O hai conservative student group Youth for Western Civilization (YWC), whose purpose is fighting “radical multiculturalism” (blahs and Messicans and definitely Islamics and probably Jewishes and Italians too), it looks like you have been kicked out of Towson University in Baltimore for losing your mortified faculty advisor after a bunch of your more clever members wrote “White Pride” everywhere all over campus. (But only in chalk! They wouldn’t want to vandalize anything while spreading their racial terror.) So what’s up? Are you oppressed? Please tell us how oppressed you are. Are you just promoting “traditional conservative values,” and “not racist”? Oh, do tell us more about that too! (But not via your website currently undergoing a “redesign,” presumably while you remove the Prussian Blue videos and whimsical collection of vintage postcards of lynchings.)
[YWC President Matthew] Heimbach, a 20-year-old junior, said the group is only promoting traditional conservative values and is not racist. He said he’s advocating pride in his culture, not “white power.”
“White pride is no different than gay pride or black pride,” he said. “I’m not trying to put anyone down. We want to celebrate our unique culture, and we encourage every other group to do the same.”
Dude, at least try to pick one of the many white cultures, like maybe Irish, or Nazi, or something that actually has a unified culture beyond “owning all the stuff” on the one hand or “being a giant uneducated lardass pile of Diabetic Sad” on the other.
Anyway, obviously it’s people who call people who scrawl “white pride” everywhere racists who are the real racists. Also, the group was a cosponsor of the College Republican National Convention, and Tom Tancredo is their honorary chair, because of course he is. It’s so weird how black people and other minorities might want to vote Dem. Why won’t they just understand that America is a white Christian nation, and be proud of it?

Ah, you edited it before I could comment. No love for DJ?
Well, I didn't really get into basketball until the Jordan Championship Years…
Phoebe Snow–this Phoebe Snow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_Snow_%28chara…
The Pillsbury Doughboy?
Kimba the Lion? (His whole family was a white pride….)
Andy Breitbart?
I'm sure Mr. Heimbach is proud of his German roots.
That must be what he means by "unique culture"
Are you enjoying your stay in Somerset, Mr Hilter?
Hell, I love to wear my White Pride Day hood.
Sounds more like "white trash pride" to me. He's the kind of guy where a tornado hits his neighborhood and does $100,000 worth of improvements.
Circumpolar region inhabitants have 10,000 words for "white".
And they are proud of remembering all of them.
Nig*BONG*?
So scribbling "White Pride" can be considered the Heimbach Maneuver?
Hasn't Tracy Turnblad taught Baltimore anything?
Teen-aged Jezebel libel!
White pride is different from black pride or gay pride in that there is nothing to be proud of. The end.
Ham on White with Mayo = White Cutlure.
who wouldn't be proud of that?
Hair Metal.
Hello!
"BROTHERS OF METAL!" – Man O' War
Pat Boone, anyone?
But — but we invented square dancing and Gregorian chants!
White Pride is different in that as a whole it has less teeth and less limbs on it's collective family tree. And they're ignorant.
So much for dog whistles and code, huh?
Maybe the dogs are going deaf.
The usual suspects have been blowing those whistles awfully loud lately. They're probably walking around with a dull ringing in their ears all the time.
I said this before and I'll say it again, when Obama wins in 2012, the mainstream conservatives will start openly calling Obama a 'nigger.'
Actually, I'm kinda hoping they will.
Yeah me too. Lets get all this shit out in the open., and drive these rats into the light.
Scribbling "White Pride" all over the campus was just a clever advertising stunt for the local bakery's latest loaf offering?
Whole White?
Actually, you're not far off. In the UK there was[is] a bakery, or rather a brand, named: Mother's Pride.
It was usually shite white bread, so it kinda fits right in with Shite White Pride, since the bread was all pudgy, tasteless and possibly toxic.
No need to swim the pond, Hostess sells Nature's Pride and Home Pride in the US.
I'll ask young Master Heimblecch the same thing I asked Glenn Bleck, who I've no doubt is a hero of his: Just what exactly the fuck is "white culture"?
If you should ever find yourself in Towson, you will know what white culture is. Remember the 80s/Preppy style of pink and kelly green leisurewear and popped collars? That's the national dress of the residents.
Except that most of the people who rant on about "white culture" would be inclined to beat the snot out of someone from the popped collar set.
As a former resident of Towson I was at first offended but this but then I thought, oh, god, its true!
Yogurt?
More importantly, how do I wash it off of me?
I believe that's "white KKKulture."
I thought Martin Mull did a series to help us understand it.
A funny series, indeed!

