  • How does race and racism affect in your life? Anti-racist activist and writer Tim Wise is the author of six books, most notably his highly acclaimed memoir: White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son. His latest book, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America is out this month. Also, New Orleans youth discuss how racism affects their lives. All that and a few words from Laura on security forces that stink.

    I love how Wise makes the point by saying being disadvantaged isn't that bad if a person can say "at least I'm not Black(I'm White)'.

    The solution to the problem of racism is really very simple.
    1. Follow the non agression principle.
    2. Practice freedom of association.

      How about
      1. fully acknowledging the foundations of this country (stolen land via genocide, centuries of human trafficking, and chattel slavery, continued broken treaties w/ Indigenous people, and a continued occupation of N. America by the USA and Canada, and the continuation of government officials killing innocent Black people etc...)
      2. Truth and Conciliation (look up truth and reconciling in S. Africa and Canada)
      3. Stop doing harm
      4. Some thoughtful form of reparations that would be designed to actually make a difference.
      I'm sure there is more, but that might take this country to ground zero and put it in a place where it could start to scratch the surface just a little.

      Bla bla bla. How about you stop judging the behavior of people hundreds of years ago by what ever you consider to be modern morality.
      What happened in the past is the past. Get over it.

    Tell me why don't you tell everybody what you do to make your money. It seems like teaching capitalism would be so much better than bashing it. If you really want to be like Tim Wise living in a mansion just listen to Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

      No matter how many mansions Tim wise lives in, every person with common sense (and data to back it up) knows the truth when they hear it.. So your comment is completely dismissed.
