An Uncle Tim


Perhaps the best-written response to Tuesday's election -- frank, clear, logical, and pithy -- is by professional anti-racist Tim Wise.

First, though, who is Tim? TimWise.org says:
Tim Wise is among the most respected anti-racist writers & educators in the U.S., having spoken in 48 states and on over 400 college campuses. He has trained teachers as well as corporate, government, media and law enforcement officials on methods for dismantling institutional racism, and has served as an consultant for plaintiff’s attorneys in federal discrimination cases in New York and Washington State. Wise has contributed essays to fifteen books, and has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows worldwide to discuss race and racism.

His Wikipedia page says he's now up to 600 college campuses. He has an appearance scheduled at the University of the South in Tennessee next Tuesday and at Cal State LA on Wednesday. (That's not a particularly easy trip. The man works hard to make a living.) I was under the impression that he had a gig at Georgia Tech as well, but that now seems to be off his schedule. 

Now, you might think that this kind of career would be reserved for blacks, but that just shows how you aren't aware of White Privilege. Tim is a white man of Scottish and Jewish heritage.

Of all the Uncle Tims, he's the Uncle Timmiest.

It's important to understand that Tim is neither controversial nor a controversialist. The colleges that pay him his lecture fee view him as a public-spirited citizen, no more controversial than was, say, a doctor in the 1920s who traveled the country lecturing on the dangers of venereal disease. Tim is not "controversial" -- a term that has shifted in the 40 or so years I've been reading newspapers from one of praise (often, back then, with Ron Burgundyish hubba-hubba connotations: "Masters & Johnson Reveal their Controversial Report on the Female Orgasm!") to one of sniffy warning. Today, Charles Murray is "controversial." Tim Wise is, oh, "outspoken."

And Tim is not a controversialist. He is no more expected to engage in debate with those he denounces than that VD doctor was expected to debate the spirochaetes he warned against.

Keep in mind, that Tim is not a major newsmaker in American public life. The last time he was cited in the New York Times, for example, appears to have been 2006 and before that in 1992. Is that because he's kind of a junior varsity player or because what he has to say is not terribly controversial?

And that raises a key question about his recent essay, An Open Letter to the White Right, On the Occasion of Your Recent, Successful Temper Tantrum. Something this lucid seem hardly like an idiosyncratic effusion. Instead, it's the product of a clear worldview. I don't think most of Tim's political allies have thought this through as fully as he has, but I think the emotions and basic logic are, indeed, widespread. We've heard endlessly about Republican anger and hatred, but Freud's concept of "projection" remains a highly useful one to keep in mind when reading the newspaper. 

Tim writes:
For all y’all rich folks, enjoy that champagne, or whatever fancy ass Scotch you drink.

And for y’all a bit lower on the economic scale, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon, ...

Whatever the case, and whatever your economic station, know this . . .

You need to drink up.

And quickly.

And heavily.

Because your time is limited.

Real damned limited.

So party while you can, but mind the increasingly loud clock ticking away in the corners of your consciousness.

The clock that reminds you how little time you and yours have left.

Not much more now.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick.

Tock. ...
Put it on your Facebook wall and leave it there so you’ll remember that I told you so.

It is coming, and soon.

This isn’t hubris. It isn’t ideology. It is not wishful thinking.

It is math.

Not even advanced math. Just simple, basic, like 3rd grade math.

The kind of math that proves how your kind—mostly older white folks beholden to an absurd, inaccurate, nostalgic fantasy of what America used to be like—are dying. ...


And in the pantheon of American history, old white people have pretty much always been the bad guys, the keepers of the hegemonic and reactionary flame, the folks unwilling to share the category of American with others on equal terms.

Fine, keep it up. It doesn’t matter.

Because you’re on the endangered list.

And unlike, say, the bald eagle or some exotic species of muskrat, you are not worth saving. ...

By then, half the country will be black or brown. And there is nothing you can do about it.

Nothing, Senõr Tancredo.

Nothing, Senõra Angle, or Senõra Brewer, or Senõr Beck.

Loy tiene muy mal, hijo de Puta. ...


We just have to be patient.

And wait for your hearts to stop beating.

And stop they will.

