Excellent commentary by Tim Wise. As some of you probably know, I'm a "white" guy married to a "black" woman. Institutional racism is in the local (New Orleans) news a lot lately. It's grown much worse during the Bush years. I hope some of the white privilege deniers and anti affirmative action posters on Asus' board watch the series. Maybe they'd learn something...Naw!
fuagf, and all -- truly outstanding presentation by Tim Wise, far and away the best on the theme I've ever seen, and perhaps the best 1-hour lecture of any sort I've ever seen -- hadn't seen this presentation of his before -- thank you (been meaning to get back to this, guess now's as good as ever)
to have it right here in full, here is the complete presentation (including Part 1 you provided) -- with my highest recommendation, hugely worth the watch:
