Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) established a triadic theory of sign where the Representamen (the signifier), relates to both the Interpretant (the signified) and the Object (the referent). Peirce added that the Object can be an Immediate Object, the object as it is represented by the sign, or a Dynamic Object, the object independent of the sign which leads to the production of the sign. THIS IS BEING BLACK, THIS IS BEING WHITE effectively questions the actual existence of a Black or White racial identity, or what Peirce could rightfully term either the “Immediate Object” or the "Dynamic Object" of the sign. (What is “Blackness” or "Whiteness?”) The Representamen, a moving image of a Black or White individual or the living individuals themselves, may lead to the creation of an Interpretant, the concept of a Black or White identity, but can not point to Objects, actual people, that embody this complete identity type.
