“White like Me” The film‚ “White Like me” is presented by author Tim Wise. I believe Tim’s main purpose for this film is to explain how white privilege damages people of color more than society is lead to believe.

Journal On Movie Funny People Trevor Edwards Funny multitude Funny People‚ directed by Judd Apatow‚ was‚ to me‚ not as extraordinary as I expected ground on the title of the movie. There were definitely some funny parts‚ only when overall‚ I thought the movie was more on the earnest/drama side of writing styles rather than drollery.
