White Student Union Launches at Georgia State University
It's the second student group created to "celebrate white identity" in the past year

About 37% of the Atlanta school's student body is white
Georgia State Universitys official roster of more than 300 campus organizations includes everything from the Bengali Student Association to the Womens Ultimate Frisbee Club. But one student group you wont 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. Whats more, several students have already complained to the Atlanta schools administration after seeing the clubs flyers posted around campus. While Sharp is aware that people will accuse his group of being racist, he tells the Constitution, Ive already heard some of that and I dont care what they have to say. He added, Why is it when a white person says he is proud to be white hes shunned as a racist?
Sharp said he was inspired to begin the group after hearing about a similar organization formed by students at Towson University in Maryland. Towsons White Student Union received media attention earlier this year when it planned to organize night patrols of the campus in response to a high crime rate. The groups blog said, For those who are not Towson students it seems hard to fathom that every single day black predators prey upon the majority white Towson University student body. Both the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League have called the Towson club a hate group.
Georgia State University has a racially-diverse student body. Among its approximately 32,000 graduate and undergraduate students.
