During a recent segment, Jones said all white people of having a 'virus' in their brain known as racism no matter how 'well-intentioned' they may be.
'It's not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about. It's the white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, you know, people like that – "oh, I don't see race, race is no big deal to me, I see us all as the same, I give to charities."
Jones was referring to Cooper, a white woman dubbed 'Central Park Karen', after she made a false call to New York City police, claiming that an African American, who asked her to leash her dog while he was bird watching, threatened her life.
'But the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation.
'A Klan member could not have been better trained to pick up the phone and tell the police, "It's a black man, African-American man, come get him."
'So even the most liberal, well-intentioned white person has a virus in his or her brain that can be activated at an instant,' Jones, who is the co-founder of several social justice nonprofit organizations, said.

Van Jones says it's the 'white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter' who is more worrisome than the KKK

There are extremists in all groups. ALL are threat if we want a peaceful society. It’s not a pissing contest to see who’s worst.

I don't disagree with him. It's easy to see racism in the overtly racist groups (think hood wearing, "jews will not replace us", torch bearing protesters in Charlottesville). But only focusing on those groups does not effectively address the problem that is systemic even in liberal groups/individuals.

The KKK bombed churches and burned crosses on black owned homes. Van Jones needs to recognize.

Van Jones also said Trump votes was a “white-lash” for electing a Black president, so he always seems to have beef with White voters.
I find him dramatic and irritating myself.
