Grey.

I'm guessing you mean races, not paint, though, so ... the answer to the question depends very much on where and when, but for much of US history at least, such relationships were .... let's say "frowned upon". The fact that they happened is evident from the existence of words like "octoroon" (a person with one black great-grandparent) and from laws regarding what percentage of black ancestry was required in order for someone to be considered "black" (usually, people with 1/8 or more "black" ancestry were considered legally black, and people with less than that were considered legally white, though this varied from state to state, and in practice was often ignored anyway). Interestingly, this didn't have much to do with slavery vs. freedom; someone legally white but born to a slave mother was still a slave.

Homer Plessy was multi-ethnic and multi-cultural (Franco-American), because both of his parents had a mixture of African-American and Caucasian genes. In the 19th century, most people and all government bodies adhered to the "one-drop rule," which labeled anyone with at least one African-American ancestor black.

Louisiana, where Plessy was born and lived his entire life, informally acknowledged degrees of ethnicity because there were many freemen in the State, and the practice of intermarriage was common. By Louisiana standards, Plessy was considered an "octoroon," or someone with one-eighth black ancestry. Plessy identified with his African-American heritage, but evaluated himself as appearing white.

Homer Plessy was classified as an "Octoroon" by 19th-Century New Orleans standards, meaning he was one-eighth African in descent. Plessy had one black grandmother, a Haitian "free woman of color," named Catherine Mathieu, who married and bore eight children with Homer's French Caucasian grandfather, Germain Plessy. Homer was very light-skinned, and said his African heritage was "not discernable."

Plessy belonged to a group of New Orleans' African-American professionals, the Citizens Committee, that deliberately staged confrontations over Jim Crow laws in Louisianna. The law targeted in this case was Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890, which required separation of travelers by race. If Plessy's arrest hadn't been prearranged with the East Louisiana Railroad Company, he probably wouldn't have been challenged for sitting in the "whites only" car.

Swing is a style of music derived from "purer" jazz, emphasizing a danceable beat and solo performances withing a broader written orchestration.

A big band is a jazz orchestra composed of anywhere from 10 to 25 musicians, with 14-18 being the usual complement.

Big bands tend to play a lot of swing because the two were almost designed for each other. Swing music is arranged for an ensemble who perform the melody while individual musicians take ad-lib solos during the piece.

Of course, the best way to understand what big band swing is, is to listen to it! Search for some of these artists and recordings:

  • Benny Goodman: Don't Be That Way; Sing, Sing, Sing; Down South Camp Meeting; Blue Skies, Clarinet a la King
  • Count Basie: One O'Clock Jump; Satin Doll; Doggin' Around
  • Tommy Dorsey: Marie; Opus One; Well, Git It!; Song of India
  • Glenn Miller: In the Mood; String of Pearls; Little Brown Jug; Sun Valley Jump
  • Duke Ellington: Take the "A" Train; Mood Indigo; Harlem Air Shaft, Black and Tan Fantasy
  • Artie Shaw: Nightmare, Begin the Beguine; Octoroon; Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise
  • Chick Webb: Stompin' at the Savoy; If Dreams Come True

You may be referring to a group of mixed-race people from Haiti. Because they were lighter skinned, they became somewhat of an elite, although the white minority from France ruled the island. The Mulattoes ultimately joined with free blacks and slaves to rise up against their white rulers and gain independence during the Haitian Revolution. (Back then, the word "mulatto" described someone with one white parent and one black parent.)

Also, the word "mulatto" was commonly used in the English language, although it is no longer used today. In the era of slavery and through the era of segregation, this word referred to someone who was part black and part white; such people were generally classified as "black" under racial laws of that era. Today, "mulatto" is considered inappropriate; people who are mixed-race are generally called "biracial."

Race is not a determinable concept. There's no specific test to determine if you're white or black or anything else. You're whatever you want to be.

Once upon a time there were all sorts of classifications based on how many "black" ancestors you had. That's all gone away, although you might run across the term "octoroon" in an old novel.

I would like to offer another answer if I may. The way the question was worded leads me to believe the person wanted to know what "RACE" is appropriate or recognized if the Father is black and the Mother is white. The question of race still appears on Birth Certificates, school entry's, college loan applications, school grants and the Census Bureau just to name a few so it is a very determinable factor. However the Standards of classifications are in the process of being revised with the public's help.

I will have to disagree with the comment "You're whatever you want to be".

You cannot pick a "race", you are who you are. People of mixed heritage as mentioned in the Standards for classification as of 1989 were able to identify themselves by the race of the Mother. Before this date the race was determined by the Father.

Classifications of race in the US can prove to be very useful for certain individuals in many different instances. The information below comes from the offices at the Whitehouse, this does not read copy written and has a printable version. This is strictly a quote from the office of Management and Budget and Information and Regulatory Affairs. The title in case you are interested in further reading is called:

"Standards for Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity"

"Since 1989, the National Center for Health Statistics has tabulated birth data according to the mother's race. The racial and ethnic categories set forth in the standard should not be interpreted as being primarily biological or genetic in reference. Race and ethnicity may be thought of in terms of social and cultural characteristics as well as ancestry. The category which most closely reflects the individuals recognition in his community should be used for purposes of reporting on persons who are of mixed racial and/or ethnic origins." There were four public hearings on this issue named Directive No, 15. in June of 1994.

This public issue remains unresolved at the moment and no changes have been documented at this time according to this briefing. It is appropriate to claim the race of the Mother or to go by how they are recognized in his or her community. Both are acceptable. I hope this helps the person who wrote in. Thank You.

Plessy v Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)

Who was Homer Plessy?

Homer Plessy was a citizen of New Orleans, Louisiana, classified as an "Octoroon" by 19th-Century standards, meaning he was one-eighth African in descent. Plessy had one black grandmother, a Haitian "free woman of color," named Catherine Mathieu, who married and bore eight children with Homer's French Caucasian grandfather, Germain Plessy. Homer was very light-skinned, and said his African heritage was "not discernible."

Plessy belonged to a group of New Orleans' African-American professionals, the Citizens Committee, that deliberately staged confrontations over Jim Crow (segregation) laws in Louisiana.

What role did Homer Plessy play in the case?

In 1890, the Louisiana State Legislature passed the Separate Car Act (Act 111), which enforced "separate but equal" travel accommodations in railway transportation. The Act stated: "...all railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this state shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and the colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations" Violation of the law was a misdemeanor crime punishable by a $25.00 fine or a 20-days jail sentence.

Daniel Desdunes, one of the leaders of the Citizens' Committee, was first to challenge the law. He purchased a first-class ticket from the Louisiana & Nashville Railroad to travel from New Orleans, LA, to Montgomery, AL, across state lines. Before his case could be tried in court, however, the Louisiana Supreme Court voted to uphold federal Interstate Commerce Clause regulations prohibiting segregation in railway transit, rendering Desdunes' case moot.

The Citizens' Committee raised $3,000 to finance a second dispute, and enlisted New York attorney Albion Tourgee, a well-known former judge and civil rights activist, to provide advice and legal counsel. Tourgee suggested the next attempt to challenge the law should be made by someone with a light complexion, a suggestion that offended some members of the Committee.

Homer Plessy was selected as an appropriate candidate to challenge the law. Plessy purchased a first-class ticket on the East Louisiana Railroad on June 7, 1982, boarded the first-class "whites only" railroad coach, and took a seat. The trip was entirely within the state of Louisiana, so the Railroad was required to follow State, rather than Federal, laws.

Because Plessy did not appear to have any African-American heritage, the Committee conspired with the East Louisiana Railroad, which wanted the Separate Car Act overturned for economic reasons, to challenge Plessy's right to sit in the segregated coach. They also hired a private detective to ride along and make a citizen's arrest, to ensure Plessy was charged with breaking the law.

When the conductor made his rounds to check tickets, he asked Plessy if he was white or "colored." Plessy replied that he was "colored." Railroad officials conspiring with the Citizens' Committee insisted Plessy remove himself to the Jim Crow car; Plessy refused; and the private detective arrested him on charges of violating the Separate Car Act.

Plessy was brought before Judge Ferguson in the Criminal District Court for the Parish of New Orleans, but refused to enter a plea. His attorneys, Tourgee and local counsel John C. Walker, argued the law was unconstitutional under the Thirteenth Amendment. Judge Ferguson found Plessy guilty and fined him $500.

Plessy's attorneys appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which affirmed the lower court decision, then to the US Supreme Court. At that point, Plessy's active role in the case was complete.

Oh, dude, like, Plessy was classified as African-American because of the infamous "one-drop rule" in the US, which meant that even a tiny bit of African ancestry was enough to label someone as black. So, like, even if Plessy was just sipping on his pumpkin spice latte, people were like, "Yep, he's black." It's like that saying, "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."

Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), was the landmark US Supreme Court case that legalized discrimination against African-Americans and gave credence to the "separate but equal" doctrine.

