Why don't you stop making it race based. All communities with all races have histories of being polluted.
Why don't you recognize that they are more poor white people in this country than there are of all blacks combined?
So, if making things racial is acceptable, I'll step out on a limb and say poverty is a white issue as there are more whites in poverty than any other group in this Country.
The topic is Van Jones soon leaving the White House in total disgrace.
Is that right? I thought the topic was Castro, school children, mid-day soap operas, and what Dick Cheney can do for a cocktail party. What a jokester that Cheney!
Actually, there are tons of examples of minority communities targeted. Just think about it - you need somewhere to dump toxins. You going to go to the suburbs where people have wealth and power or the neighborhood where they don't have the resources and connections to fight back?
Why is it so important to conservatives to believe that we all create our own problems? Poor people have massive hurdles that the rest of us don't even know exist. A little sympathy would do us all good.
I'm not for sure one way or the other, but the fact that Van Jones is on the defensive is a clear sign that something might be amiss.
His statements with regard to Republicans being A-holes during an interview and the fact that he somehow had it in his head that the government was behind the 9/11 attacks by signing a petition to that effect.
Quote:
The Washington Independent has turned up a six-year-old petition Jones signed alleging government complicity in the September 11 terror attacks. This comes just one day after The Hill reported the existence of a video clip recorded in February in which Jones referred to Republicans - and himself - as "a**holes."
The White House doesn't like controversy ... any controversy .. Obama tries to distance himself from the perceived foolishness of others.
If this sort of thing continues, I can see Obama asking Van Jones to step down.
