In the third installment of our series on white fragility and nationalism in higher education, Ralph Newell welcomes writer and activist Tim Wise. As one of the nation’s most prominent anti-racist essayists, educators, philanthropists, and philosophers, tune in as this “vanilla brother” discusses what created the perfect storm for white anxiety; its long-term ramifications; how white privilege manifests in higher education; and what we, as allies, can do better.
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“When you're used to hegemony, pluralism feels like oppression.”
“Privilege keeps us unsafe, lets us down, gives us an advantage at first psychologically and maybe even materially. But in the long run, it comes back to haunt us.”
“If you're feeling guilty about being white, it is because you are learning about the wrong white people.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
