  • Are people not listening to what he said? He was speaking on behalf of the environmental community. Listen to what he actually says.

  • Another classic study is "Toxic Wastes and Race in the United States," by the United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice; this was updated in March 2007 as "Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty 1987-2007," by Robert D. Bullard, Ph.D.; Paul Mohai, Ph.D; Robin Saha, Ph.D., and Beverly Wright, Ph.D.

  • Do any of you Republican scum have anything to refute Van Jones's basic point here, which is so obviously true that it is trivial? Have you ever seen a map of toxins overlaid with a map of nonwhite areas? How about a ZIP code study? Environmental racism is a tangible, obvious fact. But none of you have ever let the facts get in the way of a good (racist) story.

  • Give me one example of a zipcode study or any of the other evidence you cited. I guarantee you there from some enviro-wacko site.

    And we aren't "Republican" scum. I'm an Independent, and my parents are both Democrats, yet we all hate this guy's guts. I personally don't like either party, including the Republicans, but they're right on this one.

  • James T. Hamilton, "Testing for Environmental Racism," Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Winter 1995.

    J.T. Boer, et. al., "Is there environmental racism?" Social Science Quarterly, 1997 vol 78 no. 4. (study on Los Angeles County)

    (more to come)

  • Seema Arora and Timothy N. Cason, "Do Community Characteristics Influence Environmental Outcomes? Evidence from the Toxics Release Inventory," Southern Economic Journal 1999, 65(4), 691-716.

  • Finally, even without the context of what Van Jones is saying, his point should be pretty obvious: the process of community input (environmental impact statements and public comment periods, etc.) in current environmental regulation allows well-organized communities (mostly white) to keep out toxins while less well-off communities (mostly nonwhite) end up with more pollution. Hence we need better overall regulation as well as better-organized communities of color. Should be non-controversial.

  • Most of those communities you mentioned are that way because they are POOR, not because of anything having to do with race. It is much cheaper to live in a community where the quality of living sucks and is run down than it is to live in a wealthier community away from the industrial zones. And there are White people live in these zones too. Whites do not push poison onto people of color because of their race, and they especially do not do it intentionally.

  • Furthermore, at least a couple of the studies you cited were from biased organizations who already believe the White folks are about the get them.

    This is the problem with you guys- when a White guy says something bigoted against Black people, he's racist. But if a Black man says something that's racist against White people, that's ok, and anyone who calls him out on it is taking it out of context.

  • Here, you want racism? You got it-

    -ACORN

    -The Black Panthers

    -Rev. Wright

    -Louis Farrakhan

    -Affirmative Action

    -Van Jones being a Black nationalist before going to jail and being a proud communist coming out.

    -Obama's racist statements in "Dreams of My Father."

  • Let's put this in perspective for you. A lot of times, when I see a poor community, it is filled with garbage, broken glass, etc. But there's not nearly as much of it in middle to upper class communities, which are mostly inhabited with White people. Does that mean the White folks came and put that trash in those neighborhoods because they were Black? No. It doesn't. It just means that poorer communities unfortunately are more trashed than others.

  • In other words, there is nothing that is going to change your mind, because overwhelming evidence of systematic racism is immaterial to you. If Latino neighborhoods get dumped on all out of proportion to white neighborhoods, then "Whoops! That's just how the cookie crumbles!" Can't have anything to do with racism, nosiree.

    What a crock.

  • If Whites were to comprise the vast majority of those living in neighborhoods that, because they are near industrial zones, are cheap because of the fact they are poor, then yes, I would believe that they get screwed over, but I would not believe that it is because of racism. If minorities want to get out of the unfortunate situation they are in, they should get up off their rear ends, go to college, and get a nice paying job so they can move to a better neighborhood.

  • Another thing I forgot to mention is that poorer people buy cheaper goods, which are by and large made in China and other places, and therefore have lead and nasty chemicals on/in them.

    To you, everything that goes wrong in a minority's life is because of race.

    -I get arrested. IT'S BECAUSE I'M BLACK.

    -I don't get an A on the test. IT'S BECAUSE I'M BLACK.

    -I don't get hired. IT'S BECAUSE I'M BLACK.

    We're opposed to Obama. IT'S BECAUSE HE'S BLACK.

  • An illegal alien gets booted from this country. IT'S BECAUSE I'M A LATINO/MEXICAN.

