Here is the old clip (which I didn’t know had ever been made available, frankly) from CNN, in which I discussed (via telephone) Donald Trump’s absurd, and frankly racist allegations about President Obama’s lack of academic credentials. Dated now, but still a pretty good one…
Here is a short presentation on white privilege, from earlier this year at Austin Peay State University, in Clarksville, TN. Since my other WP presentation on the web is quite a bit longer, this one might be more user friendly for some folks, either for classroom or personal use. Somewhat basic 101/201 level, but still […]
Here is an interview and full speech video from May at Edmonds Community College, in Lynwood, WA, conducted by Christine Hudyma. This interview was immediately following my lecture at the school, and explores issues ranging from my own upbringing and involvement in antiracist work, to larger matters of institutional racism, white racial resentment in the […]
Some things are so predictable that you can very nearly set your clock by them. High on the list of predictable happenings in my own life is the regular and repeated receipt of e-mails or Facebook messages whose authors insist that in my passion for the elimination of racial inequities, I am wasting my time, […]
New You Tube promotional clip for David Banner’s latest, “SWAG,” which features an intro of me speaking on the use of the n-word at Boston College in 2004…I’m not on the actual single, which you can get at iTunes, but still, it’s cool being on the You Tube version…maybe it’ll make the cut when he […]

Among them: 1) Ya’ know, there really should be […]

Just another example of how the right plays deliberately to white racial resentment and anxiety…In this case, by suggesting that Obama’s “role model” is Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, and that the “next thing” to be looking out for is “for Obama to take the farms,” because “that’s what Mugabe did…”
Just a note to let folks know that I will have two new books out in the next several months. First, a revised (and I mean totally revised and remixed) version of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, will be released in late August, from Soft Skull/Counterpoint. Even if you read […]
WITH IMPORTANT UPDATE — SEE BELOW Andrew Breitbart — aka The Notorious P.I.G. — took time out of his important work tracking down pictures of Anthony Weiner’s penis this week, to accuse me of libeling him on Facebook.
