Have you ever wonder why everything the world deems to be bad is colorized black? Why has the color black gotten so much beat down from it's conception to creation? Who created these "black words" and why are these words associated with everything bad? Was the creator of these words racist? I really have to ask such questions because when you look at words associated with the color white, it is all glamor and glitter. So what are these bad black words which I speak of? Let us take a look.
