no mistake, no ethnic considerations in this regard: I do not leave you longer in darkness, the subject is of interest to us here at the word "black." Adjective or common noun, the word black is not so clear (ha ha) you might think ... Indeed, if in our inherited language of the Roman era, we have only one adjective to describe this color, which also features a physical point of view by an absence of color, it is not the same in all languages.
Thus, in Latin, there are 2 kinds of black: Niger (brilliant) and ater (matte), and even pullus for pulling color black. But our point grade in the black, black is black (I'll let you complete the tune of the famous song ...).
And how about the black, not to mention the symbolism of colors? I do not teach you anything by telling you that black is a negative connotation for centuries (grief, sadness, fear, death, demonic forces ...).
But it seems only a short time, the symbolic ... and evolving as we begin to associate the idea of luxury and performance to black. In short, we move from negative to positive ... prescient for the U.S. elections?
