Van Jones: Media ‘Only’ Care ‘About a Black Kid Getting Killed if a White Cop Does It or a White Supremacist Does’
Breitbart ^ | 02/17/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 02/17/2024 7:45:45 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones stated that while it’s untrue that “the black community only cares about a black kid getting killed if a white cop does it or a white supremacist does it,” it is true that “The media only cares” about black children being killed if a white police officer or a racist white person is the killer.

Host Bill Maher began the discussion by stating, “We do know that, for young black men, gun homicides are the leading cause of death. And…that leading cause outstrips the next 15 causes combined. That’s how bad it is. Also, black men ages 18 to 25 die from gun homicides at a rate nearly 19 times that of white young men the same age. And they’re not being killed by white supremacists, they’re being killed by each other, that is the truth.”

Jones responded, “Absolutely.”

And, from the start it has been Aholes like Jones who has defined what a white supreme is. He is a race baiter/hustler and should get the same attention as CNN.

He’s right and there’s a reason for that. How many headlines read, “The Sun Rose in the East This Morning”?

Just curious but just how many blacks in the USA have been murdered by genuine “White Supremacists” in the last twenty years. How many blacks murdered by other blacks?

The new show to be produced called “Liberals Suffering Temporary Moments of Sanity”.
Sponsored by the time tested drug called Reality.

***Next on the menu is gun control.****

Why not just return to the Dred Scott Decision of 1857 in which Citizens had “the right to keep and carry arms wherever they went.” but blacks were declared not to be citizens so had no rights.

He really wants to open a can of worms!

I’d like to see Van’s tally of white supremist killings of black children. I recall it happening in Mississippi sixty years ago. I know of absolutely none occurring this century.

It seems that the propaganda media’s definition of a white supremacist or a racist is anyone to believes that we should try to MAGA.

The black community could probably solve half the cases tomorrow if their culture didn’t discourage witness testimony. If they didn’t rely on street justice or violence when they get disrespected.

Hey jones- care to take a guess at how many unarmed black people were killed by cops u justifiably in 2019?

I’ll give you a hint: it was TWO! and the cops were arrested, tried and convicted in both those cases.

But you are Right, the media only cares when a black man is killed by anyone who is white. Th3 left and the media only care bout keeping racism alive and thriving- he only problem for your side is that it is not white on black racism that is causing the issues, it is black,on white racism that is keeping racism alive.
