It’s funny that *they* insist anything using the word Black must be bad.

There was a Beetle Bailey (Mort Walker & Dick Browne?) comic strip from the late 1960s - early 1970s, of Lt. Flap (black) conferring on the Army chaplain that he felt the term “black” was associated with negative things.

The chaplain, meaning to console and encourage him, reeled off a list of examples where “black” was positive (e.g. being “in the black” meant being solvent, “blackberry pie is my favorite” etc.).

After all this, Lt. Flap is cheered up. The Chaplain then ends with “See, you were just in a black mood.”

Wish I could find that comic strip.

Yup, ironic. They’re idiots.
