Van Jones: There Are Jobs in the Black Community, But ‘They’re Crappy’
Breitbart ^ | 01/23/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 01/23/2024 5:56:32 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones stated that while there are good jobs numbers in the black community, “they’re crappy jobs.”

Co-host Phil Mattingly asked, “[T]he Biden team has constantly tried to make the pitch on the economy that, look, if you look at the topline numbers, it’s great, it’s defying all expectations and people responding to pollsters say, no, it’s not, not at all. We completely disagree. Although, in the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen a shift in consumer sentiment. The University of Michigan survey popped 13 points in January. That was very unexpected. You saw the Dow hit a new record. You’ve spoken rather eloquently about the issues here that they face on the economy. Do you think things are turning?”

Maybe they should burn down all the businesses in their "community" -- again.

Make school voluntary. I think they’d feel left out and want to join in. Parents need the schools as daycare and don’t know what’s going on.

Don't worry Van. Those "crappy" jobs will be gobbled up by all the illegals in the country soon.

All the goobment goodies you used to get in the hood will be gobbled up too.

Perhaps then its the Black Community’s fault they are crappy. Perhaps they need to do better. Maybe the black community needs to step up.

So... CNN Political Commentator Van Jones is saying his job at CNN is a “crappy job”? He’s black and working for CNN in New York City.

Always wanting everything handed to them on a silver platter.

I lost count of all the crappy jobs I did on my way up. I still work at a crappy job, but do it to pay my bills!!!

The only joy I get is working in a position where I get to see these types in old age. They’re poorer than shit and now have no family or friends. They’re too old to party and do drugs and they’re falling apart. There is no reward in their sort of foolery and lifelong reliance on the Gubmint.

IT’S A JOB, VAN.

IF I COULD TELL YOU WHAT...UNDER VILE SITUATIONS...I HAD TO TAKE FOR A JOB.

And I retired as a Bank Officer.

And soon, even those will be taken by some guys and gals named Juan, Maria, Pedro, Juanita and Carlos. Nary a one that can speak a lick of English but can do manual labor.

>> there are good jobs numbers in the black community, “they’re crappy jobs.”

Maybe that’s because BlaKKKs don’t allow themselves to be trained for good jobs? Because they push the lie that to learn is to be an Uncle Tom? As the famous BlaKKK Marxist Malcom X once said: “The chickens have come home to roost!”

Van Jones must think every job out there should be a “cool job”.

God forbid they should get educated and/or have a good work ethic so they could get un-crappy jobs.

Republicans are self-serving, but do not lump constitutional conservatives in with them. We do care but are betrayed by many of our elected RINOS.

Reminds me of my kinsman who never could find or keep a job on his own. One day I found him a GREAT JOB doing the same thing I did for 31 years in a different plant.

When I called him and told him about it his words were...”I don’t want to do that kind of work!”

I simply said “OK” and never tried to help him again. He had a natural lazy streak. His poor wife is the one who kept the family in food, working at minimum wage.
