Spartan Daily - Serving San Jose State University since 1934

"From now on, I will always question whether my whiteness plays a role in what I get in life, and, if I can, I will counteract those notions verbally and with passion. It's the least I can do."

Why is it that these days it is socially fashionable to bash yourself to the ground if you're a white person? Day and night do we hear that this group or that group is proud of itself. Why should whites be ashamed to do the same? Asians and Africans rule total continents and are proud of it; but if whites feel so much as a specticle of pride because they achieve anything--"they are racists."

Whether some want to admit it or not, we all sleep on the "bed" that our parents have made for us. And therefore, should whites (or anyone else, for that matter) be ashamed of the good reputation or good fortune that their parents have provided them with?

Why not learn from this? Think about those who will come after you. Will they think of you in appreciation or in shame?

Mr. Ellis, you do nobody a favor by putting down Whites. For once, can we just be equal and not focus on the color of our skin?

Why is this article removed from the "Most Recently Commented" section? Does Spartan Daily have a problem with the subject or perhaps with the reader's comment? Could it really be guilty of CENSORING?

The Bush administration can't eavesdrop, but Spartan Daily can censor--nice!

Dear John, just wait until the year 2050, white people will then be a minority in the United States. Maybe then you won't hate your race so much. You should be proud of who you, regardless of the color of your skin.
