Tim Wise on white privilege

[Blackking]

Am I wrong though?

Tim Wise has lived a very privileged upper class lifestyle. He also lives in a 97% white community while preaching about how much 'privilege' all the other working poor white people have.

The majority of the white people in the United States don't have the privileges that Tim Wise has, they make significantly less money, don't have the opportunity to send their children to good schools, the manufacturing sector that once employed a lot of these people is gone and their votes mean nothing in the long run.

Tim will always use the argument that poor and working class white people have been tricked into "voting against their best interests", Well i would ask Tim and his supporters who would you like them to vote for?

Both parties privatize gains as they socialize risk, both parties support extreme corporatism. The current administration still spends ridiculous amount of money on national defence and national building projects. This administration can kill it's own citizens without anyone batting an eyelash. The NSA scandal, etc, etc.

Tim Wise and others like him have created an open class warfare against the "Wrong Type of White People". They blame the poor and working poor whites for the ill's of the country as they sit in their rich, white, bourgeois enclaves. That is real privilege.

Leftoids also create racial animosity because they blame the working poor, wrong type of whites, who really don't have much power at all, and all of the non-whites will support this rhetoric simply because they don't like whites or even hate white people and want to play revenge politics.

You should pay attention to reality. And FYI, Wise and 'people like him' didn't create shyt. CAC created the climate- others just speak on the obvious.

To be real.. Most white people know this shyt.

a lot of these libertarian types seem to be clueless on these issues. i dont know how much of that is BS or not, but they routinely make these arguments that seek to absolve rank and file white americans for their role in white supremacy.

"When I was a Revolutionary Marxist, we were all in favour of as much immigration as possible.

It wasn't because we liked immigrants, but because we didn't like Britain. We saw immigrants - from anywhere - as allies against the staid, settled, conservative society that our country still was at the end of the Sixties.

Also, we liked to feel oh, so superior to the bewildered people - usually in the poorest parts of Britain - who found their neighbourhoods suddenly transformed into supposedly 'vibrant communities'.

If they dared to express the mildest objections, we called them bigots.

Revolutionary students didn't come from such 'vibrant' areas (we came, as far as I could tell, mostly from Surrey and the nicer parts of London).

We might live in 'vibrant' places for a few (usually squalid) years, amid unmown lawns and overflowing dustbins.

But we did so as irresponsible, childless transients - not as homeowners, or as parents of school-age children, or as old people hoping for a bit of serenity at the ends of their lives.

When we graduated and began to earn serious money, we generally headed for expensive London enclaves and became extremely choosy about where our children went to school, a choice we happily denied the urban poor, the ones we sneered at as 'racists'.

What did we know, or care, of the great silent revolution which even then was beginning to transform the lives of the British poor?

To us, it meant patriotism and tradition could always be derided as 'racist'. "

Right, and I highly doubt anyone who was white and indifferent/dismissive of the shyt would be strongly persuaded by Tim Wise to be honest.

Curiously enough, few people ever challenge his arguments --- just generic attacks on him as a person: "blah blah, how can he talk about racism when he's white and privileged...blah, blah, hes a divider"

this is always the case, they never challenge the actual content, just kill the messenger. Jose Canseco send help

To be real.. Most white people know this shyt.

I dunno, some are oblivious...if not are you saying they just choose to be what they are?

Talk of the devil, people are going in on Wise today for this dumbass tweet...

And here is a good critique of Tim Wise...
Word to the Wise: Unpacking the White Privilege of Tim Wise | People Of Color Organize!

that was a terrible critique. tim wise always points out he's benefited and continues to benefit from white privilege. i particularly remember one video where he says that nothing he's saying is new or revolutionary, and that the only reason people listen is because he's white, that if a black or person of color said the exact same thing they'd probably be ignored.


and for people saying that most/all white people are aware of this- they are not. that's why you have old angry crackers like michael savage whining about how "hard' he had it growing up and how "difficult" it was for him to achieve what he's achieved in life, and at the same time complains about how much easier it is for minorities to get ahead because of affirmative action.

It seems like he addressed his criticism all the time so that people will get over it, yet they still say the same shyt about him.

"When you come for a white man that is supposedly a 'white savior' for black people, black people will come at your neck because that inner slave mentality..."

"If he really talked against white supremacy, if he really talked against that system, he would talk against the system of his survival"

"Europeans have never had a golden age that was self sustained, self created and self produced"

"You can tell them all about racism all you want but they're not gonna stop being racist, cause it's their survival"

"You just like to see a white man talk for you. And that's some bullshyt"

"When it comes to us and our experiences, share US, post US, so subconsciously you can teach yourself that you're worthy of talking for yourself"

"Maybe we need more hate, because love is what got us in this place in the first place"
