In yet another of the year’s intellectually embarrassing events, a book called A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint has won a National Book Award for nonfiction.
“White paint,” argues authoress and Columbia University Professor Wendy Walters, is too pure and too clean. And that, of course, means it is racist and white supremacist.
The screed reflects many of the winners of this year’s award, all which seem to be a cri du coeur about the white Christian man’s oppression of everyone around him. And Walter’s argument is rather akin to the claim from Rutgers University Professor Brittney Cooper that the white man stole time from the black man to oppress him.
The Book
Scribner / Simon & Schuster published Walters’ preposterous proposition. “It’s hard to identify a material that takes up more sensory space and has received less critical examination than white paint,” the company’s note says.

...and I wonder how many taxpayer dollars have supported this authoress thus far in her journey to the top of whatever particular rarefied academic hill or mountain she currently occupies?
But, then again, what do I know? I went after STEM degrees, and I’ve never really used them, either.
Rule number zero — Nothing a leftist says can be taken at face value. Ever.
This is NOT stupidity. It is an agenda.
The list of things dubbed racist by the Left keeps getting longer and longer:
Calisthenics
Camping
Chicken and waffles
Classical music
“Cotton-picking” (expession)
Credit lines
Dr. Seuss
Fireworks
Football
Geology
Golf
“Good morning!” (greeting)
Hiking
Mathematics
Mickey Mouse
Mike (first name)
Milk
Niceness
Organizing your pantry
Politeness
Punctuality
Running
Scuba diving
Setting an agenda
Skydiving
Swimming
Tennis
Texas Roadhouse (restaurant)
Thanksgiving (holiday)
Unpolished fingernails on women
Watermelons
Weight control
Yard work
In my day it was white chalk on black blackboards.
EEK That ruined me.
I was wondering how long it would take classical music to mak the list but opera should have been there first. And ballet.
Isaiah 1:18 (ESV)
Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
