Jon, in the US 'black board' went from black to green before it went to white.
Azizi, I have no doubt that you are more sensitized to coded language than I am but there are some phrases and images that I consider positive beyond dispute:
Black hair= raven's wing Black velvety sky Black cat = wise, knowing
And lots more, actually.
"Historically, widows and widowers were expected to wear black for a year after the death of their spouses." Azizi post
What about white? In some countries and cultures white is the color of mourning.
