On today’s episode anti-racism activist and author Tim Wise examines the concept of Whiteness and what he describes as the psychological wage of whiteness. Wise provides historical perspective on the current political and social climate. In his talk, Great White Hoax: Racism, Divide-and-Conquer, and Politics, Wise explores the ways in which white privilege and fragility have shaped our nation’s narrative around race and given way to the rise in white national hate speech and violence.
