"But I'm curious if other people were raised with the image of the devil as the color black?"

I don't believe it's a current thing, but dates from medieval times. Too bad I don't read Italian, because the guy in this photo of a painting is an example of the type of image I was talking about. The 'black' isn't the brown color of a human being. It's black, like cast iron, as in a pot or kettle.

I'm only speculating, but I think black was associated with evil because it's the complete absence of light, and light is usually seen as Good.

When I grew up, 'black' was a racist thing to call people, because you were essentially saying they were evil because they were dark-skinned.

The meanings of words change though, and people have accepted being called 'black'. I don't have a problem with that, but, some people now object to the use of the word according to its earlier meaning. I DID once have a big argument with a guy once who thought 'black mood', 'black sheep', 'black heart', 'black magic' were all racist uses of the word because he didn't accept they came first and had nothing at all to do with race. Of course, he also insisted the Smurfs were teaching kids devil-worship.