In 1890, the Louisiana State Legislature passed the Separate Car Act (Act 111), which enforced "separate but equal" travel accommodations in railway transportation. The Act stated: "...all railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this state shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and the colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations" Violation of the law was a misdemeanor crime punishable by a $25.00 fine or a 20-days jail sentence.

On May 24, 1890, the Louisiana legislature received a signed complaint submitted by seventeen prominent African-American professionals, entitled "Protest of the American Citizens' Equal Rights Association of Louisiana Against Class Legislation." These men and women organized the "Citizens' Committee to Test the Constitutionality of the Separate Car Law" (generally called the "Citizens' Committee") in 1891.

Daniel Desdunes, one of the group leaders, was first to challenge the law. He purchased a first-class ticket from the Louisiana & Nashville Railroad to travel from New Orleans, LA, to Montgomery, AL, across state lines. Before his case could be tried in court, however, the Louisiana Supreme Court voted in another case on May 25, 1892, Abbott v. Hicks, 44 La.Ann. 770, to uphold federal Commerce Clause regulations, rendering the Desdunes case moot.

The Citizens' Committee raised $3,000 to finance a second dispute, and enlisted New York attorney Albion Tourgee, a well-known former judge and civil rights activist, to provide advice and legal counsel. Tourgee suggested the next attempt to challenge the law should be made by someone with a light complexion, a suggestion that offended some members of the Committee.

Homer Plessy, a 30-year-old "octoroon" (he had one African-American grandparent), was selected as an appropriate candidate to challenge the law. Plessy purchased a first-class ticket on the East Louisiana Railroad on June 7, 1892, boarded the first-class "whites only" railroad coach, and took a seat.

Because Plessy did not appear to have any African-American heritage, the Committee conspired with the East Louisiana Railroad, which wanted the Separate Car Act overturned for economic reasons, to challenge Plessy's right to sit in the segregated coach. They also hired a private detective to ride along and make a citizen's arrest, to ensure Plessy was charged with breaking the law.

The railroad officials conspiring with the Citizens' Committee insisted Plessy remove himself to the Jim Crow car; Plessy refused; and the private detective arrested him on charges of violating the Separate Car Act. Plessy was brought before Judge Ferguson in the Criminal District Court for the Parish of New Orleans, but refused to enter a plea. His attorneys, Tourgee and local counsel John C. Walker, argued the law was unconstitutional under the Thirteenth Amendment. Judge Ferguson found Plessy guilty and fined him $500. Plessy appealed.

Supreme Court Decision

The case was upheld in the lower courts, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court for review in light of the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause.

In a 7-1 decision delivered by Justice Brown, the Court held that state-sanctioned segregation was constitutional, as long as the separate facilities were equal. As precedent, Brown cited both the Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883), which determined the 14th Amendment applied only to states, but not to private individuals or businesses, and the fact that Washington D.C. public schools, under the rule of federal government, was already practicing segregation in education. Justice Brown further concluded that segregation in public accommodations did not constitute discrimination, and dismissed Plessy's argument about infringement of his Thirteenth Amendment rights.

The sole dissenter, Justice John M. Harlan I, wrote:

"In my opinion, the judgment this day rendered will, in time, prove to be quite as pernicious as the decision made by this tribunal in the Dred Scott Case. It was adjudged in that case that the descendants of Africans who were imported into this country and sold as slaves were not included nor intended to be included under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and could not claim any of the rights and privileges which that instrument provided for and secured to citizens of the United States; that, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, they were "considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings, who had been subjugated by the dominant race, and, whether emancipated or not, yet remained subject to their authority, and had no rights or privileges but such as those who held the power and the government might choose to grant them."

The majority opinion gave rise to the "separate but equal" doctrine that invaded nearly every aspect of African-Americans' lives. Plessy represented the South's reaction to, and contravention of, the 13th and 14th Amendments. The Court's decision gave tacit permission to the establishment of Jim Crow laws, which violated the civil rights of African-Americans in a way not anticipated by the Constitution.

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)

Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), was the landmark US Supreme Court case that legalized discrimination against African-Americans and gave credence to the "separate but equal" doctrine. Plessy, and the Jim Crow laws that flourished in the South due to the Supreme Court legitimizing segregation, were not formally discredited until 1954, in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954). Even then, the federal government did little to dismantle segregation and other discriminatory laws until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The battle for equal treatment under the law has been long, and is still ongoing.

In order to understand the case better, it is helpful to consider it in terms of the historical and social context of the times.


Reconstruction

Following the defeat of the Confederate Army and emancipation of the slaves at the end of the Civil War, the United States government left Union troops encamped in the South to assist with the transition from slavery to freedom. The states ratified the 13th (1865), 14th (1868) and 15th (1870) Amendments during this era, which, together with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (which overturned southern "Black Codes), ended slavery, extended equal rights and protections to African-Americans, and granted African-American males the right to vote.

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 elaborated on the 1866 Act by providing that "all persons, regardless of race, color or previous condition, [was] entitled to full and equal employment of accommodation in inns, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, and other places of public amusement."

The Southern states were reluctant to obey these new mandates, so the federal government maintained a military presence in the region from 1865 until approximately 1879.


Political End to Reconstruction

The Presidential election of 1876 was a close race, but the Democratic candidate, Samuel Tilden, won the popular election by more than 200,000 votes. Unfortunately for Tilden, he received only 184 of the 185 electoral votes needed to assume the Presidency. While Republican Candidate Rutherford B. Hayes held only 165 electoral votes, 20 votes were still in dispute. With the exception of a single vote from Oregon, the majority of the undecided ballots were from the secessionist states of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida, which were governed by Reconstructionist Republicans (Hayes' party). These states returned two sets of electoral ballots - one favoring Tilden, and one favoring Hayes, so there was no clear winner.

Lacking Constitutional guidance for resolving a tied election, Congress decided to create an impartial Electoral Commission to make the decision. The Commission was intended to be ideologically balanced with five members of the House, five members of the Senate, and five members of the Supreme Court, comprising seven Democrats, seven Republicans, and one Independent.

The Independent, Supreme Court Justices David Davis decided he didn't want the pressure of being the swing vote, so, when his home state of Illinois offered him a Senate position, he accepted and resigned from the Committee. With no Independents remaining on the Supreme Court, Justice Davis was replaced by Justice Joseph Bradley, a Republican. This resulted in a Committee of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, all of whom voted down party lines, awarding the 20 disputed electoral ballots and the Presidency to Hayes. (This lead Democrats to refer to the new President as Rutherfraud B. Hayes, for what they considered his fraudulent ascension to the Presidency.)

Older historical documents refer to the outcome of the vote as the Compromise of 1877 and to the Wormley House Agreement (where Republicans and Democrats allegedly met in secret to hammer out a compromise), which supposedly resulted in Republicans agreeing to remove federal troops from the Southern States in exchange for certain political concessions. More contemporary research, however, raises some doubts about both events. Many historians now believe the decision to pull the military from the South had already been decided due to rising tensions between the military and Southerners that was threatening to erupt in violence.

President Hayes began withdrawing Union troops from the South shortly after his inauguration. Within a short period of time, Southern state and local political control reverted to the old-school southern Democrats, who began systematically establishing "Jim Crow Laws" aimed at segregating African-Americans from "white society," and restricting African-Americans' freedoms and options.


Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws prohibited African-Americans from using the same accommodations as whites, and subjected them to discrimination, overt control, and restrictions on personal liberty. The Fourteenth Amendment was designed to protect against blatant discrimination, but a series of legislative acts and US Supreme Court rulings undermined its application.

According to some historians, segregation was targeted directly at the developing African-American middle class, to prevent the perceived threat of equality that undermined certain whites' feelings of superiority. While poor African-Americans continued to relate to whites much the same as they had under slavery, middle-class African-Americans, only two generations removed from slavery at the time of Plessy v. Ferguson, had made significant advances in terms of literacy, education, property ownership, and wealth, and had reasonable expectations of being treated as peers, not subordinates. Many whites, on the other hand, believed prosperous African-Americans had "stepped out of place," and continued to view them as inferior.

Many of the Jim Crow laws were applied to situations where African-Americans demonstrated educational and economic equality - in shopping districts, travel, and in the voting booth - and were enforced unevenly, with African-Americans who were performing in the service of a white person (as a nanny, companion, or assistant) allowed greater latitude than independent, well-dressed African-Americans. New Orleans' streetcar rules, which forced African-Americans to stand behind a screen, hidden from white passengers unless working servile capacity, illustrated segregation was more about establishing a social hierarchy than ensuring separation.

Louisiana, where the Plessy case originated, had an even more complex social structure than most Southern states because many of its residents were of mixed ethnicity. Although the South adhered to the "one drop rule" (a person was classified as black even if he or she had only a single African ancestor, unless the person could "pass" for white, and chose to do so), those with lighter skin, or a higher percentage of white ancestry, had higher social status than those with little or no "white blood." Homer Plessy, the petitioner in this case, for example, was classified as an "Octoroon," a very light-skinned person who was one-eighth African-American.

Some of the legislation and rulings of the post-Reconstruction era almost completely undid the progress made immediately following the war.

