	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Color metaphors for race (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In some societies, color metaphors for race, often originating from differences in human skin color, are used in racial classifications.
		In the West, particularly the United States, the primary color metaphor for race is the classification of persons of African ancestry as "fl" and persons of European ancestry as "white".
		The terms negro, colored, and Negroid also served as color metaphors (except in some places, such as South Africa, where coloured people were those of mixed racial descent).

	Race & Ethnicity: West: Toward a Theory of Racism
		Debs believed that white racism against peoples of color was solely a "divide-and-conquer strategy" of the ruling class and that any attention to its operations "apart from the general labor problem" would constitute racism in reverse.
		The ramifications of the court decision and legislation affected all peoples of color (and white women) but had the greatest impact on those able to move up the social ladder primarily by means of education.
		Poor women and children are disproportionately people of color, and jobs in the "rust belt" industries of auto and steel played a major role in fl social mobility in the postwar period.

		In the vegetable kingdom the colors are not the cause of discord.
		Rather, colors are the cause of the adornment of the garden because a single color has no appeal; but when you observe many colored flowers, there is charm and display.

	Gender Matters
		Race: A way of classifying people developed to ascribe personal and group characteristics on the basis of phenotype and/or bloodline (rule of hypo-descent).
		One’s “racial” classification is not clearly manifest at the genetic level and while contemporary biological and anthropological evidence has debunked the myth that race is related to intelligence or “moral character” as was earlier claimed, race persists as a sociohistorical artifact unifying groups of people through a shared history of oppression and/or privilege.
		Sticky Floor: This metaphor serves as a parallel to the glass ceiling and draws attention to the disproportionate concentration of women in low-level organizational positions, and their relative difficulty in moving out of these positions compared to their male counterparts.

	AN INTERPRETIVE STUDY OF VISUAL CUES IN ADVERTISING
		Metaphoric meaning is deemed more complex because the substitution and generalization process of metaphors makes more demands on the receiver than the referential process of iconographic meaning.
		Metaphoric analysis is important because symbolic imagery is such an important meaning carrier in advertising, and particularly in television advertising.

		We don't realize that race is an idea that evolves over time, that it has a history, that it is constructed by society to further certain political and economic goals.
		Notes on the State of Virginia was not about race, but among Jefferson's descriptions of rivers and seaports, mountains and climate, he expressed his views on the inhabitants of the new land-people from America, Europe and Africa.
		But race, a story first told to rationalize deep social divisions in a society that proclaimed its belief in equality, would be carried forward into the 20th century and beyond.

		In the Maasai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania, the color fl is associated with rain clouds, becoming a symbol of life and prosperity.
		The term fl is often used in the West to denote race for persons whose skin color ranges from light to darker shades of brown.
		This term is metaphorical in the extreme, because few properties of fl objects or fl voids apply to fl holes.

	Criticism.Com: Chroma Cinema: Use of Color in Films
		Color and fl-and-white can be used to differentiate fantasy or an alternate reality and fl-and-white can be used to show a different historical period or for memory or flashbacks (as in the sepia scenes in the current film Beloved), changes in states of reality, subjective reality and idealized plane of existence.
		Color is also used to convey point of view or identity in Rumble Fish, in which it arises from the subjective representation of the colorblindness of the protagonist's older brother.
		It is arguably the most emotionally powerful uses of color in a predominantly fl and white film, but the more subtle uses of color and fl-and-white together in the recent films of the 1990s are harbingers of still more sophisticated and interesting uses of color to convey inner worlds and subjective views.

		In medieval Europe, Christendom was the community, and pagans, heretics, Jews, and Muslims the outsiders, regardless of skin color.
		When the primacy of religion was eroded by the Protestant Reformation and Renaissance and Enlightenment secularism, and Europeans started to colonize lands outside Europe, the in-group signifiers shifted to concepts like white and civilized, but much of the earlier attitude remained, such as exclusion of the religiously different.
		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 fls.

		His canvasses are crammed with bubbling waves of color, tiny beings, alien geometric planes, and convoluted balls of energy.
		Materials, stroke, colors, texture, all may vary wildy within the body of work (and in some cases within a particular piece) but cannot escape the comfortable and safe containment of the "frame".
		But it is painfully evident that permeating his rotisserie of difficult and demented content is an earnest desire for Treiops Treyfid to create distinctive works of art with a high quality that is singular, provacative, and non era specific.

		Racially speaking, a "half-blood" could be a person with parents of differing races, such as one Asian parent and one white parent; in this case, not being "pure-blood" can diminish certain rights and inclusion in the community.
		Rowling does children a favor by referring, metaphorically yet explicitly, to the hierarchies of human value that institutionalized racism conceals in the "real world." The good characters, like Harry, reject this hierarchy.
		Race is as ubiquitous in our world as magic is in Harry's, and the novels present the connections between the two quite frequently.

	A Race of Singers: Whitman's Working-Class Hero from Guthrie to Springsteen. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A Race of Singers examines the making of an explicit working-class hero, the process by which cultural workers, predominantly nationally recognized white men with leftist leanings, have consciously invoked and evoked specific Whitmanesque ideals to engage class politics.
		This itinerant folksinger transformed the working-class hero from a poet to a guitar-slinging traveler of the open road, but his redefinition failed to alleviate the contradictions that were deeply embedded in the concept of heroism.
		What follows, then, is the history of a race of singers who have expressed boundless optimism in the heroic figure that Whitman first imagined in 1855.

	skin color \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		Human skin color can range from almost fl to nearly colorless (appearing pinkish white due to the blood in the skin) in different people.
		However, this is complicated by the fact that there are people with ancestors from both sunny and less sunny regions, and whose skin color may have any shade of the spectrum of possible tones.
		On a cultural level, color metaphors for race have evolved based upon genetic variations in human skin colour and changing customs or traditions of what arbitrary criteria and the amount of categories to use.

		Saying that race does not matter in that circumstance not only allows racial discrimination to continue, but also requires that we pretend a fl person, like Williams’ son, is socially raceless.
		In her second essay, “The Pantomime of Race,” Professor Williams explores how the process of pondering our differences, when exercised by whites, often turns into what she characterizes as a “fiercely co-optive [process which] degenerates into a taste for the ‘fauve’ and the ‘primitive’.
		In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, “scientific” pronouncements about race and fl inferiority in particular were used to justify slavery and to define who was white.

	The Colors Of The Human Skin
		On a cultural level, color metaphors for race have evolved based upon genetic variations in human skin color.
		The color of human skin varies from dark brown to nearly colorless, which appears pale pink due to the blood in the skin.
		In considering the color of human skin in the long span of human evolution, Jablonski and Chaplin note that there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the human ancestors six million years ago had a skin color different from the skin color of today's chimpanzeesâ”namely pale-

		Some would argue that race and sex are two issues American society has the most trouble dealing with.
		The use of race in the series has been facilitated and hampered by several factors: executive decisions in the television networks, by the limits of the sci-fi genre itself, by "intertextuality," and by the audience and fans.
		For critical analysis, the author uses Alice Jardine's concept of gynesis, a process using metaphors of the "feminine;" and new terms including thnesis and zoomorphesis.

		Skin color is determined by the amount and type of the pigment melanin in the skin.
		The evolution of the different skin colors is thought to have occurred as follows: the haired ancestors of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair.
		This can be explained by the fact that their traditional animal-based diet provides plenty of vitamin D. Albinism is a condition characterized by the absence of melanin, resulting in white skin and hair; it is caused by a genetic mutation.
