White Privilege, Racism, White Denial & The Cost of Inequality [View all]



Cross posted from my reply on a Video & MultiMedia thread by ReasonableToo as requested by seabeyond:

Requested video of Tim Wise on White Priviledge

This may not have been what RT intended to add in the OP, but I posted it just in case.

Tim Wise 'gets it.' I've posted his words several times at DU with mixed responses. I don't know how anyone could disagree with him. The facts are so obvious.

This certainly is not news to anyone at this group. This needs to be said unitl it sinks in.

I saw reports that communities of color are the ones doing worst in the water crisis in West Virginia. This has been going on for so long, so much that environmental justice advocates always find it in play.

The cause of troubles in the AA community is systematic, I've seen it all my life. It was blatant and in the past it was discussed in the media, but now nothing is said.

Hope this belongs here, and that people who don't usually post in the group will see it and think.
