Has white paint contributed to white supremacy?
The identity politics industry is on the qui vive to discover symptoms of racism unrecognized until now. Whiteness, a barrier to racial justice, is a malign condition to which “white” people are peculiarly susceptible. Hidden clues are everywhere. None are too absurd to go unexamined by race-stalkers in academia. Even white paint is suspect.
Are there racist implications to the many global uses of the chemical compound titanium dioxide (TiO2)? Has the pigment derived from it — titanium white — contributed to white supremacy? Is the universal prevalence of titanium white a signifier of oppressive Western ideology?
Whiteness studies are a gravy train for grant-seeking academics throughout a declining West. Since TiO2 and titanium white were developed by two Norwegian chemists in the 1910s, Norway is funding an audit of its own role in the spread of white privilege.
The Research Council of Norway has granted 12 million Norwegian Krone (about $1.2 million) to the University of Bergen to “investigate” the baneful “planetary consequences” of white paint. Entitled “How Norway Made the World Whiter (NorWhite),” the project states its claim on public funding: “Whiteness is one of today’s key societal and political concerns.”
An additional $288,000 from the Norwegian Artistic Research Program goes to Oslo National Academy of the Arts for a sister project: “The Materiality of White (MoW).” This postmodern grift ponders whiteness in the concrete, the solid stuff of it: “The aim of the project is to highlight TiO2’s materiality and ubiquity, and to contribute to critical thinking on the color white and its mineral origin.” MoW asks the decisive question: “Do we need our world to be more white?”
The answer was baked into the initial grant applications. This joint “theoretical and critical reflection” on TiO2 points in one direction: to the stigmatization of “white” people — of whatever ethnicity — by other means. The project is an accredited version of the ancient practice of branding. The “problem” of whiteness is academia’s variant of the mark of Cain, a stain on...

All you have to do when some lib or negro starts uttering such crap is to inform them that white paint is actually black, and black paint is actually white. How? What looks like white paint is reflecting all the white light toward your eyes. What remains on the surface is actually black. And black paint is reflecting no colors, so the surface is actually white. Let them sputter for awhile as their brain (such as it is) overheats.
I think the appropriate response when some idiot says these things is to call them a racist (because they are) and tell them if they really believe such ignorant bulls hit they should make the world a better place by killing themselves.
Talking physics to those types of people takes more energy than you have. Without a catalyst it's pointless.
Then Snow is also racist. Ever notice how Snow is always White?
That's all the proof you need.
Send in a BLM terror swaud the next time it snows!
Ranting about white supremacy is hate speech.
How do they explain white semen...
Potholes are racist. Potholes occur most often in black roadways. Potholes are defects. Ergo, potholes show defects in blackness. And dats wayciss
Are all of these idiots calling white paint racist going to pass a law in state or federal government to ban it and force some other color on all of those places that are currently painted white. They'll probably demand a color change to pink to remind that the place used to be white.
What a bunch of morons. Is morons hate speech? Good.
