| Topic | USC unveils campus mural that says "Dismantle Whiteness" |
| s0nicfan 04/11/18 3:48:02 PM #78: | Giant_Aspirin posted... thinking about this a bit more, i don't think the artist's definition of "whiteness" in this case matters. the language used is reactionary and counter to the intention the piece has of "starting a discussion". the very folks we need to have this discussion with are going to immediately shut down and reject the conversation when it sounds so aggressive. That's fair, although I'll disagree that a discussion "needs" to happen in the first place. It implies that the person is alluding to a very real problem and using poor terminology to explain it. Given the tradition definition of "whiteness" that I've seen (see link below), I think it's more likely that what they're implying as a problem in reality isn't one at all. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/between-the-lines/201112/the-meaning-whiteness --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
