Last Friday night, the Union of White NYU Students, a “community” on Facebook, posted its first status update.

Linking to a student-run blog addressing diversity issues at New York University, the union’s Facebook admin mused, “What does ‘diversity’ mean other than ‘not white’? I’m not sure there is an answer to this. Is the word ‘diversity’ itself a discriminatory term against whites?”

Subsequent posts expressed sympathy for Rachel Dolezal,  called studies of white supremacy “dehumanizing” and iterated that the page is “about celebrating whiteness, not denigrating others.”

At around the same time, similar pages emerged in connection with other colleges in the U.S. and Canada — at the University of California Berkeley,Swarthmore College, the University of Missouri  and the University of British Columbia. As of Tuesday morning, there are roughly 30 Facebook pages  purporting to represent some form of a “White Students Union,” all of which were created within the past few days, according to a user on Medium  who referred to an online spreadsheet of the pages.

Several of the pages feature the same statement of purpose, beginning with a welcome to “students of European descent (and allies)” and concluding with a “vision” of a future in which “every ethnic group has the right to organize and represent themselves and their interests.”

Despite the NYU group’s mention of “weekly meetings,” observers have speculated  that these newly formed unions are largely fake, existing only in the realm of social media and without a real presence on the campuses to which they claim to belong.

“These White Student Union accounts are fake — or at least, the on-campus clubs they claim to represent are,” the Daily Beast reports. “Anyone can make a Facebook page for a group at a college they do not attend.”

NYU spokesman Matt Nagel said in a statement  to NYULocal that the organization was never registered at the university and that the Facebook page was using the school’s logo illegally and without permission.

“We reject — and we call on others reject — efforts such as this to derail or distort candid, thoughtful discourse on race,” Nagel said.

Andrew Anglin, who runs the blog the Daily Stormer, which has been described as a “neo-Nazi website,”  wrote in an e-mail to The Washington Post that he has been encouraging the formation of such groups for years, though he denies being directly involved with their sudden rise over the weekend.

While many have called the people behind the Facebook groups “trolls,” Anglin’s e-mail betrayed not a trace of irony about their mandates.

“Whites need to organize and protect their interests in the face of rising Black terrorism,” he wrote. “The goal of a White Student Union would be to push back against this, and also to show Whites across the country that it is okay to be White, it is okay to defend your history and your civilization.”

Anglin’s e-mail is riddled with racist invective against “Blacks,” including a claim that letting African Americans into universities is “charity.”

His response matches the abrasive tone of the Daily Stormer, which is among the few Web sites that have been linked to Dylann Roof, who is facing both state and federal charges arising from the mass shooting at a Charleston, S.C., church.

[Dylann Roof was active on white supremacist Web forum, group says]

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks white extremist groups, has described the blog  as a “neo-Nazi” and “white supremacist website.”

The White Students Union wave appears to have started with the “Illini White Students Union,” which accused the Black Lives Matter movement of “disrupting student daily life” and “marginalizing” white students.

[‘White Student Union’ challenges Black Lives Matter at University of Illinois]

The original page was taken down within hours of its formation, but another version  went up shortly afterward.

Administrators at Berkeley and Penn State University have issued statements noting that they have requested the pages be taken down.

“This page had no affiliation with our University and we found it disturbing and uncivil,” the statement  from Penn State read.

A letter signed by the chancellor of UC Berkeley iterated that the page appeared to be “a part of a national effort, and did not emanate” from the campus.

“While UC Berkeley honors First Amendment rights,” the letter continued, “we do not endorse this attempt to create conflict and make light of the efforts of activists, locally and nationally, who have worked hard to hold us all accountable for providing a campus climate where every student is safe, welcomed and respected.”

The user on Medium  encouraged students on affected campuses to “troll the trolls” by responding to “white supremacist hate with dumb Vines” and blanketing the groups’ Facebook walls with cat videos.

Son you make like 3 threads a day about racism and white privilege. Maybe you should just stick to one big thread.
If you know how many he makes, that means you're always clicking on em. Stop clicking if you don't want to read reality.
 
maybe it is, maybe it isnt, but OP make me feel like a race war bout to break out any day now
 
The fact that White people really feel like they're the victims here and are being discriminated against is hilarious. Because some how talking about race and white privelege on facebook and Internet comment sections equates to discrimination. Like they still don't make up 75% of the population. The fragility is ridiculous.
 
White Student Union? :lol:

It really is as asinine as it sounds :lol:

Guess I gotta be on the lookout for this at my Uni.

Would call on every frat/soror under the Divine 9 @ my school to invade every single meeting.
 
Young White Men Are Being Radicalized. It’s Time To Talk About It
As Trump pitches fight against ‘Islamic terrorists’, where is the alarm over disenfranchised men being lured into white supremacist movements?

White supremacy swept to power the day Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. His most ardent supporters championed him across the world. For them, Trump signaled the resurgence of white male dominance and they weren’t ashamed to celebrate it.

The Southern Poverty Law Center documented 1,094 hate related incidences in the US since the first month of Trump’s election victory

Their influence is growing. Following Trump’s executive order to ban citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US – a decree overturned by federal courts – white nationalists took to Reddit to express their joy. Trump, it seemed, was the real deal.

