“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” President Lyndon B. Johnson
@Bane7212 I really think the majority of individuals right and left are racist or have in-group bias. White liberals seem to have a strong out-group bias. Those biases are racist in nature. Your value or worth as an individual is defined by your race depending on the bias the individual has. Most often giving those with whom look like them preference or some loyalty to. All Tim Wise is doing here is saying white individuals are worthy of guilt and shaming for it. Which is itself a form of racism. No different than WWII bad guys demonizing and dehumanizing certain groups. We self-segregate and we tend to feel more comfortable around our own group. All human beings tend to be like this regardless of race or ethnicity. Racism will never solve racism. Only encourage tribalism, feed resentment between different groups and finally create the main byproduct of dehumanization. Which is...
What is being said is FACTS, simple measurement of proof. The poorest states in this country are Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas, yet they are the most racist states in the nation. It was those states that had the greatest attention given to it doing the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. You think that was by accident, no it was by design and manipulation. This method of divide and conquer works very well in those state. Their Educational systems are the worse in the nation, now the Elites of this country are trying desperately to attack education on a national level, because a mass group of ignorant people are EASILY manipulated and controlled. Why is it getting HARDER AND HARDER to pay for a college education ?
Considering the fact he's openly Jewish (it's a fact UA-cam tyrants calm down) and they DON'T view themselves as White and THEY owned ALL of the slave ships, isn't this racism? Again, another fact. This isn't "hate speech" and you can't censor the comment, just to hide the truth. It goes against UA-cam guidelines.
@@scottwilson5840 All they stated was the truth. They've been blaming White people for Centuries for Slavery. When they owned every slave ship, ran all the auctions which closed on their holidays and African Americans possess THEIR Surnames. If White people supposedly enslaved them, why do they ALL possess THEIR Surnames? I guess the truth makes you angry.
That fact that he uses facts and history and these comments are trolling like what he saying is just his own beliefs system. Truly sad. Stand for truth sometimes people
As a low wage worker in my younger years I witnessed entire families being held in private homes within the wealthy community of Villanova Pa. The south American workers lived on the compounds some explained that they had been there for several years and that they never left the property because they all were illegal citizens. One woman explained that she and her family were picked at the board by men in trucks which the different families paid a large fee to be transported to either private estates, large farms or companies with undocumented workers. I would have not believed had I not listened to this woman's story . At the time I worked for a large catering company and we did a lot of high end functions. We or I would meet the people who worked on the property and they were always from some place south of America. This was back in the mid 90s. Therefore let's not forget how immigrants are being transported around the states by organized American smugglers. Please think about farm workers, chicken processing plants, car washes, domestic workers, etc. We forget that there is a whole engine of others profiting off of immigrants here illegally ❤ God bless
Next up: Tim Wise goes to Palestine to talk about Jewish privilege.. then he takes a quick flight to any country in north AFRICA to talk about ARAB MUSLIM privilege (notice I didn't say "Black/African" privilege in AFRICA) lol.. then its off to China to talk about Chinese/Han privilege and we will finish off with Sunni privilege in Iran (them Shia's got it rough).... Stay tuned we can all learn alot from this man!!!! XD
Duke Dune yeah, I didn't see the part where he threatened white kids either. I do however see that the type of factual history lessons Wise presents threatens everyone who believes the narrative of meritocracy. Every speaker Ive ever heard who tells the TRUTH about the history of blacks, or Indians, or any people of color are HATED by those who rely on fear and ignorance to PERPETUATE their own beliefs and standing in America. They try to find something about the speaker that they feel is a flaw, so that he can be discounted. They say, "oh he's a damn jew, so what he say is mesningless". You can replace jew with virtually any religion other than christianity or any race other than white. Its funny... and TRAGIC: they discount and degrade anyone who knows the history that points at the issues this country overlooks, and tells people of color, who developed under a system of oppression (since the birth of our nation) to forget the historical seeds planted that created the inequities, were all equal now, so know you're PLACE.... Similar to what women live under. Some have even fed in and decades later, they truly believe systematic racism isn't real... Fear and ignorance keeps them locked in a belief system that defends our NATIONAL MISEDUCATION.....Home of the brave, huh? Yeah....
@Ruthlessnoodle He's against Oligarchy Rule and the hate(white supremacy) it requires to galvanize the vote to politicians that hand the country over to the super rich for tax cuts, regulatory roll backs and race based capitalism (genocide of the native to steal their land, slavery, Jim crow, bank redlining, mass incarceration, revenue policing, voter suppression, gerrymandering and other unethical practices) Minorities maybe the primary targets but whites are collateral damage to these practices as well...Lets unite!
It’s a shame that the people that need to hear this the most, wont, simply because they’re so triggered by the words “white privilege”. His entire message is a benefit to both the black and white working class. Seriously, he’s not blaming you for being part of the “privileged”. He’s saying that your inclusion in that group is basically pittance for what you could actually be earning if you’d only recognize that you have far more in common with working blacks than elite whites. The attacks on him however are predictably par for the course; angry poor individualistic whites who think they’re only a few steps away from being the next Trump. Enjoy that privilege because without a labor revolution, it’s the only real wealth you’re ever going to obtain. Peace.
You oughta see all the Hispanic privilege going on in Mexico. The Native privilege on reservations is strong and dominant. The black privilege happening in the Congo in Africa is extreme. Asian privilege in Japan is at an all time high.
+Pen & Paper Where are the examples of this Hispanic privilege, this Asian privilege, or even this black privilege in Africa. Have you been to these places? Have you studied them, pulled examples, statistics? Have you any proof what so ever other than your word (which I guess we are suppose to believe for some reason)? Doubtful, and do you want to know why? Because I've been to Mexico, I've been to Africa and I know for a fact that neither of those things exist. In Africa there are white people, though granted they are very few in numbers. As a minority in a foreign country I guess these people should be living poorly on the streets do to "Black Privilege", am I right? Well, too bad cause that's not so. The white people there are the same as any other person. Whites are not persecuted, or considered criminals or illegal immigrants based on their skin tone. Based on your knowledge this fact shouldn't be true, well news flash! This "Black Privilege" you speak of doesn't exist. The same goes for Mexico. In my short time there I saw no persecution of the white race, and I went there with 20 white classmates. Based on how the true results panned out for these bullshit allegations you through out of that thing you call brain, I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say white people are persecuted in Japan by the Japanese. But some how, here in America we have white people like you defending the fact of discrimination and white privilege (which I find worse than not acknowledging its existence).
James Kangethe Born and raised in Mexico. Much more familiar with it than you could possibly be from your little school trip. . You have no clue how Mexico treats it's immigrants especially it's illegal immigrants. The rest of what you said it complete garbage. Busy now, address the rest of your ridiculously flawed views later.

