White Student Union

[Nate505]

Now I'm fairly liberal in most views, but what's going on in colleges right now is disgusting. Like this:

Now it's one thing if the professor made a racial slur against someone, but she was using it in an open discussion and not derogatorily (at least nobody has made that claim against her). And now a bunch of dumbass students want her fired? F Them. Freedom of speech at a University is critical to make the whole place work.

Are you denying they have the right?

rights are taken away when they infringe upon the rights of others. White unions celebrating America's white legacy and history do this precisely. The fact we are arguing for the existence of a white student group in 2015 is jarring.

Gonna go on a limb and assume that he thinks the students have every right to that union, given his right-wing stance on almost every other discussion he's been a part of that I've seen on this forum.

Wait, what? Smh...

They do have every right (in context of this discussion) to form that group. Just as other students can form groups for other races. To say other wise is extremely uninformed and foolish.

Is it a very dumb idea? Of course and I wouldn't join. But let's not act like they should be prevented from doing so.

I'm very proud of western civilization. I think humanity can celebrate our achievements. And I certainly don't advocate for racial shame. I think having a white student union is done intentionally to poke minorities with a stick, say "neener-neener" and puff up our chests. You want to act all smug, JAZZGASM, and insist that it's our right to act like buffoons, you won't get an argument from me, and you won't get me joining in, either.

Nicely done.

Any liberal would be disgusted by current trends. The illiberal left is out of control right now.

 

[JAZZGASM]

If you focus on helping the poor, or the disabled, or women, or any other disadvantaged group to which some white people belong, what would be the reason to focus only on the white members of that group?

Exactly the response I was hoping for. As we have discussed before, I do not think any group should focus help only based on race, but it is OK for non white groups to do so. As we have discussed before, I believe all people should be treated equally based on their situation, not their color. There are many very disadvantaged white people that will never have a chance. Who cares how many other white people have had an advantage? We have had this discussion before, and I do not think we need to do it again.

Whose definition?



White people already have the many good things white people have done celebrated, as a regular part of societal activities. White authors are the major subject of study in university literature departments. White leaders are the primary subject of study in history departments. I could continue this for a long time. What part of this heritage is in danger of disappearing?

1. The definition set forth by the US government, as crazy as that sounds.

2.While I uderstand they point, I did not realize my heritage had to be in danger in order to celebrate it. As I said above, if it is done out of hatevery or racism, it is not OK, but celebrating one's heritage is not automatically racist.

If anyone is acting smug, it is not me. I am simply pointing out the PC hypocrisy that exists.

No they don't. What an absurd statement. The authoritarian mind at work!

PC Principal must work there.

"Why is it always accepted that the existence of a black student union or an Asian student union or one for women, Jews, Muslims or anyone else is the routine business of the day, but the suggestion of a white student union is immediately painted as abhorrent?"

Interesting article. I looked for the quote from the beginning of OP's post in the article but couldn't find it. I'm not sure if the statement is Archie's or another individual's. I also clicked on the referenced original article to see if there was anything being mis-reported and everything seemed to be legit.

The quick answer that comes to mind is whether in the history of pro-white "organizations," has there ever been one that WASN'T at the consequence of other races? Meaning, are there any examples of groups claiming to be "pro white" that are not rooted in racism? I don't know of any but am always willing to learn new things.
