RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/17/18> Black sheep, blacklisted, black balled… why is black almost always the adjective describing something bad?

in #dailydose6 years ago

Too true. Black has an association with night, cold and dark, but it's also cocoa beans, coffee and the little black dress. It's just daft people who take it to extremes. In the 1980s the Sun newspaper (a UK tabloid) reported that black people in London were getting angry about the use of the term "black bin liners". They weren't. It was just journalists trying to stir up race trouble.

Sort:  

Imagine that, a reporter trying to stir up race trouble, that is almost unbelievable. :)

haha yeah