@@LukeLovesRose what would your kids have to feel bad about. I think you just don't want them to have any disdain for America. If your child learned the TRUTH about the country and come to the conclusion that she didn't like it, then what does that say about the country.
As a homeless white male, who hasn't been able to find so much as a dishwashing job since graduating from a big 10 university a year and a half ago, having attended classes while living in my car for most of the time I was there, who gets looked at as if I'm a bodybuilder asking an old woman to help me lift something if I say anything about how difficult it's been to stay above water without any support from friends or family, I can testify to the power of my white privilege. It's like a cloak of power that allows people to view whatever my circumstances are, no matter how hard I've tried to change them, as a result of my own laziness and nothing else. As someone who has been to social workers and outreach programs and shelters and found that none of them are remotely intended to help me, the last five years of my life have been a gorgeous thrill-ride through my male privilege and white privilege. The homeless guys on the street too, I know for a fact they're enjoying the shit out of their male privilege. I say "homeless guys" because they are literally all fucking men.
Peter DeWitt White privilege doesn't mean all white people have it easy. whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/straight-white-male-the-lowest-difficulty-setting-there-is/
IMHO one thing I noticed is we have a tendency to take a general conversation and make it about ourselves. I am sorry for your experiences and I can relate, a little. I too spent about 2 years homeless with a child and 9 years moving place to place until I could finally build a foundation. If you listen to the video, the history he outlines is interesting and it is not about individual circumstances because we can all fall victim to it. It is about the elite using these illusions to continue to gain for themselves. Donald Trump talks about closing the border and making the poor immigrants the villain. While he chants it and his base, predominantly white and male support him. He is supporting policies that benefit him and other wealthy people. He applied for H1-B visas to have foreigners work at Maralago. He supported a tax plan giving the lion's share of the benefits to corporations and the wealthy claiming it would trickle down and all we have witnessed is more companies leaving, people losing their jobs etc. They don't care because they can find poor people to do the work based on the conditions they offer. So this is not about your unique challenges although I understand it is sad, deplorable, frightening and beyond challenging. It is about a small percentage people using the ancient game of divide and conquer that contributes to keeping you in the circumstances you are in because they don't care about you or anyone else. They simply use you / us to main divide and conquer.
And yet you have a cellphone or personal computer to watch this. Really? Please. Let's play this out for fun. Since you as a white person being unemployed the system therefore cant be against Black people because of your personal position. Exhibut A of White privilege thinking at its greatest. Pathetic.
No matter what. He’s telling the truth. Hes a Jew and will still maintain his privilege. No harm will come to him unlike like Malcolm, Martin etc. 😂. Y’all can say what ya want. He ain’t fucking lying 💯🤷🏾♀️
If you really look at this with an open mind you would realize he isn't bashing white people. He is explaining reasons why this racial divide came to be... Really listen to it....
I just listened to him give a speech live tonight at my school and he made a really amazing comment that: if you fit in what society considers the “norm” group you have the ability of ignoring the issues of what society considers the “non-normative” groups around you because you don’t have to deal with the everyday issues they do. So for example if someone has a disability, it’s obvious there are things in the world that could be changed to better help people with disabilities and as a person without disabilities you have the ability to ignore these problems and go about your life because you don’t have to live with the difficulty of having a disability. You don’t have to think about “wow how can we make easier access for people with disabilities” or “wow how could we help people with disabilities get resources they need”, that may not necessarily be beneficial to you, but more than not someone with a disability will think about those things because they are real issues they have to live with everyday. Same with being colored, or having different sexual identities, if you aren’t in those groups and if you don’t have to live with it yourself, you have the ability to ignore it. And THAT is what the problem is.
this would be meaningful if the american media didn't constantly harp on minority rights, politicians didn't harp on minority rights, and the academic system didn't constantly harp on minority rights. To make those ideas any more pervasive you'd have to start implanting brain chips (which I think will actually happen).
EXACTLY. No one really cares about BW and the femicide, matricide, and medical treatment inequalities because they aren't a Black woman. Therefore, they 'believe' they are not affected. This is done not realizing that it's Black WOMEN that are the TRUE backbone of the Black Community. Not the men, because we have never been able to rely on the MEN for anything (e.g. no resources, no ownership, no economic presence).
I don't think people understand or WANT to understand. But this guy makes sense!!! And as for him being a (racist?) Uhhh he's Jewish and he seems to say what things are ( not saying that he is or isn't a racist or being Jewish is stating he can't be ... ). No one wants to hear the truth, sometimes it's brutal. If anything he seems to state ( facts ) !!!
@Anthony Joseph You know what, in another generation or two you might just evolve an oppossable thumb and jettison your prehensile tail. A second had, third rate rant sourced directly out of Henry Ford's colon.... And guess what, when Ford's DEARBORN INDEPENDENT continued to print hogwash like you are spouting; Czarist BS about the PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION; and inflammatory, libelous screeds, he was sued, made to back up his bullshit in a court of law, compelled to issue a formal apology, fold his newspaper, and pay a substantial cash settlement, which the litigant in question gave in its entirety to CHARITY. Bon appetite Reinhard Heydrich, to you and your Geek Chorus of Gutless Grifters, high fiving each other while cowering behind the digital wall of a chat room, exchanging ANTIFA conspiracy theories, listening to Alex Jones--as talking this brand of dungfuck smack to any carbon based life form in the real world (Jewish or otherwise), would garner a punch in the nose. May you, like Heydrich, and other cowards and bullies, meet a similar fate.
@Anthony Joseph Thanks for a quai-civil response, however Good Golly Miss Molly, was that ever...weak. Shlomo? Hahaha...MEDIC. Might even be teeny bit hurtful if it were not so third hand and second rate. Apparently folks like you are way too WOKE to let us sinister muthas put one over on you. To paraphrase Bobby The Brain Heenan, what frightens me the most about smug, pseudo-intellectual poseurs like yourself, is that you can breed and you can vote. As for further engagement, well, it's been edifying, but, if I might reference Alabama head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, when asked to comment on one of your spiritual fore-bearers, George Wallace, he consuled "It's best not to wrestle with a pig...the pig enjoys itself, and you get dirty. Shalom, my little putz.
Yea...ppl gonna deny what he says in totality because they want to deny that there is a system of privilege garnered to a specific race. I came from the middle class, and I'm nit afforded the same opportunities as a white person with the exact same qualifications as I. And that isn't saying that it's regular white people fault, because a lot of whites feel attacked because they truly have nothing to do with the perpetration of this system. But it truly does exist, and denial, instead of analyzing it yourself, only leads to more tension between humans.
in these comments I see people don't really get what whitewashing , and whiteness is ?, its more then skin colour maybe have a watch with an open mind and less ignorance , it'll make your day a lot better :)
I'm just hear to listen to a man able to tell history with a profound taste for justice, judgment, and equity with tried accuracy without shame, with honor for knowing the difference. If the world was turning for the better of education this guy would be a renown professor. This guy is a educator I will miss when he passes.
Recently I was debating a right wing conservative nutjob on this subject and he caught me off guard by saying: "Well if non-whites just stayed away from white people, wouldn't that end all white privilege?" I told him that it has already been established that people of color cannot be equal unless we force white society to let them come and live with them. He then said: "So non-whites can't be equal unless they get to live around whites...yet when they do you complain about white privilege?" I said: "Exactly!" He then laughed at me and as I couldn't think of any catchy hashtag slogans at the time to respond with, my liberal instincts kicked in and I called him a racist Nazi bastard and said I refused to continue the conversation with such a hateful bigot, walked away, and posted his name and personal info on the internet in hopes that some poor oppressed person of color would deal with him. But I've been carefully watching Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and The Young Turks trying to find a counter argument that I could repeat like it was my own idea if that situation ever came up again...but to no avail.
Shlomo Shut-it-downstein UA-cam monitor\moderator You were a good debate partner until you started insulting that guy. You are just as worse as him for just insulting him, which won't make him even want to listen to you again.
You sir are a moron. Nothing you said made any sense...You have the "logic" of one of the spiritually bankrupt white supremacists that Tim was talking about.
The thing I hate is that as a white guy born in the 1980's, I personally had nothing to do with slavery or even the civil rights movement, yet I still receive scorn or at the least, mistrust from other people who were affected (or again at the least, their parents/grandparents were). Why must I (or anyone else from my generation) have to contend with the negativity that is rightly deserved for the people of the past who committed these attrocities?
Because there’s still people who hate us because of the color of our skin and our background. Most white people still reap the benefits of colored peoples work and suffering. You probably will never truly know what it’s like to be a person of color in America. Always having to work twice as hard to get a slice of the pie. And that is why POC have resentment towards white people especially to those who are ignorant to our issues because why care if it doesn’t affect you right?
A black person would like your white privileges that you take for granted. It is not your fault, then why is it still happening? Why not speak up, help do something when you see it happening? Why turn a blind eye to discrimination? Why are blacks treated like they are not humans? Why are whites being brainwashed to be afraid of blacks?
What you need to understand is that you are presently benefiting from the decisions of your ancestors - your white skin. They cuddle you with jobs, housing, deceive you into believing you’re better & voting for them, and etc. When they get in office (Republicans), they lower their taxes and constantly make cuts to what affects us. Trump lowered their taxes to 11% last time in office while we still pay 37% of our income. Biden increased their taxes a little. They have the middle and lower classes fighting over things that really don’t matter that they really don’t care about while they are controlling the strings. It’s more of us than them. Since the rich know how to manipulate, change is difficult because people loved being cuddled even though they don’t know they”re being cuddled. As Steve Biko said, the greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the minds of the oppressed.

A video criticizing white supremecists for blaming black people for all their problems, and now suddenly the comments section is full of white supremecists blaming on their problems on Jews. I wish I was surprised by this.
Denshuu Totally agree.. just recently I was debating a right wing conservative nutjob on this subject and he caught me off guard by saying: "Well if non-whites just stayed away from white countries, wouldn't that end all white privilege?" I told him that it has already been established that people of color cannot be equal unless we force white society to let them come and live with them.

