A black college student in the Midwest who pretended to be a Trump supporter shunned by her family for her beliefs says she ended up collecting 150,000 MAGA bucks before being exposed as someone with good sense and moral character. Call it Operation Lets Get That Stale Bread.

The woman, who gave the name Karen, posted her fictional plight under her Twitter handle, @chckpeas, with a picture of herself in a MAGA hat that she says she found outside. I snapped a couple of pictures in it, before my head started burning... and threw it away, she told ELLE.com.

Like many online tales of woe, Karen's story came with a link to a GoFundMe, which quickly collected what she reports as in the neighborhood of $150,000 from folks who thought they were paying an early adopter of the Blexit. While this is certainly the scam of the year, according to the woman it started as a joke. I saw that other black girl that posted about being a black Trump supporter, she said, and I wanted to make fun of her. Her tweet was shared over a thousand times throughout Unseasoned Twitter. Watching the GoFundMe explode with Confederate dollars, she says, was just an unexpected bonus.

[The Republican Party] needs black faces, the Twitter prankster reasoned, so they throw money at any black person that says they support Trump so that people stop thinking of them as the 'racist party' But its never going to happen. Who needs coffee to wake up when theres tea this hot? They also fail to realize that they dont have to outwardly hate black people to be racist, because they still create policies and laws that keep black people poor and unsupported. Especially the three strikes law that they love to uphold, and it does nothing but send poor black and brown people to jail for the rest of their lives. But were supposed to ignore that and say that suddenly theyre not racist because they paid a black girls tuition? Its laughable.

When Dog Whistle Twitter started to suspect the Elizabeth Jennings of Resistance was not who she seemed, the GoFundMe was shut down, but not before she could cha-cha slide away with the loot like the Hamburglar at a drive-through. The Trumpies saw my old tweets about Obama and realized maybe I might have been lying. But I was faster and took everything before it could be taken from me. We stan a hasty check-cashing legend.

Are Republicans under the impression, that if black people join their party, that they will get to order them around like it was before the Civil War?

Literally the ONLY way the three strikes law could be considered "racist", is if you're coming from a position of already assuming black people (or whatever race you think it's racist against) are criminals. Claiming it's racist makes you a racist.

What about just looking at the impact?

http://articles.latimes.com/1996-03-05/news/mn-43270_1_african-american-men

Two years after it was signed into law, California's controversial "three strikes and you're out" law has resulted in an imprisonment rate for African Americans that is more than 13 times that of whites, according to a new study.

I'm confused. Are you trying to prove that black people commit more crimes than white people?

She says that her lawyer told her that she's all good. So we'll see how it goes for her. Says she also gave most of it back cause she felt sorry for the Deplorables. Probably felt like she was shooting fish in a barrel.

On one hand, people who pull that kind of crap in general really should go to jail.

On the other, most don't, so there's no reason this specific case should be any different.

Because it's a black girl who ripped off Trump supporters. Which makes it a feel good story for people who hate Trump and his supporters.

One way to look at it is sneaky, lying fraudster taking advantage of well-meaning donors who want to help her out of a tough situation that they empathize with.

Another is a clever, Robin Hood-esque black girl bravely getting the upper hand over evil racists and neo-Nazis.

Definitely the latter. The only reason why this broke college student got any attention at all was because she was pretending to BLEXIT. Nothing wrong with out-scamming a bunch of scammers.

Withdrawing before being shut down doesn't really protect her from much. If GoFundMe decides to refund everything, she would owe that money.

Still makes me chuckle how, as of like 2015, she was a huge anti-Trump person who constantly talked shit on him, and now has completely "reinvented" herself simply to make money and not a single person on her side now calls her out about it. It's like, so transparently false yet because it serves their same interests no one really cares.

Incorrect. A lot of black criminals are told by shitty public defenders to take plea deals that are either bad deals or even in situations where they're innocent. It's self-perpetuating racism, stemming from instances of these folks assuming and/or being led to assume that they will be seen as guilty and will be convicted, so the mindset becomes "I'm innocent but I'll be going to jail anyway so why not just take the deal and do less time?" In 3 strike states, this can cause life in prison for "3 strikes" that were not necessarily even strikes at all, but a result of systemic failure and lack of faith in the system.

You can take your ignorant "you're the racist!" post and go back to time out with it. Tiamat would be shaking her head at you and backing away slowly if she saw you posting stuff like that.
