Army’s Apache under assault: PC police call helicopter’s name racist
Veterans aren’t happy with a recent op-ed by the Washington Post, which charged that the Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa military vehicles were a “greater symbolic injustice” than the NFL’s Washington Redskins’ name.
“Even if the NFL and Redskins brass come to their senses and rename the team, a greater symbolic injustice would continue to afflict Indians — an injustice perpetuated not by a football club but by our federal government,” Simon Waxman of the Boston Review wrote for the Post on Thursday.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Crayola got rid of indian red a long time ago. Along with the color flesh , which was changed to peach.
Thanks for the update. I've been boycotting Crayola for years, so my children were not exposed to such overt racism. Did they get rid of the black crayon? It should be called absence of color so not to offend.

It seems Cicero is doomed to always be wrong, no matter what the subject. Black is the combination of ALL PRIMARY COLORS, not the absense of colors.

Question: Why is there an absence of the colors brown, black, and white in the rainbow?
Replies: OK. A rainbow is white light seen through a prism (the prism being the raindrops). The prism breaks the light into all the colors that make up white - so you do not see white because white is a combination of colors. Black is an absence of light, so it is not in the rainbow. Brown is a combination of rainbow colors, so you do not see it in the rainbow.
The rainbow (red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet) occurs because light (from the sun) gets scattered by the presence of moisture in the sky. Those rain (or smaller) drops break white light into its component colors. Blackness means as ABSENCE of color, or an absence of light being reflected from a surface. We see a blue car as "BLUE" because light hitting it is mostly absorbed....the only color reflected is blue (or a combination of blues/green, etc. depending on the exact SHADE of blue). Something appears BLACK if all light hitting it is absorbed and none is reflected...i.e. the ABSENCE of color or reflected light. You can see that color combinations DO occur in the rainbow , for example orange (combo, of red and yellow which are adjacent colors in the rainbow--due to their comparative wavelength as light. Red is the longest wavelength of the visible light colors in the rainbow, violet is the shortest. A brown color is a color combination of red, orange and green--those colors are not adjacent in the visible colors of a rainbow so they do not combine to form a visible brown. The colors which normally make up the BROWN color, however, ARE ALL PRESENT in a rainbow, but are not present in the color combination we call brown. By the way, did you ever notice there are always 2 rainbows visible when present..on is more intense, the other is frequently very very pale, but is present in opposite color order of its partner!

Actually, the relation between true colors and what we perceive as colors is very complicated. There was an article in "Physics Today" about a year ago that described the perception of light in detail. Our perception of something as a particular color depends on the overall light level, for one thing (colors look different in very dim light as you may have noticed). What a rainbow or a prism does is break down light into "pure" single wavelengths, and the colors of the rainbow include all the different possible wavelengths of visible light. But they do not include a lot of colors that we perceive, because those perceived colors are actually combinations of the pure wavelengths (and in fact, many different combinations of pure wavelengths can combine to give the same perceived color, although again this depends on light level and other factors). So brown, pink, white, and lots of those colors you see in paint color samples are not visible in rainbows because they cannot be produced by a pure wavelength - they require at least two.

As stated in senders post above - black is absence of color or absence of light. You don't put black light(which doesn't exist, it's ultraviolet) through a prism and separate out all the primary colors. After it rains at night, box sees rainbows.
C'mon box...try not to make yourself look so silly. Your brain is filled with black information - or absence of information. LOL!
Now let's get back to the topic and the racist army you were a part of. Have you ever flown in any of these racist helicopters?

The combination of the 3 primary colors results in white, dumbasss.
You could not be any more wrong.
He isnt wrong.
When you make color by mixing pigments and dye it is very easy to make black. this is the way most people understand color. when using pigments to make a color the color that is in the light gets grabbed by the pigment. The rest of the colors ( which in in the light ) are reflected. The outside of an apple is coated with a pigment that reflects all of the light except the reddish.
When yu make color with light you can make white . But Yu will need equipment that will allow yu to layer different color light. - read up
There is no source of darkness in this universe. There is only the presence of light and the absence of it.
Box's statement is that "black is not the absence of light."
When in fact, it is exactly that.
Something that appears black to the human eye is something that reflects no colors.(or very little)
Let me simplify this for both you and box.
Climb into a box.
Put it in another box to make sure no light is getting in.
Do you see black or white?
Black is the absence of light.
Mix all the pigments you guys want inside the box, but you will never produce any color except for black.(which is the absence of color)
SOMEBODY specifically stated "pigments", and he is correct!

Here's a simple way to show how black is made: Combine all three primary colors (red yellow and blue) using a liquid paint or even food coloring. You won't get a jet black, but the point will be clear. The history of black pigments includes charcoal, iron metals, and other chemicals as the source of black paints. Resource: History of Pigments
Therefore, if someone argues that black is the absence of color, you can reply, “What is in a tube of black paint?” However, you must add the fact that black is a color when you are referring to the color of pigments and the coloring agents of tangible objects.

Yes, and none of the color of the light spectrum reflects off of black. Pigments don't make color, the light that reflects off of the pigments that your eye sees is color. When you look at black, you are not seeing all the colors of the spectrum at once, you are seeing none of them. Or an absence of light.
