Charrise Lane said she chose to attend Florida A&M University to be surrounded by her own people. Now, because of her unpopular politics on campus, she feels alone.

Charrise Lane, a senior at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, wants to re-establish what would be the only active chapter of College Republicans at a historically Black college or university. There’s just one roadblock: She can’t find an adviser for the group to be recognized on campus.

According to FAMU guidelines, no student organization can become official without one.

“I’ve reached out to professors,” said Lane, a 25-year-old public relations major and registered Republican.

“The two that responded said they couldn’t do it,” she said, adding, “So it’s not like I’m not trying.”

    Yeah, well maybe you’d have better luck finding a sponsor for your club if the great black hope of the Republican party didn’t call himself a black Nazi who wanted slavery to be legal so he could own a couple of slaves.

        I mean maybe she just looked at Candace Owens and figured that was a viable career path.

        No, this is a calculated move. Her brain isn’t mush. She just lacks sympathy for others and is willing to sell her soul for a guaranteed financial future.

        I don’t think she’s an idiot. These seems like a very intelligent way for her to take an easy route of getting ahead through support from Republicans at the cost of her integrity, credibility, and dignity.

        She’s public relations major who just got you to look at a headline about her. I’d say she’s pretty smart, but lacking in morals and empathy.
