Donald Trump (Credit: AP/Charlie Neibergall) Anti-racism activist, author and scholar Tim Wise joined me recently for a conversation on this week’s edition of “The Chauncey DeVega Show.” Tim Wise is the author of numerous books including his most recent, “Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America.” He is also the subject of a great new documentary called “White Like Me.” In our conversation, Wise shared his insights about white identity politics, the resurgence of “white nationalism” as something “respectable” under Trump’s regime, questions of empathy (or not) for Trump’s “white working class” voters and the white backlash to Barack Obama. Wise also made the following observation about the so-called “white working class,” the depths of despair in red state America, and Trump’s public: One of the most highly correlated factors with Trump support, on a county-by-county basis, is the level of opiate addiction. In a sense, Trump is the perfect candidate.