And for some of you, real damned soon, truth be told.

Do you hear it?

The sound of your empire dying? Your nation, as you knew it, ending, permanently?

Because I do, and the sound of its demise is beautiful.

So know this.

If you thought this election was payback for 2008, remember . . .

Payback, thy name is . . .

Temporary.

It's important to note that Tim isn't calling here for, say, mass murder, just as when Khrushchev said "We'll bury you," he didn't mean "Under rubble and fallout," but more like, "We'll dance at your funeral."

But, the emotions are clear. And they're common.

"On his blog, several people seem to think Wise is deluded to imagine he'll be part of the new 'brown-black' elite because he's white. They're wrong."

"I disagree. To the Mestizos projected to be the majority population in the US by the end of this century, the Uncle Tims of the world are nothing but useful idiots, and will be dealt with as such. Jewish intellectuals will not have the same power in a brown America, they'll be viewed as contemptible whites, and therefore suspect no matter how willing they are to sell-out their own side. Brown people distrust whites that act against their own interest because that behavior is anti-instinctual, and they are viewed as punks."

You guys don't get it. Once whites are no longer the majority, the Jewish elite will find excuses--legal, national, cultural, moral, etc--to stop immigration. They control the media and politicians, so they get to shape the debate and direct the agenda.
Jews don't want open borders for open borders sake or out of their love of Hispanics. It's simply to decrease the power of white goyim.
Once that is accomplished and whites are fatally destroyed as a majority-political-force, Jews have no more need to bring in ever more Mexicans.

And though Timmy boy talks about blacks/browns against whites, he and his ilk are also trying to divide and rule over blacks and browns. Many Jews are worried about blacks saying 'Hymietown' and stuff, so they've decided to play browns against blacks as well as play blacks and browns against whites.

If WE ran the media, we would have a very different kind of national discussion by focusing on different issues or shaping the current issues differently, but most of the media is controlled by people who agree with Tim Wise and Frank Rich, so the current moral paradigm is you're 'xenophobic' or 'racist' if you oppose non-white immigration. It's as though Jews are for INCLUSION while we are for EXCLUSION. But if we controlled the media, we could associate OPEN BORDERS with Jewish tribal attempt to undermine white majority power.

"South African Jews were generally anti-Apartheid. That's not the same as 'trashing Afrikaners'; that's just believing in democracy and equal rights."

Joe Slovo was a communist Jew.

And how come that Jewish looking guy is singing KILL THE BHULU along with Mandela?

Here's my own half baked idea of why Wise might be the way he is (simply based on this article and his accompanying picture).

It may be that he was a bit of an outcast as a youth, and that scarred him. He probably grew up in a nearly all white area, where he was not good at sports, had little success with women, and was generally regarded as a dweeb.

As a result of not being able to make it in the dominant society, he turned against it with a vengeance, currying favor with others who similarly don't make it in the mainstream society. Only now, his cohort isn't just fellow disaffected whites, but ever growing numbers of NAMs who lap up his every denunciation of the whites in society they failed.

The kind of hatred he exudes almost screams that he was a loser as a youth, and ever scarred by the experience, he now lashes out, with an appreciative audience of his fellow travelers and their swarthy clients. Why else would you hate your own kind so vehemently?

John D: The kind of hatred he exudes almost screams that he was a loser as a youth...

But, conversely, the reason that he was an outcast might have been because his childhood classmates could already sense the evil in him.

This stuff tends to begin to emerge at a very young age, and the other children can smell it a mile away.

Lol, if you read the comments at the link I posted, you'd know that Tim probably doesn't predicate anything on NAM-love. They take a giant crap on him and he takes it in stride because they're props to him. Useful idiots.

Svigor said...

Uhm, whether he does, and who he considers his own kind, is a subject of considerable debate.

Except, of course, the aformentioned title of his book.

More brilliance from Truth. If you dress up like Che and spout neo-Marxist platitudes to get close to Chavez and assassinate him, you're a devoted commie.

Cuz people never lie.

Jonathan said...

My own half-baked idea is that Wise has the "liberal gene". He doesn't think with his brain. He thinks with his emotions. And he's not intelligent enough to understand the implications of the philosophies he advocates. He's only intelligent enough to be dangerous.

