Agenda: Confronting White Privilege

Racism remains a deeply entrenched issue in American society, and few individuals articulate its complexities as effectively as Tim Wise. As a lawyer, writer, activist, and speaker, Wise has dedicated decades to exposing the realities of white privilege, systemic inequality, and the urgent need for meaningful reform. He has slso been a vocal advocate for critical race theory. This evening, we will be viewing and discussing a challenging speech in which he presents compelling insights on racism in America.

Recognized for his direct and unapologetic approach, Wise emphasizes that racism extends beyond individual prejudice—it is a systemic issue that has historically advantaged white Americans while marginalizing communities of color. He frequently references historical policies, such as redlining and mass incarceration, as evidence that racial disparities are not coincidental but rather deeply embedded within societal structures.

He also stresses the importance of moving beyond a “charitable mindset” to a “solidarity mindset,” encouraging people to see themselves as interconnected with marginalized communities rather than simply offering help from a distance.