    Automatically, it's because of race, even if there's overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

    When you cry wolf so many times when there is no wolf, people won't believe you anymore, even if there really is a wolf. That's why I'm so tired of these anti-White racists like Van Jones and Rev. Wright.

    Don't get me wrong, NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED A JOB, BE ARRESTED, ETC. BECAUSE THEY'RE BLACK/LATINO. That's racism.

  • But people of EVERY race get screwed over in one way or another. That includes Blacks. And I am really tired of being labeled a racist just because I am against certain policies or because I'm opposed to Obama. I'm just sick of the race card in general. And so are many other Whites.

    And in regards to the environment people of every single race pollute it. We all are harming God's green earth. And we all need to do something about it. Whites pollute just like Blacks do. We're in this together.

  • If you would still like to tag Whites as racist, know this: we have collectively been bending over backwards to eliminate racism in this country. We realized what we were doing wrong during the last century and took steps to correct our mistakes. We enacted anti-racism and civil rights laws so you guys could all be treated equally and as decent human beings. So as people who are opposed to racism, we don't like it when people play the race card where it shouldn't be played. I hope you understand

  • Tell me Barack Hussein Obama is not a racist.

    -Van Jones saying this crap here.

    -Obama attending a racist church for 20 years.

    -Obama's wife saying racist crap about White people.

    -Obama making racist statements in his book, "Dreams Of My Father."

  • It would be funny if he wasn't in a real position of power, maybe he's too extreme for the Administration of Hope?

  • Barrack Insane Obama is a racist, markist, bum.

    He lied to get into the office,

    He will have his day in the end.

    Calling others to the capet, bush, chetney, will be the end of him.

    Van Jones is a fool,

    laughable really, excon faggot.

  • You leftist fools and "guilty" progressive whites have no idea what you've unleashed on America and its precious Constitution. Shove this kind of change far up your liberal and tolerant asses.

  • How did Van the man make it out ta hood, since he was poisoned by whitey and has a government job because of whitey???There sure must be alot of black white folk out there cause there are more white folks gettin' shit on than black !!

  • So much for the post racial presidency.

  • besides weeding out the rest of the radical, racist, communist, excons that Obama put in place, we need to repeal his "stimulous" bill that has our future grandchildren funding ACORN and why hasn't ACORN been investigated yet???

  • so this is the administration you actually think will create jobs with their "stimulous" bill that did nothing but prop up groups like ACORN

    when you're out there looking for a job, remember the radical, racist, communist, excon, loser this administration put in charge of jobs

    let's see, what kind of jobs would a radical, racist, communist, excon create?

  • If the Federal Government didn't have a job for him, he would be "UNEMPLOYABLE"! He would not be able to hold down a job, make a living, support a family. He would be someone that would rob a working family's home in order to make it and then blame the working family for his actions.

  • I'd like to stay and chat but I gotta go shit in the local ghetto.

  • If they could just kill all the white people and take all of their money, they would be happy. This Bastard should not be running a McDonalds, much less a Trillion dollar program to save us from a Climate Change Hoax. Wake up you ignorant white-guilt ridden trash that voted for this administration.

  • What this guy has to say IS pollution., Can't our government regulate IT?

  • I used to love niggers, now i can't stand the sons a bitches.

  • I didn't vote him; but I know a few white people who voted for Obama just because they thought he would improve race relations.

    This president who assumed a cop was "acting stupidly" sure does have a lot of anti-cops, anti-white people, anti-America friends and it's not fair to judge all black people based on this president. Most black people love this country and aren't racist. It's just this radical bunch associated with our president making them all look bad.

  • No phone pics O.E.D.

    they are to busy fighting the white c.i.a. agents who keep dropping off the crack and guns -and make them use it

  • Bush had "neo-cons"

    B.O. has "neo-coms"

    "neo-com" definition: new black panther, black liberation theology, marxist/leninist revolutionary, bring-it-all-down-man, white man's greed poisoning people of color, and pseudo-environmentalist ....... all rolled up into one, anti-captialist propaganda machine

  • Just shows you where our once great country is headed under the guidance of a black socialist president. Thank God I didn't vote for the wack job. People that voted for him got exactly what you wanted...IDIOTS!

  • What the-hell is that lunatic referring to?

  • hand picked by obama.