White Slaves, African Masters Reviews have praised White Slaves, African Masters: An Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives, a book that has revealed the slavery of North American colonists by Barbary privateers. "Some of the most popular stories in nineteenth-century America were sensational tales of whites captured and enslaved in North Africa. White Slaves, African Masters for the first time gathers together a selection of these Barbary captivity narratives, which significantly influenced early American attitudes toward race, slavery, and nationalism. Though Barbary privateers began to seize North American colonists as early as 1625, Barbary captivity narratives did not begin to flourish until after the American Revolution. During these years, stories of Barbary captivity forced the U.S. government to pay humiliating tributes to African rulers, stimulated the drive to create the U.S. Navy, and brought on America's first post-revolutionary war. These tales also were used both to justify and to vilify slavery."
Yup, surprise surprise! The history books fucked up! "Oh we forgot! White people weren't the only slave masters! Hurr durr! I guess some good comes with some bad!"
"But I would wager every cent I have that no one can point out a country not founded on genocide and slavery. It's just a matter of how far back you look." - This is the truth and is verifiable to anyone who cares to research it, of course they won't because the truth doesn't matter to these demons, all that matters is spreading their hatred. They act like Puritans and they're to hypocritical to see it,
Visser .Three I agree with Visser. Thee. Everyone has a dark history. My people have almost no recorded history dating back before the 18th century. We were slaughtered, raped, and our leaders were silenced. Hmong people migrated south to Laos and became highlanders only to be ruled over by the French people. (this is why a chunk Hmong people have hazel eyes and blonde hair). in 1965 a war broke out between America and North Vietnam over communism and the Americans got us involved. When the Americans lost the war, Hmong people were targeted for genocide. Women and female children were raped and killed, and men and male children were tortured and fed to the pigs. We're just like the Jewish people in history. What's also kind of a coincidence is that our culture now is very influenced by the Jewish people. I know right? crazy.
+Aspiring Pyramidbuilder He grew up with black people, predominately his class mates and friends, also his wife is black. It's not unimaginable that some black culture and mannerisms have rubbed off on him.
Listen closer. It's not that he speaking like "a black preacher", its poetic. Its being presented as if his speech is poetry. That tells me he is very passionate about what he has to say and what he has been awakend to.
Skin color is pretty low among the privilege bearing assets. There is also high IQ privilege. Physical attractiveness privilege. Education privilege. They are all just variables that will confer certain benefits in certain contexts.
Reading a lot of these comments in this thread has left me feeling genuinely sad... I'm truly baffled and deeply discouraged by much of what I've read here. So much baseless, blind hatred. It's palpable, and makes me feel a strong sense of trepidation. Like I've unwittingly stumbled into some deep, dark part of the Internet which exposes harsh truths that I don't wish to accept. To paraphrase from Doug Stanhope: "Nationalism (I'm further extrapolating this to include racism for the sake of this particular illustration) does nothing but make you hate a bunch of people you've never met, and take pride in achievements which you had no part in... It's dead people's baggage... STOP CARRYING IT." My hope for the future of THE HUMAN RACE has been rattled. Divide and conquer, indeed. Will we ever collectively wake up, remove the blinders and realize the single most evident truth: that we are all connected? We're all in this together. As one species, in case that is still unclear to anyone.
I understand what you are saying but young whites don't take criticism to white supremacy politics personal. Using fear and hate to divide and conquer the masses is as old as America itself. Young whites are idealistic, like people of color. All they see is a desire to put right over wrong. They like to see people put over corporate greed and want to push for freedom, equality and justice for all people. It will be young whites collaborating with people of color that will eventually take dark money out of politics so we can have a country that is of by and for the people. Politicians will have to win on ideas, not demonizing minorities to galvanize the white vote, only to hand the country over to Oligarchy rule. I have faith America will eventually win, just like we have in the past!
The Ruling Class for Centuries have always told poor and working class whites to hate people of color. If we rejected the divide and conquer narrative of the Ruling Class(racial animus), we could unify and take back control of the political, economic and moral direction of the country. Only then, we could finally have a country that is of the people, by the people and for the people.
Why doesnt Wise talk about Jewish privilege, hes a Jew, gets $4000 per speech, lives in an allwhite neighborhood $600,000 house. Sounds privileged to me!
211Jetsfan I mean, I don’t think that has anything to do with being Jewish. I’m Jewish, and broke as hell. I know its an old comment, and you probably don’t even remember writing it. Yea, he’s economically successful, but at least he’s not tearing people down. He’s explaining why racism happened, and why its still happening today. You don’t have to be broke, flat on your ass, to see the wrong in something. You don’t have to be in struggle, to understand how the world is a little shitty. Anyone can learn though, and listen first before making judgments.
@@ariellashahal1468 You're clearly missing the point. You must not being very good at reading. His point was not that he's rich because he's Jewish. His point is that Tim Wise is willing to acknowledge "white privilige", but he refuses to acknowledge Jewish privilige (he's also pro-Israeli).
Enny Okay, I feel like the insulting on my reading skills was unnecessary, but I can try to hear you out. I suppose he could have Jewish privilege, and that people can complain about that. However as we acknowledge white privilege, we also have to acknowledge that white privileged people and cultures have historically always had the upper hand. I’m sorry if my comment came off as ignorant-my point before was not to shut down the Jewish privilege. And at this point I’m not going to argue further. I’m glad you’re educated, and hope all is well with you.
The bottom line is, what he is saying is the truth. Right now he is speaking about White Privilege. Open your mind and understand and see it in your daily life. Now paint yourself dark for a week and see the difference. You cannot ignore it. Jump into a black man's shoes and visit a store, drive your expensive car around the block. Try to get the current job you have with your same qualifications, but as a black man. Would you get the job? Probably not. Would you get the same salary, definitely not. That's a black man's reality. That's my reality.
@stewrobb2329 is the most logical voice of these comments . The negative reactions to this video personifies that unfortunately there is still a sizeable segment of society that resists looking in the mirror, and continues to avoid real dialogue; because it exists inside of them, and they abhor being exposed . A bully rarely owns up to the fact they got away with bullying if they got comfortable doing it .
Do you believe Tim when he tells you that a larger and cheaper labor force, through open borders, does not impact people's wages? I do compensation analysis for a living. Anyone who tells you that flooding the labor market is not bad for wages, is either lying or is astounding foolish. The only people who want a more competitive labor market, and thus open borders, are the 1% who benefit from cheaper labor.
Cizfinestbaby92 and that's some scary shit. because we've seen time and time again exactly who suffers from that particular brand of brainwashing and reality denial.
5:23 Wise tries to discredit that illegal immigration undermines wages. This is wrong. Illegal immigration does do so. Even Cesar Chavez himself opposed illegal immigration and supported the Wall. Certain studies have found that Mexican-Americans who have been in the USA for a prolonged period of time oppose illegal immigration the same way White Working Class do. Sure there are other reasons why workers may not be making money, but to ignore illegal immigration is a bad idea. In fact, Blacks are horribly affected by illegal immigration, probably more than Whites. Also, Obama deported more illegals than many other Presidents. It may be true that there were certain racial undertones which were there in the whole wall thing, but is it stopping any one from succeeding? No. Racism is not the cause of why Latinos and Blacks are lagging.
once again, Tim speaks The Truth! Hard to bear, isn't it? Or perhaps it's too complex...especially for trump supporters...much easier to hate black and brown folks....
@@giuffre714 3000 years ago? Yeah probably. I don't know how long you have to be somewhere to be considered indigenous.

"Talk of world peace is heard today only among the White peoples, and not among the much more numerous colored races. This is a perilous state of affairs. When individual thinkers and idealists talk of peace, as they have done since time immemorial, the effect is always negligible. But when whole peoples become pacifistic it is a symptom of senility. Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic. To adopt such a position is to abandon the future, for the pacifist ideal is a static, terminal condition that is contrary to the basic facts of existence." - Oswald Spengler
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Think about it....

