In this episode, we air excerpts of Tim Wise’s speech “The Great White Hoax: Racism, Divide and Conquer and the Politics of Trumpism.” Tim Wise is one of the nation’s most prominent antiracist essayists and educators. “The Great White Hoax” explores the rise of Donald Trump and the way Trumpism reflects longstanding traditions of white racial resentment in America.
