White = all colors of light and therefore encompasses every color.
Male = God where as Goddess would = Female.
White Male = God. So it is a no brainer right?

God cannot be a Black Woman. Woman would be Goddess and Black would encompass the lack of color, or no color what so ever as God is light......

Why would God being Male be an insult to women? Is there no Godess?

God is not whatever "we" want him to be, God is that which God is, and it has nothing to do with what "we want."

Why is calling God "white" racist? If he is light, the calling him "white" would be calling him all colors of the spectrum, which would be including all races....nothing but pure inclusion there....

Ha. It's funny that you think that. If women give life (i.e. give birth) than it only makes sense that the giver of all life would be a woman. However, I think the pagans and other polytheistic religions got it right first. Nature is a balance. Light and dark, male and female. So a deity would either be gender neutral or there must be several deities (both male and female).

Be careful how you define the word white. Not saying you are, but that could be taken as a racist statement.
As far as God being a white male, you must first question as to whether or not there really is a god. If you do believe this, then the choice is up to you.
Personally I do not believe in a higher power, so I do not necessarily know the answer to your question. I do believe though, that if there was a god, that no one, but the deceased, would now his/her color.
All the supposing of what race and sex God is, is just guessing. No one knows, and as far as I'm concerned its not really important. If there is a heaven as described in the Bible, race will make no difference.
Who knows? Maybe your God is not even in the form of a human.

Sorry, your wrong. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavens and there is neither male nor female. They are spirit creatures and as such don't have human bodies.
However in the scriptures he is not portrayed as white.
Many scriptures portray him as copper colored. So I guess he is the color of a penny.
Revelation !:14 Says his hair is white as wool. His eyes are a firey flame so they are red. His feet are copper. His voice must be deep it is the sound of many waters. I guess it was Daniel or somewhere he is described as copper colored. White hair and beard. To picture an aged man. Symbolic of wisdom.
But this discription is symbolic since he is invisible.
Rev.19:15 Says out of his mouth is a sword. Doubt that's real?

Well God himself isn't a person. Neither is the Holy Spirit.
However, when Jesus was on earth, he was Jewish(from the middle east)...so he would have been whatever color they are.
But to the question of gender, "God The FATHER", the word fathre infers male.

No, God is a big black female with an attitude.
The white male God figure came about several centuries ago when male dominated societies replaced all the female dominated societies. But before that, God was univerally a woman and black.

White in skin isnt all the colours of the spectrum am afraid..
God has not been seen by anyone..
any ol description you make with the eyes of a mortal who sees barely anything between the red and ultraviolet spectrum...will not be enough to decribe the Creator whose creations we barely understand.

I think God is perceived as a white male by Caucasians, black by blacks and so on....I have no problem assuming he is male...but I really think there is no way to attribute human characteristics to Him at all....and No, God was not Jewish, Jesus was.....

No one is alive today when Moses was alleged to have seen God so I don't think anyone knows for sure.

God is none of what you are saying cause he is a spirit and can be and pose as anything he wants to be.
