GSU ?White Student Union? has formal ties with Neo-Nazi organization, Patrick Sharp displays images of racial bigotry
In the midst of the (albeit totally overhyped) recent coverage of the so-called ?White Student Union? being promoted by one Patrick Sharp at Georgia State University, we did a little informal research to see if we could learn more about this young buck.
We were especially interested to see if we could locate any context clues to help us determine whether, as Mr. Sharp insists, his ?pride in being white,? etc., is not rooted in racial bigotry (oh heavens no!), but is simply a matter of being proud in one?s ?culture.? Perhaps he?s right, as the GSU Signal has suggested, that the ?time is right? for a White Student?s Union. Perhaps Patrick Sharp is just a warm, fuzzy kid with some far-out ideas that we ought to consider, right?
We saw in the recent coverage that Patrick was from Birmingham. So, we looked up ?Patrick Sharp Birmingham? and came up with this facebook profile. Several context clues initially led us to believe this is probably the same Patrick Sharp associated with the White Student Union. For one, his username ?psharp94″ suggests that he was born in 1994, which would make him approximately 18-19 years old today: the age of a college Freshman.
Also, among his ?likes? is ubiquitously listed a page for ?White History Month,? which you can find here. It?s a treasure-trove of White Pride and paranoia. Our suspicions that we had the right man were confirmed when we visited the page for something called the ?Traditionalist Youth Network,? which was among Patrick?s ?likes.? The ?Traditionalist Youths? turn out to be a group of overt Nazi sympathizers, but we?ll get there in a few minutes.
So anyway, let?s click on Patrick?s ?photos.? Oh, what?s this one?!

Wow! A black and white ?equal? sign, with an erasure marking through it!
Surely you?re not suggesting here ?black and white are not equal?? Nah, no way. That?s crazy talk, right? Because your ?White Student Union? isn?t about inequality or racial supremacy, right? It?s just an attempt to equal the playing field, right?
His ?likes? also include a page called ?Verum Justicia,? which appears to be devoted to the concept of a ?New Crusade? (you remember, the Crusades, where European Catholics launched a military campaign to slaughter 100′s of 1000′s of Muslims and others who would not convert to Christianity?) and is covered in images of noble white knights crushing ?savage? brown cultures. The page is basically one post after another of anti-Islam, anti-Barack Obama, ?pro-white? propaganda.
And then there is Patrick?s affiliation with the ?Traditionalist Youth Network,? a veritable modern day Hitler Youth. I was immediately struck by this image, a riff on the popular ?Scumbag Steve? meme:

Sharp?s ties to the ?Traditionalist Youth Network? appear to be more than just the fact that he ?likes? their facebook page. Shockingly, GSU?s White Student Union is listed as a ?Chapter? of the Traditionalist Youth Network (screenshot). And, wouldn?t you just know it, Sharp?s WSU lists the Traditionalist Youth Network as a ?sister organization? (screenshot). So, Sharp?s innocent little organization has direct formal ties with an organization whose founder publicly espouses the most flagrant, vile White Supremacist views possible. There you have it.
So, while my initial impulse was to say that Mr. Sharp is just some dumb kid trying to get attention, I?m led upon further investigation to believe that what he is promoting is rooted in something truly evil, truly sinister. We shouldn?t be laughing at him. We should be confronting him head on and denouncing his primitive, hateful beliefs. It?s time to call a spade a spade. Mr. Sharp brings shame upon all Georgians, all Southerners, all white people for that matter. There?s no room for your kind in a civilized society.
Patrick, if you?re going to be a White Supremacist, be a White Supremacist. Defend your position for what it is. Stop hiding behind all this bullshit about cultural pride and just wanting to equal the playing field with Black student groups. And if you?re so brain-damaged to think that neo-Nazi groups have something useful to offer GSU, America, or any civilized society whatsoever, perhaps you ought to think about crawling permanently into your mother?s basement, where you can surround yourself with your Neo-Nazi relics and live in your own fantasy world in which ?whites? rule supreme, and just because they?re white, without reference to their personal merits.
Because you, sir, are truly deficient in character and in merit, and will never survive in a world in which this type of bullshit is (rightly) not tolerated. You?re useless to us, and only get in the way of decent people trying to live decent lives.

Apparently the student editor of the campus paper doesn't think Mr Sharp is very sharp either:

Incoming student Patrick Sharp is denying claims that his new White Student Union supports neo-Nazi messages or racial bigotry, despite links to the controversial organization ?Traditionalist Youth Network.?
The White Student Union at Georgia State, an unchartered organization at the university, is listed as one of five chapters of Traditional Youth, which regularly posts racially-charged images on its Facebook page, including ones lamenting the ?mongrelization? of European bloodlines and diversity as a means for ?white genocide."

Other meme-like images quote Nazi sympathizers like Catholic Bishop Alois Hudal, known for his 1937 book ?The Foundations of National Socialism? and praise of Adolf Hitler. Sharp confirmed the White Student Union at Georgia State is ?sort of like a chapter for them,? though he said only he is solely responsible for the union?s agenda.
As of Aug. 1, Sharp?s website listed Traditional Youth as a sister organization, though this has since been taken down. ?They?re not in charge of anything we do. It?s me calling the shots. And it?s from my point of view, my leadership,? the 18-year-old international economics and modern languages student said. ?Everything falls on me.?
Though it claims to have no formal process for new chapters to join the network like the Tea Party or Occupy groups, Traditional Youth invites founders to participate in its weekly leadership conferences, according to its website. In the past week, as news about the White Student Union has spread, Traditional Youth has shared stories about Sharp?s group on Facebook with instructions for members to leave supportive comments at the end of each article.
When shown some of the group?s images on Facebook, Sharp said he doesn?t see any images depicting racial bigotry and said they were about the U.S. government?s lack of enforcement of immigration laws. ?Just because I don?t support irresponsible immigration policies doesn?t mean I don?t like diversity,? he said. Sharp said he agreed primarily with the goals and messages of these organizations, he said he hasn?t personally seen everything on Traditional Youth?s social media accounts and sometimes has differences of opinions with them.
However, in some of the promotional materials Sharp has created for students to learn more about the Union, he?s linked them to tradyouth.org ? the group?s website.
?They?re just, for the most part, likeminded people,? he told The Signal. ?We have our differences and whatnot, but we?re just people with similar ideas. The White Student Union is one of those ideas.?
