Most of what I know about racism, I learned from people of color: folks in public housing in New Orleans, with whom I had the honor of working for fifteen months as a community organizer and advocate in the mid-90s; writers like James Baldwin, Angela Davis, and Elizabeth 'Betita' Martinez, among many others; and the amazing leadership of the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond.
Who I'd like to meet: Like-minded persons committed to social justice and anti-racist principles
You rock, Tim Wise! Always inspiring, you are a really great resource to share with friends who are interested in becoming more engaged in the discourse. Thank you.
I'm so happy - I probably should have known this sooner - but I just found out you're coming to my church next month, Hennepin Ave United Methodist....YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!
ROFL!!! HEHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! i LOVE that "hate mail will be graded" line LOL!!!!!! T H A N K YOU for expanding my consciousness in a way precious FEW other than Diop, VanSertima, Naim Ackbar, Joel Freeman can. and Y E S, the fact that it's coming from YOU gives it all an extra EDGE that makes it all that much MORE SPECIAL.
KEEP ON TELLING THE TRUTH!!!! IT'S SO REFRESHING!!!!!!!!!!! =D =HulkSmaash!
An added comment. I was looking through your blogs and I find it interesting that the haters don't have enough balls to show their displeasure in a public forum. I suppose we could add the word chickenshit to racist and ignorant as well. Keep up the great work of educating. ~E~
Thanks for the add! I just finished reading all your blogs. The fact that your a white male yourself seeing the reality of it all and is not afriad to speak of it openly shows what kind of a person you are. If only other people of all races follow your lead. White men and women of our country who cannot see {I mean choose to pretend they cannot see} the truth are the ones who are the root of the problem. Keep it up. You are making a difference by reaching out even if it feels like your not. Like Obama said,"One voice..."
