White supremacist activity on the rise on college campuses

Source: MSN/CBS News

"It seems clear that the extremists feel emboldened in this current political climate," said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.

"We've seen a change in the rhetoric and some of the worst impulses have moved from the margins to the mainstream," he said.

Greenblatt's group has tracked what it calls an "unprecedented" college recruitment drive by white nationalists -- groups such as American Vanguard, American Renaissance and Identity Europa. Two groups told Strassmann the timing is no coincidence.

Two Identity Europa members agreed to speak with CBS News, but neither would give us his real name. Both agreed about the Trump factor. "We've been riding this wave of Donald Trump's election, absolutely," one said. "He's the closest to us that we've ever had in recent memory, although we'd like him to go a bit further."

are lucky if they completed middle school. A GED in these circles pretty much guarantees a leadership position. These are the dregs of society, tying to convince those who value an education that the playing field is tilted against them because of "affirmative action". They'll succeed in some cases, because some students are raised in an atmosphere of hate and racism at home. However, joining a white supremacist organization will just about seal their fate academically. The leaders of these organizations know that advanced education is the enemy of hate and racism. They like them young, ignorant, and malleable.

because they can't handle America becoming great again

I doubt these assholes know that white people are 60% of Americans and declining. What are they going to do with the other 40% of us? Pretend we don't exist?

Trump's verbal diarrhea should put to rest any myths about the master race.

Sorry for the tone.

Just want to remind everyone who has said that time will save us as the generations turn over.

New pieces of Satan-shit are born every day.

I have always hated that trope. The idea that only old people are bigots is ageist and myopic.

has a dog whistling semi-literate, semi-intelligent front man posing as potus who can create hate like this and has intelligent hateful racists ACTUALLY RUNNING his government. 99.9% of his voting base wanted this to happen to put the brown people "back in their place" after 8 years of an AA true POTUS of all americans.

AmeriKKKans are spoiling for a literal fight to make ameriKKKa a white supremacist wet dream again.
