Can't stand that guy...


...don't know his name. He's the black guy in the back with that gaudy and ridiculously large gold-colored watch that looks like something an African dictator would wear. Everything and every comment with this guy has to do with race. He is so quick to take offense and turns the most innocuous comment to something racial.
I hope that they get rid of him.

Van? Yeah, I'm sure you mean Van.

He's tiresome, to be sure, he and his 24/7 attempt to be the racial provocateur. But what bugs me is when he pressures other black folks who don't always agree with him, like Charles (with the dreads) into "sidin' wid us."

Of course, Van's smart, and he's doing it on purpose. (Unlike poor Raquel, who's dumb as a box of rocks).

Unfortunately, Van's just a smirking narcissist. It's All About Van. If he was caucasian, he'd be a smirking klansman.

Van, yeah that's it. A racial provocateur describes him perfectly.
Raquel is the black girl that speaks ghetto and is the go-to "expert" on all things rap? Boy is she dumb. Sometimes I cringe at the things that come out of her mouth. I have noticed Van pressuring the other black presenters to agree with him. But I've seen Charles refute him several times. He's actually a pretty cool guy.

Yes, but he does so at a price. Van will berate him for not always agreeing.

Oh boy does he ever! It really bothers me when Van gives Charles a hard time for marrying a white woman and doing "white stuff" like talking to his dog.

Hey, Van, you want to know why race is still a thing in America? Because of guys with attitudes like yours.

That's VAN to a tee. He clearly has a huge chip on his shoulders regarding race. In fact, if you check out his twitter postings, you'll find some real sick racist comments; he's of the mentality that it's white people vs black in this world. He really could use some psychological help. Harvey should have fired him years ago !!!!!!

reply

He literally makes everything about race. Even things that have nothing to do with race, he's like "What are you trying to say, Harvey?!". It has gotten so old.

reply

Exactly. You hit it right on the head saying he makes things about race that have nothing to with it. It's like every time I watch TMZ Sports he mentions race. Always making comments that put whites down also. "The white guy doesn't want to mess with the black guy" for example. Like any black guy can beat any white guy's ass. He is a racist asshole!