The following were of particular importance to the Plessy case:

Civil Rights Cases, (1883)

Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883), was a consolidation of five cases in which African-Americans legally challenged violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which specifically mandated equal access to private accommodations, such as lodging, travel and entertainment. Among the grievances were exclusion from a hotel dining room; refusal of admission to a New York City opera; segregation to lower-quality seats in a theater; and removal from a train car set aside for white women. All of these indignities were violations of rights enumerated in the 1875 legislation.

The Supreme Court analyzed these cases in view of the Fourteenth Amendment and concluded the Amendment was not designed to apply to private citizens or private organizations, but only to the federal and state governments. This decision resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1875 being invalidated, and opened the doors to blatant discrimination by businesses and individuals.

John Marshall Harlan, who was a supporter of civil rights, was the lone voice of dissent on the Court, which ruled 8-1 against the petitioners. Harlan argued that the Thirteenth Amendment was intended to remove the badge of servitude, and that Congress had the right to legislate against the discrimination:

"I am of the opinion that such discrimination practiced by corporations and individuals in the exercise of their public or quasi-public functions is a badge of servitude the imposition of which Congress may prevent under its power, by appropriate legislation, to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment; and consequently, without reference to its enlarged power under the Fourteenth Amendment, the act of March 1, 1875, is not, in my judgment, repugnant to the Constitution."

The Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890

In 1862, Congress established the "Land-Grant College Act" (more commonly known as the First Morrill Act) which provided 30,000 acres to every state that remained in the union to sell in order to fund public land-grant colleges. Under segregation, African-Americans were not permitted to attend the whites-only schools, but the act provided that States could use some of the money to establish "separate but equal" facilities for African-Americans. Only Mississippi and Kentucky agreed; the rest used the money exclusively for white students. After emancipation, a few more states established "Normal Schools," which were like junior colleges used exclusively for teacher training.

In 1890, Congress determined to force states to distribute the land-grant money equally, and thus legislated that African-American institutions were to receive an equal amount of funding. They also required any state that did not already have a college or university for African-American students to build one. This resulted in the foundation of 16 "Black Land-Grant Institutions." Congress had positive intentions, and the Second Morrill Act, expanded African-Americans' access to higher education; but the Act also reinforced the notion that "separate but equal" was an acceptable condition under the Constitution. This was not challenged in the Supreme Court.

(Also note that this predates the Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) decision usually credited with establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine. In fact, the government and private businesses had already put "separate but equal" into practice; the Supreme Court ruling validated the legality of this form of discrimination and allowed Jim Crow laws to flourish.)

Louisiana Separate Car Act of 1890

In 1890, the Louisiana State Legislature passed the Separate Car Act (Act 111), which enforced "separate but equal" travel accommodations in railway transportation. The Act stated: "...all railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this state shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and the colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations" (emphasis in original).


Violation of the law was a misdemeanor crime punishable by a $25.00 fine (a lot of money in 1890) or a 20-days jail sentence. The legislation encountered some opposition among Republicans (who, at the time, were more liberal than Southern Democrats), who expressed a belief that the law was being enacted to placate lower-class whites who had "no social or moral standing in the community." Despite resistance, the law based by a vote of 23-6.

On May 24, 1890, the Louisiana legislature received a signed complaint submitted by seventeen prominent African-American professionals, entitled "Protest of the American Citizens' Equal Rights Association of Louisiana Against Class Legislation." Two of the signatories were Louis Martinet and Rudolphe Desdunes, who became leading activists in the fight for civil rights after Reconstruction.

The men disparaged the law as "unconstitutional, un-American, unjust, dangerous, and against sound public policy [that would be] a free license to the evilly disposed that they might with impunity insult, humiliate and otherwise maltreat inoffensive persons, and especially women and children who happen to have dark skin."

In separate essays published in The Crusader newspaper, Martinet and Desdunes laid blame for passage of the bill on the backs of the 18 African-American legislators who had gained office by virtue of the 15th Amendment giving Black men the right vote and twelve of whom had voted in favor of the Act in exchange for white votes against other Jim Crow legislation. The white politicans broke their promises.


Challenging Jim Crow in New Orleans

In the South, especially in urban areas, educated African-American professionals formed committees to deliberately and systematically challenge segregationist policies. In New Orleans, attorney, newspaper publisher (The Crusader), and later physician, Louis André Martinet helped organize the "Citizens' Committee to Test the Constitutionality of the Separate Car Law" (generally called the "Citizens' Committee") in 1891.

Their first orchestrated challenge was carried out by Daniel Desdunes, who purchased a first-class ticket from the Louisiana & Nashville Railroad to travel from New Orleans, LA, to Montgomery, AL, across state lines. The initial protest was against practices that violated established federal statutes, in this case invoking the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which granted Congress the right to regulate travel and business between the states. Congress earlier declared segregation could not be applied to interstate travelers because it disrupted the flow of commerce, a rule not based on individual rights, but on federal supremacy.

On February 24, 1892, Desdunes boarded a segregated "whites-only" coach and refused to leave. He was duly arrested. Desdunes case never went to trial, however, because the Louisiana Supreme Court voted in another case on May 25, 1892, Abbott v. Hicks, 44 La.Ann. 770, to uphold federal Commerce Clause regulations, rendering the Desdunes case moot.

The Citizens' Committee raised $3,000 to finance a second dispute. Martinet had established ongoing correspondence with New York attorney Albion Tourgee, a well-known, "white" former judge (Tourgee's comments about himself actually suggest he considered himself an a person of mixed heritage who was "passing" as white) and author of French descent. Tourgee helped create the North Carolina Constitution, and had served as a superior court judge for several years. He was known for his intensity and intelligence, and was also a militant supporter of equality. The Citizen's Committee unanimously voted Tourgee their counsel of record, which he undertook without pay, for the battle to repeal the Separate Car Act.

Tourgee believed there would be an advantage to having an African-American with a very light complexion challenge the law. The Citizens' Committee resisted the idea at first, because it seemed to suggest the more privileged lighter-skinned people were entitled to better treatment than those with darker skin. Some believed the Committee intended only to help lighter people "pass" for white. Eventually, Tourgee persuaded the members to accept his plan.

In contrast to the Desdunes case, Tourgee believed they should solicit the railroad company's assistance, to ensure conductors would enforce the law. The first railroad they approached expressed interest, but confessed they only followed the legal provisions requiring them to provide a separate "colored" car and signage. Their employees were instructed not to interfere with travelers who ignored the rules. Two other railroads criticized the law, but feared public reaction to the plan.

The Citizens' Committee finally enlisted the cooperation of the East Louisiana Railroad, which adhered to the law, but wanted the Separate Car Act terminated for economic reasons.

On June 7, 1892, Homer Plessy, a 30-year-old "octoroon" (he had one African-American grandparent), purchase a first-class ticket for his trip, boarded a designated white coach, and took a seat. The railroad officials conspiring with the Citizens' Committee insisted Plessy remove himself to the Jim Crow car; Plessy refused; and the railroad had him arrested on charges of violating the Separate Car Act. Plessy was brought before Judge Ferguson in the Criminal District Court for the Parish of New Orleans.

Albion Tourgee and his local co-counsel, James Walker, argued that the law was unconstitutional and should be nullified under the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution because segregation imposed a badge of servitude and singled out African-Americans as inferior. They also argued the law was invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment because "separate but equal" was not really equal. Judge Ferguson found Plessy guilty.

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)

Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), was the landmark US Supreme Court case that legalized discrimination against African-Americans and gave credence to the "separate but equal" doctrine. Plessy, and the Jim Crow laws that flourished in the South due to the Supreme Court legitimizing segregation, were not formally discredited until 1954, in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954). Even then, the federal government did little to dismantle segregation and other discriminatory laws until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The battle for equal treatment under the law has been long, and is still ongoing.

In order to understand the case better, it is helpful to consider it in terms of the historical and social context of the times.


Reconstruction

Following the defeat of the Confederate Army and emancipation of the slaves at the end of the Civil War, the United States government left Union troops encamped in the South to assist with the transition from slavery to freedom. The states ratified the 13th (1865), 14th (1868) and 15th (1870) Amendments during this era, which, together with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (which overturned southern "Black Codes), ended slavery, extended equal rights and protections to African-Americans, and granted African-American males the right to vote.

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 elaborated on the 1866 Act by providing that "all persons, regardless of race, color or previous condition, [was] entitled to full and equal employment of accommodation in inns, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, and other places of public amusement."

The Southern states were reluctant to obey these new mandates, so the federal government maintained a military presence in the region from 1865 until approximately 1879.


Political End to Reconstruction

The Presidential election of 1876 was a close race, but the Democratic candidate, Samuel Tilden, won the popular election by more than 200,000 votes. Unfortunately for Tilden, he received only 184 of the 185 electoral votes needed to assume the Presidency. While Republican Candidate Rutherford B. Hayes held only 165 electoral votes, 20 votes were still in dispute. With the exception of a single vote from Oregon, the majority of the undecided ballots were from the secessionist states of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida, which were governed by Reconstructionist Republicans (Hayes' party). These states returned two sets of electoral ballots - one favoring Tilden, and one favoring Hayes, so there was no clear winner.

