Student Patrick Sharp organizes 'White Student Union' at Georgia State University
ATLANTA (WXIA) -- A new student club at Georgia State University is attracting more attention than most new student clubs do -- just the club's name is stirring up controversy.
The first-year student at Georgia State who organized the club is calling it the "White Student Union."

The organizer, Patrick Sharp, insisted Wednesday night that no one should have any cause for worry or concern.
Sharp said he has heard objections from students about the club's name, and he understands why some are objecting.
But he's hoping no one will pre-judge him or his club.
"I decided to organize a White Student Union," he said, simply.
He started posting flyers this summer on the downtown Atlanta campus of Georgia State University.
Sharp said when he started his first year during this summer term, he noticed there were many other student clubs devoted to various racial and ethnic interests.
So he started the White Student Union. . . .

Apparently it is the word "White" that is causing students to have grand mal seizures and campus pond ducks to capsize, which is absurd enough in itself, but does anyone doubt that a European American Student Union devoted to pioneer butter churning and quilting bees would be seen as any less of a 'Nazi' or 'KKK' or 'white supremacist' pariah?
