The latest from self avowed communist revolutionary and all around bon vivant, Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar”, Van Jones.
“You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school.”
One would think in the universe inhabited by Van Jones, that universe where “white polluters” haul semi trucks load of toxic waste into neighborhoods occupied by “people of color”, where killing cops is a matter of civic duty, and where adhering to a political philosophy responsible for, conservatively, 100 million deaths is a logical response to LA police beating a PCP addled motorist, that some subjects would be beyond The Pale, to use that, I’m sure, racially insensitive term. Making light of school kids, regardless of their race or ethnicity, being gunned down in cold blood should probably be one of those subjects.
But a person possessing what would be thought of as a normal sense of decency would be wrong in this regard.
Ever eager to point out whitey’s misfeasance and malfeasance Van Jones thinks that school shootings say something, though heaven knows what, about white kids.
Now his statement is true as far as it goes. On the other hand this seems like a rather technical point and something of a cold comfort considering homicide is the leading cause of death among African Americans of school age and shooting up a school one kid at a time doesn’t strike me as something worth bragging about.

The blase way he talks about black kids killing each other...
JadedByPolitics Friday, September 4th at 10:05PM EDT (link)is fairly sickening in and of itself. That he would use Columbine to make a point is pretty pathetic but I think the part that disturbed me the most was the acceptance of normal in the killing of blacks on blacks as if that is just like eating breakfast everyday. It is that acceptance within the elites in the black community that stops them from having a voice of control to stop the madness……very sickening.

JadedByPolitics Saturday, September 5th at 3:51PM EDT (link)I was watching about gangs on some channel last night and they were discussing how Tookie Williams creator of the Crips wrote a book about how bad the Crips were and received an award for his book and it was the black police Chief of that time who was incredulous that a man in prison with nothing left to lose “suddenly” sees the light of day and condemns what he has done. He didn’t have that revelation while creating a death cult nor when killing hundreds in the name of “turf” no its when is going to be put to death and has nothing. That Chief was also sickened that it was an award that Martin Luther King had received for doing something when EVERYTHING was on the line.
Liberal PC’ism is killing inner city children daily and because there is a VOTE involved in continuing the slaughter nothing is done. Whites nor anyone else can be blamed for this American SHAME only the individual adults in those communities have themselves to blame and people like Van Jones better recognize that there is a better way a Conservative way an ADULT way to handle these issue’s. It will only be when they accept responsibility and stop blaming everyone else that their lives will TRULY change!

There's no money or turf in schools
archer52 Friday, September 4th at 11:50PM EDT (link)Young blacks kill each other over money or turf. The “statement” they make are more personal in nature. As in shooting someone over being disrespected, or over a money dispute. They see no reason to shoot up a school. They will shoot while at school, but not because of the school. There is a difference.
Now they may shoot ten people, but it will be because somebody screwed somebody else over.
As far as John Allen Muhammad. I always felt he was the classic example of a small level terrorist attack that the FBI always refuses to admit as one. As was the attack in Arkansas and the attack on the Jewish Center in Seattle. All the denials were part of the PC agenda of the Bush administration, who wanted to avoid an internal conflict with Muslims while hammering them in the Middle East. Whether it was the right thing to do, only history will tell.
Sadly, the die is cast and now, short of a group of terrorists running into a mall blasting away while playing Allah is Great music on a boom box (ala the helicopter scene in Apocalypse now- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3Cc7wlfkI&feature=related) you will get the typical press release saying it was a “lone gunman.” And even though the names will be Achmed, Muhammad, Ali, Aariz, Abdul, and Habib, the media and Obama will refuse to admit it had anything to do with radical Islam.
It is a crazy PC world.

After all Clinton, George Bush, father and son, Reagan sent addressed school schildren….. The messages, of course, were different but after seeing this Van Horn character and the rest of the so-called advisors to Obama, that he keeps close to him; the obvious must be stated.
The American public does not trust Obama. He clearly has an agenda that he wants to keep hidden from the public until it is a ‘done deal’. Clearly he surrounds himself with extremists and I’m sure Van Horn is just the tip of the iceberg.
We should all remember what his wife stated during the campaign. .. it was ‘the first time she was proud of the US’. It coincides with the crap this Van Horn espouses…based on lies and rewritten history.
Why would the American public trust a man that would seek out such ‘ garbage? Because he agrees with him.

