Another day, another dumbass report from BuzzFeed. This one is especially comical, as it deal with kids and their thoughts on Donald Trump’s candidacy. Most sane people would blame teachers and parents for their misconceptions about Trump, but not BuzzFeed.
Even though the survey questions didn’t identify any candidates, out of 5,000 total comments more than 1,000 mentioned Donald Trump. Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, or Hillary Clinton were named less than 200 times.
“My students are terrified of Donald Trump,” said a middle school teacher with a large student body of African-American Muslims. “They think that if he’s elected, all black people will get sent back to Africa.”
More than two-thirds of the teachers reported that children of immigrants and Muslims expressed concerns about what might happen to them or their families after the election. More than one-third reported seeing an increase in anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment.
“Students are hearing more hate language than I have ever heard at our school before,” said a high school teacher in Helena, Montana.
Another teacher who responded to the survey said a fifth-grader told a Muslim student “that he was supporting Donald Trump because he was going to kill all of the Muslims if he became president!”
The report was authored by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which isn’t surprising, considering they are usually at the forefront of bogus reports like this. They’re whole schtick is labeling people and organizations “hate groups,” and ever since Trump’s campaign began, they’ve had a preoccupation with the Manhattan billionaire. I guess anything goes when it comes to drumming up donations and media attention.

Maybe, instead of letting kids repeat talking points for your report, you could launch some sort of campaign to educate them? Or, and here’s another crazy thought, parents and teachers could do their job and keep their children based in reality?
Nah, what am I thinking. Then the SPLC wouldn’t have any Trump hits to write and BuzzFeed wouldn’t have specious clickbait to peddle.

And who can we thank for this surreal perceptions, surely not the mainstream media that has been delighting itself with being as biased as it can with reporting/not reporting stuff around Trump right?
Same media owned by the same globalist elite people that also owns all the politicians via donations except Trump.
It’s almost as if their interests were being put before the well being of a well informed and healthy democracy.
But that would sound like a crazy conspiracy.
The southern poverty law center is a complete joke. Wasn’t this the same group that labeled the MRM a hate group?
Yep. And preemptively called white pride groups racist and supremacist.
Do they think that all the Palestinians in Israel should be sent to Jordan or Gaza? Or should they be allowed to be full Israeli citizens?
If they really think that the teacher didn’t do his job properly and created drones rather than thinking adults.
Wow, just wow. Do people even listen anymore to anything or do they just shovel the MSM shit into their gaping holes…wait, nevermind rhetorical question…
Fucking, just wow…I’m speechless at the stupid…and I thought I’d seen it all but no, internetz you amaze me daily…
SPLC? – say no more.
Sorry but my first evil thought is “Well, we shouldn’t disappoint them then”.
But yeah arguing is hard because almost all of the talking points are so out of reality. Even my mom who is scared of Donald Trump was disgusted by the “Donald Trump wants to jail every woman who gets an abortion” as complete bullshit. And that is probably one of what 20 themes running right now that have no basis in what was said or in reality.
These people are morons in these college campuses. Trump has no power to send citizens of this back anywhere. These people are mindnumbingly stupid.
If nobody has seen them, I HIGHLY suggest viewing Stefan Molyneux’s series of videos debunking the hysteria and misinformation surrounding Trump and his campaign.
There’s no shortage of that stuff out there. The problem is liberals will never watch any of it.
I’m glad that most kids don’t know about politics until around 15 (at least, that’s what it seems). I was introduced to this cycle in 4th grade, when I watched Obama become president on TV, and it somehow got hammered into me that the reason why he wasn’t president sooner is because he’s black. Glad I could shake that off quickly. Then a few years later, I was called a racist for not supporting Trump in his reelection (but one of my oldest friends, too).
Please re-read you last two sentences. I don’t think you mean Trump. LOL
I hope not he’s my canidate. Trump 2016! Make our Country GREAT again!
Oh shit, I meant Obama!
You have to understand the culture and areas. In these areas like Chicago’s East and West sides they are very secluded. They grew up hearing a tale of how things are and that is the truth you cannot question, and you don’t question it unless you want to be a successful ‘Uncle Tom.’ Most don’t end up leaving their “block” when they do its typically to another area flooded with the same groups of people that left the previous area.
In Chicago Englewood schools it is taught the evil Republican White man is the evil of all mankind and is the reason why Englewood is so run down. Like most “hoods” there are no Republicans in local Government and have little to do with the state of these failing cities.
Those who spin the tales are the local Baptist Preachers who spin tales. Like the one with Gov. Rauner blocking all funding because he refuses to sign the Budget. You listen to one sided stations like WVON they will tell you hes the guy holding things up. What they don’t tell you is the IL General Assembly as a Super majority in the House and Senate and can over ride the Gov at any time they want.
Plus not to mention the Nation of Islam which HQ is on the East Side of Chicago which is not real Islam but rather a cult that believes people like me (Or any child father by a devil aka white man) were created by an evil Scientist name Yakub and that Louis Farrakhan controls a cloaked spaceship over 71st and Stoney Island called, ‘The Mothership’ lol
i kind of wonder when the political activism against trump masquerading as journalism is going to get someone killed.
Trust the SPLC to be filling people’s heads with idiocy like this.
“high information voters” = spoon fed opinions from comedy central