  • 2.5 upgrade? shut up! what is racial justice

    because god knows you have been so persecuted. your a Marxist whiner . - this country had one to many drinks...shots, and they are just finding out they slept with the ugly fat chick ( obama etal) and dignity will start to come back right around the 2010 elections and i promise you - PEOPLE like you are done in the political arena forever in this country because the back lash will be harsh.

  • Did he say "White environmentalists" and "White polluters"

    This guy sounds like a racist azzhole.

  • Obama appointed this man to one of the most powerful positions in government, just a fun fact for you there.

  • This guy is a fucking whack job. Why does he still work for the White House? What a disgrace!

  • Van Jones is just a thug communist who has zero experience with the climate. He is B.O.'s gay lover for sure. Perhaps Mitchell should be told?

  • Wow. That zoom of the camera was intentional, make sure to get the "white devil" hand shakling the black man. Subtle.....

  • This guy is sure an idiot!!!! he should be washing cars or something else!!!!

  • van jones and obama are definitely queer together

  • you got that right!!! this guy is an idiot and should NOT be in front of a camera!!!!!

  • Did you get a load of that mural behind him? Looks like some kind of white specter shackling and declaring war on black youth. Is he at Jeremiah Wright's church?

  • This guy is a racist pig....oh wait..i see this is the change people voted for ? Remove white racists-insert black racists....LMAO WHY SO SERIOUS

  • "Our government has

    been for the past few years under the control of heads of great allied

    corporations with special interests. It has not controlled these interests

    and assigned them a proper place in the whole system of business; it has

    submitted itself to their control."

    - Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom

    The Constitution hasn't been valid in politics since 1913. The Democrats and the Republicans are the same people. Civil liberties, People's rights, and State rights are no longer a concern.

  • "As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience, and of the press, it will be worth defending."

    - Andrew Jackson, First Inaugural Address (1829)

  • "This is not confined to some of the state governments and those of some of

    the towns and cities. We know that something intervenes between the

    people of the United States and the control of their own affairs at

    Washington. It is not the people who have been ruling there of late."

    - Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom

  • JOKES ON THE PEOPLE WASHINGTON WINS AGAIN

    "Men said: "We vote; we are offered the platform we

    want; we elect the men who stand on that platform, and we get absolutely

    nothing." So they began to ask: "What is the use of voting? We know that

    the machines of both parties are subsidized by the same persons, and

    therefore it is useless to turn in either direction.""

    - Woodrow Wilson, his book The New Freedom (1913)

  • What in the hell is this guy talking about!!!!???

    I would love to see where a black community has had toxins spewed into it because white environmentalists decided to.

    What a bunch of hogwash!

    Only Obama could get away with appointing this fool.

  • i am glad they are being so upfront and open with everyone at least you can tell who the racists and socialist are and who to vote out.

  • Smells like a racist. Thank you Obama for picking the best and brightest.

  • Oh this guy is a gold mine!

    He is better than Biden and his Zillion new jobs LOL!

    Hilarity!

  • midterms will be a blood bath for the Dems,... this guy is strait out  hugo chavez administration

  • Always blaming the White -man!  Who is being Racist?

  • chaaannngggggeeeeeeeeee

  • hating a person based on race is the exact definition of RACISM, so maybe he should look in the mirror if he really wants to see the face of a racist

  • the saddest part about this guy is not the ignorance that he spews out of his mouth but the fact that he believes it. One question; if he thinks "white people" are spraying and filling the "minority" neighborhoods with toxins;

    what does the racist think of a white person just walking down the street or white kids going to school 1 guess "not much" all the names he calls these "faceless" white people he so casually accuses of such crimes he sees racism everywhere except in his own kind

  • It's good to know the green czar has deemed white environmentalists as racists for steering pollution into black communities. What injustice! White environmentalists need to be good liberals and placate blacks when the charge of racism is leveled against them by blacks. They need to get down on their knees and kiss this man's ass.

  • This guy is dangerous..what the hell is he doing as a top advisor? my god they vetted hilary and bill clinton, to the T yet this asshole gets in? something fishy is going on here .pardon the pun..seems to me most of obamas friends have the belief,that white men try to give the black folk all kind of sicknesses???I dont know but this is troubling..

  • Quoting Rasmussen is like quoting Fox.. They are a conservative rag. The true scientific poll out there is Gallup. They have been doing since before you were born. Btw, Rasmussen has him at 47% and trending up, but I'm sure you know that and thought others would be idiots and take what you said at face value.

