6. HUMANITARIAN - white

White people move into this stage when they begin to: - trust themselves for answers- look toward more evolved whites for

guidance

They develop a full awareness of race and embrace all cultures (including white culture)

6. HUMANITARIAN - PofC

• Meet others as individuals w/o forgetting history and culture

• Committed to thinking and actions that are for the betterment of ALL people—regardless of their race and/or ethnicity.

Letter From Daily Collegian - 2006

Race Does Not Define Student: Last Wednesday, while walking down College Avenue a young man yelled out of

his pickup truck, “quit looking at me n___.” Now it must be said the concern is not whether or not I was looking at him but, rather, that he felt so comfortable to express his sentiments in such an open manner. And because he has been allowed to share his attitudes, I feel it only fair for me to be allowed to express mine. However, I assure you my comments will not be littered with negativity or racial remarks. To you, sir, whoever you may be, my name is not “n___.” My name is daughter, companion, niece, ally. I am an individual with an identity that has nothing to do with what you think represents black culture. By no means will I assume that your opinions are representative of the majority of Penn State students, many of whom I know as friends. And so in conclusion, dear sir, I hope that you feel better. I hope that you’ve gotten it out of your system. I will continue to live life unfazed by your opinions about me. My name is not “n___.” My name is friend, and perhaps one day you will see this. ~ Junior, Political Science
