- Colorado Black Women for Political Action hosted Tim Wise at the University of Denver on November 9, 2017. The capacity audience was presented with a straight-forward discussion on Race, Crime and the Politics of Fear in America.
Wise is among the most prominent anti-racist writers and educators in the United States. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states, on over 1000 college and high school campuses, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences, and to community groups across the country.
I just discovered this man and I could listen to him talk all day.
Totally. I've been listening to him for years and he doesn't get old. I feel like he does well with conveying these ideas in ways other white people will understand, hopefully inspiring us to go read Black authors and follow Black leadership.
Tim Wise you were named correctly. Kudos!
I can't stop crying. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I feel a little hope again
One of the BEST people I've ever witnessed, speaking on Social Injustice 💯
Mr.Wise,, you never get old with your point of view and the truth of the RICH&POWERFUL and the Privileged SIDE LINERS !! THANK YOU SIR!
HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, THAT WHY WE LOVE HIM AND HE MOST HATED BY THE RICH 100 PERCENT A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Wise has always been special since I first heard him speak. Someone else was special that said:
How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.
How long? Not long, you shall reap what you sow.
How long? Not long ...
How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
@Boris Notbadenov2 I can't Disagree With You More. What explains The Same Hate, The Same Bias of the 1600s here in 2018, The Same Racism.
It's interesting how a group of people can be racist, hateful since the 1600s and can say to there victims we've done unthinkable things to your people for years and years But now that there are Blacks who hate us for what we've done that makes your 13% of the population so much more racist then we ever were!!!
In case one hasn't noticed lying in today's society is done as easily as taking a breath. People continuing to pretend like racism is gone isn't living in reality But in fact this generation is continuing the race hate onto the next generation and I have no doubts the generation after that one.
thank you for posting this. My first time hearing Tim's message and I'm grateful for expanding my awareness, decreasing my white privilege blindness and increasing my anti-racist sensitivities
White men brutalized by copsmore and doesn't get reported and they getdiscriminated from job and college applications.
@ITSCRAZY NICE Indeed, my boy can not even form a complete sentence much less detail actual information.
You have only tap danced upon the tip of the iceberg with this presentation. You have no idea how yours is the typical response from those who swear they have "got it" after a drop of bitter medicine. Yet you are actually no where near "it". The historical context of 'Whiteness', which did not exist prior to 1861, is imperative for you to understand if you merely want to just scratch at the surface of this perverse insanity of 'White' supremacy. It is great that you have approached the door and cracked it. Yet deep emotional and Spiritual work will be required for you to open the door and step through upon the Path. Blessings and good luck to you going forward.
Thank you so much for this comment. You give me hope for our country. I also recommend watching Dr. Jacqueline Battalora's "Birth of a white nation" to see where they began the divide and conquer among us. ruclips.net/video/TM6ehzu3p4c/видео.html I also recommend Dr. Robin Deangelo's books and/or vids... She explains the disconnect many white ppl have with race matters. ruclips.net/video/45ey4jgoxeU/видео.html But thanks for at least being open minded. THANK YOU on behalf of many African Americans.
Thank you Tim Wise for your profoundly accurate insights!
Excellent piece; you're the man Tim, keep up the great work.
I refer back and forward this content over and over. Thank you so much !!
Tim Wise has A razor sharp perspective on the current racism inside the closest of society and the outermost hateful behavior of society and the abusers of power.
Educational, incisive, and entertaining. Great job, Tim!
Thanks Man. Your points of veiws are needed in these days & times. May you be equipt with longevity as you reach the hearts of many world wide. Continue your help towards making this world a better place.
Mr. Wise is about to drop FACTS...
Let's hope this man's lecture reaches the blind spot in white America's conscience.
74 people who disliked this are the ones he is describing and cant handle the heat!!!