White culture is tubular "meat," pork rinds and homes that appear on a site not through the efforts of carpenters, but of truck drivers, among other triumphs of technology.
The first wave of the home schooled generation is just now trickling into college. Just wait a few years and this type of shit will be as common as crackers with concealed handgun permits.
there's the crazy conservative homeschoolers and the crazy liberal homeschoolers. my family is the latter. i think when the fight happens, we'll win.
1000 pardons. I meant to refer only to the conservative home schooled.
But I have to ask: who performs the gay abortions if you can't get them done in the school nurse's office?
It's a hands on learning experience for us crazy liberal homeschoolers.
Are those the homeschooled who turn out like Joaquin Phoenix?
…YWC President Matthew Heimbach…
Nice Teutonic name. Let's all friend him, on Racebook.
Isn't "White Pride" usually just spray-painted under the Confederate flag on a pick-up truck?
Please! People with Confederate flags on their pick-up trucks would rather huff that spray paint.
Or smeared with feces. The medium in this case a reflection of the character of the artist.
Give the kid a break. He just wants to celebrate the unique culture that white people have. You know, the culture where white people are better than all the other kinds of people, so they get a bigger share of the power and money and stuff.
Well golly, we HAVE been oppressed by the Bill Cosby's and Lionel Richie's of the world. . .
To stop our gagging, it sounds like the YWC needz a Heimbach Maneuver. That's the good old beer hall putsch to the nutz.
The beer halls in Nuremburg were so crowded that everybody was putsching and schoving.
Jesus fuck. Co-opting victimization is the new white privilege.
New?? It's a tradition as old as Christmas!
I, for one, am proud of my ability to walk down the street without people calling 911 and how I can walk thorugh stores without being followed by security and of course, my unparalleled abilty to get married and talk openly in all segments of society about my romantic relationships (that one is theoretical of course)
And I can open a church wherever I want, and not have to justify it with youth basketball every Tuesday night.
And I, for one, am proud that despite having a very African-American-sounding name I can go into a job interview and receive an audible sigh of thankfulness that I am indeed a white.
Yvette? Jasmine? Advil? Clorette?
Yes.
I have, what sounds like to the uneducated, a very Jewish sounding name. I've actually had people tell me upon finding out that I am not Jewish, that they are glad they 'don't have to watch what they say around me.'
Um, yeah. You still have to not be a raging anti-semite around me, jackass.
Bruce Springsteen, is that you?!
Me, too! My college roommates told me they did not expect me to be white when they saw my name before we met, as did some people I met online. Although, to be fair, none of them seemed to care either way.
Ha, neither my name nor my telephone voice sounds like the "large threatening negro" who actually shows up at interviews, but somehow I have managed to get hired at enough jobs to keep a mortgage over my head.
Youth for Western Civilization? What, College Republicans too moderate?
Nah, they're all about the same. But apparently the College Republicans won't let you say it out loud or write it up on a wall, and where's the fun in that?
Apparently ever since Michael Steele introduced African influences like S&M clubs to them.
"Youth for Western Civilization" suggests snazzy uniforms and marching songs while "College Republicans" just means closeted gay guys.
The College Republicans are basically the "diplomatic wing" of these groups… like Sinn Fein is to the IRA. No doubt their membership lists overlap by about 95%.
This will really upset them, where will they go on holiday?

"The grave is now available to receive new mortal remains."
Why does this read like the cheerful description of a beach house in the local real estate rag?
Herr Kurt Pitterschatscher makes me very suspicious. Could Herr Heimbach be related by any chance?
This post should be easy for you to masturbate to, Lizzie, what with the goosestepping and all?
I like the officer class uniforms more and preferably Waffen SS, not to be too picky.
I agree. They are just promoting "traditional conservative values."
Like racism.
Tom who?
Anyway, I wish they'd take a cue from their overlords and start promoting Male Pride, because I'm not afraid of women.
I’m old enough to remember when blatant racism wasn’t a core conservative value. Do you think at my age I should be worried about prostate health?
My husband insists that regular emptying of the prostate prevents BPH and cancer but he is probably just trying to get laid more often.
Really? Because with all the fapping the right wing does, you'd think there'd be no market for Flomax…
But you're not old enough to remember when it was. These things come and go, depending on how much the GOP feels it can get away with in any given historical period. They've always been racist fuckwads, but now, 50 or so years after the civil rights struggle opened people's eyes to the evils of racism, the tide is changing back enough that the GOP feels it can start showing its true colors again.
Heimbach? Sounds like a skinhead to me!
Heimbach. Me Mozart.
Yet another story about how the entire modern history of the Republitard Party is to use issues like race, abortion, religion and homophobia to get poor and middle class white voters to vote against their economic self interests. What is particularly sad is people like Mr. Heimbach are stupid enough to fall for it. <<sigh>>
And "YWC President" is much easier to spell than "Untersturmbahnführer."
I expect an enraged tweet from Tucker Carlson calling Matthew Heimbach a race-baiter any second now.
What? Oh.
Just what is it all these "race-baiters" are trying to catch?
Whitefish.
I must have nodded off in history class during the discussion of how white people have been oppressed in the United States of Amerikkka.
Wah of Nawthun Aggresshun!!
And Reconstruction *angryspit*
Dayum Yankee cahpitbagguhs….
Santorum meant to tag "Wah Pride."
"We want to celebrate our unique culture"
Speaking as a white guy, what unique culture is that?
The long, storied tradition of identifying other peoples as not-white and making them do the dirty work, I guess. I mean, what else is specifically "white"?
I'm coming up with grilled cheese sandwiches made from Wonder Bread and Velveeta, but not much else.
Being unable to sit in the sunshine for 20 minutes without a sunburn?
Hey, I resemble that remark! As do you.
It's cloudy today so I can get away with just SPF 30….yay!
Trucknutz?
It's like the Atlanta Olympics closing ceremony, with its 500 cheerleaders and 30 pickup trucks never happened.

I hate

"Oh, I see Mr. Heimbach, you're applying for job … You were with the YWC in college? Hmmm. Would you like to meet your manager in this position? …. Yes …. Just talk to the gentleman over there … No, Mr. Heimbach, the _Black_ gentleman. The White man sitting next to him is his father…"
BTW: you boss is gay, too.
It's about time the white race got reparations for the shameful centuries when Africans came to the shores of Europe and carried away Europeans in their slave ships.
I thought you were going to go with "All those Africans who came over in the slave ships never paid for their tickets."
Are the Haitians finished paying France reparations for revolting against them? (Bizarre but true, and another reason why Europeans who think they're somehow superior to "American racism" can go fuck themselves)
They finally paid it off around WW2, after about 140 years.
Matthew,
"
WhitePride". Fixed that for you.Sincerely,

Babies and toddlers don't share their toys, remember that.
Oh come on. The people who point out that the people who point out people who point out people who are highlighting race as a root of social issues as being racist as racists themselves are the REAL racists.
This comments wins at winning the win from a winner who should win.
Somehow my underwear was on the outside after I got through that.
Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig, festem Schritt.
Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
Marschier'n im Geist in unser'n Reihen mit.
Die Straße frei den braunen Batallionen.
Die Straße frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann!
Es schau'n aufs Hakenkreuz voll Hoffnung schon Millionen.
Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an!
You know who else was a racist and spoke German?
Ja, Ja, das Matthew Heimbach lied.
They're making a mistake – they should really start the White Fear Party – because that's all it is…
That organization name is almost redundant now, ain't it?
I think "a giant uneducated lardass pile of Diabetic Sad" is the slogan on the Welcome To … signs outside the town where I live. At least it should be.
Good lord. They've trotted out so many dog-whistles that even deaf cats are going “what the hell was that?”.
Also, methinks Young White Christian should read more Proverbs 16:18.
As a non-theist, fuck you, Matthew. I can judge.
I can't believe there's a market for this shit.
If all you have is whiteness, your life is miserable under a black preznit.
When whah people are outlawed, only outlaws will be whah.

