Open Letter to the White Right - 2008 Election

The European American anti-racism activist Tim Wise, after the United States 2008 Midterm Election that produced the infamous TeaBag House of Representatives wrote, "An Open Letter to the White Right,On the Occasion of Your Recent, Successful Temper Tantrum". (Video)

In this article you will find the full text of Mr. Wise's letter and a video of him responding to questions regarding his letter. You will also meet the African American Cultural Traitor Allen West, the TeaBag Congressmen from Florida, responding to the letter on behalf of his constituents the Confederate Party, that drinks tea.

Tim Wise has lectured at over 600 universities and taught anti-racism technology to police, educators and other. In my opinion he was understandably pissed a at the lack of Cultural Health regarding some members of his ethnic group and their voting performance. Understandably, he did a most edifying rant, venting only as Tim can, his frustration with his fellows that every American should read and think about.

Danger

Cultural Health Alert

If you are culturally sensitive do not proceed beyond this point

Let's Go to the Video Tape

It is good to see Mr. Wise rise after the long night of November second. It is unfortunate to see the Sleeping Giant, Mr. West, still sleep at the cultural switch in broad daylight.

Note: PLEASE RE-READ THE TITLE OF THIS ESSAY BEFORE GOING FURTHER. NOTICE, IT IS AIMED AT THE WHITE RIGHT. NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE. ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS ESSAY IS “ANTI-WHITE PEOPLE,” AS OPPOSED TO THAT SEGMENT OF THE EUROPEAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY THAT IS RIGHT WING, CANNOT READ PLAIN ENGLISH. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.

These are the opening remarks of Tim's letter. I can just imagine him sitting there, in the early hours of the morning looking at his TV and watching the map on the screen turning red. As an African American watching the same TV, this was not a good day. I must admit it did not occur to me at the time to call or email Tim, a fellow American who has worked long and hard to improve our National cultural Health, and ask him how he felt. Reading this letter was important because it enabled me to feel what Tim felt.

For all y’all rich folks, enjoy that champagne, or whatever fancy ass Scotch you drink.

And for y’all a bit lower on the economic scale, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon, or whatever shitty ass beer you favor.

Whatever the case, and whatever your economic station, know this…

You need to drink up.

And quickly.

And heavily.

Because your time is limited.

Real damned limited.

So party while you can, but mind the increasingly loud clock ticking away in the corners of your consciousness.

The clock that reminds you how little time you and yours have left.

Not much more now.

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

Tick.

Tock.

The letter in full can be found here.

This is one of those important letters you need to make time to share.
