First of all I don't know what a White Support Group should do. Are there injustices in the world? Yes. Do those injustices affect only whites? No. What I would rather see is a Justice support group. A Group were the voices of innocent victims can be heard and and the rights of the accused will be protected. What we need is a support group to search for truth. Yea I know that is a whole lot of idealism but anything else will degenerate into we versus them. In this environment anything that benefits my group is good and anything that damages your group is bad.

The reason I started a group specifically for whites, is because I'm not aware of such a group existing (other than the white supremacy groups, KKK etc). As far as I can tell, there is support for seemingly all groups, except for whites. By support I don't only mean groups such as Black Lives Matter, but also greater movements that favor all other groups. The whole SJW thing, campus culture, feminism (which does favor white women admittedly), etc. IRL, support for all but whites can be seen for example with quotas and grants being given to all minorities, women but never anything specifically for whites.
Having a group that supports literally everyone won't work. What will end up happening is that a certain subset of people will start to dominate and take over the group, meaning that in the end the group will in practice be just for X people.

That's fair. You might wanna make this clear in the sidebar, and have a pretty strong moderation policy against racism (not conflict between two people of different races, but actual racism, like the generalizing and such). The sub kinda sounds like an offshoot of coontown and those subs, to be honest. It's a careful distinction you might wanna make clear.

As the subverse description reads:
A subverse for whites (Caucasians & Europeans) to support one another with issues related to race.
Would you like to share and discuss white culture? Go ahead!
