From the DVD:

The Pathology of Privilege
Racism, White Denial & the Costs of Inequality

For years, acclaimed author and speaker Tim Wise has been electrifying audiences on the college lecture circuit with his deeply personal take on whiteness and white privilege. In this spellbinding lecture, the author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son offers a unique, inside-out view of race and racism in America. Expertly overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise provides a non-confrontational explanation of white privilege and the damage it does not only to people of color, but to white people as well. This is an invaluable classroom resource: an ideal introduction to the social construction of racial identities, and a critical new tool for exploring the often invoked – but seldom explained – concept of white privilege.

If you have the need to watch the whole talk you may need to look it up or purchase the dvd.

DAYUM!!–Usain Bolt-The Fastest Man Alive

usain_bolt_2

So I am here watching Usain Bolt the Fastest Man Alive and it give me such a sense of pride knowing that a fellow Jamaican has placed his name and life on the map of human memory and has existed in my lifetime. Like many we all aspire to be remembered as the memory you leave behind good or bad will define if you existed. At this stage in the game he has done just what he intended to do in his journey through life. The Surname says it all Bolt, the man that runs with the thunder.
