Jones still deserves a huge applaud for being brave enough to handle this type of abusive racist speech. It is an unacceptable nature of the human to support the violence and attack or threatened other normal people and celebrities on the basis of race, gender, national origin, religious affiliation, and age. This type of activity is totally intolerable in this 21st century.