research conclusively proves that fatherlessness
Warrior Saturday, September 5th at 3:37PM EDT (link)is the main reason so many black children end up in prison, on drugs, out of school, unemployed and dead at an early age.
And they are fatherless, for the most part, because the liberal welfare system rewards illigitimacy. Why such a misguided ploicy? It’s simple: Governemt dependents = loyal liberal Democrats.
And before anyone accuses me of being racist, let’s look at the way it was handled in the 50’s for any race:
I was born in a home for unwed mothers. (That’s right, I’m a true bastard, LOL!)Anyway, my mother was expected to stay there (without benefit of male companionship) if she expected to get any state sponsored help. In my case, I was soon placed in foster care and became available for adoption. She left the home sadder, but wiser.
Such a system DISCOURAGES teen moms from having children out of wedlock. And guess what? The illigitimacy, murder, drug abuse and drop out rates for blacks at the time were either declining, roughly equal to or LESS THAN that of whites. (see Thomas Sowell’s, “Vision of the Annointed”)
Indeed, this is not just a black problem . Unbelievably, not only are 70% of black children illigitimate now, approximately 47% of Hispanic and 30% of white children are as well. Forget about immigration. Forget about terrorism. Forget about debt. When enough children are born to single mothers living at gubmint expense, any pretext of a free society characterized by personal responsibility and independent moral action will be long gone.
This is exactly how we got the Obomination who appointed such an obscene racist as Van Jones.

mom2oneson Sunday, September 6th at 10:25AM EDT (link)Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Your mother was a brave young woman.
First I know the statistics but I think the fatherlessness is a consequence of something else that could contributes towards the drugs, crime, etc. For a long time widows raised boys alone and there was no discussion how doomed their boys were. I know the hardship of single parent families but I think the opportunity arises for the boys to be become highly responsible for their age. I think women could highly reduce the crime rate re above by refusing to raise a thug.
I think what your saying is horrible, that government aid should be dependent upon a parent relinguishing parental rights or even seperating from their child.
If we are going to have gov aid though, it should not be dependent on a mother and child seperating, and I think assisting a family to remain intact should be way above on the list before a lot of other stuff the gov spends on, like all the help we give to juv and adult criminals, public schools, foreign aid/food, housing down payments, rural housing loans, tv converters lol, phone subsidies for the poor, birth control at health departments, gov science and art grants, financial aid for college, flood insurance, grants to college, just about everything. The family togetherness is so essential to everything else in society and children are safest with their mothers.
mom21son, I think you misread
Warrior Sunday, September 6th at 5:24PM EDT (link)my comment or I wasn’t being very clear. I sometimes assume people follow my logic and know the current state of affairs when they don’t. This may be such a case. It’s my fault — you know what they say about assumptions.
Let me try again. In my bio-mom’s day, mothers were expected to work their way out of homes for unwed mothers if they expected to receive any type of help from the state. It just happened to be that in my case, my bio-mom made me available for adoption.
Since she was an impecunious, depressive, schizophrenic, alcoholic, I am quite thankful she did. It was the most selfless thing she could have done. I will forever be grateful to her and to God for giving me the opportunity to grow up in a middle-class home where I was loved and raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord. I most certainly was not advocating forced removal of children from their mothers. That’s what Planned Parenthood does, only before the child is born.
As for the rest, I agree completely. I think a progressive assistance program to ENCOURAGE intact families is the way to go. Childcare, housing assistance, college tuition and anything else necessary to help people get on (or back on) their feet would be the most beneficial to all concerned. And it probably wouldn’t cost much more than the programs we have now.
My goal is to end multi-generational gubmint dependency and disincentivize unwed motherhood. If you know of better ways to accomplish this without rewarding teen mothers with apartments and older mothers with bigger checks I’d like to hear it. And don’t tell me it doesn’t happen or it’s not the norm.
Having been a mental health provider for DHR, a drug abuse counselor at a large urban public hospital and a case manager at two community mental health centers, I know from whence I speak. You may think we’re “helping” poor women by keeping them addicted to the welfare teat, but in actuality, it’s the worst kind of slavery anyone in this country can endure.
And many of them are so engaged in the system, just as their mothers were, they don’t even know there is a life beyond constant interactions with gubmint bureaucracies, case workers and police; routinely feeling shameful, worthless and despondent; and seeing no future but the endless nurturing of indignant grievances and blame shifting in order to sustain the fiction that someone else is to blame for their plight.
Please don’t try to tell me differently. I’ve sat in too many counseling sessions, too many drug rehab groups and too many jailhouse visiting rooms listening to the pleas and stories of these poor, tortured women. I can’t stand to see them kept in this sorrowful predicament due to the perverse machinations of professional race-baiters and class-warfare agitators bent on inducing a false sense of aggrieved entitlement, just so a bunch of elitists can always count on their vote in the next election.
And it goes for white women as well. I served in one of the poorest counties in our poor southern state and an adult dependent’s color matters not. What matters is self-respect, a feeling of accomplishment and the human dignity of being able to support oneself and one’s children without an endless hand out.
