STANFORD DOCUMENTS

Most white students at Stanford don't care or act on anything
except their own experience, and I don't like people who don't care .
To overcome the effects of living in a racist, sexist, exploitative soci–
ety calls for active people , not passive ignorant fools who don't mind
their own apathy.
If
you are fuming mad at me, you are probably one of those
fools that most students of color don't like or even worse are a stu–
dent of color who is not planning on helping their own people.
If
you don't understand what I'm talking about you probably
also voted against the BSU, SaLSA or Jesse Jackson . We don't like
you because you have all the advantages in the world and aren't try–
ing to help or even understand the plight of most of the world which
is of color, is exploited and is hungry .
How can you fight against hunger , homelessness or apartheid
if you can't even walk into a black theme house?

There are a lot of problems for our generation to solve and as
Malcolm X said,
"If
you're not a part of the solution, you are a part

most of its inhabitants don't like us and for good reason .
If
you are a conservative or reactionary I hope you are in love
with yourself because most of the world doesn't like you . Why not?
Because you are in favor of "every man for himself," healthy com–
petition and supply-side economics while people are having trouble
eating and staying alive, due to your Keynesian economics and "evil
empire" defense policies .
If
you are insulted by my "attacks" on "whites" and "people with
other views," you have missed my point again. I am trying to
stimulate you to action , to involvement and to change of the world
for the better instead of the preservation of your few advantages .
I hope we can all see that in this world the only way we can
preserve our future is to preserve everyone's future , not just our
own.
It is fine to disagree with the philosophy or tactics of the BSU;
it is wrong to vote against the BSU because it has always been mis–
understood and misrepresented, like most organizations of students
of color which are outspoken.
You decrease your chances of being a solution for the future
every time you react negatively to a novel idea, viewpoint or action .
If
you're white and expect to be a part of the BSU without help-