We're Americans, of all colors... And there is only one way forward, one way to continue as a nation, and that is to put our identity as Americans first... otherwise there is no future for this nation. Only a failed past that we never escaped.
Considering the fact he's openly Jewish (it's a fact UA-cam tyrants calm down) and they DON'T view themselves as White and THEY owned ALL of the slave ships, isn't this racism? Again, another fact. This isn't "hate speech" and you can't censor the comment, just to hide the truth. It goes against UA-cam guidelines.
My family bloodline didn't exist in this country before 1918, and as italian immigrants were treated like shit until they earned respect. I DO NOT feel any "White guilt!"
Ralph Sicilian you shouldn't you stupid fuck lol why do white people always focus on feelings like feelings actually mean shit to anyone but the little bitch who's feeling them lol it's about learning and improving society
Your family tribe in 1919. White people were still given advantages Post 1919. Your family eventually became considered white and reaped white privilege benefits aka the new deal
***** Europe was made better after Charles the Hammer kicked the Moors out of Europe once and for good. And no again - Rome CONQUERED Egypt and TOOK the wheat but before that, all the wheat in the Roman empire came from Italy and southern France (after Julius Caesar conquered it).
***** Charlemagne was not Charles the Hammer. Charles Martel defeated the muslims permanently in the Battle of Tours in 732. Africans have invaded Europe several times sine the fall of Rome and the white man kicked their asses. Muslims have never stopped murdering European - have you ever bothered to look up the Armenian genocide? How about muslims crucifying Christian women in Armenia in 1915? Look up the pictures sometime.
The reality is racism exists in all groups and more racism, like you see here with the ideological doctrine espoused by Tim Wise, will only encourage and increase that. It will never help solve or be a solution to the problem racism and racial bias creates. I get it feeds and confirms your own prejudices and biases. Doesn't make it anything more than absolute racist drivel though. Remember that.
I'll admit that I haven't fully checked out Tim's views but judging from this he comes off like he's viewing U.S racial history through a socialist lens.
It was not until I got out of that situation I started trusting the system and taking advantage of stuff I had to offer. I changed my ideas and changed my habits to become someone who could work. Someone who didn't stay out until 5 am doing sketchy shit with sketchy people. I made a change. It worked out. My friends (of all colors) are now dead, in jail, or homeless. This is no longer about color. This is about poverty. Because poverty does not discriminate. Stop building walls again to divide people. Start attacking the issue of poverty and I guarantee you these problems will be solved.
This man is 100% percent absolutely right and on point. If anyone with a logical mind think about the white mans world and how it is run today this is common sense.
I am white and from Canada, and I agree that White Privilege exists and I wish that it did not exist. I have two young children, and I am trying my best to make sure that they grow up understanding that there are no lines between the races. That we are all human, and no one should be treated differently based on there skin colour. I want my children to grow up in a world where there is not word "race", and instead we are all just "people" regardless of our skin colour or culture. I want my children to embrace the diversity of different cultures, and fight against racial injustice in this world.
***** Why are you so defensive? Why does recognizing white privilege exist mean that you have to feel guilty for being white? That's like feeling guilty for being born with money, It's not you're fault that you were born with more than someone else. Also he never said anything about teaching his kids to feel guilty, he said that he would raise them to treat all people equally. Is that to much to ask for, that kids treat everyone like people? Maybe that's the thing you're really defensive about, maybe you prefer blacks as slaves.
Privilege is any advantage given to a particular group. Any racist in power can give this out. Getting hired rather than that black guy because your people aren't lazy is white privilege, not getting confronted by cops who got a call on you because black people steal is white privilege, Having your life viewed as more important because white's are leaders, is white privilege, going to school and not having others constantly remind you of your blackness, is white privilege. Acknowledging this or rather racism altogether is a step in helping stop it. If people would call out injustice when they see it instead of going along with it, we could make improvements. Imagine being judged for every stupid thing white people have ever done and that people have a preconceived notion of you based on that. Oh that white guy cant go to this school cause you know they like to shoot up places. Keep an eye on that white dude, they don't like paying taxes. It becomes tiresome having to prove yourself as not what everyone assumes you are. I don't expect for anyone to feel guilty for anything they haven't done, but if you see your brother getting mistreated, don't turn your head, stand with him. I've been with a black guy saying things about white people as a whole and that didn't sit right with me, and I let him know that.
Theodore Bartholomew Montgomery "privilege - a *special right*, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people." There are zero legal rights for whites that blacks don't also have (but blacks do have legal rights that whites don't #blackprivilege ). "privilege - a special right, *advantage*, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people." Every race has advantages in certain circumstances so there would also be a black privilege and every other race too, why not just save the trouble and just treat people on a case by case basis? "privilege - a special right, advantage, or *immunity* granted or available only to a particular person or group of people." What are white people immune to? Bullets? Fire? Also could you please call out specifically what I said that was racist and explain why. Blacks can run fast. Asians are smart. Jews hoard all the worlds gold. Whites have privilege. How can you not get how this is racist? "Because I never said anything negative about white people and acknowledging the existence of racism doesn't make someone a racist." I have no problem acknowledging racism after all that is why i'm talking to you. Lastly, stop trying to move the goalpost by using white privilege interchangeably with racism in a retarded attempt to straw-man me. You and i both know that our disagreement is about the concept of white privilege not racism.
Hey Tim, When I was 33 i finished a 6 yr prison bid, (for trying to stick up a gas station with my finger and failing. Then being ID'd as I was the "Only one in the area") and moved into a studio apt. In Trenton. As i was starting from scratch, I followed the advice of some pamphlets that I was given before release date, and applied for social services/assistance. Getting the Food stamps was not a difficult process, other than swallowing my pride. But i also had applied for medicare, and i learned that there was an affordable auto insurance rate, a dollar a day, specifically set up for recipients of the benefits i received, to give them the opportunity to get a vehicle legal for the road, which i thought was pretty helpful, so i brought all my paperwork in to the state operated auto insurance place in downtown Trenton, and spoke with someone, waited in the lobby area, and spoke with some of the other people waiting for their appointments, and my spirits were raised, as they all told me that they were either already receiving their dollar a day insurance, and were either there to make a payment or discuss other matters that could be handled at that location. I was told to bring back copys of all my paperwork, following day i dud, and after 35 minutes talking with one of their employees and checking all the boxes, he went in the back, did some fax or something, came back, went on to his computer, looked up at me and said, yeahhh, sorry, but looks like you dont qualify. I kept my calm, explained that i had read up on this, and i was in the same programs as everyone else in the office that already were on this insurance. No matter what, I was not qualified, he assured me. I fell into a "category" Was the last phrase he said before i had heard enough and left before i lost my head. I was also on DOC program, had to go to meetings, check in, etc, if you been through NJ system and paroled , you know the drill, until you have a job that they approve of. While other excons in the program with me were given passes to go Metal scrapping with their uncle instead of coming to programs, I had bosses i had met that would literally call my Parole officer, speak on my behalf, and attempt to get them to give me permission to go to work. One boss went so far as to say he would personally call my PO everyday I was at work and give location's. No, this just wouldn't do, for whatever reason. I had to limit my work to what i could find at nights after programs, and continue to attend senseless classes during the day about, Interview skills, social skills, and job preparation skills,which were quite unnecessary, seeing as i had no problem getting work, just permission. These classes stuck to the gameplan for 5 or 10 mins tops, then deteriorated into war stories from prison or the past lives of the other "students" in the class. While other participants were given cart blanche to show up late, leave early, smell like a weed farm when they came in,and given a pat on the butt, i was drug tested twice a week, and penalized for misses even if i had hospital paperwork. After 2 months of this, I finally popped a dirty urine and was sent back. First time. I'm not a sex offender, arsonist, or any other type of weirdo crime. Just a fucked up attempted robbery i fled from, where no one was hurt. Did I mention that I'm a White Man, and in these stories, the only one 95 percent of the time? Now you tell me, where was my "White Privilege Card" when I was the one at the bottom fighting to get back up? Where the fuck was my "Rich Whitey rescue Team" that came to scoop me outta this situation? Yeah,Please enlighten me, I'd love to hear this rationalized in your articulate perspective, Mr. Wise. Meanwhile I'm going to get a snack, cause I like snacks.
@@zerodeman come take me out then, killer! I'm now in Pasco county Florida, and I'll meet ya anywhere ya like here. Bring a weapon, and make it quick. Cause i got shit to do.
Explosion of greatness! more people should see this video! I agree but I wouldn't call it white privilege more so white advantage and this guy is spelling it out perfectly. This is what we need more people calling it like it is with the facts to back it up and not just misguided emotions.
Not that I disagree with the majority of what was said here, but I was literally told by a boss in farming that I was not getting a raise from minimum wage because he had no reason to, considering the undocumented workers could do my job happily for less than minimum wage, so I could get a different job if I wasn't ok with the pay. I was leading a crew of people driving them a aircraft loader truck, mixing chemicals, and loading crop dusters, so yeah, it was worth more than minimum wage
Hmm, this was actually, very interesting. I can see that a lot of people are taking away from this that Tim Wise is actually trying to drive a wedge, but if you get through the entire video, he is saying that the concept of white, not just white privilege, is driving a wedge between the two segregated communities. I've wondered about this myself. Why people in america identify, typically by their color and not their race. Seems odd to me as I come from an Irish family and we definitely identify as Irish first, and white second. Being I am irish and italian, I do the same. There's a Bob Dylan song that talks about this about Medger Evers: A South politician preaches to the poor white man "You got more than the blacks, don't complain You're better than them, you been born with white skin, " they explain And the Negro's name Is used, it is plain For the politician's gain As he rises to fame And the poor white remains On the caboose of the train But it ain't him to blame He's only a pawn in their game I don't necessarily know if everything Tim Wise said was true about time lines and motivations and the mention of Elites kind of gives away his motives, but there is some interesting ideas here if you are open minded enough to at least hear them. (doesn't mean you have to prescribe to them)
Racism already exists, the media does not have to promote it. Non whites experience it everyday. There is nothing to promote. It is alive and well. Whites are oblivious to racism because it does not affect them personally. They seldom or never watch black movies, and documentaries and autobiographies. It is not entertaining for them.
7:05 Tim talked about how 70% of the white people voted for David Duke and then he goes on a tangent denigrating them(I'm gonna add that this guy talked as if he rally knows why people voted for duke, in his mind it is just plain old racism... that doesn't make it true just because Tim thinks that).. what you should take from this is that the more immigrants we get the less voting power we have... 70% of those Europeans didn't get the representation they wanted... at some point it won't matter if 100% of the Europeans want something, their vote doesn't count anymore... That's why in my country we have reverse racism.. that is to say Racism against Europeans... in fact even when we become a clear minority our laws will still treat us as if we are aren't a minority...
This keeps people from the helpless poor socio economic class divided. There is a great rift between the haves and have not. He helps keep people divided.
he's right that there was no such thing as being white when there were homogeneous European society's. however now that people of European descent are now on the verge of being a diaspora community in their ancestral homelands, people of European descent will now identify as white and coalesce politically and spiritually. Pan European-ism is people like Tim Wise's worst nightmare. Talk about the Ottomans enslaving most of Europe, but no, always anti white clap trap and hate speech from guys/gals like this. BUILD A WALL #Trump2016
We falsely believe that "white people" owned slaves. The truth is, a tiny percentage of MOSTLY white people owned slaves. About one percent of the country. Saying that white people owned slaves in the 1800s is like saying that black people owned Ferraris in the 1900s. (A tiny percentage did, but most did not). The other white people started the underground rail road (I know you think it was Tubman that did that, she only had a small role), they fought for slave rights, they became abolitionists, made laws against the slave trade, fought those who tried to continue the slave trade (see "African slave trade patrol"), and hundreds of thousands died during the civil war to free the slaves. Even the Confederate soldiers were not slave owners for the most part. They were too poor to own shoes or horses, much less people. Most of the men fighting on the side of the south were non slave owning poor citizens who were conscripted to fight by their political leaders, the Democrats. Many more white people fought for human rights than took them. Stop believing false narratives.
Wow, Tim Wise is so honest!!! I wish he could infuse honesty in history, social studies and political science classes across America, we could eliminate bigotry in one generation!
When you don't like the message, attack the messenger. 😊 White Privilege is still alive and well and the rules and laws created by White men, continue to promote it.

@Bane7212 I really think the majority of individuals right and left are racist or have in-group bias. White liberals seem to have a strong out-group bias. Those biases are racist in nature. Your value or worth as an individual is defined by your race depending on the bias the individual has. Most often giving those with whom look like them preference or some loyalty to. All Tim Wise is doing here is saying white individuals are worthy of guilt and shaming for it. Which is itself a form of racism. No different than WWII bad guys demonizing and dehumanizing certain groups. We self-segregate and we tend to feel more comfortable around our own group. All human beings tend to be like this regardless of race or ethnicity. Racism will never solve racism. Only encourage tribalism, feed resentment between different groups and finally create the main byproduct of dehumanization. Which is...

What is being said is FACTS, simple measurement of proof. The poorest states in this country are Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas, yet they are the most racist states in the nation. It was those states that had the greatest attention given to it doing the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. You think that was by accident, no it was by design and manipulation. This method of divide and conquer works very well in those state. Their Educational systems are the worse in the nation, now the Elites of this country are trying desperately to attack education on a national level, because a mass group of ignorant people are EASILY manipulated and controlled. Why is it getting HARDER AND HARDER to pay for a college education ?
It's always about one thing and one thing only. M O N E Y.

