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.

You wouldnt be asking that question if you had done the reasearch so obviously none that you didnt read... Just google "Who benefits most from affirmative action?" or something along those lines, I am going to assume you have access to the internet given that you are on it now.

59.8% of London is White... 44.9% British White. Thats the majority... and even if it werent Londons population is only 8.174 million, Britain as a whole is 60+ million.

London is the capitol city, its a tourist destination and home to the embassies... of course you get diversity there and even with all that in mind, no other group comes close to the British White population let alone the White population as a whole in volume.

Whose studies, pray tell?

[CraigMetalHead]

Studies show the group that benefits most from affirmative action is white women, a bare minimum of research before forming an opinion is the bare minimum anyone has ever asked of each and every one of us... why are you falling short of that first hurdle?

ALL races have killed each othr. White privlidge is BS. If Blacks get preference in jobs & education, then it is BLACKS who are privlidged, not whites

[popdiva3001]

White people don't see it because people don't ever see when they are privileged. When you have always had something you don't recognize it as important. Think of it this way...the clothes you have,your family or friends are a given. What you have would only be significant to people that don't have it. But this is less to do with racism and more to with human's tendency to look at what others have than what they themselves take for granted. You watch the laptop on tv and someone watches your tv.

London is now minority White. Soon there will be no more cultural diversity in London because the British culture will be annihilated. That'd be ok with this spineless grub Tim Wise.
