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.
