Follow this link to a video clip of Tim Wise talking about the history of white privilege.

This is an interesting take on U.S. history. He is not completely alone in saying what he is saying. I have read some books recently that corroborate a few of the minor points that he is making. (That is corroboration to whatever degree that you can believe what these books are saying.)

I have not done any research yet on who Tim Wise is. I suppose I could be taking a chance on posting a link to his lecture if he turns out to be some certifiable maniac. I have enough faith in you readers to think that you will be able to decide for yourself if there is anything of value here.
