I Googled Tim Wise and here was what first came up:
Tim Wise is the Director of the newly-formed Association for White Anti-Racist Education (AWARE) in Nashville, Tennessee. He lectures across the country about the need to combat institutional racism, gender bias, and the growing gap between rich and poor in the U.S. Wise has been called a "leftist extremist" by David Duke, "deceptively Aryan-looking" by a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and "the Uncle Tom of the white race," by right-wing author, Dinesh D' Souza. Whatever else can be said about him, his ability to make the right kind of enemies seems unquestioned.
With Dinesh calling him Uncle Tom it promises to be a fascinating debate - I really hope I can make it!
I would have liked to be there. Too bad I'm 9 timezones away. Woulda, shoulda, but couldn'ta. Make sure you update us. I want to know how it goes.
Would definetly like to hear this...too bad I have a class tonight. Please do let us know how it goes.
