Now, we know that colors can be used symbolically. For example, red may represent passion or anger. Blue might signify tranquility, relaxation, or a down mood. The color black may signify that ‘we are in the dark about something, ignorance, evil (he/she has a black heart), and sin (instead of walking in the light we live in the shadows, we have dark thoughts). Black may also elicit thoughts of criminality in that many crimes are committed under the cover of night. It is not transparent and, therefore, hides that which might hurt us. Forgive me. They created the language and the book to which I am referring. The color black can also represent matter (a black hole) or if you will - the body/earth. Regrettably, because of linguistics, laziness of thought or psychological bent, many people who are not black associate those who are, as being sketchy. Sickening to say the least.
But anyone rational and experienced knows that the color of a person’s skin does not make that person ignorant, evil, unworthy, criminal, or lacking in character. The same as the color of a person’s skin does not make a person intelligent, righteous or law abiding. To judge someone based on skin color, comes from a superficial ‘my kind is better than your kind’ perspective rooted in self-love and vanity. Racism may also derive, as previously stated, from beliefs about naturally occurring phenomena wrongly transferred to people of color. Human, because of frailties, create racist stereotypes. Certainly, all people can be enlightened, intelligent, and creative. It is insane to think otherwise.
