This is My Fifth Blog and I am Currently eating Gummy frogs and drinking coke as I type this (oh mah gosh I love coka cola) O.o
The Question is: Why do people view people who wear black, as bad or evil? (Made the blog a little anonymous from the title :3)
As you can tell I use the word Black alot in my blog, deal with it. The thing is, I can't break down how people come up with these stereotypes. Some actually have a little tiny but of truth behind them, but in the ways people use the one about how people wear black are usually depressed? Not really. People who wear black aren't really depressed. There are the people who dress in black and be all poserific and say crap like "OMG YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND MY PAIN :'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''(" And as most of us should know all of that is bullSHIT. So why are people like me discriminated for it if there is the obvious fact of that? Just for the laugh of it? I'm never sure about anything I talk about on this blog, so I'm not sure.
So anyway, what is the real deal with the color black anyway? I can only tell you about what the problem is slightly from one point of view, the extremely religious people's point of view. They believe that anything dark/ scary looking is considered to be from hell. The people who wear black are looked at as parts of the legions of hell. And anything else in relation with that group of people. (ie: Metal and Deathcore music, certain forms of poetry, etc...) But what proof does the bible give to support that this lifestyle that I share with the misunderstood is a bad lifestyle? None at all! It's plain rediculous on how in the world we could be such a threat to them -.-'
It also gets to me how my grandparents look at black as "depressing" or especially "Unattractive." They're really just falling into the stereotypes that the "genious" america has put onto it. I've told them that I've wanted to dye my hair black before (I might not now in order to have the possibility of getting Kallie back) and I feel liek they're not completely accepting me for who I am because I take on this unique fasion that basically nobody else in my family partakes in. So I can't see why it's such a bad thing. They're old anyway and they say that they know this and they won't understand but of coarse they don't act like they know.
This is really all I have to say about it, there may be some missing things about it. Please in the comments tell me about your personality oppression if you want. seeya later -Nate
Truthfully, I believe that black represents the unknown. We as people fear what we don't understand. In the dark blackness we cannot see what is in front of us. We fear that what is in front of us could hurt us, so we have nothing to blame our fear on but the blackness.
ReplyDeleteWe don't understand death either and so we associate it with black. The realm of black is the realm of the unknown.
That is my answer to you ^_-
In my opinion, it's social conditioning. We've been conditioned to be extroverts and bright and colorful through media and such. When you wear black, it's that goes against that conditioning and people resist what they're not used to.
