http://www.MediaEd.orgFrom the DVD:The Pathology of PrivilegeRacism, White Denial & the Costs of InequalityFor 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.

IGNORING SOMEONE=DEATH (NOT in the literal sense, of course, but i think it's much worse than actual death. it's a statement!)and no amount of quotes from John Stuart Mill or Noam Chomsky will change that this time around!!!

aldeb, also, what's terrifyingly disturbing about racists is that they always transfer and project their own fears (paranoia) to non-racists (egalitarians?). to recap, in case someone misunderstands this: these people (racists) think that just b/c they would love to exterminate anyone who opposes them, the opposition would do the same to them. How sad and sick!!!

oh, and aldeb, when lictor told you very recently to stop "texting" him ( you shouldn't have given out your cell number to him), and to sfu, then i guess he was censoring you. but that's ok, since he is white, and you're black. see, that's how it works.and i guess, it also ok for chinese to be racists, since they contribute so much to us economy, so who cares, right? it's all about money and corruption. Hypocrisy? as i said, i REALLY have to go now...

chinese are sub-humans now...!wow model egalitarian!hey anyu just a question, would you exterminate racists like me? put me in concentration camps etc? china is a vigorous nation with a future, America is a multi-racial wasteland, filled with biological refuse, dirty and squalid cities and hated by the entire world. China has a head on its shoulders, while america is printing fake money... america is a dead nation waiting for the undertaker.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. ~Noam Chomskydenying a forum for the exchange of ideas or platform from which dissenters can speak is another form of censorship.. you should re-read you're "Manufacturing Consent" especially the part about the "new censorship mechanisms"

Hitler congratulated Owens during the medal ceremony... Jesse Owens also said that he was treated better by the third reich then back in america... that jesse owens snub is nothing but media lies... Ironically, the real snub of Owens came from President Franklin D. Roosevelt who never publicly acknowledged Owens' achievements (gold in the 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter relay, and long jump). Owens was never invited to the White House and never even received a letter of congratulations.

sorry you guys, but i cannot spend the entire Saturday here in Europe on my stairs (being the only place with connection), so i'll only risk one more comment:For the benefit of the confused and misguided:"Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material" - i'm not advocating that. there is a huge difference between boycotting or censoring. I let you guys look up the other word. Good day to you all!

that's terrible, aldeb. You know what prompted desegregation in the US in the 60's? you probably do, but to recap: hypocrites wanted money coming into US economy. When these rich Africans came to the US, it was pretty embarrassing to find room and board for them in segregated hotels and restaurants, so presto, segregation was on its way! How dirty and low some sub-humans can be!!!

This year Anyu, with the Olympics in China, the Chinese want to boycott and not have Blacks in any of their establishments ( restaurants, bars, etc.). They think we are savages, even though most of the athletes are in college (which means nothing) and most are drug free (with their rigourous testing). We can compete with them athletically, but we can't eat next to them. Go figure!
aldeb456 (July 26, 2008 at 3:39 am)
The thing is Anyu, once your mind is set about something, you can't really debate it cause your view is so narrow no knowledge can be shared.Hitler refused to shake Jesse Owens hand in the 36' Olympics cause he felt Blacks were animals and it wasn't fair for us to compete against any other races. You couldn't change Hitler's mind if you wanted to. Doctors have even reported that Blacks are built differently from Whites. Makes up better? No!
