not all of it yes but i did listen to him talk about it the balkans it was a comparison to what has happen before like the french in algeria and romans in gaul they divide and conquer play their enemy against each other then take over them both
so i ask again what is it he do beside talking? does he have any charities? does he go to the courts to get rid of the discrimination? does he do anything else besides his talks? where he talks about the blacks are dying when they shouldnt be but they are because the whites are not giving them the medicines why does the tim wise himself not give the medicines that they are not getting? the social issues they have been in other places before yeah they take care of them like the mother theresa and caeser chavez they went out and help them not just talk the talks they walk the walks is it what tim wise do? the mother theresa she took vow of poverty while this is what has been said the tim wise live in one of the gate community in a house worth over the 600,000 dollars that is a lot of moneys yeah? moneys he could put to better use to get them the healthcares and medicines they are not getting dont you think? now you might think i am getting into zionism but i think this is important the tim wise in a tv show the CNN he says "well im jewish" and later in it he is talking about christ as if he believe jesus was son of god and the messiah and in his speeches he will be saying i am white, not jewish so what is he? is he a jew? a white? a christian? why does he keep changing it?
Expecting Tim Wise to spend money out of his pocket to fix the medical and financial inequalities in the Afro American community and communities of color is unrealistic. It could never be done. It requiers the action of government to do that. The problems facing people of color are due in large part to environmental racism. It means that environmental pollution is disposed of either in or near communities of color. For example, garbage dumps where hazerdous materials are disposed being place in black and brown communities. Plants that give off toxic smoke being built in communities of color. For example, in the South Bronx, there are several factories that give off toxic smoke. What this has resulted in is that the South Bronx has one of the highest rates of respitory illness in the country. I think at one time, it had the highest rates of ahsma in the country. It means that neighborhoods where the majority of people are of color receive less sanitation collection, resulting in piles of garbage that attract rats, roaches and other problems.
By focusing all your attention on criticizing Wise, you are choosing to ignore the fact that what he is saying is true. Zionism has nothing to do with this, whether or not he is a Jew or a Christian has nothing to do with this, (but just so you know, there are actually Jews who do believe Jesus was the messiah). What is important is what he is talking about. If America is to become the society it says it is, then we have to all do our part to erase the divisions and injustices faced by all Americans, regardless of their color, religion or social class. Had it not been for people, both Black and White speaking out against slavery and informing people how evil it really was, this country would probably be like Saudi Arabia and Muritania that only abolished slavery in the 20th century. If it wasn't for black people who gave speeches and protested discrimination, you my friends as a Muslim North African would never have been able to come to this country legally and live here legally. Whereever you were before you came here, obviously things were not that great, otherwise, why would you be here. Because of people like Wise, not only do you enjoy the legal right to be here, but legally, no one can discriminate against you and refuse to let you live where you want to, eat where you want to, shop where you want to. Your little corner of Texas was a much different place 50yrs ago. Believe me, you would not have been welcome. So please, do us all a favor. Since you are a member of a forum that focuses on issues affecting the community of people of african descent, a people, history and culture you know almost nothing about, listen, learn and ask relavent questions. You are more than welcome here, whether or not you are African. You are more than welcome to share information and aspects of your culture, an African culture many are not familiar with, with us. But please, stop hijacking discussion topics with irrelivant arguments. We are not all the same here, we do not always agree with each other on every point, but for the most point, we can stay focused on the topic of discussion.
i ask what do you think white privileges are and would say this mr tim wise has them? i hope this is pertaining to the topic enough