This isn't "hate speech" and you can't censor the comment, just to hide the truth. It goes against UA-cam guidelines.
@@scottwilson5840 All they stated was the truth. They've been blaming White people for Centuries for Slavery. When they owned every slave ship, ran all the auctions which closed on their holidays and African Americans possess THEIR Surnames. If White people supposedly enslaved them, why do they ALL possess THEIR Surnames? I guess the truth makes you angry.
That fact that he uses facts and history and these comments are trolling like what he saying is just his own beliefs system. Truly sad. Stand for truth sometimes people
They love being brainwashed.
Mr. Wise please explain this to Candace Owens.
I think Candace Owens would explain that Wise isn't White.
I think Owens would explain that's he's Jewish.
My girl!!!
How am i just now hearing about Tim
Because they are trying to shut him down.
He is telling the truth.
As a low wage worker in my younger years I witnessed entire families being held in private homes within the wealthy community of Villanova Pa. The south American workers lived on the compounds some explained that they had been there for several years and that they never left the property because they all were illegal citizens. One woman explained that she and her family were picked at the board by men in trucks which the different families paid a large fee to be transported to either private estates, large farms or companies with undocumented workers. I would have not believed had I not listened to this woman's story . At the time I worked for a large catering company and we did a lot of high end functions. We or I would meet the people who worked on the property and they were always from some place south of America. This was back in the mid 90s. Therefore let's not forget how immigrants are being transported around the states by organized American smugglers. Please think about farm workers, chicken processing plants, car washes, domestic workers, etc. We forget that there is a whole engine of others profiting off of immigrants here illegally ❤ God bless
I'd like to be judged by the content of my character and not by the color of my skin

Next up: Tim Wise goes to Palestine to talk about Jewish privilege.. then he takes a quick flight to any country in north AFRICA to talk about ARAB MUSLIM privilege (notice I didn't say "Black/African" privilege in AFRICA) lol.. then its off to China to talk about Chinese/Han privilege and we will finish off with Sunni privilege in Iran (them Shia's got it rough)....
Stay tuned we can all learn alot from this man!!!! XD
Not that many white people are aware of it, however I'm sure the sunni's are.
Lol wrecked, maga time!
He goes around The World explaining divide and conquer.. Simple really!!
Duke Dune yeah, I didn't see the part where he threatened white kids either.
I do however see that the type of factual history lessons Wise presents threatens everyone who believes the narrative of meritocracy.
Every speaker Ive ever heard who tells the TRUTH about the history of blacks, or Indians, or any people of color are HATED by those who rely on fear and ignorance to PERPETUATE their own beliefs and standing in America.
They try to find something about the speaker that they feel is a flaw, so that he can be discounted. They say, "oh he's a damn jew, so what he say is mesningless". You can replace jew with virtually any religion other than christianity or any race other than white.
Its funny... and TRAGIC: they discount and degrade anyone who knows the history that points at the issues this country overlooks, and tells people of color, who developed under a system of oppression (since the birth of our nation) to forget the historical seeds planted that created the inequities, were all equal now, so know you're PLACE....
Similar to what women live under. Some have even fed in and decades later, they truly believe systematic racism isn't real...
Fear and ignorance keeps them locked in a belief system that defends our NATIONAL MISEDUCATION.....Home of the brave, huh? Yeah....
@Ruthlessnoodle He's against Oligarchy Rule and the hate(white supremacy) it requires to galvanize the vote to politicians that hand the country over to the super rich for tax cuts, regulatory roll backs and race based capitalism (genocide of the native to steal their land, slavery, Jim crow, bank redlining, mass incarceration, revenue policing, voter suppression, gerrymandering and other unethical practices) Minorities maybe the primary targets but whites are collateral damage to these practices as well...Lets unite!
It’s a shame that the people that need to hear this the most, wont, simply because they’re so triggered by the words “white privilege”. His entire message is a benefit to both the black and white working class. Seriously, he’s not blaming you for being part of the “privileged”. He’s saying that your inclusion in that group is basically pittance for what you could actually be earning if you’d only recognize that you have far more in common with working blacks than elite whites.
The attacks on him however are predictably par for the course; angry poor individualistic whites who think they’re only a few steps away from being the next Trump. Enjoy that privilege because without a labor revolution, it’s the only real wealth you’re ever going to obtain. Peace.

Yes. Whites are privileged and that's a good thing.
You look like a jew, so stop going around telling people white privilege is a bad thing.
Jews are more privileged than whites.
Folks mad because finally a man that's not black actually GETS IT and knows what's going on. We ain't stupid. (as your ignorant minds may think)
You oughta see all the Hispanic privilege going on in Mexico. The Native privilege on reservations is strong and dominant. The black privilege happening in the Congo in Africa is extreme. Asian privilege in Japan is at an all time high.
+Pen & Paper Where are the examples of this Hispanic privilege, this Asian privilege, or even this black privilege in Africa. Have you been to these places? Have you studied them, pulled examples, statistics? Have you any proof what so ever other than your word (which I guess we are suppose to believe for some reason)? Doubtful, and do you want to know why? Because I've been to Mexico, I've been to Africa and I know for a fact that neither of those things exist.
In Africa there are white people, though granted they are very few in numbers. As a minority in a foreign country I guess these people should be living poorly on the streets do to "Black Privilege", am I right? Well, too bad cause that's not so. The white people there are the same as any other person. Whites are not persecuted, or considered criminals or illegal immigrants based on their skin tone. Based on your knowledge this fact shouldn't be true, well news flash! This "Black Privilege" you speak of doesn't exist.
The same goes for Mexico. In my short time there I saw no persecution of the white race, and I went there with 20 white classmates.
Based on how the true results panned out for these bullshit allegations you through out of that thing you call brain, I think it wouldn't be a stretch to say white people are persecuted in Japan by the Japanese.
But some how, here in America we have white people like you defending the fact of discrimination and white privilege (which I find worse than not acknowledging its existence).

As a homeless white male, who hasn't been able to find so much as a dishwashing job since graduating from a big 10 university a year and a half ago, having attended classes while living in my car for most of the time I was there, who gets looked at as if I'm a bodybuilder asking an old woman to help me lift something if I say anything about how difficult it's been to stay above water without any support from friends or family, I can testify to the power of my white privilege. It's like a cloak of power that allows people to view whatever my circumstances are, no matter how hard I've tried to change them, as a result of my own laziness and nothing else. As someone who has been to social workers and outreach programs and shelters and found that none of them are remotely intended to help me, the last five years of my life have been a gorgeous thrill-ride through my male privilege and white privilege. The homeless guys on the street too, I know for a fact they're enjoying the shit out of their male privilege. I say "homeless guys" because they are literally all fucking men.

Doctor Who Fan+ thats what they claim when the generalize it.
IMHO one thing I noticed is we have a tendency to take a general conversation and make it about ourselves. I am sorry for your experiences and I can relate, a little. I too spent about 2 years homeless with a child and 9 years moving place to place until I could finally build a foundation. If you listen to the video, the history he outlines is interesting and it is not about individual circumstances because we can all fall victim to it. It is about the elite using these illusions to continue to gain for themselves. Donald Trump talks about closing the border and making the poor immigrants the villain. While he chants it and his base, predominantly white and male support him. He is supporting policies that benefit him and other wealthy people. He applied for H1-B visas to have foreigners work at Maralago. He supported a tax plan giving the lion's share of the benefits to corporations and the wealthy claiming it would trickle down and all we have witnessed is more companies leaving, people losing their jobs etc. They don't care because they can find poor people to do the work based on the conditions they offer. So this is not about your unique challenges although I understand it is sad, deplorable, frightening and beyond challenging. It is about a small percentage people using the ancient game of divide and conquer that contributes to keeping you in the circumstances you are in because they don't care about you or anyone else. They simply use you / us to main divide and conquer.
If you are having problems, imagine how hard Black people have it. Stop your bitchin and try harder.
And yet you have a cellphone or personal computer to watch this. Really? Please. Let's play this out for fun. Since you as a white person being unemployed the system therefore cant be against Black people because of your personal position. Exhibut A of White privilege thinking at its greatest. Pathetic.
No matter what. He’s telling the truth. Hes a Jew and will still maintain his privilege. No harm will come to him unlike like Malcolm, Martin etc. 😂. Y’all can say what ya want. He ain’t fucking lying 💯🤷🏾♀️
Jews aren't white
If you really look at this with an open mind you would realize he isn't bashing white people. He is explaining reasons why this racial divide came to be... Really listen to it....
I just listened to him give a speech live tonight at my school and he made a really amazing comment that: if you fit in what society considers the “norm” group you have the ability of ignoring the issues of what society considers the “non-normative” groups around you because you don’t have to deal with the everyday issues they do. So for example if someone has a disability, it’s obvious there are things in the world that could be changed to better help people with disabilities and as a person without disabilities you have the ability to ignore these problems and go about your life because you don’t have to live with the difficulty of having a disability. You don’t have to think about “wow how can we make easier access for people with disabilities” or “wow how could we help people with disabilities get resources they need”, that may not necessarily be beneficial to you, but more than not someone with a disability will think about those things because they are real issues they have to live with everyday. Same with being colored, or having different sexual identities, if you aren’t in those groups and if you don’t have to live with it yourself, you have the ability to ignore it. And THAT is what the problem is.
I like your way of thinking! ^_^
Kiara W Indians make the most money on average in the U.S..
Whites did well in South Africa.
So it can be fine.
this would be meaningful if the american media didn't constantly harp on minority rights, politicians didn't harp on minority rights, and the academic system didn't constantly harp on minority rights. To make those ideas any more pervasive you'd have to start implanting brain chips (which I think will actually happen).
EXACTLY. No one really cares about BW and the femicide, matricide, and medical treatment inequalities because they aren't a Black woman. Therefore, they 'believe' they are not affected. This is done not realizing that it's Black WOMEN that are the TRUE backbone of the Black Community. Not the men, because we have never been able to rely on the MEN for anything (e.g. no resources, no ownership, no economic presence).