If this is what white supremacists consider porn, I am disappointed by a characterological lack of booty.
An interesting blog post by their former faculty advisor, not exactly a liberal himself: http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2012/03/vatz-resi…
Vatz UND Heimbach? Mein Gott!
The world is a small place. I actually know Vatz (professionally more than personally). As well as a conservative, he's an old-school argument scholar, who'd have been open to representing a group with an…um….unpopular….message on the grounds that everyone gets a right to speak. He does not seem to think that you have a right to be taken seriously if you're gonna be an asshole about it.
Look, we are just burning these crosses because we need to dispose of the wood, and the fact that the wood has been formed in the shape of a cross is just incidental, and explain to me how -fire- is supposed to be racist. I mean, black people use fire all the time. Why is it that black people can burn wood whenever they want and it's not considered racist, but then when we burn wood that happens to be in the shape of a cross everyone freaks out. They are the real racists.
#cotd
You distilled white whine down to its purest essence. Brava!
Towson University also fielded the first African American team to win the Cross Examination Debate Association national championship…so, word to the wise Youth for Western Civilization? Stick to chalk, or TU Debate will give you arguments worth being scared of…
Celebrating white culture? Sounds about as exciting as eating a mashed potato and mayonaise sandwich made with white Wonder bread topped with vanilla ice cream. I'll take Cinco de Mayo and Kwanza any day.
"It would be a good idea."
Mohandas Gandhi, when asked what he thought of western civilization.
Racism IS a traditional conservative value.
I am sooooo proud that finally someone is standing up for the long overlooked population of white people in America.
In fairness, on sunny days they can be overlooked.
You can identify us by the blistering red sheen we radiate.
"Ven Der Heimbach zays 'Ve ist ze Master Race!'
Ve Heil (Ppppththtt!) , Heil (Ppppththtt!)
right in Der Heimbach's face!"
Dear Webster's Dictionary Editor,
Please update your definition of "American" to read as follows:
“being a giant uneducated lardass pile of Diabetic Sad”
"only promoting traditional conservative values and is not racist."
Because the two are so BLATANTLY mutually exclusive , and one is NEVER code for the other-when-you-can't-say-it-in-polite-company/by-a-microphone.
Meanwhile, Lamb and Lynx have maintained a low profile since entering college.
The Wire.
[YWC President Matthew] Heimbach, a 20-year-old junior, said the group is only promoting traditional conservative values …
He is actually correct, unfortunately.
Yes, why don't you go celebrate your "unique culture". That's nice. No, go play in the middle of the interstate, if you don't mind.
And what "unique culture" is that?
I don't know who took this dweeb's lunch money (or worse) in school, but I'm pretty sure I know what they looked like.
It's Knot Konservatism, It's Kulture!™
The picked up the nifty slogan from a loaf of bread somebody spotted at the 7-Eleven.
The YWC directors decided that "Whole Wheat Pride" just didn't seem as snappy. "Jewish Rye" also was discarded, as was "Russian Black."
Holy shit. If they go after you in MARYLAND for being a racist, you must really be off the fucking charts!
White is the absence of color, which is precisely the kind of country YWC advocates.
The NCAA could earn some points if they barred Towson lacrosse from postseason play, as punishment.
If all you got to be proud of is the fact that you were born White, you probably ain't done jack shit with your life…
if white pride is so goddamned great, why don't i have a jetpac?
assholes
Ich bin ein "racist stooge."
But white Americans can be proud of such accomplishments as inventing Rock and Roll, totally by themselves.
Duh. We invented Chinese food and Mexican food. Q.E.D.
I thought the middle east was part of their territory.
Or Jazz, the banjo, Tabasco Sauce, Jambalaya, etc etc etc.
Oh well, at least you guys have Cheez in a Can, Hair in a Can and Baconaise.
Roy Blount's Monster Trucks & Hair in a Can is a seminal volume.
All that were near…