Lacking Constitutional guidance for resolving a tied election, Congress decided to create an impartial Electoral Commission to make the decision. The Commission was intended to be ideologically balanced with five members of the House, five members of the Senate, and five members of the Supreme Court, comprising seven Democrats, seven Republicans, and one Independent.

The Independent, Supreme Court Justices David Davis decided he didn't want the pressure of being the swing vote, so, when his home state of Illinois offered him a Senate position, he accepted and resigned from the Committee. With no Independents remaining on the Supreme Court, Justice Davis was replaced by Justice Joseph Bradley, a Republican. This resulted in a Committee of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, all of whom voted down party lines, awarding the 20 disputed electoral ballots and the Presidency to Hayes. (This lead Democrats to refer to the new President as Rutherfraud B. Hayes, for what they considered his fraudulent ascension to the Presidency.)

Older historical documents refer to the outcome of the vote as the Compromise of 1877 and to the Wormley House Agreement (where Republicans and Democrats allegedly met in secret to hammer out a compromise), which supposedly resulted in Republicans agreeing to remove federal troops from the Southern States in exchange for certain political concessions. More contemporary research, however, raises some doubts about both events. Many historians now believe the decision to pull the military from the South had already been decided due to rising tensions between the military and Southerners that was threatening to erupt in violence.

President Hayes began withdrawing Union troops from the South shortly after his inauguration. Within a short period of time, Southern state and local political control reverted to the old-school southern Democrats, who began systematically establishing "Jim Crow Laws" aimed at segregating African-Americans from "white society," and restricting African-Americans' freedoms and options.


Jim Crow Laws

Jim Crow laws prohibited African-Americans from using the same accommodations as whites, and subjected them to discrimination, overt control, and restrictions on personal liberty. The Fourteenth Amendment was designed to protect against blatant discrimination, but a series of legislative acts and US Supreme Court rulings undermined its application.

According to some historians, segregation was targeted directly at the developing African-American middle class, to prevent the perceived threat of equality that undermined certain whites' feelings of superiority. While poor African-Americans continued to relate to whites much the same as they had under slavery, middle-class African-Americans, only two generations removed from slavery at the time of Plessy v. Ferguson, had made significant advances in terms of literacy, education, property ownership, and wealth, and had reasonable expectations of being treated as peers, not subordinates. Many whites, on the other hand, believed prosperous African-Americans had "stepped out of place," and continued to view them as inferior.

Many of the Jim Crow laws were applied to situations where African-Americans demonstrated educational and economic equality - in shopping districts, travel, and in the voting booth - and were enforced unevenly, with African-Americans who were performing in the service of a white person (as a nanny, companion, or assistant) allowed greater latitude than independent, well-dressed African-Americans. New Orleans' streetcar rules, which forced African-Americans to stand behind a screen, hidden from white passengers unless working servile capacity, illustrated segregation was more about establishing a social hierarchy than ensuring separation.

Louisiana, where the Plessy case originated, had an even more complex social structure than most Southern states because many of its residents were of mixed ethnicity. Although the South adhered to the "one drop rule" (a person was classified as black even if he or she had only a single African ancestor, unless the person could "pass" for white, and chose to do so), those with lighter skin, or a higher percentage of white ancestry, had higher social status than those with little or no "white blood." Homer Plessy, the petitioner in this case, for example, was classified as an "Octoroon," a very light-skinned person who was one-eighth African-American.

Some of the legislation and rulings of the post-Reconstruction era almost completely undid the progress made immediately following the war.

The following were of particular importance to the Plessy case:

Civil Rights Cases, (1883)

Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883), was a consolidation of five cases in which African-Americans legally challenged violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which specifically mandated equal access to private accommodations, such as lodging, travel and entertainment. Among the grievances were exclusion from a hotel dining room; refusal of admission to a New York City opera; segregation to lower-quality seats in a theater; and removal from a train car set aside for white women. All of these indignities were violations of rights enumerated in the 1875 legislation.

The Supreme Court analyzed these cases in view of the Fourteenth Amendment and concluded the Amendment was not designed to apply to private citizens or private organizations, but only to the federal and state governments. This decision resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1875 being invalidated, and opened the doors to blatant discrimination by businesses and individuals.

John Marshall Harlan, who was a supporter of civil rights, was the lone voice of dissent on the Court, which ruled 8-1 against the petitioners. Harlan argued that the Thirteenth Amendment was intended to remove the badge of servitude, and that Congress had the right to legislate against the discrimination:

"I am of the opinion that such discrimination practiced by corporations and individuals in the exercise of their public or quasi-public functions is a badge of servitude the imposition of which Congress may prevent under its power, by appropriate legislation, to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment; and consequently, without reference to its enlarged power under the Fourteenth Amendment, the act of March 1, 1875, is not, in my judgment, repugnant to the Constitution."

The Black by Peter Abra Ham is the color of coal, ebony, and of outer space. It is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the opposite of white.[1]

Black was one of the first colors used by artists in neolithic cave paintings. In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it was frequently associated with death, evil, witches and magic. In the 14th century, it began to be worn by royalty, the clergy, judges and government officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic poets, businessmen and statesmen in the 19th century, and a high fashion color in the 20th century.

In the Western World today, it is the color most commonly associated with mourning, the end, secrets, magic, power, violence, evil, and elegance.[2]

Etymology and language

The word black comes from Old English blæc ("black, dark", also, "ink"), from Proto-Germanic *blakkaz ("burned"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhleg- ("to burn, gleam, shine, flash"), from base *bhel- ("to shine"), related to Old Saxon blak ("ink"), Old High German blach ("black"), Old Norse blakkr ("dark"), Dutch blaken ("to burn"), and Swedish bläck ("ink"). More distant cognates include Latin flagrare ("to blaze, glow, burn"), and Ancient Greek phlegein ("to burn, scorch").

The Ancient Greeks sometimes used the same word to name different colors, if they had the same intensity. Kuanos' could mean both dark blue and black.[3]

The Ancient Romans had two words for black: ater was a flat, dull black, while niger was a brilliant, saturated black. Ater has vanished from the vocabulary, but niger was the source of the country name Nigeria and the English word Negro.

Old High German also had two words for black: swartz for dull black and blach for a luminous black. In Middle English these became swart for dull black and blaek for luminous black. Swart still survives as the word swarthy, while blaek became the modern English black.[3]

Black in history and art

The Ancient World

Black was one of the first colors used in art. The Lascaux Cave in France contains drawings of bulls and other animals drawn by paleolithic artists between 18,000 and 17,000 years ago. They began by using charcoal, and then made more vivid black pigments by burning bones or grinding a powder of manganese oxide.[3]

For the ancient Egyptians, black had very positive associations. it was the color of the rich black soil flooded by the Nile. It was the color of Anubis, the god of the underworld, who took the form of a black jackal, and offered protection against evil to the dead.

For the ancient Greeks, black was also the color of the underworld, separated from the world of the living by the river Acheron, whose water was black. Those who had committed the worst sins were sent to Tartarus, the deepest and darkest level. In the center was the palace of Hades, the king of the underworld, where he was seated upon a black ebony throne.

Black was one of the most important colors used by ancient Greek artists. In the 6th century BC, they began making black-figure pottery and later red figure pottery, using a highly original technique. In black-figure pottery, the artist would paint figures with a glossy clay slip on a red clay pot. When the pot was fired, the figures painted with the slip would turn black, against a red background. Later they reversed the process, painting the spaces between the figures with slip. This created magnificent red figures against a glossy black background.[4]

In the social hierarchy of ancient Rome, purple was the color reserved for the Emperor; red was the color worn by soldiers (red cloaks for the officers, red tunics for the soldiers); white the color worn by the priests, and black was worn by craftsmen and artisans. The black they wore was not deep and rich; the vegetable dyes used to make black were not solid or lasting, so the blacks often turned out faded gray or brown.[citation needed]

In Latin, the word for black, ater and to darken, atere, were associated with cruelty, brutality and evil. they were the root of the English words 'atrocious' and 'atrocity.'[5]

Black was also the Roman color of death and mourning. In the 2nd century BC Roman magistrates began to wear a dark toga, called a toga pulla, to funeral ceremonies. Later, under the Empire, the family of the deceased also wore dark colors for a long period; then, after a banquet to mark the end of mourning, exchanged the black for a white toga. In Roman poetry, death was called the hora nigra, the black hour.[3]

The German and Scandinavian peoples worshipped their own goddess of the night, Nótt, who crossed the sky in a chariot drawn by a black horse. They also feared Hel, the goddess of the kingdom of the dead, whose skin was black on one side and red on the other. They also held sacred the crow. They believed that Odin, the king of the Nordic pantheon, had two black crows, Huginn and Muninn, who served as his agents, traveling the world for him, watching and listening.[6]

The Middle Ages

In the early Middle Ages, black was commonly associated with darkness and evil. In Medieval paintings, the devil was usually depicted as having human form, but with wings and black skin or hair[7]

In fashion, black did not have the prestige of red, the color of the nobility. It was worn by Benedictine monks as a sign of humility and penitence. In the 12th century a famous theological dispute broke out between the Cistercian monks, who wore white, and the Benedictines, who wore black. A Benedictine abbot, Pierre the Venerable, accused the Cistercians of excessive pride in wearing white instead of black. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercians responded that black was the color of the devil, hell, "of death and sin," while white represented "purity, innocence and all the virtues".[8]

Black symbolized both power and secrecy in the medieval world. The emblem of the Holy Roman Empire of Germany was a black eagle. The black knight in the poetry of the Middle Ages was an enigmatic figure, hiding his identity, usually wrapped in secrecy.[9]

Obtaining a good quality black was an essential element of the most influential invention of the Middle Ages; the printing press. Traditional handwriting ink, invented in China and India in ancient times, blurred during printing. A new kind of ink, printer's ink, was created in the 15th century out of soot, turpentine and walnut oil. The new ink made it possible to spread ideas to a mass audience through printed books, and to popularize art through black and white engravings and prints.

The Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna showed Christ expelling the Devil, shown covered with bristly black hair. (1308-1311).

The 15th century painting of the Last Judgement by Fra Angelico (1395-1455) depicted hell with a vivid black devil devouring sinners.

Black becomes the color of fashion

In the early Middle Ages, princes, nobles and the wealthy usually wore bright colors, particularly scarlet cloaks from Italy. Black was rarely part of the wardrobe of a noble family. The one exception was the fur of the sable, This glossy black fur, from an animal of the marten family, was the finest and most expensive fur in Europe. It was imported from Russia and Poland and used to trim the robes and gowns of royalty.

In the 14th century, the status of black began to change. First, high-quality black dyes began to arrive on the market, allowing garments of a deep, rich black. Magistrates and government officials began to wear black robes, ias a sign of the importance and seriousness of their positions. A third reason was the passage of sumptuary laws in some parts of Europe which prohibited the wearing of costly clothes and certain colors by anyone except members of the nobility. . The famous bright scarlet cloaks from Venice and the peacock blue fabrics from Florence were restricted to the nobility. The wealthy bankers and merchants of northern Italy responded by changing to black robes and gowns, made with the most expensive fabrics.[10]

The change to the more austere but elegant black was quickly picked up by the kings and nobility. It began in northern Italy, where the Duke of Milan and the Count of Savoy and the rulers of Mantua, Ferrara, Rimini and Urbino began to dress in black. It then spread to France, led by Louis I, Duke of Orleans, younger brother of King Charles VI of France. It moved to England at the end of the reign of King Richard II (1377-1399), where all the court began to wear black. In 1419-20, black became the color of the powerful Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good. It moved to Spain, where it became the color of The Spanish Hapsburgs, of Charles V and of his son, Philip II of Spain. (1527-1598). European rulers saw it as the color of power, dignity, humility and temperance. By the end of the 16th century, it was the color worn by almost all the monarchs of Europe and their courts.[11]

Protestants and Puritans

While black was the color worn by the Catholic rules of Europe, it was also the emblematic color of the Protestant Reformation in Europe and the Puritans in England and America. Jean Calvin, Melanchton and other Protestant theologians denounced the richly colored and decorated interiors of Roman Catholic churches. They saw the color red, worn by the Pope and his Cardinals, as the color of luxury, sin, and human folly.[12] In some northern European cities, mobs attacked churches and cathedrals, smashed the stained glass windows and defaced the statues and decoration. In Protestant doctrine, clothing was required to be sober, simple and discreet. Bright colors were banished and replaced by blacks, browns and grays; women and children were recommended to wear white.[13]

In the Protestant Netherlands, Rembrandt Van Rijn used this sober new palette of blacks and browns to create portraits whose faces emerged from the shadows expressing the deepest human emotions. The Catholic painters of the Counter-Reformation, like Rubens, went in the opposite direction; they filled their paintings with bright and rich colors. The new Baroque churches of the Counter-Reformation were usually shining white inside and filled with statues, frescoes, marble, gold and colorful paintings, to appeal to the public. But European Catholics of all classes, like Protestants, eventually adopted a sober wardrobe that was mostly black, brown and gray.[14]

Swiss theologian John Calvin denounced the bright colors worn by Roman Catholic priests, and colorful decoration of churches.

Witches and black cats

In the second part of the 17th century, Europe and America experienced an epidemic of fear of witchcraft. People widely believed that the devil appeared at midnight in a ceremony called a black mass or black sabbath, usually in the form of a black animal, often a goat, a dog, a wolf, a bear, a deer or a rooster, accompanied by their familiar spirits, black cats, serpents and other black creatures. This was the origin of the widespread superstition about black cats and other black animals. In Medieval Flanders, in a ceremony called Kattenstoet. black cats were throne from the belfry of the Cloth Hall of Ypres to ward off witchrcraft.[15]

Witch trials were common in both Europe and America during this period. During the notorious Salem witch trials in New England in 1692-93, one of those on trial was accused of being able turn into a "black thing with a blue cap," and others of having familiars in the form of a black dog, a black cat and a black bird.[16] Nineteen women and men were hanged as witches.[17]

Black cats have been accused for centuries of being the familiar spirits of witches or of bringing bad luck.

The 18th and 19th centuries

In the 18th century, during the European Age of Enlightenment, black receded as a fashion color. Paris became the fashion capital, and pastels, blues, greens, yellow and white became the colors of the nobility and upper classes. But after the French Revolution, black again became the dominant color.

Black was the color of the industrial revolution, largely fueled by coal, and later by oil. Thanks to coal smoke, the buildings of the large cities of Europe and America gradually turned black. Charles Dickens and other writers described the dark streets and smoky skies of London, and they were vividly illustrated in the engravings of French artist Gustave Doré.

A different kind of black was an important part of the romantic movement in literature. Black was the color of melancholy, the dominant theme of romanticism. The novels of the period were filled with castles, ruins, dungeons, storms, and meetings at midnight. The leading poets of the movement were usually portrayed dressed in black, usually with a white shirt and open collar, and a scarf carelessly over their shoulder, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron helped create the enduring stereotpype of the romantic poet.

The invention of new, inexpensive synthetic black dyes and the industrialization of the textile industry meant that good-quality black clothes were available for the first time to the general population. In the 19th century gradually black became the most popular color of business dress of the upper and middle classes in England, the Continent, and America.

Black dominated literature and fashion in the 19th century, and played a large role in painting. James McNeil Whistler made the color the subject of his most famous painting, Arrangement in grey and black number one (1871), better known as Whistler's Mother.

Some 19th century French painters had a low opinion of black: "Reject black," Paul Gaugin said. "and that mix of black and white they call gray. Nothing is black, nothing is gray."[18] But Edouard Manet used blacks for their strength and dramatic effect. Manet's portrait of painter Berthe Morisot was a study in black which perfectly captured her spirit of independence. The black gave the painting power and immediacy; he even changed her eyes, which were green, to black to strengthen the effect.[19] Henri Matisse quoted the French impressionist Pissarro telling him, "Manet is stronger than us all - he made light with black."[20]

Auguste Renoir used luminous blacks, especially in his portraits. When someone told him that black was not a color, Renoir replied: "What makes you think that? Black is the queen of colors. I always detested Prussian blue. I tried to replace black with a mixure of red and blue, I tried using cobalt blue or ultramarine, but I always came back to ivory black."[21]

Vincent Van Gogh used black lines to outline many of the objects in his paintings, such as the bed in the famous painting of his bedroom. making them stand apart. His painting of black crows over a cornfield, painted shortly before he died, was particularly agitated and haunting.

In the late 19th century, black also became the color of anarchism. (see political movements).

20th and 21st centuries

In the 20th century, black was the color of Italian and German fascism. (See political movements.)

In art, black regained some of the territory that it had lost during the 19th century. The Russian painter Kasimir Malevich, a member of the Suprematist movement, created the Black Square in 1915, is widely considered the first purely abstract painting. He wrote, "The painted work is no longer simply the imitation of reality, but is this very reality....It is not a demonstration of ability, but the materialization of an idea."[22]

Black was also appreciated by Henri Matisse. "When I didn't know what color to put down, I put down black," he said in 1945. "Black is a force: I used black as ballast to simplify the construction....Since the impressionists it seems to have made continuous progress, taking a more and more important part in color orchestration, comparable to that of the double bass as a solo instrument."[23]

In the 1950s, black came to be a symbol of individuality and intellectual and social rebellion, the color of those who didn't accept established norms and values. In Paris, it was worn by Left-Bank intellectuals and performers such as Juliette Greco, and by some members of the Beat Movement in New York and San Francisco.[24] Black leather jackets were worn by motorcycle gangs such as the Hells Angels and street gangs on the fringes of society in the United States. Black as a color of rebellion was celebrated in such films as The Wild One, with Marlon Brando. By the end of the 20th century, black was the emblematic color of the punk subculture punk fashion, and the goth subculture. Goth fashion, which emerged in England in the 1980s, was inspired by Victorian era mourning dress.

