White... the Adjective vs the Noun


I got in a discussion about White America... where White is taken as an adjective and "White America" is taken, in total, as a noun..

Probably didn't explain it, as well as I should of..

We don't say " Yellow China", or " Brown India", or "Arian Germany" for US that would be redundant..
But we do say......
"White America" why do we say that?.......When in our minds it is redundant..
Because that's how we think of it.. America is "White America"....There's is no dispute on that.....Even Black folks think it's "White America". They may disagree with it... only because they think it.

I find the irony in words... We certainly may be better off calling it Rainbow America ..but that's not to be..... THE irony is that "WHITE" is the combination of all colors... So White America COULD be appropriate if we thought of it that way....But then, so could BLACK America.. As Black America COULD be also seen as the absence of color.

Either way works for me..... but it certainly doesn't work for 'You folks"

How do we change it?

Of course, some folk don't even know what's got to be changed it.. because in their entire life they have accepted it.

How do we change someone's idea that Trump doesn't lie.. when everything he says is a lie? How do we change someone's mind when through their entire life.. they have NOT been able to accept the truth.

    Quoting  :

My gosh.... Do you people have any sense whatsoever?

Can't you read?.... of course, it seems I have to get lengthy to explain everything, as you folks don't understand anything.....Absence of color or total light absorbsion doesn't matter. It's still black and white...
The irony is Black and White, are not what they are.. they are what you think they are.. It's even more ironic that you or ET prove my point..by trying to prove your own.
That Black or White.. has to either be "all or nothing". ....
When in the real black and white case.....all is nothing and nothing is all
Couldn't explain my blog any better .. than your two ???? have..

In the case of "RED" China it's is adjective

An adjective separate the noun into parts..

"Red" China......connotes Communist China...there is still another China that is not communist.. Although people may not seems to realize it. and think Red China is China......They think the same about White America

White America ,... should separate America.. but it doesn't!

In the minds of the all or nothing......"White" America is America... or is NOT America.
Take your choice...
