Georgia State University Freshman Founds ‘White Student Union’ at School
A Georgia State University freshman from Birmingham created an informal White Student Union at the school, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The White Student Union already has about a half dozen members, founder Patrick Sharp told the Journal-Constitution, but it’s also stirred up plenty of controversy before the school year even begins.
Sharp said the goal of the group is for students of European descent to get together and discuss culture and issues that affect the group.
“All we want to do is celebrate white identity,” he told the Journal-Constitution. “This is about being in touch with who you are as a white person and being proud of that.”
Sharp declined an interview with al.com Birmingham News Wednesday.
