All this labeling is so unhelpful in these situations. Sad.

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO AGREE WITH THIS ASSHOLE HE IS RIGHT. BLACKS ONLY SHOOT UP THE HOOD. BUT MORE BLACK KIDS WALK AROUND WITH GUNS THAN WHITE KIDS DO. IF A BLACK KID TRIED TO SHOOT UP A GHETTO SCHOOL HE WOULD GET SO MANY CAPS BUSTED IN HIS ASS HE WOULD LOOK LIKE A WHEEL OF SWISS CHEESE.

I don't like the word "never" but he didn't say that. He just pointed to the statistical facts, just like many do about black crime. It's just when the statistics, like serial killers, things like that, go on the side of what white people do, it's never mentioned in terms of race.

whites commit suicide at a much higher rate than blacks.
You hardly hear of a black comitting suicide.

whites commit 99.9% more serial killings.
1 and only 1 occasion that I know of is the DC Snipers.
but there are hundreds of whites who commit these serial murders.

whites in school shootings ....
The math and facts speak for themselves.
Van Jones is not perfect and is passionate about a lot of issues dealing with race relations. At least he is trying.
More than I can say about others.

Calling someone a racist because they choose to discuss certain issues that they see a mass of people suffering from is wrong. Yelling race card on issues like this is wrong also.

What a racist comment. Thank GOD he is not in the present administration anymore - although the fact he was placed there by Obama is disconcerting at best.

Does anyone else notice that Obama and his gang have returned us to the civil rights movement of the 60's? They are determined to create a divide based on race in this country. I hope most people won't buy it.

"Our young whites males are suffering in this society profoundly" because the "liberal" educational system has emasculated them. It's no coincidence they are going off the deep end at the very institutions that have stripped them of their dignity.

Van Jones is a radical race baiting nut job. How can you take anything he says seriously.

Wasn't it a Chinese kid who shot up Virginia Tech? Hatred is not indigenous to one ethnicity....

The youngest school shooting happened to be a black kid. 6 years old.

Seems some are just compelled to keep this race thing going.

That's fairly racist to believe that blacks don't have the creativity to plan, or the motivation to pull off something like Columbine. This is America! Where ANY student, REGARDLESS of the color of their skin has an equal chance to pick off screaming students as the teachers use them as human shields.

So far he is right--why?

The reason the black kids don't do a columbine, they are out in the streets selling drugs and shooting each other. They are not in school, this jackass is a total idiot. All he had to do is come to Detroit and he would of found that out without making a speech. Of course he would have to duck and wear a flak jacket, but then Van Jones is too chicken shit to actually come and see what he should be preaching about.

So, it ok for blacks to be racist and not whites. This is a racist comment. Whites would be road out of town if this came out of their mouths.

does it really matter what skin they are all that matters is that they shot somebody and I think this guy is an idiot for thinking that only white people shoot other people
