RE: George Washington statue in Washington Square Park, NYC
Van Jones is correct. However, we can not overlook the threat from hate groups which have grown exponentially over the last 12 years or so. We also can't look past the infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacists that the FBI warned us about in 2006, and again in 2016. This is a huge issue that continues to be overlooked. That's a huge part of the problem in this country: complacency. Too many people opt to just ignore the impacts of hate groups because it's easy for them to do so. However, minority groups don't have that option. There are many systemic issues that must be addressed as well.