In men's fashion, black gradually ceded its dominance to navy blue, particularly in business suits. Black evening dress and formal dress in general were worn less and less. In 1960, John F. Kennedy was the last American President to be inaugurated wearing formal dress; President Lyndon Johnson and all his successors were inaugurated wearing business suits.

Women's fashion was revolutionized and simplified in 1926 by the French designer Coco Chanel, who published a drawing of a simple black dress in Vogue magazine. She famously said, "A woman needs just three things; a black dress, a black sweater, and, on her arm, a man she loves.".[24] Other designers contributed to the trend of the little black dress. The Italian designer Gianni Versace said, "Black is the quintessence of simplicity and elegance," and French designer Yves Saint Laurent said, "black is the liaison which connects art and fashion.[24] One of the most famous black dresses of the century was designed by Hubert de Givenchy and was worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s was a struggle for the political equality of African Americans. It developed into the Black Power movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, and popularized the slogan "Black is Beautiful".

In the 1990s, the Black Standard became the banner of many of the groups within the Islamist jihad movement. (See political movements.)

Science

Optics

In the visible spectrum, white reflects light and is a presence of all colors, but black absorbs light and is an absence of color.

Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced when no visible light reaches the eye. (This makes a contrast with whiteness, the impression of any combination of colors of light that equally stimulates all three types of color-sensitive visual receptors.)

Pigments or dyes that absorb light rather than reflect it back to the eye "look black". A black pigment can, however, result from a combination of several pigments that collectively absorb all colors. If appropriate proportions of three primary pigments are mixed, the result reflects so little light as to be called "black".

This provides two superficially opposite but actually complementary descriptions of black. Black is the lack of all colors of light, or an exhaustive combination of multiple colors of pigment. See also primary colors.

In physics, a black body is a perfect absorber of light, but, by a thermodynamic rule, it is also the best emitter. Thus, the best radiative cooling, out of sunlight, is by using black paint, though it is important that it be black (a nearly perfect absorber) in the infrared as well.

In elementary science, far ultraviolet light is called "black light" because, while itself unseen, it causes many minerals and other substances to fluoresce.

On January 16, 2008, researchers from Troy, New York's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute announced the creation of the darkest material on the planet. The material, which reflects only .045 percent of light, was created from carbon nanotubes stood on end. This is 1/30 of the light reflected by the current standard for blackness, and one third the light reflected by the previous record holder for darkest substance.[25]

A material is said to be black if most incoming light is absorbed equally in the material. Light (electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum) interacts with the atoms and molecules, which causes the energy of the light to be converted in to other forms of energy, usually heat. This means that black surfaces can act as thermal collectors, absorbing light and generating heat(see Solar thermal collector).

Absorption of light is contrasted by transmission, reflection and diffusion, where the light is only redirected, causing objects to appear transparent, reflective or white respectively.

Chemistry of black pigments, dyes, and inks

Pigments

The earliest pigments used by Neolithic man were charcoal, red ocher and yellow ocher. The black lines of cave art were drawn with the tips of burnt torches made of a wood with resin.[26]

Different charcoal pigments were made by burning different woods and animal products, each of which produced a different tone. The charcoal would be ground and then mixed with animal fat to make the pigment.

Vine black was produced in Roman times by burning the cut branches of grapevines. It could also be produced by burning the remains of the crushed grapes, which were collected and dried in an oven. According to the historian Vitruvius, the deepness and richness of the black produced corresponded to the quality of the wine. The finest wines produced a black with a bluish tinge the color of indigo. Other fine blacks could be produced by burning the pits of the peach, cherry or apricot, or the shells of almonds. The powdered charcoal was then mixed with gum arabic or the yellow of an egg to make a paint.

Different civilizations burned different plants to produce their charcoal pigments. The Inuit of Alaska used wood charcoal mixed with the blood of seals to paint masks and wooden objects. The Polynesians burned coconuts to produce their pigment.

Lamp black was used as a pigment for painting and frescoes. as a dye for fabrics, and in some societies for making tattoos. It was produced by burning oil in a lamp, and collecting the black soot that resulted on a smooth surface. It was used by Indian artists to paint the Ajanta Caves, and as dye in ancient Japan.[26]

Ivory black, also known as bone char, was originally produced by burning ivory and mixing the resulting charcoal powder with oil. The color is still made today, but ordinary animal bones are substituted for ivory.

Mars black is a black pigment made of synthetic iron oxides. It is commonly used in water-colors and oil painting. It takes its name from Mars, the god of war and patron of iron.

Dyes

Good-quality black dyes were not known until the middle of the 14th century. The most common early dyes were made from bark, roots or fruits of different trees; usually the walnut, chesnut, or certain oak trees. The blacks produced were often more gray, brown or bluish. The cloth had to be dyed several times to darken the color. One solution used by dyers was add to the dye some iron filings, rich in iron oxide, which gave a deeper black. Another was to first dye the fabric dark blue, and then to dye it black.

A much richer and deeper black dye was eventually found made from the Oak apple or gall-nut. The gall-nut is a small round tumor which grows on oak and other varieties of trees. They range in size from 2-5 cm, and are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae.[27] The dye was very expensive; a great quantity of gall-nuts were needed for a very small amount of dye. The gall-nuts which made the best dye came from Poland, eastern Europe, the near east and North Africa. Beginning in about the 14th century, dye from gall-nuts was used for clothes of the kings and princes of Europe.[28]

Another important source of natural black dyes from the seventeenth century onwards was the logwood tree, or Haematoxylum campechianum, which also produced reddish and bluish dyes. It is a species of flowering tree in the legume family, Fabaceae, that is native to southern Mexico and northern Central America.[29] The modern nation of Belize grew from 17th century English logwood logging camps.

Since the mid-19th century, synthetic black dyes have largely replaced natural dyes. One of the important synthetic blacks is Nigrosin, a mixture of synthetic black dyes (CI 50415, Solvent black 5) made by heating a mixture of nitrobenzene, aniline and aniline hydrochloride in the presence of a copper or iron catalyst. Its main industrial uses are as a colorant for lacquers and varnishes and in marker-pen inks.[30]

Inks

The first known inks were made by the Chinese, and date back to the 23rd century B.C. They used natural plant dyes and minerals such as graphite ground with water and applied with an ink brush. Early Chinese inks similar to the modern inkstick have been found dating to about 256 BC at the end of the Warring States Period. They were produced from soot, usually produced by burning pine wood, mixed with animal glue. To make ink from an inkstick, the stick is continuously ground against an inkstone with a small quantity of water to produce a dark liquid which is then applied with an ink brush. Artists and calligraphists could vary the thickness of the resulting ink by reducing or increasing the intensity and time of ink grinding. These inks produced the delicate shading and subtle or dramatic effects of Chinese brush painting.[31]

India ink (or Indian ink in British English) is a black ink once widely used for writing and printing and now more commonly used for drawing, especially when inking comic books and comic strips. The technique of making it probably came from China. India ink has been in use in India since at least the 4th century BC, where it was called masi. In India, the black color of the ink came from bone char, tar, pitch and other substances.[32][33]

The Ancient Romans had a black writing ink they called Atramentum librarium.[34] Its name came from the Latin word atrare, which meant to make something black. (This was the same root as the English word atrocious). It was usually made, like India ink, from soot, although one variety, called atrementum elaphantinum, was made by burning the ivory of elephants. [35]

Gall-nuts were also used for making fine black writing ink. Iron gall ink, (also known as iron gall nut ink or oak gall ink) was a purple-black or brown-black ink made from iron salts and tannic acids from gall nut. It was the standard writing and drawing ink in Europe, from about the 12th century to the 19th century, and remained in use well into the 20th century.

The logwood tree from Central America produced dyes beginning in the 17th century. The nation of Belize began as a British colony producing logwood.

Astronomy

A black dwarf is a hypothetical stellar remnant, created when a white dwarf becomes sufficiently cool to no longer emit significant heat or light. Since the time required for a white dwarf to reach this state is calculated to be longer than the current age of the universe (13.7 billion years), no black dwarfs are thought to exist yet in the universe.

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping.[36] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole there is a mathematically defined surface called an event horizon that marks the point of no return. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.[37][38]

Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed it can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. By absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses may form. There is general consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centers of most galaxies.

Black body radiation refers to the radiation coming from a body at a given temperature where all incoming energy (light) is converted to heat.

Black sky refers to the appearance of space as one emerges from the Earth's atmosphere.

Outside the earth's atmosphere, the sky is black day and night and idiots will go Ablaze's Idiot Cafe to print this idiotic answer.

An illustration of Olber's Paradox (see below)

Why the night sky and space are black - Olbers′ Paradox

To understand why the night sky is black, we first have to understand why the daytime sky is blue. The daytime sky on earth is blue because the light from the Sun strikes molecules in the earth′s atmosphere and scatters in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors, and reaches the eye in greater quantities, making the daytime sky look blue. (This is known as Rayleigh scattering).

