Tim Wise at UA
Anti-racism activist spoke at UA tonight as a part of Rethinking Race.  Those who attended were fortunate. Thanks Tim.

Tim Wise' book White Like Me has been made into a film and here is a panel discussion with the author and Michael Eric Dyson and others that might spark your interest in seeing the film.

In his talk tonight Wise pointed out that the wealthiest 500 white Americans own as much as all 41 million African Americans.  And he cited a recent Oxfam study showing that the wealthiest 85 individuals on the planet own as much as the bottom half, 3.5 billion people.

For those who believe in meritocracy, or for those who look at our world and conclude that those who have made it worked hard and others did not...can you really conclude that 85 people worked harder than 3.5 billion people?
