Student organizes 'White Student Union' at Georgia State University

A new student club at Georgia State University is attracting more attention than most new student clubs do -- just the club's name is stirring up controversy.

The first-year student at Georgia State who organized the club is calling it the "White Student Union."

The organizer, Patrick Sharp, insisted Wednesday night that no one should have any cause for worry or concern.

Sharp said he has heard objections from students about the club's name, and he understands why some are objecting.

But he's hoping no one will pre-judge him or his club.

"I decided to organize a White Student Union," he said, simply.

He started posting flyers this summer on the downtown Atlanta campus of Georgia State University.

Sharp said when he started his first year during this summer term, he noticed there were many other student clubs devoted to various racial and ethnic interests.

...

"I sort of took it upon myself, kind of with inspiration from Matthew Heimbach's group in Maryland, at Towson University," which is also called the White Student Union, to form a similar club at GSU, Sharp said.

It's easy to just say "oh he's just a naive freshman he'll learn eventually".

But do you realize that many ADULTS even college graduates "think" like Sharp (Dull would be a more fitting last name)?

Speaking of Heimbach, this guy has debated Thom Hartmann both on the Radio:



And on TV:



In another RT TV appearance he even cited the Greek neo-Nazi GOLDEN DAWN Party as an inspiration!



Patrick! Looking up to Heimbach as an inspiration to organize college students is like looking up to Jerry Sandusky as an inspiration of how to treat children! WAKE THE HELL UP!

It makes a "shocker" headline, but my guess is the interest will peter out.

Isn't it great to be able to drive a nice car without getting pulled over, or isn't it great to be able to go jogging without people thinking that you're running away from a crime scene.....

large presence in international students as well. Whites may soon be the minority there.

Not that that makes a "White Student Union" any less reprehensible. The article I read this morning said they intend to "discuss issues that effect White students, such as immigration and Affirmative Action". Marinate on that for a minute.
