Whiteness, which is a barrier to racial equality, is a dangerous condition. \u201cwhite\u201d People are extremely sensitive. There are many hidden clues. There are many that can be overlooked by academia-racists. Even white paint is suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any racist implications for the many worldwide uses of titanium dioxide (TiO2) Has the pigment derived from it \u2014 titanium white \u2014 contributed to white supremacy? Does the widespread use of titanium white signify oppressive Western ideology<\/p>\n<p>Grant-seeking academics in a West that is declining are attracted to whiteness studies. Norway funds an audit of its role in white privilege&#8217;s spread, since TiO2 was developed in Norway by two Norwegian chemists back in 1910.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Bergen has received 12 million Norwegian Krone from the Research Council of Norway (or about $1.2 million). \u201cinvestigate\u201d The baneful \u201cplanetary consequences\u201d Use white paint Entitled \u201cHow Norway Made the World Whiter (NorWhite),\u201d The claim for public funding is made by the project: \u201cWhiteness is one of today\u2019s key societal and political concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A sister project is funded by $288,000 additional from the Norwegian Artistic Research Program. \u201cThe Materiality of White (MoW).\u201d This postmodern grift contemplates whiteness in concrete, the solid stuff. \u201cThe aim of the project is to highlight TiO2\u2019s materiality and ubiquity, and to contribute to critical thinking on the color white and its mineral origin.\u201d MoW asks a decisive question \u201cDo we need our world to be more white?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was the answer that was incorporated into the initial grant applications. This joint \u201ctheoretical and critical reflection\u201d TiO2 points point in one direction: toward the stigmatization \u201cwhite\u201d people \u2014 of whatever ethnicity \u2014 by other means. This project is an accredited version the ancient practice branding. The \u201cproblem\u201d of whiteness is academia\u2019s variant of the mark of Cain, a stain on the flesh.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid Halland, chief investigator and fundraiser, stated this in an interview with Morgenbladet. \u201cWe are not claiming Norway has launched racist attitudes.\u201d It is not. It is not. \u201cpolitics of whiteness\u201d They are so deeply embedded in a system of power dynamics that they do not require any visible racism.<\/p>\n<p>The NorWhite study is a corrosive m\u00e9lange of leading questions, buzzwords, and innuendo that implies what it does not openly claim. It is simply a study. \u201cexamines\u201d how titanium white pigment \u2014 \u201ca superior color\u201d \u2014 \u201cled to an aesthetic desire for white surfaces, but was also connected to racist attitudes.\u201d TiO2 circulates as universally as racism. \u201cthrough our material, biologic and economic systems.\u201d It is \u201cvirtually present in all techno-natural surfaces globally.\u201d Hint, hint: White is both agent as well as expression of colonization.<\/p>\n<p>Norway is ideally situated to make this hereditary scapegoat. Nearly half of Norway\u2019s land mass lies above the Arctic Circle, where chilly whiteness prevails. That is what Indigenous Norwegians are all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has white paint contributed to white supremacy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1222,"featured_media":1840665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[14852,4903,3765],"class_list":["post-1840662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-paint","tag-racist","tag-white"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1840662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1222"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1840662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1840662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1840665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1840662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1840662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1840662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
