 White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White is commonly the colour of snow and ice, though these often have a blue tint, even when not contaminated with other things that may change their color.
White is often associated with Conservatism (as opposed to Communism), particularly in the years following World War I, with civil wars fought between "Reds" and "Whites", for instance the Civil War in Russia and the Civil War in Finland.
Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility is reduced and surface definition lost in snowy environments.

 Encyclopedia: White House
The White House is a white-painted, neoclassical sandstone mansion located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. As the office of the U.S. President, the term "White House" is often used as a metonym for the president's administration.
The White House was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 19, 1960.
Enraged Whig Party members rioted outside the White House in what was (and still is, as of 2005) the most violent demonstration on White House grounds in U.S. history.

 White (people) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many recent studies in genetics and molecular anthropology have shown that there is a surprisingly small degree of genetic overlap between members of the U.S. Black endogamous group and the U.S. White endogamous group.
The broad usage of "White" is sometimes criticized by those who argue that it de-ethnicizes various groups, although the same charge is not leveled at the question of ethnic diversity within blacks.
By the 18th century, "White" had begun shifting in meaning and started showing signs of becoming an exclusive label.

 White Sands National Monument (National Park Service)
White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this gypsum dune field, along with the plants and animals that have successfully adapted to this constantly changing environment.
Due to missile testing on the adjacent White Sands Missile Range, it is occasionally necessary, for visitor safety, to close the Dunes Drive for periods of up to three hours.
Only a few species of plants grow rapidly enough to survive burial by moving dunes, but several types of small animals have evolved a white coloration that camouflages them in the gypsum sand.

 White Dwarfs - Introduction
A white dwarf's helium and hydrogen outer layers are thin, and are essentially transparent to the X-rays that are emitted by the much hotter inner layers.
This leaves behind a white dwarf surrounded by an expanding shell of gas in an object known as planetary nebula.
Because it takes billions of years for white dwarfs to cool, we don't think the universe is old enough yet for many, if any, white dwarfs to have become black dwarfs.

 White Revolution
And, make no mistake; not only did more Whites go to North Africa as slaves than blacks to North America, the Whites in North Africa were treated far, far worse, and had a greater death rate, than the relatively benign form of slavery that existed in colonial America and the Antebellum South.
Likewise, Whites today don’t bitch and moan and make demands, and excuse failure, because of the Barbary Coast experience, unlike Africanus Domesticus in our midst.
Blacks in the new world had liberal White abolitionists working for their freedom, as well as the Underground Railroad.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: White Fathers
The costume of the missionaries resembles the white robes of the Algerian Arabs and consists of a cassock or gandoura, and a mantle or burnous.
The White Fathers succeeded in establishing small missions among the Berbers of Jurjura (Algeria), there being at present nine hundred and sixty-two Christians; but the regions bordering on the great lakes and Soudan show the best results.
The famine of 1867 left a large number of Arab orphans, and the education and Christian instruction of these children was the occasion of the founding of the society; but from its inception the founder had in mind the conversion of the Arabs and negroes of Central Africa.
