Tim Wise Here's my appearance tonight on CNN Headline News, once again debating Joe Hicks. But this time, the host didn't cut me off when I mentioned Glenn Beck and the other right wing hosts who are daily pushing racist buttons, so it went far better than before...plus, Joe is the one who got pissy, rather than me, which was sorta humorous.

Tim Wise Hey everyone--I got attacked by Lou Dobbs today! He called me a "self-loathing creep." Awesome. Once again, to say that a white person condemning white racism is "self-loathing," is like saying the very essence of being white is to BE a racist: that loving oneself as a white person requires endorsing white racism. Wow,... Lou must not think much of white people...ironic, dontcha' think...

Tim Wise was confronted by an actual Nazi at a speech the other day. I'm wondering what folks think is the best way to address security concerns (given that some of these people are dangerous)? I want to be safe, but I have to balance that against the desire NOT to send the wrong message to the crowd: namely, that fighting raci...sm is so inherently dangerous that someone might try to kill them if they do it. Ideas?
Tim Wise wants feedback. I am writing a piece on why the "birther" nonsense re: Obama is fundamentally about race and racism. My position is that it is about the anxiety some white folks feel at the notion that their vision of "an American" is being contested every day in a multicultural nation unlike the one they took for gran...ted all these years. Any suggestions/ideas? Top 3 reasons the birther stuff is about race?
