Black: what is black?

in story •  8 years ago 

Black:
With "black Friday" being flogged to great fanfare I'd just point out that words are used with specificity in their determined and intended meaning.
I consider black is a colour too a void and beyond my fancy penguine costume little of the cloths I wear are black. The dictionary backs up my trepidation.

Black
: dirty, soiled
: characterized by the absence of light
: reflecting or transmitting little or no light
: thoroughly sinister or evil
: wicked
: indicative of condemnation or discredit
: connected with or invoking the supernatural and especially the devil
: very sad, gloomy, or calamitous
: marked by the occurrence of disaster
: characterized by hostility, angry discontent
: sullen

of propaganda
: conducted so as to appear to originate within an enemy country and designed to weaken enemy morale
: characterized by or connected with the use of black propaganda
: characterized by grim, distorted, or grotesque satire
: of or relating to covert intelligence operations

It is why force and the fable of authority is cloaked in the black. To hide, what is truth.
