Black vs. dark . . .
I find myself in a vocab
quandary. Been reading
a fun trilogy that uses the
word black negatively.
Throughout the read, I kept
thinking to myself, "Why
doesn't the author use the
word dark rather than black?"
Black is beautiful! It's an
amazing color, my fave
actually! And, it's the only
color I wear. To say naught
about all my black friends.
Then, I start thinking about
the word dark. Dark is also
an amazing word. If you don't
believe me, just step outside
on the star-ridden night of the
full moon! Wow! Just WOW!
I like the dark of the moon,
first night of the blue moon.
I love dark chocolate! I even
enjoy the odd dark thought.
Sooooo, not sure where to go
from here. Guess both words
have their positive or negative
connotations according to use.
My apologies to the author . . .
p.s. I still love black!
