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 Cruzs presidential run. BABF appears to exist solely as a vehicle for Washington, D.C., consultant Raynard Jackson, who is African-American. Jackson is quoted on his firms 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. At an event in November 2015 at the National Press Club, which cost BABF $13,252.79 for the venue and catering, Jackson said that Having well-trained, credible, experienced African-Americans constantly challenging the liberal orthodoxy in the media will create a tectonic shift in the perception of the Republican Party within the Black community. Other donations to BABF [include] $10,000 from Keller Investment Properties of Utah, whose CEO is the white Scott Keller, a member of Mitt Romneys donor network, [and] $5,000 from the very white Marc Stanley Goldman.
