Even Uses Racist Graphic Trump Tweeted That Been Thoroughly DebunkedÂ
Donald Trump BFF and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is calling for reparations for white people.
While the Internet provocateur excels in espousing ignorance and hate, “fake news” and idiocy, Monday’s call for reparations for white people is just downright offensive. Newsweek, reporting the story, calls Jones a “Â right-wing conspiracy theorist allied with President Donald Trump.”
“There needs to be reparations for white people the last 20, 30 years, getting attacked and killed by the tens of thousands every year,” Jones said on his web-based show Monday, as Media Matters reports. “Seriously, if you want to play this whole game, and I’m not actually asking for that. There needs to be real travel advisories. They used to have in the 60s some places like Selma, Alabama, The New York Times would put travel advisories out for black folks. Well, you know what? They needed a travel advisory,” Jones insisted.
He also called for Americans to find incidents of racism.
“It doesn’t matter that most of the basketball players you see who happen to be black have the same haircut, or David Beckham, or anybody else,” Jones said. “It doesn’t matter. You need to find that racism. In the eclipse. In a guy’s short haircut. In whatever it is. You’ve got to find it. It’s got to be there. So that’s why I’ve issued a travel advisory for the United States for white folks going to places like Denver, Detroit. Places like Chicago, places like Seattle, because I’ve been to these towns and I’ve experienced it.”
If you’re scratching your head and asking, “Huh?” you’re not alone.
But there’s more of this insanity.
Jones calls Confederate monuments “Democratic Party icons,” and blasted “white knight race pushers — when you don’t have any blacks living that ever even saw slavery.”
Jones’ hateful ignorance is staggering. Blacks have been legally, then, illegally, prohibited from acquiring wealth in America for decades. One way was to make it illegal for Blacks to purchase property, and therefore, to pass down wealth. When it became illegal to do so, banks and property owners found other ways. Those days, one way or another, are not over.
“You’ve got all these whites who were never connected to it,” Jones says, of slavery. “And then you’ve got the Democratic Party that is literally pushing this that’s removing their history. And then somehow, that’s all Donald Trump’s fault. In fact, I tweeted that out this morning, that point, that I’ve noticed a lot of other people making. It’s just total hype, hysteria, mental illness.”
Again, if you’re scratching your head and asking, “Huh?” you’re not alone.
It’s important to note that Jones appears to still be using the totally debunked graphic that claims, “Whites killed by whites — 16%. Whites killed by blacks — 81%.” After candidate Donald Trump tweeted it, to massive outrage because it’s false, PolitiFact rated it “Pants of Fire” false.