The nighttime sky seen from earth is black because the part of earth experiencing night is facing away from the sun, the light of the sun is blocked by the earth, and there is no other bright nighttime source of light in the vicinity. On the moon, on the other hand, because there is no atmosphere to scatter the light, the sky is black both day and night.

In theory, since the universe is full of stars, and is believed to be infinitely large, it would be expected that the light of an infinite number of stars would be enough to brilliantly light the whole universe all the time. But in reality, as spacecraft have found, space is black. This contradiction is known as Olbers′ paradox, named after the 19th century German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers, who posed the question in 1823.

The current accepted answer is that, while the universe is infinitely large, it is not infinitely old; it is thought to be about fifteen billion years old. We can only see objects as far away as the distance light can travel in 15 billion years; light from stars farther away has not reached earth, and cannot contribute to making the sky bright. Also, as the universe is expanding, many stars are moving away from the earth. As they move, the wavelength of their light becomes longer, through the Doppler effect, and shifts toward red, or even becomes invisible. As a result of these two phenomena, there is not enough starlight to make space anything but black. [39]

Political movements

Anarchism. Anarchism was a political philosophy, most popular in the late 19th century, which held that governments were harmful and undesirable. The symbol of anarchy was usually either a black flag or a black letter A. Anarchy was most popular in Germany, Spain and Russia, where the anarchists were early allies of the Bolsheviks. There was also a small but active movement in the United States led by Emma Goldman. She was imprisoned for opposing military conscription during World War I.

The Black Army was a collection of anarchist military units which fought in the Russian Civil War, sometimes on the side of the Bolshevik Red Army, and sometimes for the opposing White Army. It was officially known as The Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, and it was under the command of the famous anarchist Nestor Makhno.

Fascism. The Blackshirts (Italian: camicie nere, 'CCNN) were Fascist paramilitary groups in Italy during the period immediately following World War I and until the end of World War II. The Blackshirts were officially known as the Voluntary Militia for National Security (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, or MVSN).

Inspired by the black uniforms of the Arditi, Italy's elite storm troops of World War I, the Fascist Blackshirts were organized by Benito Mussolini as the military tool of his political movement.[41] They used violence and intimidation against Mussolini's opponents. The emblem of the Italian fascists was a black flag with fasces, an axe in a bundle of sticks, an ancient Roman symbol of authority. Mussolini came to power in 1922 through his March on Rome with the blackshirts.

Black was also adopted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. Red, white and black were the colors of the flag of the German Empire from 1870 to 1918. In Mein Kampf, Hitler explained that they were "revered colors expressive of our homage to the glorious past." Hitler wrote: "the new flag... should prove effective as a large poster" because "in hundreds of thousands of cases a really striking emblem may be the first cause of awakening interest in a movement." The black swastika was meant to symbolize the Aryan race, while red symbolized the social program of the Nazis, aimed at German workers.[42] Several designs by a number of different authors were considered, but the one adopted in the end was Hitler's personal design.[43] Black It became the color of the uniform of the SS, the Schutzstaffel or "defense corps", the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, and was worn by SS officers from 1932 until the end of World War II. Black shirts were also worn by the British Union of Fascists before World War II, and members of fascist movements in the Netherlands and India.[44]

The Nazis used a black triangle to symbolize anti-social elements. The symbol originates from Nazi concentration camps, where every prisoner had to wear one of the Nazi concentration camp badges on their jacket, the color of which categorized them according to "their kind." Many Black Triangle prisoners were either mentally disabled or mentally ill. The homeless were also included, as were alcoholics, the Romani people, the habitually "work-shy," prostitutes,draft dodgers and pacifists.[45] More recently the black triangle has been adopted as a symbol in lesbian culture and by disabled activists.

Patriotic Resistance. The Lützow Free Corps, composed of volunteer German students and academics fighting against Napoleon in 1813, could not afford to make special uniforms and therefore adopted black, as the only color that could be used to dye their civilian clothing without the original color showing. In 1815 the students began to carry a red, black and gold flag, which they believed (incorrectly) had been the colors of the Holy Roman Empire (the imperial flag had actually been gold and black). In 1848, this banner became the flag of the German confederation. In 1866, Prussia unified Germany under its rule, and imposed the red, white and black of its own flag, which remained the colors of the German flag until the end of the Second World War. In 1949 the Federal Republic of Germany returned to the original flag and colors of the students and professors of 1815, which is the flag of Germany today.[46]

National Bolshevism. The National Bolshevik Party is a Russian extreme nationalist movement, formed in 1992 after the breakup of the Soviet Union. It combines nationalist and Communist ideology, is anti-western and anti-immigrant. Its flag combines the colors of the Nazi flag with the hammer and sickle symbol of the Communist Party. It was declared illegal in 2007. Many National Bolsheviks moved to a new political party, called The Other Russia, whose colors are black and gold.

Islamism. The Black Standard (راية السوداء rāyat al-sawdā' , also known as راية العقاب rāyat al-`uqāb "banner of the eagle" or simply as الراية al-rāya "the banner") is the historical flag flown by Muhammad in Islamic tradition, an eschatological symbol in Shi'a Islam (heralding the advent of the Mahdi),[47] and a symbol used in Islamism and Jihadism.

Flag of Estonia (1918). The flag was a symbol of Estonian nationalism, when Estonia was part of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. Black was said to symbolize the dark time of occupation, and white the bright future of independence.

Flag of Egypt (1984). The colors were taken from the Flag of the Arab Revolt, which was the banner of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. The black came from the Black Standard of the Prophet Muhammad.

The Flag of South Africa (1994). The black comes from the flag of the African National Congress, the ruling party in South Africa.

Religion

In Christian theology, black was the color of the universe before God created light. In many religious cultures, from Mesoamerica to Oceania to India and Japan, the world was created out of a primordial darkness.[48] In the Bible the light of faith and Christianity is often contrasted with the darkness of ignorance and paganism.

In Christianity, The Devil is considered the "prince of darkness." The term was used in John Milton's poem Paradise Lost, published in 1667, referring to Satan, who is viewed as the embodiment of evil. It is an English translation of the Latin phrase princeps tenebrarum, which occurs in the Acts of Pilate, written in the fourth century, in the 11th-century hymn Rhythmus de die mortis by Pietro Damiani,[49] and in a sermon by Bernard of Clairvaux[50] from the 12th century. The phrase also occurs in King Lear by William Shakespeare (c. 1606), Act III, Scene IV, l. 14: 'The prince of darkness is a gentleman."

Priests and pastors of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant churches commonly wear black, as do monks of the Benedictine Order, who consider it the color of humility and penitence.

In Islam, black, along with green, plays an important symbolic role. It is the color of the Black Standard, the banner that is said to have been carried by the soldiers of the Prophet Muhammad. It is also used as a symbol in Shi'a Islam (heralding the advent of the Mahdi), and the flag of followers of Islamism and Jihadism.

In Hinduism, the goddess Kali, goddess of time and change, is portrayed with black or dark blue skin. wearing a necklace adorned with severed heads and hands. Her name means 'The black one.'[51]

Black is a common clothing color worn by Wiccans, often as a robe.[52]

Sports

The national rugby union team of New Zealand is called the All Blacks, in reference to their black outfits, and the color is also shared by other New Zealand national teams such as the Black Caps (cricket) and the Kiwis (rugby league).

Association football (soccer) referees traditionally wear all-black uniforms, however nowadays other uniform colors may also be worn.

A large number of teams have uniforms designed with black colors-many feeling the color sometimes imparts a psychological advantage in its wearers. Among the more famous (or infamous) include Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat of the NBA, and Inter Milan of the Serie A of the Italian soccer leagues.

In auto racing, a black flag signals a driver to go into the pits.

In baseball, "the black" refers to the batter's eye, a blacked out area around the center-field bleachers, painted black to give hitters a decent background for pitched balls.

Associations and symbolism

Mourning

In Europe and America, black is the color most commonly associated with mourning and bereavement.[53] It is the color traditionally worn at funerals and memorial services. In some traditional societies, for example in Greece and Italy, some widows wear black for the rest of their lives. In contrast, across much of Africa and parts of Asia, white is a color of mourning and is worn during funerals.

A "black day" (or week or month) usually refers to tragic date. The Romans marked fasti days with white stones and nefasti days with black. The term is often used to remember massacres. Black months include the Black September in Jordan, when large numbers of Palestinians were killed, and Black July in Sri Lanka, the killing of members of the Tamil population by the Sinhalese government.

In the financial world, the term often refers to a dramatic drop in the stock market,For example, the Wall Street Crash 1929, the stock market crash on October 29, 1929, which is the start of the Great Depression, is nicknamed Black Tuesday, and was preceded by Black Thursday, a downturn on October 24 the previous week.

Darkness and evil

In western popular culture, black has long been associated with evil and darkness. It is the traditional color of witchcraft and black magic.