AND I PRAY TO GOD HE IS PROTECTED AT ALL TIME HIM AND HIS FAMILY LORD KEEP THEM SAVE IN YOUR HANDS
By the mighty power of Jesus Christ!!! Aaamen!!🙏💥🌟💫🌟💫🌟
Kenneth Gilbert I agree and pray with you brother. Keep this man in your protection bosom.🙏🏾
Preach Dr. Wise Preach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I kept waiting for him to say he had a bottle of hot sauce in his pocket
If I could vote, if he ran for any kind of office, I'd vote for Mr. Wise. The consistency and passion he shows towards his chosen profession is amazing. Labeling himself an Anti-Racist I don't fully understand yet. But I will. This individual advocates for humanity and humanity being held accountable. Regardless of culture. Rare to hear the truth about this topic from this kind of man. Thanks to whoever uploaded this video 🖤🖤
He's dead spot on as always.
God where has this been hid?
Thank you! For this eye opening enlightening, educational, very informative video. I looked up the times he spoke about in this video all true and legitimate. 👍🏻 👍🏻 😯😯🤔🤔🤔
This Tim guy really did his homework. Good job Timothy.
To the whites below whining and complaining, thank you for your statements....you have cemented his points beautifully.🤣😂🤣😂
"our privilege of oblivion is killing us" wow.
Damn. His kids have growned up. Last video i saw her daughter was 9.
Funny and so on point about everything. I’ve waited 50 years to hear white folks get it and finally say the things I’ve been saying and thinking all my life. Thank you Tim.
you're anti-white, you want to kill us and make us a defeated people
i (white european) came to the usa when i was 15 and i was fucking shocked by the ignorance and indifference of white ppl regarding the abhorrent racism going on. i find it hard to trust any white american coz of what i heard these ppl say and what i watched them do. subtle or overt, but racist all the time.
i am very happy to hear him.
mike manners11 You have no need to fear. These people want justice not revenge.🤔
Tim Wise is the Man!
Truth is Truth...
Tim is such a great orator.
Fellator, you mean.
Tim just stays my entire existence with straight realness & he don't give a fuck who gets offended...i love him =)
I wonder why the hell blacks aren't benefiting from drug legalization? One of the biggest reasons why I supported drug legalization is so that blacks stop getting the shaft, but now it seems like they're still being shafted in other ways.
@ITSCRAZY NICE legalized weed is good given a lot of college students and adults smoke it and it doesn't harm them for the most part
Stay Blessed🙏
Honest talk
Tim,,Real Talk on POINT 🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉
Tim Wise for PRESIDENT!!
Tim Wise is a money grubbing race hustler,cashing in on the liberal progressive movement which has adopted the identity politics of KarlMarx .You can see how far the termites have spread when Wise,Elliot and ALL the black race hustlers all use the SAME identical racialized casuistry...its bumper sticker ideology really...
Nikki No Nose I know right? Ever since 1990, he has been toiling in the thankless work of eradicating systemic racism, all to cash in 27 years later, on the off chance progressives might find prominence in this country.
What an evergreen industry, to tell white people they should fight for equality.
I wonder how much MLK made doing the same thing?
IT'S O.K. TO BE WHITE p
Yasmine Rivera GUYS! Presidents don't have control to peace and unity. They are a peice in the "system" intended to dived and conquer wether the president is a good guy or not it's not his decision think about JFK he has good intentions so it seemed and he died right. Spread the awareness to others just like he's doing and fix these problems in your reality to help
Truth hurts
Yaaaassssss!!!! Good God! Every. Single. Word. Is. THE TRUTH!
mimzy1124 Lassiter no it’s not. He’s putting on a show. He’s an actor reading a play. Not one thing he said is true.
exactly on point
Awsome
I love this guy!!
Suzanne enough respect and love to you. It starts with awareness and admittance of the privileges and opportunities bestowed on you as a white person that is denied to others.
Tim, I encourage you to take this message to the street! Head down to North Philly late one evening and just start talking to the nice folk down there!
@naitethagr8 ... are you willfully ignorant of the violent crime in North Philly, especially if you are a short fluffy man out way past your bed time and lacking a healthy survival instinct?
Besides, if only 49 out of 100 people are violent criminals then "most" of the people in that group are not violent criminals... so your contention is not exactly convincing.
He can come to any hood with me. he’ll be protected. You wouldn’t tho 🤷🏾♂️. You’re the type we don’t trust.
