White Like Me

In class we watched a movie “White Like Me. IT went to show how certain races in America are not taken as seriously as other. In the Movie the main point is that whites don’t have to worry about if they will have to go through racial actives throughout the day. Blacks have to deal with the question “what is it like to be white?” Personally that has never been a concern for me and I am friends with many african americans and people of different races. Tim Wise is the main role in this film and he explores how racial identity and witness influence the lives of white Americans, by examining how it has impacted his own live. 

Wise told his own personal story of how when he was growing up he went to an only black middle school and he was only one of three students. By the time he got to high school most of his friends were black and he started to realize how the teachers started to treat his black friends. 

Wise always ignored the advantages that he had until he was at a rally and a black person asked him what has done to try and help racism in the United States and then he started to realize that blacks thought what it was like to be white and it upset him so he started to try show the world how the blacks feel.
