This may not even be real, and if it is it may be squashed like a bug, but it’s sure to spur a discussion of demographic craziness on America’s college campuses. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, somebody (still anonymous at this point, apparently) put up a Facebook page announcing the proposed formation of a White Student Union which purports to specifically counter the activities of Black Lives Matter demonstrations on campus. Needless to say, this is going to set some people’s hair on fire. (Washington Post)

A Facebook page ostensibly created for an audience at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign called “Illini White Students Union” has drawn fire after it characterized the national Black Lives Matter movement as “terrorism.”

Created Wednesday after a protest sympathetic to Black Lives Matter, the page declared itself “for white students of University of Illinois to be able to form a community and discuss our own issues as well as be able to organize against the terrorism we have been facing from Black Lives Matter activists on campus,” as the Daily Illini reported.

The page did not last long in its original incarnation, but was taken down after three hours. It has since been revived here....

Waste of time. I’d wager they’d be hard pressed to find too many white students willing to make their lives so miserable - make themselves targets, basically - to make a political point.

What’s so bad about that? I wish we had a White/Asian Caucus in Congress to highlight how ridiculous the black set-asides of the Black Racial Caucus are.

Why shouldn’t there be a “whites only” safe space at colleges so that those who “identify as white” have a place to get away from the constant offensive haranguing, harassment and bullying by privileged racist students and faculty members “of color” who threaten and intimidate white students and make them feel bad about their melanin-deficient skin tone?

Pretty much all of the so called "racist" events of late have been shown to be phony. The person behind this page is anonymous, so probably more of the same.

Having a white this an hipanic that doesn’t get anybody anywhere. Disallow all racist magazines, organizations etc. In my mind “Black Enterprise” magazine, BET etc are classic examples of pure racism.

Long past time for whites to start their own “civil rights” group.
Since it’s ok for others, I don’t see an issue.

After watching the video of the BLM mob storming through the Dartmouth school library, cornering and screaming at white students and chasing them out, I suspect that it might be time for a White Students Union to advocate for safe spaces for whites.

You are inserting logic into the race discussion and there is no room for that.

yep, plus it would kill any hopes for a meaningful career... For libs and dems, being part of the Black Lives Matter movement is a career enhancement.

The idea here is to make this movement as ridiculous as possible while poking as much fun at the left as we can. Throw it back in their faces tenfold. That’s the only thing the left understands.

I think tonight or tomorrow nite on History channel there is going to be a ridiculous concert to bring about awareness of race. To wipe out racism.

Mostly white artists from what I could gather. Maybe not I am not sure.

Just slippery slope folks!
