June 22, 2010 Tim Wise: on white privilege "In this spellbinding
lecture, Tim Wise ... offers a unique, inside-out view of race
and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness
that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a non-
confrontational explanation of white privilege and the damage it
does not only to people of color, but to white people as well.
This is an invaluable classroom resource: an ideal introduction
to the social construction of racial identities, and a critical
new tool for exploring the often invoked - but seldom explained
- concept of white privilege." Introduction (3:07) -- The
erasure of politics & culture (10:13) -- White denial (12:55) --
Unburdened by race (6:42) -- The creation of whiteness: how race
was used to hide class (9:23) -- Privilege & pathology (11:17)
-- Guilt & responsibility (3:30) This is a very comprehensive
lecture outlining the history of race identity in the USA. ~Mike
