Whites Swim in Racial Preference -- Tim Wise

Premise:
  • race
  • privelage
  • college
  • rural
  • presidents opinion
  • famililes
  • minorities
  • income
  • affirmitive action
  • preferance
  • money
Argument:
  • Wise argues that whites suck and need to get over themselves.
Evidence:
  • "so long as those privelages remain firmly in place and the preferential treatment that flows from those privelages continues to work to the benefit of the whites..."
  • "affirmitive action for whites was embodied in teh abolition of European indentured servitude..."
  • "in other words, it is hardly an exaggeration to say that white America is the biggest collective recipient of racial preference in the history of the cosmos."
Questions/Comments:
  • Sorry but this article really frustrated me. Can't put my finger on it...but it really really bothered me.
