Calling Out Bigotry — Why Reverse Racism Doesn't Exist. ‘Why I Don’t Want to Talk About Race’ Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops. White Student Union (Documentary) ~ The Documentary Source. 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 deli where Whitaker was harassed happens to be in my neighborhood. Columbia University is up the street. Broadway, the main drag, is dotted with nice restaurants and classy bars that cater to beautiful people. I like my neighborhood. And I’ve patronized the deli with some regularity, often several times in a single day. I’ve sent my son in my stead. My wife would often trade small talk with whoever was working checkout. Last year when my beautiful niece visited, she loved the deli so much that I felt myself a sideshow. Since the Whitaker affair, I’ve read and listened to interviews with the owner of the establishment.
