Van Jones Embarrassed Black Men With His “Whitelash” Speech LIVE on CNN Against Trump (REACTION)
After Donald Trump became our 45th President, CNN pundit Van Jones decided to voice his opinion on the racial element of the election, saying that Trump won in part due to a “whitelash” against current President Barack Obama. He says that it’s not *all* about race, but much of the “rhetoric” from Trump’s campaign about “Muslims” and “Mexicans” affected the race and that it can’t be ignored. Jones also lamented on about how he was going to express what has happened in this election (or the outcome, at least) to his children.
It was embarrassing as a black man to see Van Jones crumble into a puddle of his own emotions live on TV. He basically cried and threw a hissy fit simultaneously. His reaction can be viewed in a variety of ways. One could say that he did not have control over his emotions, which is a very feminine trait, and embarrassing to men as a whole. And it reinforces stereotypes about black men not being able to control their emotions. Many of us are raised by single mothers and we don’t properly develop that characteristic in life. It could also be said that he was simply putting on a performance as a TV pundit, which at a certain point may be the equivalent to an actor. Either way, I was personally embarrassed.
The idea of racism being the key factor of this election is preposterous. Especially when Van Jones labeled the phenomenon a “whitelash” … seeing as how is wife is white and his children are bi-racial. He’s painting white people with a broad brush although he’s married to a white woman. Beyond his personal situation, there’s also the fact that many of the same people who voted for Barack Obama twice also voted for Donald Trump. So did those same white people all of a sudden become racist after 8 years? The whole absurd theory of “whitelash” really doesn’t make sense when viewed from the exterior of an echo chamber. Mainstream media allowed that content to get out sans later retraction or apology, which further lets many of us common citizens understand how much of a joke the mainstream media is.
