New FEC filings show that all of the $417,250 in monetary donations to a Super PAC called “Black Americans for a Better Future” comes from conservative white businessmen — including $400,000, or 96 percent of the total, from white billionaire hedge fund manager Robert Mercer.

Mercer, co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies on Long Island, is best-known politically for donating $11,000,000 to Keep the Promise I, a Super PAC backing Ted Cruz’s presidential run.
Beyond Mercer’s support of Black Americans for a Better Future and Ted Cruz, Mercer has a long and peculiar history of donations to political and philanthropic causes.

The Mercer Family Foundation has given over $1.4 million to the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, which is stockpiling huge amounts of human urine to “revolutionize the evaluation of personal chemistry.” In 2010 Mercer spent $600,000 in an effort to elect OISM’s co-founder Arthur Robinson to Congress. (OISM is eager to collect as much urine as possible, so if you would like to donate a sample of your own, the details are available here.)...more

pulling crap like this?

2. What the ever loving hell???

BABF appears to exist solely as a vehicle for Washington, D.C., consultant Raynard Jackson, who is African-American. Jackson is quoted on his firm’s website stating that “You have a fundamental right to pursue business interests with the least amount of interference from the government.” Jackson has elsewhere accused Barack Obama of “relentless pandering to homosexuals.”

Is it okay that I am 50 times more angry at the useful Negro that is allowing himself to be used by these psychopaths than I am at the psychopaths themselves??! Do Useful Negroes get paid? I hope it's worth it because it sure as hell seems to be a hell of alot of them around these days and I'm sure that it's a coincidence of the HIGHEST order that so many of them sit around spouting anti-Obama bullshit to their adoring -- and damn near all white -- fans.

5. His statement is lunacy, absurdity, rambling of a mad man

“You have a fundamental right to pursue business interests with the least amount of interference from the government.”

Bet he had a man crush on Reagan.

No, pursuing business pursuits un checked is how we got to the point where 20 Americans have the same wealth as 140 million combined

According to a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) America's 20 wealthiest people now own more wealth than the bottom half of the American population combined. IPS calculates the top 20 in the Forbes 400 richest list own more wealth than 152 million people in 57 million households.

6. He sounds like a raving, homophobic, Obama hating fool

And the fact that he has melanin makes him ever so useful. Like I said, I hope that all these Useful Negroes get paid for selling their souls.

3. Please forgive me for laughing at this

(Cruz? Rich white businessmen?). Good thing people are out kicking over rocks to see what's hiding under them.

because there are plenty of "Blacks4{insert candidate name here}" sites that are maintained by Not-Blacks.

[Number23]
