The Pathology of Privilege: Racism, White Denial & the C

[natina]

I LIKE THIS SO MUCH I FELT IT NEEDED ITS OWN THREAD

In this spellbinding lecture delivered at Mt. Holyoke College in October 2007, Tim Wise explores the related phenomena of institutional racism and white privilege, and how they continue to operate in the United States. Wise explores the problem of white denial dating back generations, and the way in which the concept of whiteness was created in the 1600s, largely as a mechanism for dividing working class persons of European descent from persons of color, for the benefit of elites.

Intellectual arguements against racism seldom work. Racism is a perceptual phenomenon.

I agree with most of what he said. The way I have experienced this in my own life was summed up by Lee Smolin. In his book called "The problem with Physics" he writes that there are three kinds of people who don't get jobs. Women, non white men, and people with strange new ideas.
