@mamaluigi: What does white privilege have to do with random people of color committing crime? Most WP are killed by WP. Most BP are killed by BP. Poor WP just never get it. The struggle of people of color is your struggle too. You keep covering yourself in the shroud of whiteness. How about just being a person of low income in America? Your power base grows considerably. But you can't let go of your "whiteness" can you? Because you think being white is your most important asset.

the idea that we should start ignoring race (and consequently the remaining effects of centuries of racist government, culture, economy, and society) is seriously the dumbest fucking apologist bullshit on the planet. yeah, if we could just jump straight ahead to utopialand it'd be great, but the world doesn't work like that. race is here whether you like it or not

maybe you should actually study ALL of history and see how truly idiotic the idea of white privilege really is.

white privilege is nothing more than an attempt by a self hating white Jew to criminalize having a white majority nation.

just because white people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are wrong, maybe you are wrong.

Unfortunately minorities think they are ultimate authority on race and whatever they say must be acknowledged as fact, they are arrogant and ignorant of the other side's point of view so they find a joke like Tim Wise to justify their supposed authority on the subject.

you care about Communism because ANYONE can suffer from it, you care about global warming because black people vote for Democrats who keep pushing global warming bull, you care about Iraq because you are an AMERICAN.

you don't hear any white issues, just American ones, white issues are low birthrates, multiculturalism destroying European culture etc, which is considered racist to be anything but PRO anti white.

you have no right to complain about anything.

but yet he is empowering the elite by saying people having to vote in big government candidates like Obama.

If he really believed in what he said then he would advocate for the destruction of racial programs funded by the govt., instead of empowering racial programs to create further division.

Tim Wise is no better than Jackson or Sharpton, and he hates the average white person as well.
