"i hate black people. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story . " -Pro Trump Non Profit





On Tuesday, in a convention center in West Palm Beach, Florida, amid chants of “USA!” and “The wall is going to be built!,” Donald Trump, Jr., kicked off a three-day annual summit for Turning Point USA, a conservative nonprofit. Based outside of Chicago, Turning Point’s aim is to foment a political revolution on America’s college campuses, in part by funnelling money into student government elections across the country to elect right-leaning candidates. But it is secretive about


its funding and its donors, raising the prospect that “dark money” may now be shaping not just state and federal races but ones on campus.

Turning Point touts its close relationship with the President’s family. The group’s Web site promoted Don, Jr.,’s appearance for weeks, featuring a photo of him raising a clenched fist. Its promotional materials include a quote from the younger Trump praising Turning Point: “What you guys have done” is “just amazing.” Lara Trump, the wife of Don, Jr.,’s brother Eric, is also involved with the group. In West Palm Beach on Wednesday, she hosted a luncheon promoting Turning Point’s coming Young Women’s Leadership Summit. The group’s twenty-four-year-old executive director and founder, Charlie Kirk, told me that he counts Don, Jr., as “a personal friend.”

...

Perhaps most troubling for an organization that holds up conservatives as the real victims of discrimination in America, Turning Point USA is also alleged to have fostered an atmosphere that is hostile to minorities. Screenshots provided to me by a source show that Crystal Clanton, who served until last summer as the group’s national field director, sent a text message to another Turning Point employee saying, “i hate black people. Like fuck them all .?.?. I hate blacks. End of story.”

Seriously, wtf?! We must get money out of politics immediately. It needs to be the core of our platform. All "regular" Americans understand this and believe it - R or D. It must stop now. I'm to the point I think we should have almost no other agenda. It is pure legal corruption and it is absolute.

And extremely anti government . Everything should be privatized they will treat government workers as dirt to thier face ....while using thier services !!
There was a crowd of these idiots of that age at an airport once shouting all thier crap to each other about the airport service and facilities government etc. I wanted to ask do you know who is bringing in your plane right now ?FAA and stopped you from sitting next to someone with explosives ?
and planned your runway construction etc. etc .???

They could have very high GPAs in academics but when you hear them or have to interact in exchanges etc. there is something very off about them .
Head hollow mouth breathers indeed

I want to add the person who founded this group is from a fairly middle class established suburb of Chicago not rural Illinois

November 7, 2017
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson University's student body vice president narrowly avoided impeachment after an 11-hour trial. News media outlets report Clemson's student senate voted 42-16 early Tuesday in favor of impeaching Jeran Stewart. Forty-four votes were needed for impeachment. Stewart is black and has previously said the effort to remove him reflects racism on campus. He was among a dozen students who sat during the Pledge of Allegiance earlier this year. He says the impeachment effort began shortly thereafter. The student who led the impeachment effort has said it had nothing to do with racism but rather began after Stewart was fired from his position as a resident assistant and charged with trespassing. Stewart said that matter was resolved last summer. After Tuesday's vote, he said he was glad he hadn't been removed.

He'll claim ignorance -- which, of course, is generally true of him and the whole family -- but will he repudiate and pull away from this racist group of petulant honkeys?

Build a long, deep background establishing trust with these assholes so we can take them down when we get clear evidence that they hate the Constitution, hate non-whites, non-WASPS.

Eventually their few black Republicans might speak out.

But they say terrible things about women all the time and female Republicans seem complicit.

TSU was LBJ's alma mater. LBJ was widely attributed as the second president who contributed most to improving civil right and improving the economic plight of black americans during his administration. The Texas State University system is second tier to Tx A&M and UT systems, and are not as well funded.

Note: none of the other Texas public campuses, including more conservative Tx Tech & Tx A&M, are on the list. The racist bastards keep trying but haven't been able to get a populus foot hold at these locations, thank goodness.
