I dream of a day when race baiters will be more interested in the content of our character than the color of our skin. At this rate, we’ve got a long wait.
Van Jones — you have NO Chill.
None at all.
Former Obama administration “green jobs czar” Van Jones gave a very blunt, racially-tinged reaction to the impending victory of Donald Trump during CNN’s Election Night coverage: “It’s hard to be a parent, tonight, for a lot of us. You tell your kids, don’t be a bully. You tell your kids, don’t be a bigot….And then, you have this outcome….how do I explain this to my children?” Jones later asserted, “This was a ‘white-lash.’ This was a ‘white-lash’ against a changing country. It was a ‘white-lash’ against a black president, in part.”
The CNN commentator first congratulated Trump supporters Jeffrey Lord (who is also a writer for NewsBusters) and Kayleigh McEnany: “I have enough class, and I was raised well enough to say, when you outdo expectations, good for you.” He continued by setting up his raw take on the election: “There’s another side to this: people have talked about a miracle. I’m hearing about a nightmare.” — NewsBusters
Thank you for your ‘deep’ and ‘insightful’ commentary.
Now that we’ve learned what we have about Donna Brazile and Wolf Blitzer by way of Wikileaks, it is understandable that you have found a welcome home on CNN to share your ‘wisdom’.
We have a reply for you, Mr. Jones, appropriate to your contribution to the public conversation on race:
