Here Comes the White-Power Safety Patrol. They Want to Clean Up Your Campus.

[Are_grits_groceries]

Matthew Heimbach insists he’s not a racist. This comes as a surprise to his fellow students at Towson University, in the suburbs of Baltimore, where Matthew has formed a group called the White Student Union that advocates for “persons of European heritage”—what most of us call “white people.” It also comes as a surprise to the African American students who feel targeted by the night patrols the senior history major began conducting in March. The patrols target supposed “black predators,” Matthew wrote on the WSU’s website, citing (among others) a case in which an African American man pulled out a knife and his penis, and wagged both at a co-ed couple who were copulating in a parking garage. “White Southern men,” he wrote, “have long been called to defend their communities when law enforcement and the State seem unwilling to protect our people.”

Also surprised by Matthew’s claim that he’s not a racist is Duane Davis. “You are a fat, racist little bitch,” the scrappy, dreadlocked man told Matthew one sunny Tuesday this April. There was a rally going on, organized by the Student Government Association and the Black Student Union. In a field behind Duane and Matthew, about 100 students protested the White Student Union by reading unity-themed slam poetry from a microphone. When Matthew showed up on the edge of the crowd, a dozen protesters had come to confront him. Down the façade of a parking garage, a banner unfurled reading, WSU GTFO (translation: White Student Union Get the Fuck Out).

“There’s no need to insult me,” Matthew told Duane, who looked one wrong reply away from punching the 21-year-old.

“I’ve killed people,” Duane said. “In self-defense... But I’ve killed people.”

Loathesome slugs. I need a shower.

1. Hilarious

“White Southern men,” he wrote, “have long been called to defend their communities when law enforcement and the State seem unwilling to protect our people.”

from African Americans who they enslaved, bound, chained, separated from their families and sold like animals.

What an inversion of reality!

2. So they want a white homeland

“If there are white people... who want to remain in this multicultural cesspool,” he said, “let them. We don’t want them. Let us mind our own business. Let us stand up for our own people, and create our own nation and new homeland for Europeans around the entire globe. So give us a homeland, and if you want to sell yourself and your children down the river of multiculturalism, you can do so.”

The history of Europe is one of constant strife between different religions and nationalities. Why do these people think that a modern "white" state would fare any better?

3. Fascism is coming to the USA. To college campuses, no less. The fruits of neoliberalism.

6. hell i remember these assholes during the 60`s

8. there's a difference. in the 60s, those types were (as they saw it) defending the old order.

these are not; they're trying to bring in a new order. they're not being re-active, but pro-active. what came to mind was the nazi-type gangs that ran around intimidating people before the nazis took power.

4. these cowards seal thier own fate

These cowards seal thier own fate when they use thier 1st amendment rights to communicate thier bigotry. The genius of the 1st amendment is the fact that thier notions and racism are exposed to the light of reason and honor when they speak thier mind. Even with a black president in the whitehouse, racists are seeing a huge hole in demographic support that cannot be rectified by rallies and media ownership; America's newest generations just arent interested in racist ideologies.
In fact there are studies that point to a future death of intergenerational racism and a sharp decline of belief in, or support of, traditional racist ideology. I hate racism, but I sometimes feel sorry for the racist; what must life be like if you actually believe in and internalize the objectification of entire groups of people based on the fact that they look, dress, worship or love differently than the racist? It must be exhausting to constantly manufacture outrage at or because of skin pigmentation differences between people. The years and years of maintaining outrage and hate must effect the racist emotionally and intellectually. We know that racists often lose close members of thier family over thier racism and are probably left off most holiday invites for the same reason- what must it be like to actively destroy the love others feel for you by supporting racist ideology? It seems like it would eventually become a self fullfilling prophecy- hating others unreasonably leads to loss of love from those you do care about- but this result does not effect the racist mind set, in fact I think it serves to lead to a more rigid regime of racial animus and physical violence. Racists dont just change- they may appear to be shamed by thier own behavior, but that is usually just an act to disguise true feelings and intentions. Racism is not unlike other forms of criminal power abuse and trust betrayal used by child molesters and rapists. Do you think racism is like a disease? Do you suppose there is any cure for the racist individual?

7. He's advocating lynching here

“White Southern men,” he wrote, “have long been called to defend their communities when law enforcement and the State seem unwilling to protect our people.”

Horrible.

9. Any white person associated with any group like this is a complete loser.

Whites are incredibly privileged. Anyone who doesn't realize that is an idiot.
