"Turning Point USA, the Trump-aligned right-wing group trying to make conservatism cool on college campuses, had to deal with yet another incident of racism in its ranks Thursday: a video that showed the president of its University of Nevada, Las Vegas chapter endorsing “white power.” In a cell phone video surfaced by the anarchist news website It’s Going Down and other platforms, a man identified as the president of TPUSA-UNLV, Riley Grisar (above, left) is seen making the “a-okay” hand gesture employed by many in the alt-right, and then saying “white power” twice." “As soon as the video in question came to the attention of Turning Point USA staff, we swiftly and permanently removed the student from any current or future involvement with our organization,” the non-profit wrote in a statement last night. “His comments were abhorrent, un-American, and disqualifying.” “As any large organization should, TPUSA has a zero-tolerance policy for hate, no matter the medium or how dated the act or comment, and we hold our tens of thousands of students to the highest of standards,” they added.

Richmond, VA: Strip Club Gives Platform to Roger Stone & VA Proud Boys, Promising Violence Against Opponents The public concern for this event was amplified in light of expected attendance by members of the Proud Boys, an organization Stone has aligned himself with. Stone himself has been known to make threats of political and personal violence throughout his storied career, however he often attempts to portray progressives and leftists as violent, such as when he hired the Proud Boys as security during an Oregon Republican conference. itsgoingdown.org/roger-stone-va-proud-boys-promise-violence/Weird site, sorry picture is so big............

"But while Kirk has repeatedly disavowed white nationalism and bigotry, he has failed to remove the ideology from his group. Just a week prior to that interview, white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes reportedly spoke at Iowa State University on the invite of the school’s TPUSA chapter. And in April, HuffPost revealed a bevy of racists that TPUSA had hired to fill out its national brass. The group’s former national field director, Crystal Clanton, once texted a colleague: “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.” Her replacement, 22-year-old Shialee Grooman, tweeted in 2013, “All I get is nigger dick.” The group’s Midwest regional manager, Timon Prax, was forced out for bigoted statements. The list goes on.... Asked about the Grisar video and TPUSA’s ongoing bigotry problem, a spokesperson opined that media bias against Republicans and overcoverage of these incidents might be giving the group its bad reputation, rather than the racists themselves." www.huffpost.com/entry/tpusa-college-republican-group-turning-point-has-a-white-supremacy-problem_n_5cd58fdbe4b0796a95dac4f6

There is no bottom to their disgusting behavior. They think disgusting behavior is what two consenting adults do in the bedroom. It is not. It is what unempathetic people do to hurt their neighbors that is the truly disgusting immoral behavior.

I’m with you all the way, sister. But I’m not going to blame it ALL on Trump. The racism and anti-Semitism and white (Christian) supremacy have been there, bubbling under the surface, forever. Trump just lifted the lid and let it show its ugly face. He allows it, he embodies it, he encourages it. What has always surprised me over the years has been the insistence on the part of conservative peas and others that we live in a post-racial world, that bigotry is gone, that there’s no need for affirmative action or the Voting Rights Act anymore, because everyone is equal and happy and there’s no more trouble in the world. Then they’re always “shocked and saddened” when the crazy rears its ugly head and someone ... or a dozen someones ... end up dead. How’s about you people, ya know, listen to the other side for a change? Exactly. You nailed it.

"Franklin and Jessica Richardson had planned for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. They would spend Sunday picnicking on the sandy shores of Oktibbeha County Lake, a popular fishing destination on the outskirts of Starkville, Miss., and maybe even rent a cabin for the night. Instead, within minutes of their arrival, the young black couple were facing down a white campground manager who pulled out a gun and told them to leave. A spokesman for Kampgrounds of America, a chain that oversees hundreds of commercial campgrounds nationwide, told The Washington Post on Tuesday that the property manager for the Starkville location had been fired. But for the Richardsons, the experience was made all the more harrowing — and somewhat ironic — by the fact that Franklin, a sergeant in the Army National Guard, had recently returned from a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, according to WCBI." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/29/black-couple-white-woman-gun-picnic/Already the tweets are saying "I'm sure it's not cuz they're black". Yeah, I'm sure if the NATIONAL GUARD guy and his wife had turned up for a picnic and were WHITE, she'd have pulled a gun on them too. KKKOA.

I saw that earlier. Good enough to serve our country, but apparently not good enough to visit the campgrounds where she worked. I’m glad she was fired, but I have to wonder how many other instances of racist behavior she exhibited and was reported for that didn’t result in her firing because they didn’t get this attention? Surely her first instance didn’t involve a weapon? No, chances are she’s been getting away with “lesser” racist behaviors and is feeling more and more emboldened.
What does KKKOA mean?

Not holding it against all of them, but any KOAs who hire this type of racist deserve this designation (I doubt her views were a secret to her co-workers). They fired her - but reportedly kept on her husband. So, I reserve the right to treat them as they act. We'll see.

Hate crimes increasing when we had a Black president should surprise absolutely no one, by the way. That's a direct reaction by white people to the idea of power being placed in the hands of anyone not white. That it increased while Barack Obama was president is direct evidence of white supremacy, not an argument that his presidency was somehow responsible. And then you add on the current rhetoric coming out of the White House, and welp. This board is wild sometimes. Wild, I tell ya. bingo. and the election of donald trump is the pendulum swinging as far opposite as possible. it's a direct reflection of having a black president, IMO.
