More than 30 purported ‘White Student Unions’ pop up across the country

A wave of whiteness sweeping the country, fighting back against diversity, black terrorism, and political correctness!

Ah yes, sounds great and wonderful to some, but there appears to be a problem.

These "white student unions" don't seem to actually exist outside of Facebook. Indeed, they don't seem to have any actual members, and the pages are not actually connected to any existing groups at any colleges.


Drat! Organized racism towards folks again has been limited a few internet trolls. Oh well, maybe next time Daily Stormer fans.

Last Friday night, the Union of White NYU Students, a “community” on Facebook, posted its first status update.

Linking to a student-run blog addressing diversity issues at New York University, the union’s Facebook admin mused, “What does ‘diversity’ mean other than ‘not white’? I’m not sure there is an answer to this. Is the word ‘diversity’ itself a discriminatory term against whites?”

Subsequent posts expressed sympathy for Rachel Dolezal, called studies of white supremacy “dehumanizing” and iterated that the page is “about celebrating whiteness, not denigrating others.”

At around the same time, similar pages emerged in connection with other colleges in the U.S. and Canada — at the University of California Berkeley, Swarthmore College, the University of Missouri and the University of British Columbia. As of Tuesday morning, there are roughly 30 Facebook pages purporting to represent some form of a “White Students Union,” all of which were created within the past few days, according to a user on Medium who referred to an online spreadsheet of the pages.

Several of the pages feature the same statement of purpose, beginning with a welcome to “students of European descent (and allies)” and concluding with a “vision” of a future in which “every ethnic group has the right to organize and represent themselves and their interests.”

Despite the NYU group’s mention of “weekly meetings,” observers have speculated that these newly formed unions are largely fake, existing only in the realm of social media and without a real presence on the campuses to which they claim to belong.

“These White Student Union accounts are fake — or at least, the on-campus clubs they claim to represent are,” the Daily Beast reports. “Anyone can make a Facebook page for a group at a college they do not attend.”

NYU spokesman Matt Nagel said in a statement to NYULocal that the organization was never registered at the university and that the Facebook page was using the school’s logo illegally and without permission.

“We reject — and we call on others reject — efforts such as this to derail or distort candid, thoughtful discourse on race,” Nagel said.

Andrew Anglin, who runs the blog the Daily Stormer, which has been described as a “neo-Nazi website,” wrote in an e-mail to The Washington Post that he has been encouraging the formation of such groups for years, though he denies being directly involved with their sudden rise over the weekend.

While many have called the people behind the Facebook groups “trolls,” Anglin’s e-mail betrayed not a trace of irony about their mandates.

“Whites need to organize and protect their interests in the face of rising Black terrorism,” he wrote. “The goal of a White Student Union would be to push back against this, and also to show Whites across the country that it is okay to be White, it is okay to defend your history and your civilization.”

Anglin’s e-mail is riddled with racist invective against “Blacks,” including a claim that letting African Americans into universities is “charity.”

His response matches the abrasive tone of the Daily Stormer, which is among the few Web sites that have been linked to Dylann Roof, who is facing both state and federal charges arising from the mass shooting at a Charleston, S.C., church.

[Dylann Roof was active on white supremacist Web forum, group says]

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks white extremist groups, has described the blog as a “neo-Nazi” and “white supremacist website.”

The White Students Union wave appears to have started with the “Illini White Students Union,” which accused the Black Lives Matter movement of “disrupting student daily life” and “marginalizing” white students.

The original page was taken down within hours of its formation, but another version went up shortly afterward.

Administrators at Berkeley and Penn State University have issued statements noting that they have requested the pages be taken down.

“This page had no affiliation with our University and we found it disturbing and uncivil,” the statement from Penn State read.

A letter signed by the chancellor of UC Berkeley iterated that the page appeared to be “a part of a national effort, and did not emanate” from the campus.

“While UC Berkeley honors First Amendment rights,” the letter continued, “we do not endorse this attempt to create conflict and make light of the efforts of activists, locally and nationally, who have worked hard to hold us all accountable for providing a campus climate where every student is safe, welcomed and respected.”

The user on Medium encouraged students on affected campuses to “troll the trolls” by responding to “white supremacist hate with dumb Vines” and blanketing the groups’ Facebook walls with cat video

 

How is a White student union organized racism?

 

The fact that anything white only is instantly branded racist and black only instantly branded as diversity, is reason enough to call all of it RACISM. You can't pick and choose. Its ALL or nothing. This subjective racism taking over the social fabric , escalated since 08, is disturbing. The fact that our educators can't tell the difference is why our country will crumble.

 

$100 says #BLM or LaRaza is behind these fake student unions. Just trying to justify what they are doing for real.

 

Such a tactic is right out of "Rules for Radicals" and is certainly a possibility. Anything labeled as "white" is equated to "racist" and therefore "evil", "bigoted", "KKK" and a whole host of other hypersensitive PC terms. It's where society has decided to go.

 

I want you to answer RP12's question, which was:

Because your precious Black Lives Matter people are going around colleges across the nation hurling racist insults at Whites, physically assaulting then, harassing them and interrupting their education, and you don't think that's wrong.

So why is it that you think its ok for Blacks to do but not theoretically for Whites, theoretically because its not happening.

MOD EDIT - Rule 3

 

Amazing how white student unions are racist, but there's no issue with Hispanic, Asian, and black groups on campus.

 

That is under the umbrella of "diversity".

 

Hispanic, Asian, black, Islander, etc type of groups on campus have been around LONG before all of this. It's not new.

 

Seems Diverse and White do not mix...

 

So it shouldn't be a big deal if whites have one of their own.

 

The KKK has been around a long time too, I guess they're not racist, using your logic?

 

Any 2-year old can see the KKK is racist and has always been that way, so that's not the point.

 

Any club that excludes people based on their race is discriminatory by definition. If we're going to allow clubs exclusively for minorities than they have to be allowed for whites as well. I don't understand how organizing clubs only for blacks is a thoughtful discourse on racism but organizing a club exclusively for whites is distorting the discourse on racism.

 

So what makes a White group racist but no other group?

So what you are saying is the calls for diversity from these groups is the complete opposite....

 

Interesting story. Would be interesting to know if these groups where started by the same people. The far right still uses the same Strategia della tensione tactics one could think. It is of course easy if people are ignorant.
It seems like a lot of people focused on the wrong details of the story though. Surprise...

 

Typical liberal hate towards another race for exercising their 1st amendment rights. Division is the liberal meme of conquest

 

So what is the point of saying "Hispanic, Asian, black, Islander, etc type of groups on campus have been around LONG before all of this. It's not new."?

 

These college groups don't promote hatred and never have, nor have they lynched black people and burned crosses.

 

So a group based on race is ignorant can i get your admittance of this?

 

I'm guessing because all minorities in this country have had a LONG history of being treated like (*)(*)(*)(*), multiple times.

 

But these new white unions have? Keep painting, your almost into the corner.

 

I personally don't care but this would be like having a straight parade

 

Any 2 yr old can see these other orgs are racist as well. It takes years of indoctrination to convince people they are not.

 

Well for example Assata Shakur joined the BLA straight out of college.. I am sure its a coincidence though....
