Van Jones, a CNN commentator and former adviser to President Obama, on Monday compared the pipeline protest in Cannon Ball, North Dakota to the civil rights movement of the 1960s:

"This feels like Selma! It feels like Montgomery! It feels like a time when a group that nobody paid attention to, black folks in the South, stood up and the world stood with them, so it's a very powerful, emotional moment, I think, for the tribal communities," Jones told CNN's "New Day."

Oh sure van. Because land privately purchased being used to build a pipeline is the same as dogs and water cannons in people marching

Next time you hold a protest, make sure you've got some American Indians with you!

Poor Van Jones...

People in Selma had a righteous cause.

People trying to prevent the pipeline do not.

If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

If you are a communist black activist, everything looks like Selma

Kids love polar bears because they are white!
Black bears are hunted and killed because they are black.
There are more white cars on the road than black because of racism!
The stars twinkle in a secret code to white crackers!

To this communist asshole Van Jones, everything is about race!!!

It’s time to do away with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.

It's long past time to do away with all racial and cultural departments. It's also long past time to shame organizations like the Black Caucus out of existence.
