Is Van Jones a dangerous radical who espouses black nationalism, and an avowed communist?
For months articles and television exposés have painted Jones as a “radical,” a self-proclaimed communist, who also espoused nationalist ideology. The reason for focus on this person is that he has been appointed as a special adviser to President Barak Obama in a position on the White House Council on Environmental Quality in Washington, D.C. A civil-rights lawyer, author, and founder and co-founder of various organizations: Green for All, the Ella Baker for Human Rights, and Color of Change, Jones has been characterized as “an early green jobs visionary,” the “new face of environmentalism”, and a dangerous radical who has gained entrance to the White House and influence with the President of the United States.