One user even said that he was so proud of Trump that he couldn’t possibly “raise his right arm any higher” – a reference to the Nazi salute.

These posts aren’t anecdotal. The Southern Poverty Law Center has documented1,094 hate-related incidences in the US since the first month of Trump’s election victory. In 37 percent of all cases, there was a direct reference to Trump or something he said.

The SPLC has also counted 892 hate groups in the US, the clear majority of which espouse white supremacist views.

Many of these movements are active on gaming networks and internet forums such as Stormfront, which has become a breeding ground for far right-wing extremists.

Now, the White House is presenting racism as an acceptable ideology, resulting in the radicalization of young white men across the world.

It’s time we talk about it.

Richard Spencer is a self-declared “white nationalist” who founded the Alt-Right – Alternative Right – movement in 2010. He has erecently kicked off a tour of college campuses to recruit new members who are disillusioned with the Republican political establishment.

In 2015, Muslims experienced a 67 percent increase in hate crimes directed towards them

At its core, the Alt-Right claims to protect white people from an unfolding “cultural genocide” perpetrated by the empowerment of feminists and people of colour. But who is supposed to protect everybody else from bigots like Spencer?

In 2015, the FBI reported that out of the 2,125 hate crime offences recorded against blacks, white people were the perpetrators 58 percent of the time. Whites, on the other hand, were victims in only 10 percent of the total of 5,850 reported incidences.

Meanwhile, Muslims experienced a 67 percent increase in hate crimes directed towards them in the same time frame. Anti-Semitic attacks remained the most frequent.

The real figures could be much higher since many states don’t report hate crimes to the FBI. That’s only part of the problem. The fact the White House is propagating hate speech is more worrying.

Lecia Pickett, the outreach director for SPLC, said that their centre has started a programme on college campuses to try and safeguard young white men from radicalisation. She also emphasised the importance of engaging with Republican groups who sponsor talks by people like Spencer.

“[Minorities] are very concerned with the increase of anti-Semitism and anti-feminism,” Lecia told MEE.

“[America] just can’t afford to backtrack on these things. [SPLC] is speaking on campuses all the time and speaking to administrators as well.”

Despite the efforts of groups like SPLC, propaganda is difficult to counter.

Last year, Breitbart News – an Alt-Right outlet that Trump promoted during his campaign – experienced a considerable spike in traffic from 13 million to 19 million visitors.

The resurgence of Nazi aspirations hasn’t compelled governments to seriously ponder how to safeguard young white men from extremism – unlike the hysteria that follows people of colour and Muslims when a crime is committed in their name

Such platforms and the leaders who endorse them are radicalising people beyond the US. That much was clear after a white French-Canadian student stepped into an Islamic Cultural Centre late last month and killed six men for no reason other than their faith.

It was later revealed that the shooter supported Trump and the far-right French politician Marine Le Pen.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the killing a terrorist attack. However, the resurgence of Nazi aspirations hasn’t compelled governments to seriously ponder how to safeguard young white men from extremism – unlike the hysteria that follows people of colour and Muslims when a crime is committed in their name.

That trend is certain to continue. Donald Trump’s administration is already pushing to remove neo-Nazis and white supremacists from the US governmment’s counter-extremism programme. Instead, they want to concentrate solely on “Islamic terrorists” and change the name of the programme from ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ to ‘Countering Radical Islamic Extremism’.

Never mind an FBI report, written more than 10 years ago, that warned about white supremacists groups infiltrating local and state law enforcement. The disturbing truth is that they won’t have to look over their shoulder as long as Trump is in charge.

If only the same can be said about young black men who continue to be profiled, harassed and killed by the police.

The banality of Trump
Many Trump supporters, while understandably fed up with the corrupt political establishment, failed to combat the bigotry of their candidate.

His campaign catered to the most extreme prejudices of white America. The nation’s racist past appeared to be an afterthought for his supporters. Not much has changed in the first weeks of his presidency.

The latest Reuters opinion poll reported that more people supported Trump’s executive order to ban Muslims than opposed it. Opinions were divided almost entirely along political party lines.

That’s not to say that everyone who agrees with Trump is radicalised. But it does suggest that people are buying into the fears being fed to them.

Trump is shoving a vision of the world – deprived of nuance and tolerance – down the throats of anyone willing to swallow it.

His tactics aren’t new. The Jewish German political theorist, Hannah Arendt, once wrote: “the sad truth is that most evil is done by those who never make up their minds to be good or evil”.

These words couldn’t be more relevant. Trump’s administration is counting on their most passive supporters to approve presidential decrees while hoping those who resist eventually normalise the unacceptable.

If that happens, white supremacy will thrive in the wake of indifference.
 
Richard Spencer doesn’t hide the agenda behind the Alt-Right. It’s the “fourteen words”.

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

1. How long have white people existed?
2. How long have “black” or original people existed?
3. What were original people doing before white people existed?
5. Did white people invent all of the knowledge used today to run the world?
4. Who taught white people?
5. How did they gain control?
6. Why was racism created?
7. Why is so much effort made to keep original people ignorant and disadvantaged?
8. How is religion used to achieve those goals?
9. What god do those who intend to harm you worship?
10. Can you prosper mimicking the moves of your oppressors?