  • This guy is the product of affirmative action, given access rather than earning it. He possesses a 2nd class intellect conveyed through a psychotic ideology. His kind are master manipulators lacking the ability and fortitude to build a society so use whatever means necessary to transform an existing one into a system with them as the new elite. Don't be fooled hence led, the stink emitted form this commies mouth is the same as a cow fart in terms of pollution and even less in terms of logic.

  • what a complete moron bed wetter commie pink piece of shit!

  • What do ya expect, folks? Obama himself is a race warlord. Many of his appointees, from this guy to his attorney general, are nothing more than Obama's accomplices or race warlords. America is in deep sh_t! Watch out for Obama's new plan on financial overhaul. That's more detrimental to capitalism in America than his plan of socialized medicine. People, educate yourself. Get ready and fight Obama and his goons and thugs.

  • Our tax dollars are paying this idiot ! Wow....what a compete moronic ass bag !

  • Wow the white man is even bad in the (background) picture. Green Jobs man needs an Obama Beer Summit or maybe to be recycled! HOW SAD. Obama. Lost potential. Lost hope. We all can make a difference. The power lies in our numbers. Well at least America got a glimpse of hope for a few months. The rest is a big letdown back to reality..

  • Cunt

  • Change you can believe in. Yeah.

  • This guy is BATSHIT CRAZY.

  • Beck is an idiot. He's never been right in his life. He's manipulated you into thinking that a half white man is a racist against his mother, grandmother etc. You guys know how stupid you sound. Of course you don't.

  • Just what the typical racist Beck viewer wants. A race war.

  • Mr. Mooshie, or is it Mr. Moshe?

    This guy is no hero, he has hijacked the green movement for his own radical agenda and you know it.

    And your tactic of setting someone up so you can knock him down is old. Glenn Beck is an actor though he may mean well. He isn't anyone's hero to emulate so give it up.

  • He accuses others, like Glenn Beck, of racism, yet he is racist himself. Unfortunately, there so so many hypocrites like him out there...

  • They are mostly Jew polluters.

  • Where does Obumma find these whack jobs?? Damn these people scare me with all of the Marxism..

  • Guilty white liberals put Obama over the top - now they're about to get hosed. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. These people saw the videos of Rev Wright during the campaign and they probably blamed the evil Republicans and still voted for Obama. All that irrational hatred of Bush just to vote for anybody - well that anybody is going to completely destroy this country unless the heartland takes a stand.

  • look at the picture behind him, shows whites hands cuffing black hands holding a note " war on youth"

    when does America wake up and see who obama surrounds himself with!?? this administration is absolutely going to destroy American... if they have their way! out of control!

  • You're right. The sign does say "war on youth. Whoa.

  • Group orientation is at the heart of racism. Race is about groups...us against them....

    Jones thinks I am his enemy just because my skin color is different than his group. Is Obama in the white group or black group? Mom white / Dad black... but he identifies with black groups.

    Until we move away from group politics, racism will continue.

    BTW, Dems are all about groups... Reps are about individuals... Now you know...the rest of the truth...

  • Lisp! Lisp!

    I detect a Lisp!

  • This guy is a racist dick. Throw him out of government office.  Discrimination based on race is enough reason to fire him from the Federal payroll.

  • Pretty much all of you are extremely ignorant. This is not a partisan thing. Read some books please. Please. :(

  • "Because they don't have a racial justice frame?" Is he going to set up this 'Racial justice frame for us'?

    WTF is this racist lunatic talking about?

  • Welcome to the United States of Somalia........President Mugabe, Minister Jones, Prosecutor Holden, Minister Waters, Minister Watson, Minister Rangel.....gee aren't we glad about our Diversity?...

  • This is the moron that called Republicans assholes!!

  • This scumbag went to Yale Law school? Way to go Yale, you produced another success story.

  • This administration will set race relations back 50 years.

  • I hate to say it, but there will be a revolution coming. This shit will not be permitted in our country. That includes Obama and all the rest of the shit thats in Washington

  • So he blames white people? White people are polluting the places where black people live.

    Blanket statement by a....RACIST.

  • Obama was, is and always will be a left radical atheist racist marxist whose goal is to destroy the country. Has Obama ever denied any of the acussations?