StayTrue SteeZ You and Me both. When we bring a friend Home. My people respect that effort. Because they know and love me. And fortunately anyone that I am with...
Oh, how sweet it is! It's about time the truth be told! 45 didn't go to Viet Nam because he was busy grabbing himself!
Precisely my previous point hilarious.
Tim is Wise ...
Outstanding on point!!!! we see it and say same old trick different players.
This man isn't white he's Jewish.
He is a white Jew.
White Jew silly
It's great to see someone who really gets it. It shouldn't be a rare thing, but it is. Hopefully, with how easy it is to receive this information now, we're getting more white people who understand on this level. Any white people out there who are as informed or want to be, please don't be shy. We'll be happy to engage with you. It benefits us all.
The war on drugs was NEVER about drugs.
This guy is nuts.
Tim is better when he's kept to a time. He does well in interviews, kept to the time clock and pushed to get the facts out quickly. otherwise he wanders. Great writer!
TRUTH 101
I like the intention Tim alludes to; If it means closing the inequality gap with objective information even if it's just by a little (bc we do live in a capitalist society).
However, is there a way he could have a secret agenda?
did you hear a word he said
Tamilyn Roberson All 71 mins of it was music to my ears. I don't see how that correlates to my probing question?
What do you think his "secret agenda" is?
As a black person it sounds like he’s tell white ppl get ur act together cause in 30 yrs we will be out number an if we keep mistreating them they will treat us the same way we treated black an brown ppl
Real
27:00
What has Mr. Wise said that is untrue?
Marcus Darden literally everything.
@@ellomirza not ONE thing???
almost everything was false
@@mikemanners118 give me just ONE specific example please...
@@mikemanners118 If whites are being overlooked in higher education, then why are the vast majority of colleges still predominately white?
If black on white crimes was such an epidemic, then why aren't more whites speaking out about it?
These are a couple of the many questions I have about what you are saying...
When white people ask “what can we do to help” start telling your own wassup. This guy is wassup!
Dr. Wise raises some interesting points and I generally agree with his broad themes of seeking ways in increase social and cultural equity and to find solutions to re-enfranchise groups that have been marginalized historically. However, his arguments seem to push a bit toward the old "colonialist" mindset in two disturbing ways.
First, this speech, while much tongue in cheek, is incredibly patronizing to many white communities. It portrays the general American white populous as a dichotomy of the ideologically pure white community and the impure white community, the later being those who are unable to grapple with simple truths and continually hold the system back. This feels very akin to the European view of the African continent in the 1600s through 1900s. Perhaps the goal is shock value as there is a lot of truth in the fact that a history of lower rights do leave victimized groups in a lower socio-economic rung and thus limit mobility for generations. The tone just seems far more condescending than necessary.
But second, and perhaps more troubling for me, is placing the onus for change on the white community. While there is an important truth in majority groups being useful in restructuring systems, I think the thought leaders of this restructure should be from communities that experience or feel pressure from these inequities.
I also have a few more minor issues with stats that are used without proper context and with pre-packaged conclusions. For example, the point about wealth disparities between races uses a univariant analysis (10:04). This a poor practice from a social science perspective as there are other contributing factors, such as socio-economic class, that tend to be more explanatory when considering wealth distribution. Of course, this does not mean there isn't an issue or that black families make up a disproportionate share of the lower socio-economic class due largely to historic racial treatment. But this drastically reduces the picture and potential overlooks the best policy option.
Further it seems academically unwise to posit that higher rates of white "despair" indicators (alcohol, drug abuse, self abuse, etc 55:58) are due to skin color perspectives through a lens of oppression. This may be part of the issue, but it seems to leave out other contributing factors like socio-economic status or continual rhetoric that (justly) fights for the rights of other groups but might leave a working-class group feeling marginalized. Even if marginalization is only a perception, that will not make it any less true to the group feeling it.
Please comment if you believe I misunderstood any of these points, and I would love suggestions of other thinkers who might articulate these ideas in a different manner.
