The Fire Next Time
James BaldwinTim Wise2/ I have a signed copy of James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and an old menu from a NY Italian restaurant w/ Joe DiMaggio's signature from 1951 -- people like that. Not, ya know, Hitler. Hell, I have a copy of David Duke's horrific book. But it's not signed FFS!

Foghorn Leghorn
Big Bruiser Dope BoyTim WiseI highly recommend that if you receive hate mail from racist chuds and 4Chan losers you read it out loud to yourself and others in the voice of Goofy, or some other ridiculous cartoon character. "Get in the oven, Jewboy" just doesn't hit as hard in the voice of Foghorn Leghorn.

Hamilton: The Revolution
Lin-Manuel MirandaTim WiseI hope Lin-Manuel Miranda sues this church until the tithes run dry...seriously, he's probably too forgiving to do this. But he should wreck them Texas church illegally performs 'Hamilton' with anti-LGBTQ message https://t.co/6FOWeLQtyj via @mySA

No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal: Race and Class in Elite College Admission and Campus Life
Thomas J. EspenshadeTim Wise2/ Because this is true. (See No Longer Separate, Not yet Equal, by Espenshade and Radford). Is it discrimination against Cali kids? Unfair preference for Mormons from Provo? Or Cheyenne? Of course not. The reason should be obvious. It’s the effect of sample size…

Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America
Tim WiseTim WiseIt seems like my book Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich, and Sacrificing the Future of America was written a few years too early (2015). Its core thesis has been proven many times over since with Trump and Elon, among others…

Earth: chapter 1: Water
James D. G. WhiteTim Wise1/ Yes, he took it back, but James Patterson's recent lament about how hard it is for white guys to get writing gigs was revealing. When even the most successful writer on Earth can dabble with "reverse discrimination" mythology, you know the fragility is real...
