White like me
White like me: reflections on race from a privileged son | Tim J. Wise
6 posts | 10 read | 21 to read
Racial privilege shapes the lives of white Americans in every facet of life, from employment and education to housing and criminal justice. Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise shows that racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits those who are "white like him" — whether or not they’re actively racist. Using stories instead of stale statistics, Wise weaves a compelling narrative that assesses the magnitude of racial privilege and is at once readable and scholarly, analytical yet accessible.

I'm a fan of anything Wise writes- so direct and inspiring. "There is something to be said for confronting the inevitable choice one must make in this life between collaborating with or resisting in justice... Indeed it is one of the most important choices we will ever be asked to make as humans"

Acting as if nothing is happening, or at least nothing of real importance, has to be worse. It is the silence of the collaborator, the person who is unwilling or unable to see that they are in and of history, and that history has called them forth to make a choice, not to passively observe
