Tim Wise: On White Privilege (Clip)

http://www.MediaEd.org

From the DVD:

The Pathology of Privilege
Racism, White Denial & the Costs of Inequality

For years, acclaimed author and speaker Tim Wise has been electrifying audiences on the college lecture circuit with his deeply personal take on whiteness and white privilege. In this spellbinding lecture, the author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son offers a unique, inside-out view of race and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a non-confrontational explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color, but to white people as well. This is an invaluable classroom resource: an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a critical new tool for exploring the often invoked - but seldom explained - concept of white privilege.

My dad always says that America is the greatest country in the world, but our hands aren't exactly clean. I mean...this is real life. This HAPPENED. It's hard to swallow...but it's truth. :/

@chrisphd1

the "whites" you see as riding backs of workers are mostly juice who have interbred with EuroWHITES for centuries & pass for white now so you dont see who the MONEY MASTERS are

look up "The Money Masters" vids and get educated

intermarriage, inter breeding IS the problem

diluting every race so the self chozen can hide their nefarious actions behind "WHITE MANS CRIMES" this malfeasance lets them hide their crimes as they get to BLAME their hated enemy the WHITE RACE

I wonder if this "White Privilege" works over in China, Japan, Mexico, Haiti, and Zimbabwe.

@Blahblobify Pay attention to what he says. He says that poor White people have it as hard as African Americans. However, racism distracts them from fighting for their rights. In real terms, white racist politics helps poor White people undermine their own economic situation.Historically, this has been true, not only in the U.S., but in any country with ethnic strife.

People like Tim Wise are pushing the Big Lie that white people just naturally have it good. White people MAKE it good, and if minorities really found white people so awful ,they'd try like hell to stay away from us. Instead we can't scrape them off with a stick because they are parasites that like living among whites rather than their own kind..

@wehrwolf. Very well said, excellent critique... What's needed today is your kind of intelligence and intellect. I beleive people have simply stopped "thinking", of course its by design. I see Y.Tube videos saying American's have been "dumbed down" through media, fluoride, vaccines ext... i don't wanna believe that lol. But I truley believe there is nothing more powerful than Consciousness/Spirit, if we at least stop and "think" for a change, we can begin to defend ourselves from the b.s. imo

[Wehrwolf2012]

@chrisphd1 Use your observation & critical thinking skills. "If you seek those in power seek those you cannot criticize". Is it acceptable to harshly criticize whites, today? Can you criticize jews w/o your world caving in on you? You have a phd, too? These days possessing a higher level degree just means the holder is even more willing to toe the line because they have even more invested in the system. Your attitude confirms this, doc.

@anywayokey Truth is: "racism" is a social construct.

@sophiah88

Lol, they hate whites too(to the same degree), hell a lot of them even hate Asians that aren't the same Asian that they are. The difference being that it's been 'okay' to dislike darker skinned people because that's what people have been taught. Watching a darker person in a store? "that's fine cuz you know, those people have a tendency to steal." A paler person? "no worries, we can trust them, they already have it all already, right? i have nothing to offer."

Tim Wise is so funny. He's all into "race is a social construct" but at the same time he seems to spend a lot of time yelling at "white people."

Listen, here is the truth: At its core the whole "race is a social construct" dialog is purely anti-white. Everyone knows that.
