a racial reconciler instead of a racial polemicist. That's what made Jones say that she should be ashamed to say that to his face, taking issue with the dismissal of his efforts at racial reconciliation.

I think it is silly the way people have problems with Van Jones. He said race was a part of the election, specifically mentioning the alt-right as marbled through the right-wing populist revolt. Many people who self-identify as "alt-right" openly admit this. There are posters on this board who seemingly admit this.

Now, I think economics was a bigger part than the race part. Many people are struggling financially and it seems that Donald's populist message and business braggadocio appealed to a lot of these people. It also seems that some people who voted for Donald lied to pollsters.
