Texas college student, 57, tries to establish 'white student union' on campus



A 57-year-old Texas community college student is trying to set up a 'White Student Union' and establish a white history month on campus to combat what he calls discrimination against Caucasians.

Richard Railey, who refers to himself as 'Mr. Rick,' began handing out flyers about his group at Tarrant County College last week and held an informational meeting in a campus cafeteria in downtown Fort Worth.

Railey began the group because he believes minorities get special treatment and that white heritage is being 'erased' from history or minimized.

He hopes that the group will encourage white students to celebrate their culture and provide a vehicle to fight affirmative action, laws that promote nondiscrimination in schools and the workplace.

Scrolling through images on the Tarrant County College website, he says, 'They've left out all the white guys. We seem to be systematically being erased from all the images on campus computers and newspapers.'

He has set up a Facebook group and blog to publicize his efforts, where he describes the group as 'an ethno-centric student club open to all current and former students in Tarrant County as well as others interested in promoting white awareness.'

Railey says he's trying to get the school to recognize a white history month, which would include screenings of 'pro-white films, dance and music from our many original white ethnic European home countries and discussion groups of the ethics and values that characterize much of our white identity such as strong family values, belief in limited government and individual achievement and personal responsibility.'

On the group's website, he has posted a video of a man calling himself 'RamzPaul' delivering a pro-white monologue.

'We are the Americans who get attacked by flash mobs because of our race,' the man says. 'We are the generation of Americans who faces formal job and education discrimination and yet we are expected to apologize for our supposed privilege.'

He continues, 'We have stopped embracing or celebrating your notion of diversity. We turn off your Marxist televised propaganda... This is our new declaration of independence.'

Railey is trying to get his group recognized by the college, but he's already facing friction.

The president of the student government association, Nathan Cooper, told the college paper that he was 'shocked' by Railey's introduction of the white student group at a recent meeting.

'I honestly could not believe this was happening at our meeting,' Cooper told The Collegian .

Railey's group appears to be inspired by another club for white students on the Maryland campus of Towson University.

That group, founded by student Matt Heimbach, has faced major opposition since its founding in fall 2012. The school has refused to recognize it as an official group and it has been branded a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Active: Railey appears to be very active in local politics. He's a registered Republican and appears to align himself with the tea party

Political: Railey claims to draws inspiration from former President Ronald Reagan and he's a fierce critic of President Obama

The group, which claims to have around 50 members, recently announced plans to begin nighttime patrols of the Towson campus to fend of 'black predators,' inspiring hundreds of students and faculty to form a protest rally last week.

The group also made headlines last month when its members defended the institution of slavery at the Conservative Political Action Conference, a confab of conservatives that meets annually in Washington, D.C.

Railey provides links to the Towson group on his website and he claims to be following in Heimbach's footsteps.

Railey appears to be very active in local politics. He's a registered Republican and appears to align himself with the tea party, according to literature and images that he has posted on his Facebook page.

He claims to draws inspiration from former President Ronald Reagan and he's a fierce critic of President Obama.

In one Facebook post, he compares Obama to Adolph Hitler.
