Ridgewood NJ, CNN’s Van Jones argued Friday during an analysis on racial tensions that a “white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park” can pose a more insidious threat to African Americans than openly racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan…..OUCH!
Jones was referring to Amy Cooper, a New York City white woman who called the police on a black man in New York’s Central Park on Monday after he asked that she put her dog on a leash.
Film of the exchange and subsequent call to police went viral, with Cooper repeatedly referring to the man’s race while falsely saying she was being threatened.
“It’s not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about. It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, ‘Oh I don’t see race, race is no big deal to me, I see all people the same, I give to charities,’ but the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect, or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation,” Jones said.
“A klansmember could not have been better trained to pick up her phone and tell the police it’s a black man.”
“What you’re seeing now is a curtain falling away,” Jones later added. “Those of us who have been burdened by this every minute, every second of our entire lives are fragile right now. We are tired.”
Cooper was fired by her employer, Franklin Templeton, on Tuesday and has since issued an apology.
Very true ,do not worry about the KKK, We have small little towns all around us that are very very racial .
I don’t need to mention the towns name most of us know who and where they are. Right next-door to the great village of Ridgewood. And they don’t like it because that little town is changing real fast they lost control of it.
Yes that’s so true. It’s been like that for a long long time. You know your history.
Oh you’re talking about the hypocrites in a little town. I don’t want to mention the towns name because that may be slandering them. I’m not sure what the Laws regarding that. But everyone knows. The cats out of the bag about time.
I love it. They’re not doing it God’s way unless they’re brainwashed.
Jones, as ususal, is wrong.
.
This “white liberal Hillary Clinton Supporter” (which BTW is a phrase dripping with racism, sexism and predjusdice) is not necessarily a “racist”, she is a jackass who would “weaponize” the police against ANYONE of any race or sex who she does not respect, or who she has a slight thought against.
.
Jones is a Race baiter, seeing everything through the prism of race.
He is an ass and if you take his rhetoric as logic, well, then you are at best lazy and at worst no better than Jones or the “white liberal Hillary Clinton Supporter”.
