Is white paint racist? Norway’s University of Bergen is exploring that question, asking how the aesthetic of white paint helped the nation contribute to white supremacy and helped “[make] the world whiter.”
“Whiteness is not only a cultural and societal condition tied to skin color, privileges, and systematic exclusion, but materialize everywhere around us,” a rundown of the study read.
“Although Norway is not a conventional colonial power, this project will show how the country has played a globally leading role in establishing white as a superior color,” it said. “Until now, however, this story has been lesser known to scholars and the public.”
The study on whiteness and paint, dubbed NorWhite, observes the Norwegian-developed paint pigment titanium white through “historical, aesthetic, and critical” lenses to determine how the development of the color contributed to “social transformation” as well as how the innovation led to “planetary consequences.” more. h/t SNS
Is white paint racist?
Absolutely.
Everything is racist.
Everything.
The challenge is in finding the link between the object and the racism.
This NorWhite analysis shows how deeply you need to reach to extract that link. You sometimes need a very perceptive imagination. They did good. Impressive.
Next: Are stars racist? Yes…
Is paint racist? No. Is everyone who focuses on whiteness and tries to be a rabble rouser racist? Yes.
White paint? Ban it. Paint everything black, including my house.
FFS! Too much time on their hands I see…

It’s a snow covered country this time of year isn’t it?
snow is racist, we need a shitload mo pollution so we can have black snow fo eekwality and shit.
I guess imbecility isn’t a strictly North American phenomenon.
How can white people, a definite minority of Earth’s population, be considered “supreme” by the not-so-white majority?
Maybe that’s what the racist “investigators” need to be looking into.
Some examples: discovery, innovation, “creativity,” patents, engineering, agricultural achievements, industrial planning and production, strides toward political freedom and liberty, philosophy, art, science in general, development of luxuries and comforts, glass, air conditioning, plumbing, and other useful crafts.
But, no. Try to discern the racism of the inanimate.
All Bullshit; All the Time. This IS Academia – try to hide the obvious and extol the propagandistic.

The Woke Improvement Center will have a colored paints only section.
I took a dump.
It was chocolatey-brown colored.
Racist or non-racist?
Only the Norwegians know for sure!
Only if it’s the same color as pancake syrup.
Easy. When a wall is covered in white paint, does it spell out nigger? If not, it’s not racist. If it does, the person who rolled it out might be a racist, not the paint. I’ll take that research money, thanks.
can we just give all the self loathing, suicidal white people some fentanyl or something to get them on their way? the world would a much better place without them.
What do you expect? Same country that has embraced diversity and are slowly paying the price. Not to mention, they munch on shit like lutefisk and rakfisk.
If White Supremacy is what they’re PAYING us to find, the White Supremacy is what they’ll GET!
ontoiran: Isn’t fentanyl white? Coincidence? I think not.
If you mix red, green, and blue, you get white paint. Red, blue and yellow are the three primary colors for what colors make black paint when mixed together. Has nothing to do with skin color. Looks like the Norwegians are the racists and taxpayer money thrown away. It’s getting harder and harder to be mentally sane to keep up with the insane.
So, when’s the White House going to be painted red to honor the Chinks who own joey or rainbow colors for all the gays and freaks who work for joey. How about brown since all joey and democraps do is to constantly take a great big dump on the American people. Yellow would be appropriate as well since they’re pissing all over us on a daily basis.
(to the tune of “Let It Go”)
The paint glows white on the walls tonight
Not a Black dot to be seen
A wall of only Whiteness
I’ll pretend like it is mean
I’ll get hate is howling like this swirling storm outside
Gonna stir some shit, gonna claim White Pride
Don’t want no peace, don’t want no truth,
Fan the flames till they burst through the roof
I’m getting paid to make them hate,
Well, now they hate
Won’t let go, won’t let go
Fueling hatred buys my beer
Won’t let go, won’t let go
It’s not like they’ll riot here
I don’t care what BLM burns down
Let the fire rage on
Not like there’s Black people in MY town.
-song of the Norwegian race grant getter
Blaming white paint is pigment shaming.
…somebody posted the other day that if you use any search engine and type in. “How is (noun) racist”, it will take you to a study somewhere that claims racism in literally ANYTHING.
For example, I typed “Are thermometers racist?” and got back this…
“Temporal thermometers gained popularity during the last two years, yet the global pandemic wasn’t the first time that a medical tool important for evaluating Covid-19 patients has been found less effective as it should in Black patients.
According to CNN, other studies have found that pulse oximeters – small devices that clamp onto a finger to monitor oxygen levels in the blood – may also yield inaccurate readings among people of color.
Black people have been unfairly treated by American medical institutions for generations”

…This from the definitely-not-racist-at-all “Black Wall Street Times”.
…If you WANT to see hate, you can.
But just remember the people selling you hate are the ones profiting from it.
Looks like loonie is caused by the Covid jab. They’re everywhere and spreading.
So isn’t black abd brown paint racist?
…so where does this leave us with tar?
