Breitbart Editor Milo Yiannopoulos Takes $100,000 for Charity, Gives $0

[Native]

Months after he was supposed to give away more than $100,000 for college scholarships, Milo Yiannopoulos says all of the money is still sitting in his bank account.

- Scholarships for white men only.
- The money is sitting in his personal bank account.

Yiannopoulos promised in January to create a college scholarship fund for “white men who wish to pursue their post-secondary education” that would be awarded in “early summer 2016.” The fund has raised somewhere between $100,000 and $250,000 to date, Yiannopoulos told The Daily Beast via email.

But the Yiannopoulos Privilege Grant has not filed any paperwork to become a charity in the United States. When asked if an application for tax-exempt status had been sent by his lawyers to the Internal Revenue Service, Yiannopoulos said, “I’ll check.”

While the group vowed that an application page would open on the website by the spring of 2016, it has yet to appear as of this writing. The grant’s website currently states that “applications are not yet open” and “please do not write to us if you are a prospective Grant applicant.”

1. Okay, he's probably just ripping off other white supremecists. Still....

....he's a disgusting excuse for a human being.

2. He should be expelled from the US

5. On what grounds, exactly?

[mwrguy]

8. He travels around inciting violence and hatred

See any campus where he speaks.

[NuclearDem]

9. No, he doesn't.

The only violence at his events have been from protesters who have either made an absolute mess of the room he was speaking in or got up on stage and physically assaulted him because he hurt their delicate feelings.

Given how expansive the definition of "hate speech" has expanded on campuses to essentially include anything that gives anyone a sad ever, I really don't care about those complaints.

10. Certainly no agenda, narrative or bias there...

"Because he hurt their delicate feelings..."

11. Yes, I'm generally against this new wave of censorship on college campuses.

The one that operates under the guise of protecting people's feelings.

Yiannopoulos is an asshole, but I'm pretty disgusted how a bunch of hyper-sensitive, emotionally-stunted children can label anything they find uncomfortable as "hate speech" and use that as justification to drive opposing ideas off campus, and frankly, anyone who respects the basic pillars of Western society and liberal democracy should be as well.

3. Learned from Trunp, lots of money donated to veterans, Trump forgot to pass the money to the vets.

4. Milo Yiannopoulos wins scholarship contest!

The first annual Milo Yiannopoulos Scholarship was awarded to Milo Yiannopoulos for his essay, What I would do with a scholarship

The judge of the contest, Milo Yiannopoulos, said that this was the best essay received but added that no other essays had been submitted

"We need to study how to better publicize the essay contest and scholarship" said Milo Yiannopoulos Scholarship Fund trustee, Milo Yiannopoulos

He said the Fund has hired a consultant, Milo Yiannopoulos, to study this question. The consultant is expected to report his findings to the Fund in 2017 or 2018, depending on how long the study takes

The winner plans to attend Yiannopoulos University when it opens next year. He expects to pursue a degree in fundraising and hopes after graduation to be hired by his hero, fundraiser Milo Yiannopoulos

7. That asshole is horrible on every level.

Adam Carolla is doing a podcast not far from where I live and I was going to go until I found out Milo was going to be the special guest. Nope.
