White Power!

Georgia State University’s official roster of more than 300 campus organizations includes everything from the Bengali Student Association to the Women’s Ultimate Frisbee Club. But one student group you won’t find on the list — the new White Student Union — is already making headlines nationwide.
Freshman Patrick Sharp says he launched the White Student Union this summer in order to recognize and appreciate white culture. As he told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “All we want to do is celebrate white identity. This is about being in touch with who you are as a white person and being proud of that.” Although the group has not been recognized by the university, Sharp says a handful of students have already joined.
It is unlikely that the union will receive a charter from the university. To do so, it would need to find a faculty advisor, which Sharp concedes would be difficult. What’s more, several students have already complained to the Atlanta school’s administration after seeing the club’s flyers posted around campus. While Sharp is aware that people will accuse his group of being racist, he tells the Constitution, “I’ve already heard some of that and I don’t care what they have to say.” He added, “Why is it when a white person says he is proud to be white he’s shunned as a racist?”
The university has taken no action to ban the group. According to the Constitution, Doug Covey, vice president for student affairs, responded to complaints by saying that the group had a right to exist and practice free speech. It will also be allowed to meet in common areas on campus....

Did you click through to the thread?
Sad, isn't it? It used to be called "Western Civ".
I remember when we were taught that in high school!
Those were the days!
Race has no taxonomic significance. It is archaic and meaningless.
There is the human species...and then you have subspecies.
I've seen the phrase "acting white" in modern discourse. It usually seems to reference acts of literacy, numerancy, and\or articulation. Not sure if that's related or not.
That is your opinion. Many Anthropologists disagree with you.
Wonder if one can get a degree in “White Studies” at GSU?
White Power!
Just so you will know, my use of the words white ‘pride’, instead of ‘power’, was deliberate.
How about the White Panthers?
I have seen it before. Right now, I do not think the people have the will go do it. I think the guy is right, the wolves are just biding their time, waiting for the time that they think they will have a distinct advantage. Then they will make their move. Then will the people have the will to use it. I still don't know. It hasn't happened yet, but I think I would rather meet you at Yorktown than Masada. I don't feel like committing suicide any time soon.
Anthropology is so cross threaded with sociology and pure socialism that I have doubts about calling it a real science!
Yep, I took a pre-PC course in anthropology and was very definitely taught that there are only three races and we know what they are. Of course, there are some humans of mixed race, but all these categories most PC types constantly discuss are ethnic groups and not racial groups.
“Why after 19 years of loyal marriage did he leave his wife? He said,’Because she was a n***** lover.’”
Agreed.
I’m mixed Italian, Norway and Asian. I’m fine either way.
I don’t know about the word pride’ as the fudgepackers adopted it.
I had the same experience as you, except I was told 4 races with sub-races below them.
Australoid
Caucasoid
Mongoloid
Negroid
According to most black race whores, Democrats, and the rest of the liberals, you can only be a racist if you are a member of a superior race.
Go mull that over.
I think even white blacks are included, especially since a scant few are “pure”— I’ve always wondered about an experiment like this, which seems pointed towards the viciously racist black culture that is emerging — and is getting worse. Why not have a white club and invite all colors to join? Serve White Soul Food, southern style. It’s the same as black soul food.
In psychology parlance, a homosexual "pride" parade is referred to as a "hall of mirrors".
