the dualism between black and white as representing evil and good, concepts that have been around since the dawn of civilizations, long before racial divides even existed between humans. Momma Said Nothing Good Ever Happens After Midnight!

The terms actually come from westerns, the guy wearing the black hat was the bad guy, and the good cowboy usually wore the white hat.

I was going to write DUH. But since your comment should be obvious to most Freepers but probably isnt I changed my mind,
You have it precisely right. That is the reason and the only reason for black hat - white hat.
Has anyone else heard that black licorice is about to be outlawed?

If the word ‘black’ offends someone then they are a child to be ignored.

Some times not. The 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corp of the Army of the Potomac was referred to as the “Black Hats” or the Black Hat Brigade”. Their other name was the “Iron Brigade”.

Maybe pass a law that states from now on, we will call the color white, “black,” and the color black, “white.” Even things out a little.
Or, maybe not use “white” anymore for colors. We could call what is now the color white, “Ubooka,” or something else that we make up that sounds non-western.
I dunno, just thinking out loud here, trying to help.
To: BusterDog
Elminate black and white and youre left with gray, which is very blah.

When I think of black hats I think of my instructors at airborne school at Ft. b
Benning, GA. SSG Demons, happened to be black, maybe 5’8”, really not as “mean” as he pretended to be. Good times.
