Speech 3:

I want to hear what people think about the CONTENT of these speeches. Do not attempth to derail this thread. Do not sabotage this thread.

I'll start off:
I particularly found part 3 of speech 2 to be very relevant and truthful.

If you want to be specific, use this method: (speech/part ; min).

I have a feeling that admins are looking for any excuse to lock Tim Wise threads. Refer to (speech 1 ; 42-44min). Admins, please just accept the truth. If you don't like this guy (for whatever reason), don't participate in this thread.

Let the discussion of the CONTENT begin...
 
:confused: Please include links to transcripts and texts of the above videos. :erm:
 
Its about creating white guilt and pushing an agenda. And further dividing a nation racially cause white people are all privliged, we are all rich, we are all racist, we own everything, we all went to university etc etc etc. Make it stop please... :cry:
 
OP, why your hard-on for this ADD-suffering white apologist. Nobody is interested enough in US-centric drivel to waste how many megabytes watching some ass with an opinion.

Why not stop spamming myBB with inanity instead of wondering why your precious threads get locked?
 
For those of you who don't have access to youtube, here's wikipedia's article on white privilege:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege

"white privilege is a way of conceptualizing racial inequalities that focuses as much on the advantages that white people accrue from society as on the disadvantages that people of color experience"

I could not find transcripts of Tim's speeches.

@enigma:

eurocentricity not US-centricity. I thought that was obvious. Don't make silly comments like that.

If you think these speeches are insane, you must be insane.

@Jimmy:

This is not about guilt! Refer to speech 2 part 6.

If you feel guilty, why does the truth make you feel that way?

No personal attacks please. Let's not derail this thread.

He's not only spamming this forum with his diatribe, but others as well. David Morisson, accept that you do not want a discussion on this topic, but rather a soap box. I suggest you create a blog where no users can comment and you can enjoy being the sole user and thus the only person who's views are not skewed by imperialistic propaganda filled with white tendencies.

Nobody feels guilty. You presume we do. We want to engage in a discussion. You want to preach rhetoric. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object.

Guys, stop spewing hate...

I want to engage in a mature discussion. Let's talk about white privlege and the legacy of colonialism. If you don't want to talk about these topics, then don't.

Discuss the content of these speeches or discuss the content of wikipedia's (if you don't have access to youtube) article on white privilege.

If you feel that Tim Wise's speeches are full of :BS, waffle, diatribe, insanity, then explain why you think they are. Don't just say that they are, justify why you say they are.

From wiki:
Career

After graduating in 1990, Wise began his work as an anti-racist activist, ultimately receiving training in methods for undoing racism from the New Orleans-based People's Institute for Survival and Beyond. Wise began his anti-racism work as a youth coordinator, and then associate director, of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, the largest of the various organizations founded for the purpose of defeating political candidate, David Duke, when Duke ran for U.S. Senate and Governor of Louisiana in 1990 and 1991, respectively.[3]

After his work campaigning against David Duke, Wise worked for a number of community-based organizations and political groups in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, including the Louisiana Coalition for Tax Justice, the Louisiana Injured Worker's Union and Agenda for Children, where he worked as a policy analyst and community organizer in New Orleans public housing.

In 1995, Wise began lecturing around the country on the issues of racism and white privilege. The following year, he returned to his hometown Nashville, and he continued his work around the US, gaining a national reputation for his work in defense of affirmative action.[citation needed]

From 1999 to 2003, Wise served as an advisor to the Fisk University Race Relations Institute. Wise received the 2002 National Youth Advocacy Coalition's Social Justice Impact Award as well as the 2001 British Diversity Award, for best feature essay on race and diversity issues. He has appeared on numerous radio and television broadcasts, including The Montel Williams Show, Donahue, Paula Zahn NOW, MSNBC Live, and ABC's 20/20, arguing the case for affirmative action and to discuss the issue of white privilege and racism in America.[4]

Wise argues that racism in the United States is institutionalized, due to past overt racism and the ongoing effects of that past racism, along with current-day discrimination. Although he contends that personal, overt bias is less common than in the past (or at least less likely to be openly articulated), Wise argues that institutions have been set up to foster and perpetuate white privilege, and that subtle, impersonal, and even ostensibly race-neutral policies contribute to racism and racial inequality today.

Seems pretty fracking US-centric to me. Also, you'd do well to learn the difference between inane and insane. :rolleyes:

Many people have tried. You cannot fathom a discussion outside of the quoted videos. You require another persons argument to further your own topic. As soon as someone says something you cannot comprehend, you label it as "Hate" or "Racism". The onus is on you to do some thinking in regards to this discussion.