White privilege does not mean that you are rich. White privilege doesn’t mean you have a “good life” it has nothing to do with that.
White people! White privilege DOES NOT equal White guilt! It equals a broader consciousness.

I don't think people understand or WANT to understand. But this guy makes sense!!! And as for him being a (racist?) Uhhh he's Jewish and he seems to say what things are ( not saying that he is or isn't a racist or being Jewish is stating he can't be ... ). No one wants to hear the truth, sometimes it's brutal. If anything he seems to state ( facts ) !!!

@Anthony Joseph You know what, in another generation or two you might just evolve an oppossable thumb and jettison your prehensile tail. A second had, third rate rant sourced directly out of Henry Ford's colon....
And guess what, when Ford's DEARBORN INDEPENDENT continued to print hogwash like you are spouting; Czarist BS about the PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION; and inflammatory, libelous screeds, he was sued, made to back up his bullshit in a court of law, compelled to issue a formal apology, fold his newspaper, and pay a substantial cash settlement, which the litigant in question gave in its entirety to CHARITY.
Bon appetite Reinhard Heydrich, to you and your Geek Chorus of Gutless Grifters, high fiving each other while cowering behind the digital wall of a chat room, exchanging ANTIFA conspiracy theories, listening to Alex Jones--as talking this brand of dungfuck smack to any carbon based life form in the real world (Jewish or otherwise), would garner a punch in the nose. May you, like Heydrich, and other cowards and bullies, meet a similar fate.
@Anthony Joseph Thanks for a quai-civil response, however Good Golly Miss Molly, was that ever...weak. Shlomo? Hahaha...MEDIC. Might even be teeny bit hurtful if it were not so third hand and second rate. Apparently folks like you are way too WOKE to let us sinister muthas put one over on you. To paraphrase Bobby The Brain Heenan, what frightens me the most about smug, pseudo-intellectual poseurs like yourself, is that you can breed and you can vote.
As for further engagement, well, it's been edifying, but, if I might reference Alabama head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, when asked to comment on one of your spiritual fore-bearers, George Wallace, he consuled "It's best not to wrestle with a pig...the pig enjoys itself, and you get dirty. Shalom, my little putz.

Character assassination is irrelevant when the truth is being told fella.
Yea...ppl gonna deny what he says in totality because they want to deny that there is a system of privilege garnered to a specific race. I came from the middle class, and I'm nit afforded the same opportunities as a white person with the exact same qualifications as I. And that isn't saying that it's regular white people fault, because a lot of whites feel attacked because they truly have nothing to do with the perpetration of this system. But it truly does exist, and denial, instead of analyzing it yourself, only leads to more tension between humans.
in these comments I see people don't really get what whitewashing , and whiteness is ?, its more then skin colour maybe have a watch with an open mind and less ignorance , it'll make your day a lot better :)
I'm just hear to listen to a man able to tell history with a profound taste for justice, judgment, and equity with tried accuracy without shame, with honor for knowing the difference.

Recently I was debating a right wing conservative nutjob on this subject and he caught me off guard by saying: "Well if non-whites just stayed away from white people, wouldn't that end all white privilege?" I told him that it has already been established that people of color cannot be equal unless we force white society to let them come and live with them. He then said: "So non-whites can't be equal unless they get to live around whites...yet when they do you complain about white privilege?" I said: "Exactly!" He then laughed at me and as I couldn't think of any catchy hashtag slogans at the time to respond with, my liberal instincts kicked in and I called him a racist Nazi bastard and said I refused to continue the conversation with such a hateful bigot, walked away, and posted his name and personal info on the internet in hopes that some poor oppressed person of color would deal with him. But I've been carefully watching Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and The Young Turks trying to find a counter argument that I could repeat like it was my own idea if that situation ever came up again...but to no avail.
Shlomo Shut-it-downstein UA-cam monitor\moderator You were a good debate partner until you started insulting that guy. You are just as worse as him for just insulting him, which won't make him even want to listen to you again.

+VOREVOX gtfoh u ugly racist ass bitch.
The thing I hate is that as a white guy born in the 1980's, I personally had nothing to do with slavery or even the civil rights movement, yet I still receive scorn or at the least, mistrust from other people who were affected (or again at the least, their parents/grandparents were).
Why must I (or anyone else from my generation) have to contend with the negativity that is rightly deserved for the people of the past who committed these attrocities?
Because there’s still people who hate us because of the color of our skin and our background. Most white people still reap the benefits of colored peoples work and suffering. You probably will never truly know what it’s like to be a person of color in America. Always having to work twice as hard to get a slice of the pie. And that is why POC have resentment towards white people especially to those who are ignorant to our issues because why care if it doesn’t affect you right?
So what
A black person would like your white privileges that you take for granted.
It is not your fault, then why is it still happening?
Why not speak up, help do something when you see it happening?
Why turn a blind eye to discrimination?
Why are blacks treated like they are not humans?
Why are whites being brainwashed to be afraid of blacks?
What you need to understand is that you are presently benefiting from the decisions of your ancestors - your white skin. They cuddle you with jobs, housing, deceive you into believing you’re better & voting for them, and etc. When they get in office (Republicans), they lower their taxes and constantly make cuts to what affects us. Trump lowered their taxes to 11% last time in office while we still pay 37% of our income. Biden increased their taxes a little. They have the middle and lower classes fighting over things that really don’t matter that they really don’t care about while they are controlling the strings. It’s more of us than them. Since the rich know how to manipulate, change is difficult because people loved being cuddled even though they don’t know they”re being cuddled. As Steve Biko said, the greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the minds of the oppressed.

A video criticizing white supremecists for blaming black people for all their problems, and now suddenly the comments section is full of white supremecists blaming on their problems on Jews. I wish I was surprised by this.
Now they're coming out of the woodwork to prove me right. Fascinating.
Yeah fuck these "white supremacists" for piecing two and two together.

White Slaves, African Masters
Reviews have praised White Slaves, African Masters: An Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives, a book that has revealed the slavery of North American colonists by Barbary privateers.
"Some of the most popular stories in nineteenth-century America were sensational tales of whites captured and enslaved in North Africa. White Slaves, African Masters for the first time gathers together a selection of these Barbary captivity narratives, which significantly influenced early American attitudes toward race, slavery, and nationalism.
Though Barbary privateers began to seize North American colonists as early as 1625, Barbary captivity narratives did not begin to flourish until after the American Revolution. During these years, stories of Barbary captivity forced the U.S. government to pay humiliating tributes to African rulers, stimulated the drive to create the U.S. Navy, and brought on America's first post-revolutionary war. These tales also were used both to justify and to vilify slavery."
Yup, surprise surprise! The history books fucked up! "Oh we forgot! White people weren't the only slave masters! Hurr durr! I guess some good comes with some bad!"
*****
Maybe now, but when i was in school they rarely ever touch upon slavery in other countries.
"But I would wager every cent I have that no one can point out a country not founded on genocide and slavery. It's just a matter of how far back you look." - This is the truth and is verifiable to anyone who cares to research it, of course they won't because the truth doesn't matter to these demons, all that matters is spreading their hatred. They act like Puritans and they're to hypocritical to see it,
Visser .Three
I agree with Visser. Thee. Everyone has a dark history. My people have almost no recorded history dating back before the 18th century. We were slaughtered, raped, and our leaders were silenced.
Hmong people migrated south to Laos and became highlanders only to be ruled over by the French people. (this is why a chunk Hmong people have hazel eyes and blonde hair).
in 1965 a war broke out between America and North Vietnam over communism and the Americans got us involved.
When the Americans lost the war, Hmong people were targeted for genocide. Women and female children were raped and killed, and men and male children were tortured and fed to the pigs.
We're just like the Jewish people in history. What's also kind of a coincidence is that our culture now is very influenced by the Jewish people. I know right? crazy.
Why is he talking like a black preacher?
+Aspiring Pyramidbuilder he grew up with blacks
+Aspiring Pyramidbuilder He grew up with black people, predominately his class mates and friends, also his wife is black. It's not unimaginable that some black culture and mannerisms have rubbed off on him.

FortuitusVideo Honestly.. do you really know (know is a key word) what you're talking about here.
Listen closer. It's not that he speaking like "a black preacher", its poetic. Its being presented as if his speech is poetry. That tells me he is very passionate about what he has to say and what he has been awakend to.
Im black and he is making alot of sense
Skin color is pretty low among the privilege bearing assets. There is also high IQ privilege. Physical attractiveness privilege. Education privilege. They are all just variables that will confer certain benefits in certain contexts.

