Van Jones became such a lightning rod with his big mouth that Valerie Jarrett had to get rid of him before he did any more damage to the president.
I go to Starbucks ... but if anyone there tries to talk to me about that ... I’m going to tell them to shut up!
Van Jones and his buddies have made racebaiting a blood sport. They can go to hell regarding Starbucks.
Is that what we really want?
Why, yes. Yes it is.
It's going to be a sorry excuse for a "conversation" if it starts with you telling me what to think, sir.
Vanguard of Communism Jones needs to go help Cuber achieve the zenith of its revolution.
“racial justice activists”
much easier and less effort to say race hustlers....
The whole thing is just an Orwellian, One Minute Hate with whitey on the receiving end of every single rant the grievance industry can conceive.
gimme a black coffee with some white power!
Coffee? I can easily do without it, actually, I never drink it.
Mr. Jones, how can you expect to be taken seriously when your ideology—Marxism—requires you to lie?
The obvious answer to the problem is find an ideology very different from the one you currently support.
Not this current administration, POS, race-baiting-puppet again.
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket. In the work here to be executed, the best effects may be produced by this maxim, and with peculiar facility. An extensive republic made up of lesser republics necessarily contains various sorts of people, distinguished by local and other interests and prejudices.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

This is probably my last interview about the past. I really do want to remind people that I’m not Paris Hilton. The only reason people cared about me in the first place, before some people made an issue of every dumb thing I ever said or supposedly said, was that I’m a guy with some solutions and some passion for them. That hasn’t changed. - Van Jones

Staying relevant, eh bro?
Are the companies that do DNA genome testing going to start talking to me about coffee?
Race is a liberal proxy for ideology.
In October 1988, Nobel poet Tony Morrison wrote an article in the New Yorker titled “Clinton as the first black president”, saying he was “Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime.” What then is “black”?
When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, then what is “black”?
On September 15, 2014, talk show host Sean Hannity interviewed Barack Obama’s half brother, Mark Obama Ndesandjo about his new book. While Ndesandjo’s father was Barack Obama, Sr., he has a different mother, Ruth (Baker) Ndesandjo, an American Jew from Boston. Ruth, like Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunam, was Caucasian.
During the course of the interview, Mark Ndesandjo said that he thought Barack Obama was ashamed of Mark’s “whiteness” and that maybe Barack was a little bit ashamed of his “blackness”.
It should be more than clear now that race has become a liberal proxy for ideology. When liberals assume that anyone who is conservative Christian is “white” and everyone else is “of color” or “black”, they can then put on the mantle of moral righteousness. When a person objects to this meme, it must be “racism”. Of course, that is a lie.
Van, who is this “we” who needs to do some “tamping down” and how exactly is this this “tamping down” going to occur? I don’t suppose you’re trying to send a signal to the Obama-lapdog-media that they need to suppress the story regarding almost universal ridicule being heaped on SBUX? If so, I guess you can suppress that story for Ma and Pa Kettle who get their “news” only from the alphabet nightly propaganda outlets and the drones who get their putative “news” from NPR, but good luck with suppressing social media and the rest of the Internet, because that’s where the real story is happening.
Innovative solutions?
"Communism Now, Comrades" is not an innovative solution.
Sorry.
If I went to Starmucks, I would order my coffee black and bitter.
Liberals idea of ‘discussion’ is that we whites feel guilty and apologize for things we never did, any other talk about race is considered whites harassing non-whites, especially in the work place.