Well said! I agree he "places the onus for change on the White community", and that's disturbing AND demeaning. I have many White friends, but I don't need some wannabe-White-savior like Tim Wise. I prefer the quote, "There is no fate but what we make."
Certainly I've experienced racism, but ultimately my life is MINE. And I've lived in enough horrible places to be grateful that I'm an American citizen. America obviously isn't perfect, but it's a free country where a woman like me has the same legal rights as any White man.
I know an elderly Black woman who marched with Martin Luther King in the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s, and she gave me a button that was popular back then:
_LOVE SEES NO COLOR_
Nowadays, ironically, that's considered "racist" or "race erasure". And women like me are called "marginalized" and "victims" by Marxist collectivists like Tim Wise, who can't see beyond my skin color, who can't see my character because he's too blinded by his Grievance Glasses through which _EVERYTHING_ is a Soviet-style battle between The Oppressors and The Oppressed.
It's really sad, it's like we've gone backwards in progress. Harvard even held a segregated graduation ceremony for Black students; and many universities are creating increasingly segregated study spaces where only certain races are allowed.
I want people to judge me for who I am, for my character, not just look at me and think I'm some hapless, helpless "marginalized victim of White supremacy". Until people can look beyond race and can judge people by character and ethics, racism will continue to divide nations and curtail progress.
We should be working together on making the world better in whatever ways we can, not splitting people apart along color lines.
I think I smell gas - but oh what a lovely light!
Racism would be arrogant enough to think as a white person yo have to make rude comments like you have the answers and really understand what black folk go through ; your either racist , want to forget , or its guilt but stop telling a race that still continues to be disrespected get over it ; wheres our reparations every other group got them . TIM WISE you need to be on tv more than ever .
Tim Wise protects Jewish zionist interest and deflects off of it. . The truth is The Jewish state of Israel will not free the innocent peoples of Palestine. Bishop Tutu a mean of peace and love who lived under the old South Africa Apartheid government. Visit the Jewish state of Israel and Palestine and reported tot he world Jewish Israel is racist Apartheid state worst then the old South Africa Apartheid government. So why does not Tim speak out against Jewish Israel racist toward the innocent people of Palestine? And if Apartheid was wrong in South Africa why is it allowed in Israel and funded with billions of USA tax dollars?
Jew-ISH people are White people who follow a 9-10th century religion they created called Judaism..
If that was the truth. Why are they called Semitic peoples Who live in the middle east?
If that was the truth. Why do they call themselves semitic peoples and have a nation in the middle east called Israel?
Can we not deflect and distract from what he is actually talking about?
Classic argument...yea he's saying this, but what about his views on that?? Look over there!! Lol🤦🏽♂️
Starts out by admitting he's a liar and a grifter. Almost no one hears him. That's skill. 👏
Third verse of The National Anthem:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Dear "fellow whites" eh Timmy?
the guy is a Jew ! he rants about White people, but doesn't see his own hatred of White people.
" which means they were therefore always eligible ..........."
Yes, yes unfortunately for the rest of us yes.
"... Then they must have been "bred out"...."
Lol, no that is most certainly not how it works
As I understand it they are largely European with some middle eastern admixture.
Well it depends on how you wish to define the term "race". Ashkenazim almost certainly have different genes that account for their higher average IQ (verbal and mathematical). They (around 2% of the population) are the most over represented ethnic group in the West. I myself probably wouldn't see the logic in classifying them as a distinct "race".
So more like .... "overwhelmingly white", but something aint quite right
Yeshua (Jesus) was a Jew, too. Are you disavowing him? Tell me exactly what "being white" means? It really has no cachet outside of places where there are majority whites. Which goes a long way in explaining why whites feel so uncomfortable around people when they're not in the majority. So I know that you don't even believe your own bullshit, because if you did, you wouldn't have that fear. But yet you do. It's the same fear that causes a white cop to shoot a Black man even when he's unarmed; the same fear that motivates lynch mobs to murder Black men, women and children, pose in pictures with the burned and charred corpses but too cowardly to admit the same when confronted about it. I know who you are, and worse yet, YOU know who you are, too.