  • You left out muslim. You guys sound so stupid. Why the hell would the President, yes, I know it hurts to call him what he is, the president deny such a stupid accusation from rightwing lunatics.

  • A KKK would make the same kind of statements

  • Obama, Obama keep your friends talking. Wake up America.

    Everyone thought Rev. Wright was a fluke? Haha Dumbasses.

  • Fyi my mom is white and she is not polluting the colored community cuz she aint racist. sounds to me, you poison anybody who are "white people" because you give them a bad name. dude, if you think the cause: white people effect: bad stuff then buckle up buddy cuz youre about to get blown away. THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD ARE NOT JUST THE WHITE PEOPLE BUT ARE ALSO EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS ALL HATING IN THIS WORLD! HEAL THE WORLD AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE!

  • Obama promised "change" and hope....the people that voted for him got change alright and forced us along with them. I was a Hillary delegate...Democrat all my life but that changed when Obama started his run for President.

  • I voted for Obama and I'm getting exactly what I hoped, someone who is doing what he said he would do during the campaign. Too bad you can't see past the color of his skin that you have vote against your own ideology. That's truly pathetic. You are a weak individual.

  • I could care less about his race. Powell would have been my first choice. Keep waiting for Obama to fulfill just one of his promises, and you will be an old man ! Wait for the tax hike that is coming to all the middle class !

  • Something tells me you are lying about either being a Democrat or Powell being your first choice.. What kind of life long dem makes Powell their first choice. Sounds like someone is looking for a black politician to claim they would vote for.

  • Where did you read I was a democrat ? I have always liked Powell and what he stands for, especially when he spoke during the war ! He is a great American and great leader.

    You should stop making assumptions.

  • Sorry, thought you were the original poster I was responding to. The fact is Powell supports the President and is against the Dick Cheney, Beck and Limbaugh idiots and as far as promises the President has already giving the tax break to 95% of Americans so come up with another talking point.

  • he will give 95 percent of all American workers a tax cut but does not mention that his plan would send checks to tens of millions of tax filers who pay no personal income taxes - payments that critics say look "suspiciously like welfare."

    wow....now I can stimulate the economy with my additional $13 Yippeee

  • sheeep!!!! baaahhhhh....

    you have NO clue what you are talking about you are ONLY supporting him because he is black! there are ONLY two kinds of pepole who still support him! Blacks and dumbasses!!! seems both in your case! If the man was ALL white (remember he is half) i would still think he is a dumbass!

    Look at the news everyday! he has NO clue what he is doing... says one thing... then the next another! puts his finger in the air every morning! right now we need a LEADER hes not

  • 54%? public school i suppose! you can spin your numbers how you want! anyone who can read can look for themselves...look at his job approval! no im not racist YOU ARE you voted and still support a man because of his skin color! there is NO WAY anyone with half a brain would support losing their freedom! raising taxes.. and charging our future kids to pay for some lazy asses/illegals! head in the sand! bottom line! go get a clue!

  • Im sure that this video and another three,did not come from fox, just because fox is not in bed with the white house,fox is showing the videos the other channels stay clear of..my question to you is, why bash fox..why not denounce this idiot for what he is??does it hit to close to home I wonder?

  • StalinTerror; Go to your own country, this is ours and We The People WILL take it back!!!

  • Obviously Obama is waging a political war against "white people". By "white people", he means who? Oh, never mind, Obama says he knows one when he sees one.

  • Comment removed

  • A communist viper. An ex-con. A racist. A perfect Obama choice.

  • Communists like us foment racial hatred. Van Jones is playing his part. We must turn American against American to reach our goal of complete power. We are not afraid to say this, it is our battle cry. Americans cannot understand the attack they are about to receive from within their own gov't. Obama will bring back the Terror of Stalin as planned for many years. He just happens to be in place at this time. We control the schools, unions, the courts, the congress, and now the presidency.

  • You are counting out the South and Midwest, we populate the majority of the US Army, and we all have guns. You bastards will see a hell of a second Civil War, and this time the troops wont march into the south and fire on us, they will fire on the communists and fascists in the Blue states.

  • ROFL. We defeated you before and we'll do it again.

  • I'm not sure, but I think that he is supposed to be part of Hope and Change.

  • Obama bin Liable -- The Audacity of Race Hustlers

  • What a nut. Just cause you say it doesn't mean it is the truth.
