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

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.”

Van is just figuring out how to profit from “teens” killing each other while completely ignoring the fact that blacks embrace a rotten culture built on violence and sin.

Yeah. I’ll take that seriously when Schumer, Obama, Johnson and Pritzker lock arms and march into W. Garfield with the cops. Knocking on doors and asking for folks to give up their guns.

Fact is - they don’t care about the killing. They care about taking away Joe 6 packs weapons in red state America.

"Did hell just freeze over"

So ALL black lives do matter? People have been physically attacked, as well as shot and killed for saying that.

Opening cans of worms is what the left does. They want to undermine as much in society as they can.

After this, he will not be seen on CNN or MSNBC again ... it will be like he never existed.
