That picture isn't of that op-ed's author, by the way. That's Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, whom the author literally says we should praise in the same way Mother Teresa is praised. :barf:

This is the author, on the left in this photo. Presumably he's just shared some witty bon mot about those filthy poors.

There are some WOC on twitter who make a few extremely compelling criticisms. The responses to the meltdowns that ensue can sometimes be a little troubling because they seem almost gleeful, but that is a separate issue. Below is a screenshot of one of last night's meltdowns (there were a couple), his apology, and some commentary on his apology:






@emma_rosenthal

quote:

1. tim wise's no-pology references tone. the tone argument is inappropriate when lobbed against targets of oppression.

2. but when someone uses tone from a position of power& authority, it is used to intimidate and silence. it's nt the same "tone"

3. by his own admission/self definition, wise speaks from a position of authority & power. he is not the disempowered oppressed

@suey_park

quote:

But Tim Wise has more in common with George Zimmerman than he does Trayvon Martin. Reflect on that.

@timjacobwise You have a BA and I'm a grad student, yet one of us gets paid an exponential amount more than the other. Privilege.

My main critique of white *allies* has to do with Tim Wise's work, which many white allies find appealing. Why is it appealing?

It's appealing because his work is centered around a redemptive narrative of white allyship. He's basically an evangelical preacher.

And in said work, he pinpoints how racism ALSO hurts white people, and thus they should care, rather than caring b/c it hurts POC.

"4 June 1962. Navy chaplain Luis Padillo was walking around giving last rites to dying soldiers as sniper fire surrounded him. A wounded soldier pulled himself up by clinging to the priest’s cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. Hector Rondón Lovera, who had to lie flat to avoid getting shot, later said that he was unsure how he managed to take this picture. Norman Rockwell eeriely used this photograph as a template for his Southern Justice painting, “Murder in Mississippi“.

It was taken in Puerto Cabello Naval Base, Venezuela, the city of 80,000 beside the nation’s largest naval base 75 miles west of the capital Caracas . Venezuela’s constitution was only a year old in 1962, but already there have been two attempts to overthrow the government. A third came in June 1962, when Puerto Cabello became the scene of one of the bitterest fighting in modern Venezuelan history, now known as the Porteñazo.. The bloody struggle between government forces and guerrilla rebels in the naval base who had the support of the residents of Puerto Cabello. Hector Rondon, who was in Caracas, travelled sixy miles to arrive just in time to see government tanks rolling into the town. Official casualty figures for the military were 47 dead, 89 wounded. But unofficial estimates put the toll, including civilians, at more than 300."

I blame Andrew Breitbart's death for Wise's meltdown. They'd fight all the time on Twitter but now that he's gone, he has more time to fight with the Tumblr people, thus continuing the left's everlasting cycle of self-sabotage. :(

Have some more political social media fun:

He's still a great resource for people who are unfamiliar with white privilege and whatnot, but he's got a few flaws/problems if you dig deeper in. He's to antiracism in the same way that Metallica and Pantera are to heavy metal.
