Why is it that black or dark colors have a negative connotation behind it? For example “Blackmail” is corresponding with an illicit crime. To blackmail someone by definition is to hold someone hostage by threatening to expose unwanted information to the public that would reveal something unknown about that person. Think about it. When discussing dark colors in America or in almost any culture it is usually frightening or could be considered a form of some type of malicious act. In the eyes of American society the bigger and darker a black male is the more substandard he is and if that male has been to jail or is in jail he seemingly becomes a threat to the general society.
