Your view: Equality for all, regardless of skin color

I am writing in regards to Friday’s front-page story, “Charges fly at MSU CAP meeting” where racist accusations are being made against MSU and the state of Minnesota.

Have any of these people ever considered that they are already being given a benefit above the other 14,000 students at MSU? They did not qualify for college, yet they have been admitted.

They are being handed money for schooling, yet are unable to exercise financial responsibility. It seems they only want more.

Use some sense. If you can’t afford your financial obligations, find a job and work like the rest of us.

This claim of racism is nearly offensive to me. If anything, I should be able to take this stance due to the fact that despite my superior academic qualifications, I have never received financial aid.

It is obvious and overly redundant that I state this, but humans should be treated equally regardless of their skin color.

I wish people like Spike Moss could understand this.
