YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP 7/18/2019

Let's go to science in an attempt to explain whiteness to people:

White. ... White is the lightest color and is achromatic (having no hue). It is the color of fresh snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light. White on television and computer screens is created by a mixture of red, blue and green light.

A further explanation of achromatic is needed:

achromatic

[ ak-ruh-mat-ik, ey-kruh- ]

adjective

Optics.

1. free from color.
2. able to emit, transmit, or receive light without separating it into colors.

Biology. (of a cell structure) difficult to stain.

Music. without accidentals or changes in key.

It is important to glean 2 major points from these definitions. They are: Having no hue - free from color, i.e. it can be argued that WHITE is actually the ABSENCE of color.

Please explain this to U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) who defended President Trump's recent racist tweets by saying: "You know, they talk about people of color. I'm a person of color. I'm white. I'm an Anglo Saxon. People say things all the time, but I don't get offended,"
