About 15 students wrote messages championing white power, posted pictures of guns and encouraged recruitment so they can complete their mission
The alt-right movement known for white supremacist views and its overtly racist ideology has gained traction during the divisive US presidential race.
A Nazi-themed Facebook group that called for the execution of Jews and African Americans has led to the expulsion of five Boulder, Colorado, high school students in an unusual case of alt-right hate speech spreading to teens in a liberal city.
About 15 students participated in a 4th Reichs Official Group Chat on Facebook, according to a Boulder police report, which said members discussed killing all Jews and [N-words] and encouraged each other to recruit more members so they can complete their mission.
Members wrote messages championing WHITE POWER!, posted pictures of guns, called a firearm a [N-word] BLASTER, used derogatory terms for gay people, joked about rape memes, declared that they must lynch the [N-words], and mocked Mexicans, copies of the groups chats showed.
The controversy culminated in expulsions at Boulder Preparatory high school but comes at a time when the alt-right movement known for white supremacist views and its overtly racist ideology has gained traction during the divisive US presidential race.
-------------------------
No it has not gained traction because of a divisive US presidential race. It has gained traction because one candidate is fueling this hate among the ReTHUG base - Groper Don the Con.