This comment does not have enough up votes.
I agree, Tim's honesty does make hateful hearts very uncomfortable.
Priceless comment, John! Thank you!
Reading a lot of these comments in this thread has left me feeling genuinely sad... I'm truly baffled and deeply discouraged by much of what I've read here. So much baseless, blind hatred. It's palpable, and makes me feel a strong sense of trepidation. Like I've unwittingly stumbled into some deep, dark part of the Internet which exposes harsh truths that I don't wish to accept. To paraphrase from Doug Stanhope: "Nationalism (I'm further extrapolating this to include racism for the sake of this particular illustration) does nothing but make you hate a bunch of people you've never met, and take pride in achievements which you had no part in... It's dead people's baggage... STOP CARRYING IT." My hope for the future of THE HUMAN RACE has been rattled. Divide and conquer, indeed. Will we ever collectively wake up, remove the blinders and realize the single most evident truth: that we are all connected? We're all in this together. As one species, in case that is still unclear to anyone.
Guys like you are the reason we are in this shit. Are you on MDMA?
Everything you said sounds good but putting the blinders on is part of the reason your last statement will never come true
Thank you! A lot of these comments brought me to the conclusion that many don't Comprehend well. #2019
I understand what you are saying but young whites don't take criticism to white supremacy politics personal. Using fear and hate to divide and conquer the masses is as old as America itself. Young whites are idealistic, like people of color. All they see is a desire to put right over wrong. They like to see people put over corporate greed and want to push for freedom, equality and justice for all people. It will be young whites collaborating with people of color that will eventually take dark money out of politics so we can have a country that is of by and for the people. Politicians will have to win on ideas, not demonizing minorities to galvanize the white vote, only to hand the country over to Oligarchy rule. I have faith America will eventually win, just like we have in the past!
The Ruling Class for Centuries have always told poor and working class whites to hate people of color. If we rejected the divide and conquer narrative of the Ruling Class(racial animus), we could unify and take back control of the political, economic and moral direction of the country. Only then, we could finally have a country that is of the people, by the people and for the people.
Why doesnt Wise talk about Jewish privilege, hes a Jew, gets $4000 per speech, lives in an allwhite neighborhood $600,000 house. Sounds privileged to me!
211Jetsfan I mean, I don’t think that has anything to do with being Jewish. I’m Jewish, and broke as hell. I know its an old comment, and you probably don’t even remember writing it. Yea, he’s economically successful, but at least he’s not tearing people down. He’s explaining why racism happened, and why its still happening today. You don’t have to be broke, flat on your ass, to see the wrong in something. You don’t have to be in struggle, to understand how the world is a little shitty. Anyone can learn though, and listen first before making judgments.
@@ariellashahal1468 You're clearly missing the point. You must not being very good at reading. His point was not that he's rich because he's Jewish. His point is that Tim Wise is willing to acknowledge "white privilige", but he refuses to acknowledge Jewish privilige (he's also pro-Israeli).
@@ariellashahal1468 in other words, if you're willing to acknowledge white privilige, then you should be willing to acknowledge Jewish privilige.
Enny Okay, I feel like the insulting on my reading skills was unnecessary, but I can try to hear you out. I suppose he could have Jewish privilege, and that people can complain about that. However as we acknowledge white privilege, we also have to acknowledge that white privileged people and cultures have historically always had the upper hand. I’m sorry if my comment came off as ignorant-my point before was not to shut down the Jewish privilege. And at this point I’m not going to argue further. I’m glad you’re educated, and hope all is well with you.
The bottom line is, what he is saying is the truth.
Right now he is speaking about White Privilege.
Open your mind and understand and see it in your daily life.
Now paint yourself dark for a week and see the difference.
You cannot ignore it.
Jump into a black man's shoes and visit a store, drive your expensive car around the block.

Would you get the job? Probably not.
Would you get the same salary, definitely not.
That's a black man's reality.
That's my reality.
@stewrobb2329 is the most logical voice of these comments . The negative reactions to this video personifies that unfortunately there is still a sizeable segment of society that resists looking in the mirror, and continues to avoid real dialogue; because it exists inside of them, and they abhor being exposed . A bully rarely owns up to the fact they got away with bullying if they got comfortable doing it .
Those critics of Tim are the same who praise the likes of Larry Elder because he spews the things they want to hear.
Do you believe Tim when he tells you that a larger and cheaper labor force, through open borders, does not impact people's wages? I do compensation analysis for a living. Anyone who tells you that flooding the labor market is not bad for wages, is either lying or is astounding foolish.
The only people who want a more competitive labor market, and thus open borders, are the 1% who benefit from cheaper labor.
these comments tho. really lets me he's talking nothing but truth. whiteness is a hell of a drug.
Cizfinestbaby92 and that's some scary shit. because we've seen time and time again exactly who suffers from that particular brand of brainwashing and reality denial.
The whites are making excuses for their addiction 😊
5:23 Wise tries to discredit that illegal immigration undermines wages. This is wrong. Illegal immigration does do so. Even Cesar Chavez himself opposed illegal immigration and supported the Wall. Certain studies have found that Mexican-Americans who have been in the USA for a prolonged period of time oppose illegal immigration the same way White Working Class do. Sure there are other reasons why workers may not be making money, but to ignore illegal immigration is a bad idea. In fact, Blacks are horribly affected by illegal immigration, probably more than Whites. Also, Obama deported more illegals than many other Presidents.
It may be true that there were certain racial undertones which were there in the whole wall thing, but is it stopping any one from succeeding? No. Racism is not the cause of why Latinos and Blacks are lagging.
Are you black or Latino?
You know full well he is speaking facts. Preach on Tim, keep calling them out on their BS..
once again, Tim speaks The Truth! Hard to bear, isn't it? Or perhaps it's too complex...especially for trump supporters...much easier to hate black and brown folks....

"Talk of world peace is heard today only among the White peoples, and not among the much more numerous colored races. This is a perilous state of affairs. When individual thinkers and idealists talk of peace, as they have done since time immemorial, the effect is always negligible. But when whole peoples become pacifistic it is a symptom of senility. Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic. To adopt such a position is to abandon the future, for the pacifist ideal is a static, terminal condition that is contrary to the basic facts of existence."

Africans have invaded Europe several times sine the fall of Rome and the white man kicked their asses. Muslims have never stopped murdering European - have you ever bothered to look up the Armenian genocide? How about muslims crucifying Christian women in Armenia in 1915? Look up the pictures sometime.

