White Like Me

     On the last day of class we watched "White Like Me." Tim Wise is an antiracist educator and author. He tells his story about how when he was younger he went to a school where he was one of three students who was not black. His parents wanted him to know what it was like to be the minority. Wise went to college at Tulane University where he was an activist against equal rights.
     When Obama was elected president this was the turning point in black equality. This was compared to when the Prime Minister of Pakistan being a woman. It was apparent that racism was still present in American when white people were angry that Obama was elected president. Another thing that was brought up in the documentary was the criminal justice system. Most of the people in jail in America happen to be African American. He also says that there is racism against white people as well.