More people need to see this...40 likes...🤦🏽♂️. Thank you Mr. Wise.
this guy is a fucking loser
Robin Di'Angelo- Author of book called White Fragility. She's AWESOME!!!!!!
Paddy Tarleton 'The Ballad of Tiny Tim Wise' that about sums him up
only the racists will hate tim wise & his videos #bottomline
Tim Wise is right.
No.
Wrong
Tim wise for president 2020!
I was raised to believe people were generally good to others. The process of realizing the truth nearly killed me. Would it have been better if I had been raised to believe people are generally bad? I'm not sure. Are we sure these "deaths of despair" didn't already exist in the black community, and the great recession simply couldn't increase what was already there?
King of white guilt
U can only have guilt if you are wrong dumbass
If facts make you feel guilty
Tudd Fudders If that make you feel better to think like this, so continue to choose to be ignorant. Enjoy your privilege.🦗
@@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER no
just be born white
The difference between Colin and Tim Wise and those who of us who disagree with them is that we love this country and are willing to sacrifice what it takes to climb the social ladder. Enough with the excuses and anecdotal evidence, blacks and my Hispanic people need to stop complaining and whatever they they do, stay away from this victimhood mentality sold by Tim.
Hsandov 369 I can speak for the Black folk. We been marching on since force migration . We built America on free labor, not low wages. We are mire Patriotic than most citizens of the USA.
@@bigvalley4987 it’s ok in 30 yrs we will outnumber whites an whites will see what it’s like to be a minority an black an brown ppl need to look the other way the same good white ppl do lol
You should run for Office?
✡Tim Wise✡
Dragases XI Wow, what a damning, incisive critique of his ideas. You're such a deep thinker
I used to really enjoy hearing this guy speak. But now it seems like he's trying to be belligerent and sniping at anything he can to put white people down and hold them accountable for everything that happens. He acts like he's trying to identify with a very specific left wing group and the message im hearing from him these days is if you're not in agreement with everything he says then you're the bad guy. He has some great points and does a great deal to wake people up to the reality of our social situation. He's doing more attacking than trying to sway people to the light of our situation. He didn't do that back in the day. He was more aware of the importance of meeting people on respectful and neutral ground and focusing on talking and teaching people. If you attack people they will never listen. So basically at this point he had become lazy. His messages are now intended for the people that have already set their minds in the same direction. I'll still listen to him but id love to hear more of the way he used to be. He was very inspiring to me.
Doug Watson Let this sink in, now time is up. No longer do anyone of privilege should continue to sit back because they are comfortable. If we appeal to humanity. All have to rise (99%) of us have to develop a mindset . If Your Brother (are Sister) in trouble. So are You...🤔
No he’s trying to get white ppl to change because he’s scared in 30 yrs black an brown ppl will outnumber u guys an they might want to treat u the same damn why u treated us an make laws that affect ur ass
But are you just talking for talk to the crowd ..Or do you believe what your saying ..So please don't try to entertain..Please be serious about my people.
debate club is off the chain
Why is a 50 yr old talking like a 20yr old rapper? Hes' trying to be too relevant to the times in his approach
I earnestly think it's just the way he talks and his kids, and other young people he talks to, might influence his speech pattern a bit( I feel like he talks a great deal with his children at home.). He sounded a great deal like this 10 years ago.
But did you get the message?
Free black men had to do slave patrol as well. I can get behind a lot of what this man is saying. However he shouldn't just give out some info without giving out the rest. Let's not tell half truths here. If your going to tell it then tell the whole. This is the problem we have today. We tell half truths without telling people the rest of the story. And people jump all over the half truth like it's gospel. Then when another person tells them the whole truth, that person must be a liar.
Another crybaby looking for a handout 😭😭😭
Tim wise is a joke
Gary Burch you DON'T like truth wake up my white brother
Chet Simmons. He's directing hate to me I thought, but I have realized a lot since then. I lost hate for even those I think hate me.
Rene Guenon yeah I just laugh it off. Let the haters hate. What they gonna do take my birthday away.
Gary Burch
You make no sense. Are you on opiods?

You can't handle the truth or making love with your 1st cousin !
