Meh, Van gives EVERYBODY a fair shake. That's always been his virtue and his Achilles heel.

And with That I'll say scoring Jared for his first major outlet interview is quite a get. He's actually not the empty suit I expected him to be. Still out of his depth for his role tho..
13293329, Stopped when he first tried to normalize the Jack o lantern

13293332, yup thats when a lot of folks jumped ship.

13293333, was I really fucking with him before?

13293337, I think he sucks at his job and is better served in actual politics
Posted by dgonsh, Mon Oct-22-18 03:29 PM
I really respect that he is qualified and working in politics was his forte. He is emotional so he got a lot of screen time as a counter to Jeffrey Lord in the early post-nov8/16 world when he cried on air.. But then it all changed with Trumps first SOTU. "Today is the day Donald Trump become President of the United States" was not only a kickstarter for Megan Amram's twitter account, but also one of the saddest displays of political commentary I've ever seen.

His show is trash. His "let's just have a dialogue" shtick is admirable but so rarely interesting or thought-provoking. He's simply not interesting as a media personality.

Having said that, he elicits a response in people...so if he's happy, good for him. I just don't think he's very good at his current job.
13293344, Nah, never did

13293399, Honestly I was done when he talked about Prince right after he died.
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Oct-23-18 08:40 AM
Like I don’t care if they were legit friends...Prince didn’t talk about his charity for a reason.
13293451, huh? i'm no Van fan, but i don't see that as wrong, at all
Posted by Damali, Tue Oct-23-18 10:52 AM
We are all allowed to talk about our own lived experience. That was Van's right to choose to talk about his friend after he passed. Prince was a human being; not a sacred God..so that's a bit extra, imo

13293694, fam you gotta elaborate on this. what happened?
Posted by Reeq, Tue Oct-23-18 08:43 PM
13293458, I went to see that fool speak like 2-3 weeks before the 2016 election
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Oct-23-18 11:02 AM
I was done with him AT that event. Before his ass was even done speaking I was done.
13293465, what did he say?

13293477, Some shit about how we need to love those who deny us our humanity
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Oct-23-18 11:33 AM
because they're economically depressed.
13293693, oh yeah....eff all of that.
Posted by rorschach, Tue Oct-23-18 08:37 PM
They didn't love us and still don't.

Van's bugging.

He sounds like one of those black people that tried to make themselves believe racism was dead when Obama was elected.
---------------------------------------

13293462, He's an intelligent guy that I have no use for
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-23-18 11:09 AM
I wonder if he thinks he needs this "let's have a dialogue, both sides!" stuff. The way Glenn Beck and co went after him when he worked for Obama was shady, and he absolutely got thrown under the bus through no fault of his own. I can see why someone who experienced that would feel the instinct to want to play nice with them.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to watch.

Give the man his due: @realDonaldTrump is on his way to becoming the uniter-in-Chief on an issue that has divided America for generations. Congrats to everyone on both sides who fought for this. #FIRSTSTEPact #CriminalJusticeSummit #CriminalJusticeReform #justicereform #Trump

Wife:
Jana Carter
Neice of Jimmy Carter

Jana worked as the director of Search for Common Ground’s USA Racial Healing program and is also a board member of The Garden Church.

She is the owner of Kidpacking, producer and director of operations at Magic Labs Media.


So they seem like good people that are fully committed to the idealism of race and environment of the 90s ... they live their truth.

13316975, Is child separation not part of criminal justice?
Posted by bentagain, Fri Mar-01-19 01:18 PM
Kind of convenient to completely overlook the shit show going on right now with immigration and the child separation policy

He's coming off very...well at least it ain't us anymore (well, not us AS much anymore, LOL/SMH/real tears)
13298138, He always struck me as a typical person on here

I gave up a while back when he said 'Trump was presidential'.
13316914, This is sad
Posted by Marauder21, Fri Mar-01-19 09:24 AM
Again, he absolutely got thrown under the bus by the Obama administration due to bad faith right wing BS. It's just depressing watching him turn into this. He really seemed like he was smarter than this.
13316953, right? I'm scratching my head at how naive
Posted by Stadiq, Fri Mar-01-19 11:57 AM

and reckless he's being.

Dude is letting himself become a fucking mascot for their side- its really odd to see.

On some Joe Biden "they are decent people" shit. Nah.

Posted by Airbreed, Tue Mar-05-19 03:57 PM
...and i doubt it only had to do with being pressured by right wing conservatives to step down.

Bro was out of his league with this government/politics shit. And even he admitted to it.
