Whiteout

Do you have any whiteout? I left mine at home.

A whiteout can best be described as a paradoxical combination of being partially blind, but also being able to see illusions of things. It is like floundering in a sea of cotton; everything looks blurred and white.

Despite the media whiteout, we believe our weapon flashing had communicated the important political message that the nuclear mentality and the masculine mentality are intimately connected.

The slightest reference to national security is accepted as excuse enough for a news whiteout.

What, for example, have the protagonists of the First Amendment to say about the media whiteout in the United States on the work of such a distinguished radical as Noam Chomsky?

"Who Put the Black Face on Poverty," the show asked. Well, the mainstream media "whiteout" of the story provides a clue.

While it represented a symbolic break from the “whiteout” on the US presidency, it was also, obviously, the most racialized campaign in American history.

Closer to home, I thought about how that same “whiteout” existed in U.S. scholarship on television production and viewership and their cultural flows.

We must return to a time where whiteout will no longer exist in our thinking process, and remember, black is not just a color but a totally different way of being.
