Clubs For All Races, Sexual Orientation Are OK Except White Heterosexuals

Campuses across America already have black student unions. And “gay” student unions. And Hispanic student unions and Asian students unions and others.
And now they are seeing more and more “white student unions,” and progressives are coming unglued.
Some even say they need counseling over the trauma.
But one prominent black leader says it’s no big deal.
“I don’t know why they’re concerned about that,” said Jesse Lee Peterson, a civil rights leader who is the founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. He also is the author of the new book,“The Antidote: Healing America From the Poison of Hate, Blame, and Victimhood.”
“I think the university officials should treat the white student union in the same manner that they treat the black student union. If they’ve allowed a black student union to happen, then they should allow the white student union, because blacks have no right to discriminate against white people.”
The issue is that the progressives in academia have had their pond of complacency disturbed by the creation of the newest trend on campus, those white student unions.
More than 30 Facebook pages claim chapters have popped up around the country. University leaders have reacted with outrage, and some left-wing students are so offended they are requiring counseling.
Peterson says it’s about time.
“What do you expect to happen?” he asked. Given how white students are treated on college campuses, Peterson says he is “not surprised” about the formation of explicitly white student groups.
“White young people are not going to sit around, day in and day out, year in and year out, and allow themselves and their children to be beat up, falsely accused, raped, and robbed by black people,” said Peterson. “They’re just not going to continue to allow this to happen. They’re going to protect themselves – and it’s starting to happen. And this isn’t retaliating – they’re just protecting themselves from these people.”
He said there’s a point even if the organizations are set up to satirize others.
Breitbart reports some of the groups are completely legitimate, with non-whites among the members and even founders.
Others appear to only exist online, as part of a “trolling” operation by activists frustrated with what they see as an anti-white campus climate and hypocritical identity politics.
Tactics include issuing overwrought lists of “demands,” parodying the extreme concessions Black Lives Matter student groups have claimed at universities around the country.
One left-wing group, the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, has stated, “These so-called unions are a dangerous racist development, and must be opposed.”
But other commentators think the white student union movement is “a natural reaction to the sanctioned self-segregation by other racial and ethnic groups on campus.”
Jack Cashill, a WND columnist and the author of “Scarlet Letters: The Ever-Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism,” said, “The American university absolutely deserves the white student union movement.”
He sees it as satire.
“Right now, the WSUs are in the parody stage, which is where all such programs belong,” he told WND. “In fact, the National Lampoon was doing ‘White Studies’ parodies more than 40 years ago, and James O’Keefe and his pals did a brilliant Alinsky-style ‘Irish Cultural Studies’ takedown on the Rutgers campus about 10 years ago. Ridicule is a potent weapon. We cannot allow the universities to ban it.”
Colin Flaherty, author of “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return to Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It,” said he loved the idea of white student unions.
“Not because they are racial separatists – which I loathe. These groups are not about white supremacy, they are about theater – drawing attention to the ridiculous racial paradigm of racial separation that is enshrined in almost every major college campus in the country. And is doing so much damage. And this year, black college students are taking it to a new level, with new and even more ridiculous demands for special treatment based on race and racial grievance.
“I can think of no better way than dealing with these grievance mongers than by mocking them and exposing the absurd nature of their demands, and the even more absurd ways that college administrators pander to them.”
Flaherty stated he supports the movement as long as it is focused on “theater” and “satire.”
“Many of the students involved in this white student movement recognize that racial separation and special treatment by race is the problem, not the solution,” said Flaherty.
He believes conservatives need to confront the “ridiculous racial grievance industry that is now embedded in most college campuses.”
Peterson says the best way to do that is to simply ignore charges of racism.
“Ignore them!” he exclaimed. “Then they’ll go away because the illusion will start to fade away. So when these blacks pretend that they were called the ‘N word’ or they were discriminated against, ignore them. They’re spoiled children.”
Flaherty also blasted a campus climate that seemingly rewards groundless complaints of racism.
“Because of the wild and baseless allegations of racism that black students are throwing around college campuses like passes to a frat party, some people are starting to ask the question: how did these students with so little regard for learning, so little regard for the … expression of ideas, ever get into these colleges in the first place?” asked Flaherty. “They are finding that students are encouraged in their entrance essay to tell their racial grievance as if it is some kind of credit towards admission. And indeed it is.”
Nonetheless, Flaherty argues Americans are becoming impatient with the disorders on college campuses. And he says the white student unions are an indication the tipping point may be near.
“I’m really looking forward to the next administration doing something about the ever-present racial pandering so popular on so many campuses,” he told WND.
