I think this article of his (i haven't read many Tim Wise articles) doesn't rub on me the wrong way because it feels like a white man calling other other white people out around whiteness, as opposed to a white man informing white women how to be better feminists. the latter sentiment is there too i suppose... and you are right, this would have probably been a more powerful message if a white woman had said it. <BR/><BR/>European Dissent you say? imma have to look that up. come back and let me know if you find anything.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317048685329784696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756555647206668344.post-66017168367225743252008-06-13T06:31:00.000-07:002008-06-13T06:31:00.000-07:00Not about Shirley Chisolm here. About the Tim Wise...Not about Shirley Chisolm here. About the Tim Wise article you mention. Now, I like Tim's stuff. He has some of the best contemporary antiracist analysis, at least the best from a white man. However, I've been uncomfortable for a while about Tim vis a vis gender. In his writings, interviews, and in person, he seems really comfortable in his male skin, evoking a certain entitlement in the casual way he carries himself, etc. Not that that is necessarily wrong, and I don't know him personally, so I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt.<BR/><BR/>However, I have yet to see him offer any deep analysis or self-awareness of how gender affects him. Other than an occasional simple acknowledgment that he gets male privilege.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, though the race analysis of his latest article is good, I'm not sure Tim was the person to write it. I mean, shouldn't this kind of thing come from a white woman?<BR/><BR/>I've heard a rumor that there has been a response from some folks from European Dissent (in NOLA). I hope that discussion gets posted somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
