Hey, I ain't followed this thread since I'z been too busy movin' and stuff but I just checked it out and read Mizi Azizi's thread above about the way Anglo Saxon's have used langiage to put so much negativity on the word black...

I gotta a different take on it...

First of all, as an art major, black is not a color so when it comes to the color'eds, that would more likely apply to caucasions!!! White is a mixture of all the basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet... If you were to take these basic colrs and make a wheel with equal parts of each as slices like in a pie and spin it real fast guess what... It would turn white, 'er very close to it...

So to my white catters, how's it feel to discover that you is the colored folks???

Nevermind...

But lets take abother look at black and they way that Anglo Saxtons have messed it all up... Yeah, granted, they have done eveything in theior power to cover their guilt by attaching as much negative associations with it but lets just look at life fir a second...

Daylight is the time when most humans go out and get all stressed, fight wars, make stupid decisions and the night time is like a respite, where we take time to refresh our bodies...

Yeah, I love the darkness and the absence of color as much as the daylight and the stress and the color... Darkness isn't scarey....

No, quite the opposite... It represents a time of refreshment... A time of rejuvination... A time to let today's disappointments turn into yet another time of hope...


Sure, this may seem to be very threatenin' to lots og Anglo-Saxons because then they might have to face the reality atht "black" has gotten a bad rap and if so, why???

Tough questions here...
