    In a move likely to spark outcry, a student group calling itself the White Student Union at Maryland’s Towson University intends to enact night-time "patrols" throughout the school’s Baltimore County campus.

    While student patrols or after-hours chaperones are not unheard of at American universities, the fact that the plan has been announced by what is already an infamous, Whites-only group is certain to not sit well in a city like Baltimore, which boasts a 60% African American population.(Does it - Jack?????)


    White Student Union (WSU) president Matthew Heimbach (or Commander Heimbach, as he is referred to on the group’s blog), informed Towson’s student paper, The Towerlight, that the group’s patrols will be concerned with on-campus safety walks, and members will be equipped with flashlights. While Heimbach has said that none of the patrollers will carry weapons, female participants will carry pepper spray and have reportedly been enrolling in self-defense classes.


    Student review website College Prowler has rated Towson as “C+” on safety, placing the 20,000-plus student campus in the bottom quartile among US schools.


    As the WSU has been unable to find a faculty adviser to take part, the group is not University affiliated. Regardless, Towson has allowed it to continue meeting, and has evidently used the school’s facilities to that end in the past. WSU’s website states that its mission aim is “to create an avenue for people to participate in political, cultural, educational and social events to celebrate European heritage.”

    During Towson’s fall semester, Heimbach rented a school meeting rooms to host a lecture on “how diversity is not a strength” with speaker Jared Taylor, president of the New Century Foundation, and an advocate of “racial realism” - a pesudo-scientific system of racial classification that advocates for segregation.


    It's not the first time the WSU has made headlines for its activities. A number of members recently attended the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, one of the preeminent yearly gatherings of conservatives from around the US in Washington, DC.


    At the conference, WSU participated in a panel entitled “Trump the Race Card: Are You Sick and Tired of Being Called a Racist and You Know You’re Not One?” and were vocal in their promotion of “the white vote” as a cornerstone of the Republican party.


    A lengthier interview was posted by ThinkProgress with one of WSU’s members, Scott Terry, in which he was asked if he’d “accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites.” Terry stated that he would be “fine with that.”


    The Daily Caller has reported that members of WSU have been recently spending time at local gun ranges to “sharpen their skills,” though Heimbach stresses this is not being conducted in “a military way.”

    this sure will be an outrage, just like any other group with a specific race in mind also causes outrages. Like black students unions, and latino unions, asians.. no wait, it's only bad when whites do it, sorry I forgot.

    God forbid one of the patrolman happens to catch a non-white student committing a criminal act of some kind. Jesse and Al will be all over that, Obama will comment about how the the patrolmen acted stupidly.

    Groups set up to spread awareness of the plight of minority ethnic groups who are routinely discriminated against have a legitimate place. Groups set up as a racist backlash against minority groups by the majority ethnic group in the country have no rightful place. Similar to how the "Men's rights movement" is a ridiculous insult to the feminist movement - rather than trying to advancing awareness of men's issues, this group just spends it's time attacking feminist groups.

    This "white student movement" clearly isn't some sort of 'white equivalent' of the groups representing ethic minorities. The ethnic minority organizations actually cooperate with each other, they don't spend their time attacking the "white race". This is a group set up for the specific purpose of hating on ethnic minorities.

    Cant the majority be discriminated against? By the way, whites were in minority in baltimore said the article. As much as i want all people to have the same rights i do believe that has already been achieved and that we are now pushing it too far in the other direction; going after the majority. There is a need for mens and whites rights movements because they are regularly targeted by the state for discrimination.

    You know Jack... This is come crazy stuff but also not unprecedented.

    They can patrol. They can dress up like the kkk even and I wouldn't force them not to. But as soon as they commit a crime then they get held to account. And I'm not sure about this state, but some states have "hate crime" laws where if your violent crime is racially motivated, it can mean a more severe sentence.

    But that's the least of their concerns. Baltimore has some extremely rough areas and some very deadly Black and Latino gangs, and at least at one point in recent years it was the murder capitol of the country.

    In other words, these kids aren't too bright. They may very easily be shot up doing this. And if they don't even have guns? They'd be screwed!

    Seeing how one of their members said this
    Very rarely do you get to hear what some people are thinking, but when you do, their actions make sense. Do you agree with his statement?

    How do you think MEChA feels about those who do not belong in their group?

    Say that one of the patrolmen did catch a non-white student breaking into a car, or prevented a non-white student from assaulting someone, would the patrolman still be the bad guy in you eyes?

    In some situations the minority are doing the discriminating, like in apartheid South Africa. But not in America. In America white people, as well as being the majority, also hold most of the political power.

    The rationale behind minority organizations is to combat widespread societal discrimination.

    you're full of strawmen this morning huh? Instead of "what if's" why don't you answer my question I posted for you earlier?

    by the way, If anyone catches someone doing a criminal act, then they are helping society.

    I understand that Latino is not a race, but do you really take their disclaimer at face value? Under what circumstances could your 'typical white guy' join this organization?

    As for your question, why would you even wonder if I agree with the member's statement? What I'm wondering, is if you'd ignore the fact that they caught someone who's non-white in act of committing crime, simply because one of their members held the stated view.

    Don't worry, you already answered the question. And no, you don't need to wonder, because I already stated this
    so, at this point you are just deflecting.

    You have no idea, nobody cares for a black, latino, asian, or white group to be formed.

    They sure do hold most political power but they use it to discriminate against themselves. Im not only talking about discrimination from others, most actually come from other whites. None of the pro minority racist crap wouldve gotten through if whites didnt support it. The situation now is that the obly race actually being discriminated against legally are whites, and i want that to end. Minoroties might suffer from racism on a private level but i dpnt care about that. Stare shouldnt either

    what? are you saying a white students union wouldn't raise some eyebrows? I'm not talking about the legality of it obviously, but the public attitude; the double standard.

    You have racial and sex quotas (think it's called that) in the US too don't you? Where some spots in say a university are reserved for blacks and/or women, or where the requirements are lower for those groups et cetera. hmm?

    The only reason a "white" student union would raise an eyebrow would be due to their members saying stupid stuff like what was posted earlier in the OP. As I challenged you earlier, can you provide "ONE" example where a minority student group said their race was better than another race?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yea, we still have racial and sex quotas in the US. By most of the posts on this board, I say they are still needed.