Anonymous posted a link to Youtube video where a guy, by replacing "Whites" with "Jews" demonstrates how Wise's tactics parallels that of Nazis. The video turned out to be very popular.

Surprise! It was taken down: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by TWise Inc." What a despicable worm our Timmy boy!

Time Wise compliments Sewanee students for not asking “challenging questions”

Sewanee costs White parents $46,000 per year. (The Diversity all get free ride scholarships in effort to increase Sewanee’s much needed Diversity.)

For that $46,000 x four years, White parents can be assured that their White children are learning to:

1. Never ask a challenging question when encountering a University sponsored anti White hatemonger on campus with a question such as, “What faith do you have in the blacks such that if we rid society of White privilege and social inequality by lowering ourselves down to their level that they will not keep pulling us down even further?”

2. Never even think to challenge anti White hatred, because it is now the normal, accepted, and expected mainstream attitude on college campuses and in any corporation or institution that hosts Diversity speakers and hires Officers of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion.

“As it turns out, about 400 people came to my talk at Sewanee (also known as the University of the South) — an incredibly conservative campus — and none caused trouble or even asked a challenging question.

http://www.timwise.org/2010/11/talking-loud-and-saying-nothing/

In that case, Sewanee should no longer be allowed the proud reputation as “conservative.” It now should be called ”extremely liberal and dangerously radical.”

Maybe the $46,000 is money well spent. White college students will graduate from Sewanee knowing how to keep their mouths shut and will therefore not be targeted for career oppression and marginalization by the Diversity Enforcers and the new, rising Multicultural Elite who embrace their own unearned Diversity Privilege while punishing high achieving and meritorious Whites.

Students who speak up and ask the “challenging questions” will be targeted as “potentially dangerous extremists who need watching, and certainly are still holding onto unacknowledged and outdated biases, and possibly are real racists who retain a shameful nostalgia for the ‘innocence and purity’ of Jim Crow segregation.”

Parody is explicitly protected, so in this case despicable worm Timmy is being eagerly enabled by the despicable worms at Google/Youtube.

If the University of the South is as "incredibly conservative" as Tim Wise claims, there is NO WAY he would have appeared there. Hillsdale College is conservative. He would never allowed to present his Marxist worldview there without dissenting opinion.

The NUMBER ONE problem in this country is the take over of the academic institutions by the Leftists. Until this problem is fixed, all the Tea Parties and all the Glenn Beck anti-George Soros seminars in the world will have no effect.

The culture of the country is being radicalized right before our very eyes, since the 1960s, and nothing real is being done. No leadership from people like Sarah Palin on that one. I thought she was our latest Great White Hope.

Well, well, well. It's starting to look like this 3/4 Jewish thing is yet another anti-Semitic lie.

Jesse D.P. Carslonite said...

Sewanee once was "incredibly conservative," as it was supposed to be from the beginning onward. But the liberals in the Episcopal Church have ruined it. Now, it is "incredibly, horrifically, and dangerously liberal."

Time Wise called it "incredibly conservative" to show that he is helping to break down its outdated attitudes, he is a pioneer, he is a trailblazer, he is a civil rights icon, he attacks discrimination and the evil White privilege, and he's so good at it, even "incredibly conservative" Sewanee can't resist his power.

Sewanee of the past would never have allowed him on the Mountain. Sewanee of Diversity will probably have him back soon for the Sewanee Hates Whitey Part II.

I'd put it about number 3. But it's crucial nonetheless.


As I see it, endlessly mendacious leftwing profs and admins aren't immortal, which means there is an opportunity to replace them.
I'm curious, how would you go about fixing it? (Or how would you recommend people serious about fixing it attempt to fix it?)

"The blacks who fantasize about a black + brown coalition dominating and paying back citizens of European stock are just as deluded. Mestizos and blacks can be very easily divided and conquered by a smart managerial class, and are not exactly natural allies."

With that said, I really do feel for you people.You just don't get it but the proverbial rude awakening is near ! It really hurts to discover that you are not Master's of the Universe, after all.

The world grew, survived, thrived for centuries before you came into being. So, go ahead keep thinking you are above everyone else.