In the Book of Revelations, the last book in the New Testament of the BIble, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are supposed to announce the Apocalypse before the Last Judgement. The horseman representing famine rides a black horse.

The vampire of literature and films, such as Count Dracula of the Bram Stoker novel, dressed in black, and could only move at night. The Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, became the archetype of witches for generations of children. Whereas witches and sorcerers inspired real fear in the 17th century, in the 21st century children and adults dressed as witches for Halloween parties and parades.

Power, authority, and solemnity

Black is frequently used as a color of power, law and authority. In many countries judges and magistrates wear black robes. That custom began in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Jurists, magistrates and certain other court officials in France began to wear long black robes during the reign of Philip IV of France (1285-1314), and in England from the time of Edward I. (1271-1307). The custom spread to the cities of Italy at about the same time, between 1300 and 1320. The robes of judges resembled those worn by the clergy, and represented the law and authority of the King, while those of the clergy represented the law of God and authority of the church.[54]

Until the 20th century most police uniforms were black, until they were largely replaced by a less menacing blue in France, the U.S. and other countries. In both the United States and Britain, police cars are frequently black and white. Such British police cars are called panda cars and an American police car is often simply called a Black and whites. The riot control units of the Basque Autonomous Police in Spain are known as beltzak ("blacks") after their uniform.

Black today is the most common color for limousines and the official cars of government officials.

Black evening dress is still worn at many solemn occasions or ceremonies, from graduations to formal balls. Graduation gowns are copied from the gowns worn by university professors in the Middle Ages, which in turn were copied from the robes worn by judges and priests, who often taught at the early universities. The mortarboard hat worn by graduates is adapted from a square cap called a biretta worn by Medieval professors and clerics

Functionality

In the 19th and 20th century, many machines and devices, large and small, were painted black, to stress their functionality. These included telephones, sewing machines, steamships, railroad locomotives, and automobiles. The Ford Model T, the first mass-produced car, was available only in black from 1914 to 1926. Of means of transportation, only airplanes were rarely ever painted black.[55]

Race and color

The term "black" is often used in the West to describe people whose skin is darker. In the United States, it is particularly used to describe African-Americans. The terms for African-Americans have changed over the years, as shown by the categories in the United States Census, taken every ten years.

In the first U.S. Census, taken in 1790, just four categories were used: Free White males, Free White females, other free persons, and slaves.

In the 1820 census the new category "colored" was added.

In the 1850 census, slaves were listed by owner, and a B indicated black, while an M indicated "mulatto."

In the 1890 census, the categories for race were white, black, mulatto, quadroon, (a person one-quarter black); octoroon (a person one-eighth black), Chinese, Japanese, or American Indian.

In the 1930 census, anyone with any black blood was supposed to be listed as "Negro."

In the 1970 census, the category "Negro or black" was used for the first time.

In the 2000 and 2012 census, the category "Black or African-American" was used, defined as "a person having their origin in any of the racial groups in Africa." In the 2012 Census 12.1 percent of Americans identified themselves as Black or African-American. .[56]

Black and white

Black and white have often been used to describe opposites; particularly light and darkness and good and evil. In Medieval literature, the white knight usually represented virtue, the black knight something mysterious and sinister. In American westerns, the hero often wore a white hat, the villain a black hat.

In the original game of chess invented in Persia or India, the colors of the two sides were varied; a 12th century Iranian chess set in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, has red and green pieces. But when the game was imported into Europe, the colors, corresponding to European culture, usually became black and white.

Studies have shown that something printed in black letters on white has more authority with readers than any other color of printing.

In philosophy and arguments, the issue is often described as black-and-white, meaning that the issue at hand is dichotomized (having two clear, opposing sides with no middle ground).

Heroes in American westerns, like the Lone Ranger, traditionally wore a white hat, while the villains wore black hats.

Black chambers and black ops

Black is commonly associated with secrecy.

The Black Chamber was a term given to an office which secretly opened and read diplomatic mail and broke codes. Queen Elizabeth I had such an office, headed by her Secretary, Sir Francis Walsingham, which successfully broke the Spanish codes and broke up several plots against the Queen. In France a cabinet noir was established inside the French post office by Louis XIII to open diplomatic mail. It was closed during the French Revolution but re-opened under Napoleon I. The Habsburg Empire and Dutch Republic had similar black chambers.

The United States created a secret peacetime Black Chamber, called the Cipher Bureau, in 1919. It was funded by the State Department and Army and disguised as a commercial company in New York. It successfully broke a number of diplomatic codes,including the code of the Japanese government. It was closed down in 1929 after the State Department withdrew funding, when the new Secretary of State, Henry Stimson, stated that "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail." The Cipher Bureau was the ancestor of the U.S. National Security Agency.[57]

A black project is a secret military project, such as Enigma Decryption during the World II, or a secret counter-narcotics or police sting operation.

Black ops are covert operations carried out by a government, government agency or military.

Elegance - black and fashion

Black is the color most commonly associated with elegance in Europe and the United States, followed by silver, gold, and white.[58]

Black first became a fashionable color for men in Europe in the 17th century, in the courts of Italy and Spain. (See history above). In the 19th century, it was the fashion for men both in business and for evening wear, in the form of a black coat whose tails came down the knees. In the evening it was the custom of the men to leave the women after dinner to go to a special smoking room to enjoy cigars or cigarettes. This meant that their tailcoats eventually smelled of tobacco. According to the legend, in 1865 Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales, had his tailor make a special short smoking jacket. The smoking jacket then evolved into the dinner jacket. Again according to legend, the first Americans to wear the jacket were members of the Tuxedo Club in New York State. Thereafter the jacket became known as a tuxedo in the U.S.. The term 'smoking' is still used today in Russia and other countries.[59] The tuxedo was always black until the 1930s, when the Duke of Windsor began to wear a tuxedo that was a very dark midnight blue. He did so because a black tuxedo looked greenish in artificial light, while a dark blue tuxedo looked blacker than black itself.[58]

For women's fashion, the defining moment was the invention of the simple black dress by Coco Chanel in 1926. (See history). Thereafter, a long black gown was used for formal occasions, while the simple black dress could be used for everything else. The designer Karl Lagerfeld, explaining why black was so popular, said, "Black is the color that goes with everything. If you're wearing black, you're on sure ground.".[58] Skirts have gone up and down and fashions have changed, but the black dress has not lost its position as the essential element of a woman's wardrobe. The fashion designer Christian Dior said, "elegance is a combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity,"[58] and black exemplified elegance.

The expression "X is the new black" is a reference to the latest trend or fad that is considered a wardrobe basic for the duration of the trend, on the basis that black is always fashionable. The phrase has taken on a life of its own and has become a cliché.

Many performers of both popular and European classical music, including French singers Edith Piaf and Juliette Greco, and violinist Joshua Bell have traditionally worn black on stage during performances. A black costume was usually chosen as part of their image or stage persona, or because it did not distract from the music, or sometimes for a political reason. Country-western singer Johnny Cash always wore black on stage. In 1971, Cash wrote the song "Man in Black", to explain why he dressed in that color: "We're doing mighty fine I do suppose / In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes / But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back / Up front there ought to be a man in black."

The Duke of Windsor was the first to wear midnight blue rather than black evening dress, which looked blacker than black in artificial light.

Black in other cultures

In Japanese culture, kuro (black) is a symbol of nobility, age, and experience, as opposed to shiro (white), which symbolizes serfdom, youth, and naiveté. Thus the black belt is a mark of achievement and seniority in many martial arts, whereas a white belt is worn by a novice. In Japanese culture, black is also associated with honor.

In Japan, white, not black, is associated with death, and is the color of mourning.

In ancient China, black was the symbol of North and Water, one of the main five colors.

Idioms and expressions

In the United States, "Black Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November) is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year. Many Americans are on holiday because of Thanksgiving, and many retailers open earlier and close later than normal, and offer special prices.The day's name originated in Philadelphia sometime before 1961, and originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive downtown pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on that day.[60][61] Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the point in the year that retailers begin to turn a profit, or are "in the black", because of the large volume of sales on that day.[60][62]

"In the black" means profitable. Accountants originally used black ink in ledgers to indicate profit, and red ink to indicate a loss.

Black Friday also refers to an particularly disastrous day on financial markets. The first Black Friday (1869), September 24, 1869, was caused by the efforts of two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk, to corner the gold market on the New York Gold Exchange.

A blacklist is a list of undesirable persons or entities (to be placed on the list is to be "blacklisted").

The black sheep of the family is the ne'er-do-well.

To blackball someone is to block their entry into a club or some such institution. In the traditional English gentlemen's club, members vote on the admission of a candidate by secretly placing a white or black ball in a hat. If upon the completion of voting, there was even one black ball amongst the white, the candidate would be denied membership, and he would never know who had "blackballed" him.

Black tea in the Western culture is known as "crimson tea" in Chinese and culturally influenced languages, (紅 茶, Mandarin Chinese hóngchá; Japanese kōcha; Korean hongcha), perhaps a more accurate description of the color of the liquid.
