Talk:Color of Change

Silencing Glenn Beck
This article by Michelle Oddis links the organization Color of Change to the boycott of the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News by five companies that had been sponsoring the show. The companies are identified as SC Johnson, Progressive Insurance, Geico, Procter & Gamble and LexisNexis. The article describes the reason for the boycott as on-air comments made by Beck concluding that President Obama is a racist because of his "world experience."

Color of Change is a racist organization, led by a radical communist Black-national named Van Jones, who President Obama has made a member of his cabinet. Seeing as the group is clearly racially modivated, shouldn't Color of Change also be included in the 'Racism' and 'Hate Groups' section, with other like-minded (yet targeting different constituencies) groups like the KKK?

Yes, yes they should. For the simple reason that they are in fact going after a man who dislikes the President and there's a only a middleman between this organization and the President. It wouldn't be hard for Obama to ask Jones to do this.

And if Beck is taken off the air, he sues Color of Change for defamation, discovery uncovers some documents linking it to something from Van Jones, Obama is seen as a fool, Beck writes a book about it and makes millions. Only sounds fair, right?PokeHomsar (talk) 07:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC) YES YES YES! This is definitely a racist organization! Please link it to the racist and hate section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.210.17 (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Yep, this is a racist orginization and it should be catigorized with those types of orgs. The about us link states "Our goal is to empower our members—Black Americans and our allies" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.71.178 (talk) 08:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC) Color of Change is NOT a racist organization by any means. It is a progressively-minded group that seeks progressive change in government with a focus on disparities between peoples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sylantis (talk • contribs) 20:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Correcting errors
I corrected the erroneous IRS status to 501(c)(4) which appears on all Color of Change IRS Form 990 annual reports since its first filing in 2006; I also corrected the erroneous PAC description to reflect its registration with the Federal Elections Commission as a Political Action Committee (Committee ID: C00428557). ColorOfChange.org is a California corporation created March 16, 2006 (Entity Number C2788886) by James Rucker and Van Jones. The 501(c)(4) was funded by the San Francisco Foundation ($100,000) and the Tides Foundation ($50,000) according to FoundationSearch database. The PAC was funded by multi-national winery multi-millionaire Donald Hess, by Wes Boyd, millionaire founder of Berkeley Systems and MoveOn.org, along with several others (FEC disclosure report at http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/com_ind/C00428557/).Ronarnold (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Intro is NPOV, it's a well funded PAC, founded by a friend of the president it's not grassroots by any objective definition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.69 (talk) 14:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Vanity Entry
This appears to be a vanity article written by the organization itself. The group is not notable, and no reliable sources document its activities or existence. Rather, the links which mention it are all from its own webpage. GaiaHugger (talk) 18:28, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Breitbart
I'll try to get something up soon re. Color of Change's criticism of Andrew Breitbart and his relationship with HuffPo. Until then, collecting some references:
 * Andrew Breitbart vs. Huffington Post
 * Huffington Post will stand by Andrew Breitbart, despite criticism
 * Arianna Huffington Finally Turns on Andrew Breitbart
