Van Jones Damn, damn, damn

[ronmch20]

All they had to do to co-opt Van Jones was to give him his own TV show. I'm listening him tell Trevor Noah that he doesn't want to further polarize the country by bashing Trump.
Noah is looking at him with a what the fuck look on his face. Unfortunately coonery from Jones is likely to increase.
Stupid fucker doesn't realize that as soon as he's lost all creditability with black people CNN will pull the plug.
Jones has turned into the kind of grinnin' Nigga I abhor.

 

[Z MONSTER]

Man I just turned from this shit.

He's in survival mode lmaoo

Man I just turned from this shit.

Y'all just realizing this? I knew the melanin was removed from his skin and his Black soul evaporated once he said "He became our president" after don's speech a week or so ago

Van Jones has been like that for a while though. He's always been relatively "reasonable". He'll still give it to Trump but he's not about just being relentless with his followers.

I wouldn't go that far. Van Jones just tries to be "impartial" in a media world where lots of people are clearly partial and clearly partisan on every issue.

What did you expect, it's the 8th and his rent's late

 

[KA$H]

I knew after his "Trump is now Presidential" speech that he was on his "Get Out". His in-laws probably had to reprogram him after his election night outcry.

Van, shouldn't you be focused on your show? It's disrespectful to be on the phone when you have guests.

Naw man. I've seen Van Jones torch the GOP, alt-right, etc... what he trying to do is be "compassionate" where he's trying to address issues from a non-partisan lens. I see the angle he's playing.

It's the gift and curse of most democrats.

He's playing that Obama lane. It's not the angle I would take but I'm not going to call him a coon.

I feel you

 

[yureeka9]

I keep saying it. As long as you can throw money at a nigga black people aren't gonna move forward one inch. This is why I look a mofos with the side eye when some fool does something trifling for money and all people can say is "get that money!" Its pathetic...

Agreed... you can see it in the way he talked those InfoWars fuckers off the ledge in that video recently.... he's trying to live in the reasoned discourse lane... haven't watched this Daily Show clip yet but I bet it's consistent with this approach as well

Motherfuckas want Malcolm X on cnn ....gtfoh!

People got bills mortgage, car payments, private schools that rah, rah shit ain't for everyday and it ain't for those who want
to keep getting a paycheck and not be blacklisted from their profession.

Ya'll act like he can't be black and still do his job. Ya'll act like the news is real That's how trump is winning he say shit that's really
the sideways truth, he don't really care he just know it gets people excited, then he sit back and be a piece of shit while everyone is all over
what he said.

Start listening with your third eye...not your kneejerk!

 

[mcguyver]

Nothing new. He was on that bullshit since he did that special on cacs who voted for trump.

 

[Mr. Met]

Just remember who Van goes home to. He's been breached and he won't be the last.

@23:30.

i don't agree ...he is definitely not impartial, he hates trump. I thought he explained why he said what he said pretty well. He's dad was in the military i get it. Hell he even admitted he has in-laws he can't even talk to. That has to be a tough spot to be in. Now Trevor was dropping some real jewels imo, that's a smart brother.

Yeah I think people thought Van Jones was something he wasn't. Like you say the was "reasonable". He was tougher and more outspoken then most on CNN. That's about where it stops.

Van Jones is either a defeated man or hes playing a long game.. Keep in mind this guy was a lower level Obama administration czar who was run off the gig for calling repugs assholes and for questioning 911. Now he sits and watches as the country votes in a racist moron who appoints certified white supremacist to HIGH level appointments with security clearance.. Hes also a pretty smart cat. So i wouldnt be surprised if ultimately he was running a long con.

Van Jones is still killing people (off CNN). I think his long con is that he's going to actually going to run for office.
He actually gets at Trump. However, he's always been "reasonable" with Trump supporters as he's always discussed the economic problems that do exist while he also recognizing the racism. His argument has always been that it's not all racism that's driving this.

Yea. Hes always been diplomatic and made it a point to be (overly) even handed.. But he does call out the bullshit often. He just also seems far too willing to give benefit of the doubt when those he gives it to continuously prove they hadnt earned nor deserve it. I think ultimately he sincerely believes he can appeal to the common ground and humanity of the depraved cac.. Thats a flawed line of thought imo that often comes with marrying one and having half your family be of that class of people.. But as i said earlier, hes a sharp brother so theres also a very distinct chance its political theater with purpose..

Kind of reminds me of what Obama does sometimes.

 

[durham]

Guess I dont feel too bad that Obama dumped him. Jones has taken the money and ran. Shit he has to afford that wife and kids I guess.

Can't ride with all Black folks, and this motherfucker chose Trump

 

[Dr. Truth]

His wife is white so.

 

[kesq]

He was a bitch when he said "he became president.....", but he was a bigger bitch when he let Lewandowski punk him on election night. He set us all back that night, Fam. Even Samantha Bee made a comment about it.

You cats will have a hard time convincing me that he is "reasonable" or whatever other rationalization might fit him. He is what he is.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Based on similar reasoning....

 

[sahusahir]

Obama was like that for 8 years, didn't want to ruffle them white feathers. now u mad at this irrelevant bowtie wearing nigga whose name i didn't even know.

 

[Sampson]

Isn't this the same guy who said Michelle Obama wasn't "classically beautiful"? And y'all are shocked?

Van Jones is legit. It's easy to say how different and militant you would be when you're posting on BGOL from your la-z-boy
