College Student Crusades For White Student Union, Says ‘White Culture Is Dying’ (VIDEO)

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/12/04/college-student-crusades-for-white-student-union-says-white-culture-is-dying-video/21-
year-old Matt Heimbach is making headlines for attempting to launch a White Student Union at Towson University near Baltimore, MD. Raw Story reports that the chunky campus whacktivist keeps whining about how “white culture is dying,” while “every other single group has a union — Jewish, black. Why don’t white students get equal treatment?”

Heimbach even has the nerve complain that “we live on a campus where there is discrimination against whites,” because of his school’s affirmative action programs. This, in spite of the facts that 2010 US Census data shows that the city of Baltimore. MD is 63.6% black, while Towson University’s student body is 68% white, according to Forbes Magazine. Heimbach’s persecution complex may also have something to do with the faculty advisor who backed out of his previous “Youth for Western Civilization” group, because it promoted “a supremacist kind of agenda,” according to the university’s Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs for Diversity Victor Collins.

Campus groups require a faculty advisor in order to be officially recognized by the university. Given the angry student petitions circulating, and Heimbach’s previous group’s habit of inviting “racial realism” proponent Jared Taylor to speak, official recognition for the new group is unlikely to be forthcoming.



What, ME racist? But I’ve got a black friend, see? And my man just LOVES a man in (confederate) uniform. Photo from Matt Heimbach’s Twitter profile, which describes him as a member of “Maryland League of the South, member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and proud defender of liberty.” Heimback swears he’s not a white supremacist, but sounds an awful lot like one.

trick is not to live in that time frame. You need to come back to the real world.

There are certainly some dickish individuals in that hobby, but it's inane to condemn them all.

Shakespeare, classic music, ballet, opera or architecture. And those weren't solely 'white' by any stretch of the word, just in general. Right now, 'white' culture is being defined by grifters and liars. Not that it's a racial characteristic, but the only media voices I hear bemoaning the 'darkening of America' is Faux, and that's not culture. As far as Americans go, the only culture we is what the commerical culture sells us. No matter how crass, cruel or destructive. We're plastic waiting for a mold to fit. This guy is being silly. If anyone wants to promote something as 'white,' they'd better have something good to sell.
