White Like Me

Outstanding, insightful look at being white - as opposed to being black – in modern America.

An exceptionally eye-opening discussion of what it means to be white in a white society, run by whites, for whites. Plus how easy it is for whites to be oblivious to all the obvious advantages and more subconscious perks and less well-known benefits that come from being part of this group.

This film is not a rant or a scold.

Instead, it is an even-handed, almost scientific discussion of how American society behaves and operates.

It is simultaneously fascinating in its little-known details and sobering in its conclusions.

Many kudos to Tim Wise, the filmmaker and educator, for this compelling, terrifically cogent gem.