Reality is hard to swallow for most people. Thank you Tim for helping us to remember.
The reality is racism exists in all groups and more racism, like you see here with the ideological doctrine espoused by Tim Wise, will only encourage and increase that. It will never help solve or be a solution to the problem racism and racial bias creates. I get it feeds and confirms your own prejudices and biases. Doesn't make it anything more than absolute racist drivel though. Remember that.
I love how he speaks with passion!! Amen!!
I'll admit that I haven't fully checked out Tim's views but judging from this he comes off like he's viewing U.S racial history through a socialist lens.
It was not until I got out of that situation I started trusting the system and taking advantage of stuff I had to offer. I changed my ideas and changed my habits to become someone who could work. Someone who didn't stay out until 5 am doing sketchy shit with sketchy people. I made a change. It worked out. My friends (of all colors) are now dead, in jail, or homeless. This is no longer about color. This is about poverty. Because poverty does not discriminate.
Stop building walls again to divide people. Start attacking the issue of poverty and I guarantee you these problems will be solved.
Tim Wise says nothing but the truth. Nothing but facts.
Divide and conquer. The whiteness
This man is 100% percent absolutely right and on point. If anyone with a logical mind think about the white mans world and how it is run today this is common sense.
Its deceptive. Wise is a marxist agitator, financed by the very billionaire 'elites' who slaughtered 100 million Christians under communism.
Still talking about the plantation. Why?? Because the Democrat party plantation is operating more successfully than ev--errrrr.
I am white and from Canada, and I agree that White Privilege exists and I wish that it did not exist. I have two young children, and I am trying my best to make sure that they grow up understanding that there are no lines between the races. That we are all human, and no one should be treated differently based on there skin colour.
I want my children to grow up in a world where there is not word "race", and instead we are all just "people" regardless of our skin colour or culture. I want my children to embrace the diversity of different cultures, and fight against racial injustice in this world.
You stop trying so hard with your shamrock guilding ass!
***** Why are you so defensive? Why does recognizing white privilege exist mean that you have to feel guilty for being white? That's like feeling guilty for being born with money, It's not you're fault that you were born with more than someone else. Also he never said anything about teaching his kids to feel guilty, he said that he would raise them to treat all people equally. Is that to much to ask for, that kids treat everyone like people? Maybe that's the thing you're really defensive about, maybe you prefer blacks as slaves.
Privilege is any advantage given to a particular group. Any racist in power can give this out. Getting hired rather than that black guy because your people aren't lazy is white privilege, not getting confronted by cops who got a call on you because black people steal is white privilege, Having your life viewed as more important because white's are leaders, is white privilege, going to school and not having others constantly remind you of your blackness, is white privilege. Acknowledging this or rather racism altogether is a step in helping stop it. If people would call out injustice when they see it instead of going along with it, we could make improvements. Imagine being judged for every stupid thing white people have ever done and that people have a preconceived notion of you based on that. Oh that white guy cant go to this school cause you know they like to shoot up places. Keep an eye on that white dude, they don't like paying taxes. It becomes tiresome having to prove yourself as not what everyone assumes you are. I don't expect for anyone to feel guilty for anything they haven't done, but if you see your brother getting mistreated, don't turn your head, stand with him. I've been with a black guy saying things about white people as a whole and that didn't sit right with me, and I let him know that.
Theodore Bartholomew Montgomery well said point made
Theodore Bartholomew Montgomery "privilege - a *special right*, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people."
There are zero legal rights for whites that blacks don't also have (but blacks do have legal rights that whites don't #blackprivilege ).
"privilege - a special right, *advantage*, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people."
Every race has advantages in certain circumstances so there would also be a black privilege and every other race too, why not just save the trouble and just treat people on a case by case basis?
"privilege - a special right, advantage, or *immunity* granted or available only to a particular person or group of people."
What are white people immune to? Bullets? Fire?
Also could you please call out specifically what I said that was racist and explain why.
Blacks can run fast.
Asians are smart.
Jews hoard all the worlds gold.
Whites have privilege.
How can you not get how this is racist?
"Because I never said anything negative about white people and acknowledging the existence of racism doesn't make someone a racist."
I have no problem acknowledging racism after all that is why i'm talking to you.
Lastly, stop trying to move the goalpost by using white privilege interchangeably with racism in a retarded attempt to straw-man me. You and i both know that our disagreement is about the concept of white privilege not racism.
Why no discussion of Jewish privilege? How about we discuss Jewish tribalism and their bigotry against Gentiles?
That is another video.
Today's topic is white privilege.
Uncomfortable for you😢?
Hey Tim, When I was 33 i finished a 6 yr prison bid, (for trying to stick up a gas station with my finger and failing. Then being ID'd as I was the "Only one in the area") and moved into a studio apt. In Trenton. As i was starting from scratch, I followed the advice of some pamphlets that I was given before release date, and applied for social services/assistance. Getting the Food stamps was not a difficult process, other than swallowing my pride. But i also had applied for medicare, and i learned that there was an affordable auto insurance rate, a dollar a day, specifically set up for recipients of the benefits i received, to give them the opportunity to get a vehicle legal for the road, which i thought was pretty helpful, so i brought all my paperwork in to the state operated auto insurance place in downtown Trenton, and spoke with someone, waited in the lobby area, and spoke with some of the other people waiting for their appointments, and my spirits were raised, as they all told me that they were either already receiving their dollar a day insurance, and were either there to make a payment or discuss other matters that could be handled at that location. I was told to bring back copys of all my paperwork, following day i dud, and after 35 minutes talking with one of their employees and checking all the boxes, he went in the back, did some fax or something, came back, went on to his computer, looked up at me and said, yeahhh, sorry, but looks like you dont qualify. I kept my calm, explained that i had read up on this, and i was in the same programs as everyone else in the office that already were on this insurance. No matter what, I was not qualified, he assured me. I fell into a "category" Was the last phrase he said before i had heard enough and left before i lost my head. I was also on DOC program, had to go to meetings, check in, etc, if you been through NJ system and paroled , you know the drill, until you have a job that they approve of. While other excons in the program with me were given passes to go Metal scrapping with their uncle instead of coming to programs, I had bosses i had met that would literally call my Parole officer, speak on my behalf, and attempt to get them to give me permission to go to work. One boss went so far as to say he would personally call my PO everyday I was at work and give location's. No, this just wouldn't do, for whatever reason. I had to limit my work to what i could find at nights after programs, and continue to attend senseless classes during the day about, Interview skills, social skills, and job preparation skills,which were quite unnecessary, seeing as i had no problem getting work, just permission. These classes stuck to the gameplan for 5 or 10 mins tops, then deteriorated into war stories from prison or the past lives of the other "students" in the class. While other participants were given cart blanche to show up late, leave early, smell like a weed farm when they came in,and given a pat on the butt, i was drug tested twice a week, and penalized for misses even if i had hospital paperwork. After 2 months of this, I finally popped a dirty urine and was sent back. First time. I'm not a sex offender, arsonist, or any other type of weirdo crime. Just a fucked up attempted robbery i fled from, where no one was hurt. Did I mention that I'm a White Man, and in these stories, the only one 95 percent of the time? Now you tell me, where was my "White Privilege Card" when I was the one at the bottom fighting to get back up? Where the fuck was my "Rich Whitey rescue Team" that came to scoop me outta this situation? Yeah,Please enlighten me, I'd love to hear this rationalized in your articulate perspective, Mr. Wise. Meanwhile I'm going to get a snack, cause I like snacks.
Can't wait till you leave this earth
@@zerodeman come take me out then, killer! I'm now in Pasco county Florida, and I'll meet ya anywhere ya like here. Bring a weapon, and make it quick. Cause i got shit to do.
Your ignorant
love this
I love Tim so much! A black person cannot be more of an advocate!
What about Thomas Sowell?
Explosion of greatness! more people should see this video! I agree but I wouldn't call it white privilege more so white advantage and this guy is spelling it out perfectly. This is what we need more people calling it like it is with the facts to back it up and not just misguided emotions.
Not that I disagree with the majority of what was said here, but I was literally told by a boss in farming that I was not getting a raise from minimum wage because he had no reason to, considering the undocumented workers could do my job happily for less than minimum wage, so I could get a different job if I wasn't ok with the pay. I was leading a crew of people driving them a aircraft loader truck, mixing chemicals, and loading crop dusters, so yeah, it was worth more than minimum wage
Look elsewhere for a different business structure, only thing you can do.
“Hello fellow white people”
-this Jewish guy
NONE of the conservatives commenting will debate the FACTS in this video. Extremely telling.
Where is the Tim Wise: On Jewish Privilege in USA?
Hmm, this was actually, very interesting. I can see that a lot of people are taking away from this that Tim Wise is actually trying to drive a wedge, but if you get through the entire video, he is saying that the concept of white, not just white privilege, is driving a wedge between the two segregated communities.
I've wondered about this myself. Why people in america identify, typically by their color and not their race. Seems odd to me as I come from an Irish family and we definitely identify as Irish first, and white second. Being I am irish and italian, I do the same.
There's a Bob Dylan song that talks about this about Medger Evers:
A South politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin, " they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game
I don't necessarily know if everything Tim Wise said was true about time lines and motivations and the mention of Elites kind of gives away his motives, but there is some interesting ideas here if you are open minded enough to at least hear them. (doesn't mean you have to prescribe to them)

It's just hard for some black people to know what country their ancestors were from.
He sounds highly intelligent to me. None of the attacks against him have managed to put a dent in his arguments!
Your username suggests you aren't an impartial of his arguments.
it's not about race, it's about money! the media is promoting racism.
The media is promoting race mixing, homosexuality, and feminism. Get a grip
Racism already exists, the media does not have to promote it.
Non whites experience it everyday.
There is nothing to promote. It is alive and well.
Whites are oblivious to racism because it does not affect them personally.
They seldom or never watch black movies, and documentaries and autobiographies.
It is not entertaining for them.
Wow, that was amazing and inspiring. I'm going to show this to as many people as I possibly can.
This dude is commie scum. He makes a few good points, pretty paving stones on the path to hell.
7:05 Tim talked about how 70% of the white people voted for David Duke and then he goes on a tangent denigrating them(I'm gonna add that this guy talked as if he rally knows why people voted for duke, in his mind it is just plain old racism... that doesn't make it true just because Tim thinks that)..
what you should take from this is that the more immigrants we get the less voting power we have... 70% of those Europeans didn't get the representation they wanted... at some point it won't matter if 100% of the Europeans want something, their vote doesn't count anymore...
That's why in my country we have reverse racism.. that is to say Racism against Europeans... in fact even when we become a clear minority our laws will still treat us as if we are aren't a minority...
by "white" he means jewish right?
☝️
This keeps people from the helpless poor socio economic class divided. There is a great rift between the haves and have not. He helps keep people divided.
he's right that there was no such thing as being white when there were homogeneous European society's. however now that people of European descent are now on the verge of being a diaspora community in their ancestral homelands, people of European descent will now identify as white and coalesce politically and spiritually. Pan European-ism is people like Tim Wise's worst nightmare. Talk about the Ottomans enslaving most of Europe, but no, always anti white clap trap and hate speech from guys/gals like this.

We falsely believe that "white people" owned slaves. The truth is, a tiny percentage of MOSTLY white people owned slaves. About one percent of the country. Saying that white people owned slaves in the 1800s is like saying that black people owned Ferraris in the 1900s. (A tiny percentage did, but most did not). The other white people started the underground rail road (I know you think it was Tubman that did that, she only had a small role), they fought for slave rights, they became abolitionists, made laws against the slave trade, fought those who tried to continue the slave trade (see "African slave trade patrol"), and hundreds of thousands died during the civil war to free the slaves. Even the Confederate soldiers were not slave owners for the most part. They were too poor to own shoes or horses, much less people. Most of the men fighting on the side of the south were non slave owning poor citizens who were conscripted to fight by their political leaders, the Democrats. Many more white people fought for human rights than took them. Stop believing false narratives.
A jew tells black people how great white people are.
Wow, Tim Wise is so honest!!! I wish he could infuse honesty in history, social studies and political science classes across America, we could eliminate bigotry in one generation!
Christ, you're an idiot.
@@francisdrake6622 Projection or you simply have no desire to part of the solution to end bigotry in America.
Tim Wise is jewish. Why TF is he talking about white privilege? Shouldn't he be talking about jewish privilege? Plenty of that to go around.
because the small hats want us dead
@@MikeG82 you're already dying out , in 50 years whites will be under 10% in America , and probably wiped out in a few European countries
When you don't like the message, attack the messenger. 😊
White Privilege is still alive and well and the rules and laws created by White men, continue to promote it.
True diversity is when you never call out any race except whites.
Wise is one of the most racist people there is.
Ok how are u measuring "racist?
@@fawkewemf5616 The tribe he belongs to are the most racist and supremacist on the planet. They are also the most privileged.

i can listen to this and not hate white people, it’s education that’s all. It’s the truth. Take it and be better, everyone.
Amen.
The whites are trying to defend something that was part of history.
Wow! So deep yet so simple.
