RCP Video ^ | 8-19-2014

ANDERSON COOPER: ....You said there is a lot happening behind the scenes that people aren't seeing.

VAN JONES: Yeah, absolutely. I think that this is a very sophisticated coalition that has formed behind the scenes. You see that this is the theatrics of it. Behind that, you've got young people who are very, very sophisticated. When they say, hands up, don't shoot, that's not just their slogan, that's the name of their coalition.

(snip)

JONES: What you're beginning to see now is a new generation of African-American leadership. Million Hoodies Movement, Organization For Black Struggle, Michael McBride is emerging as a voice for peace in this situation.

JONES: Absolutely. This is transforming a generation of young black activists and political leaders --

(more excerpt) JONES: This incident. Well, you have to remember all summer long you had African-American unarmed men killed all summer and when you have a summer like this, just like '92, my generation of young activists, we were totally changed in terms of our understanding of what we need to do to make the system work better for us. It's happening right now with this generation.(end excerpt)

Emphasis mine.

A name based on a lie. Nothing to be proud of, but truth is the first thing tossed overboard with these wankers.

These idiots think the kids in the country are about to join in a 1960’s style civil rights march.

He could not be further from the truth.

Van Jones and Obama were youngsters in the 60’s. By the time they were in college in the late 70’s and early 80’s there was not much stomach for protesting on college campuses across the country.

In my personal experience I can remember cases on campuses where the “hippie” kids got all worked up about one issue or another. And they could not get a decent softball team sized group to protest. No one cared. The whole “protest” thing is something their older siblings did—and it was passe by then.

And the key factor for a lot of protests in the 60s was not civil rights—it was the draft.

Even the black kids know that racism in the 2010’s is tame compared to the mid-twentieth century.

All of these civil rights leader wannabees want to be the next MLK. And aside from Obama, no black man has come close to being the next “one.”

“Very, very sophisticated.”

Not sophisticated enough to get a job or keep their pants up, but certainly sophisticated enough to heave a brick through a store window and gank a case of Colt 45.

Why not try transforming some of these guys into store owners?
Young American citizens who stay married and pay taxes.
I believe it could be done, but you have to work at it.
