In this audiobook, Tim Wise, a Black man and a scholar of white supremacy, takes us on a journey through the darkest reaches of American history. We learn about how whites were able to accomplish their goal of becoming "the master race." Humanity progresses by passing down knowledge from generation to generation in an unbroken chain. Wise notes that blacks are the only race not allowed to be carriers of the knowledge passed down by generations.
"White Like Me" by Tim Wise is a powerful and compelling audiobook that breaks down the history of white supremacy in America. It begins with an overview of how slavery was used to justify the importation of Africans into the U.S., and then examines how this system of forced enslavement was central to Western culture, while also examining the historical roots of racism in America.
It was in the summer of 2014 when I first heard this book called "White like Me." The speaker is a young black man who, while on vacation in Hawaii, saw his white friends drink their alcohol and eat their food without any hesitation. It makes me think about how easy it is for white people today to live as if they are not white. White Like Me written by Tim Wise is about how white people can learn to see racism in their everyday life and make a change for themselves and society as a whole.
White Like Me is the story of Tim Wise, a white man from the suburbs who, after he is arrested for trying to cross a White supremacist group, learns about the ways in which racism operates and ultimately becomes a Black activist.
On December 31, 2014, back when people still believed in the American dream, President Obama said that if you are not "confident about your place in America," you should get out of the country. Now he and his fellow Democrats have launched a new drive to welcome immigrants from all over the world who in turn will vote Democrat.
