I've always seen purple as a vibrant color full of energy, something that symbolizes life to me.  Isn't it odd how our perceptions differ about these things person to person and culture to culture?

I'm white and I've actually been told that I couldn't have any problems by more than one race. The only thing I can say, is that good and bad comes in all of God's colors as well as narrow minds. God gave us choice and sometimes people chose to believe what is easist to belive in order to release themselves of all responsibilty to a current situation or life situation. The other thing is that you are actually perpetuating the cycle by making a blanket statement. I do not have to be black to know in my heart, that not all black people think this way even though I did experenced exactly what you're talking about.

This is sad, but true...\n\nWe live a society now a days where violence and hate is common. Television shows depict acts of hate, rage, murder and etc...\n\nThe word nigg@ depicts all of the acts and many more. Many people know that the word is hurtful, but use it just for that reason.  \n\nIt is not what African American leaders can do, but what can good people, regardless of color do to stop a downward decline of the moral fabric of this country. \n\nWe can start by loving our children and spending time teaching them values.  Then we teach them how to have respect for other people and good manners, which now a days is very much so lacking in our society.  \nPeace...

I have never met all the Koreans in the world so I can't come to those conclusions just based on my own experiences. People are individuals not colors..

I agree that this can be subjective. For example, they say that when it comes to flowers, each color signifies a meaning. Red = Warmth & Love. White=Peace. Yellow=Jealousy. Purple= Elegance and so on. As for the colors on flags red= blood, war, violence. Green=richness. Black= courage and so forth.

i think this is one of the best almost all black people know this:\n\nfrom the color purple- "you told harpo to beat me. all my life i had to fight. i had to fight my daddy, i had to fight my uncles. a girl child ain't safe in a house of mens. i loves harpo, lord knows i do, but i'll kill him dead before i let him beat me."

BLACK!\nAs much as it is used and identified negatively to symbolize death, fear, sadness, evil .. etc. \nBut to me it's different, i see it as a symbol of Strength and Confidence, and also mystery and ambiguity! And even the negativity surrounding it seems to add to its charm!\n\nIt's perfection!

Oh yeah, cute alright. Kinda like a kola before it rips your eyes out. \nIt is sad but that just goes to show all the people that keep asking "why is racism still around"? Because ignorant people teach ignorence to their kids.

A question back at you: Is the people eater purple or does he only eat purple people?  I might have met one in the 60's, but is kind of a blur.

No... Being dark is attractive, and people of color don't have to deal with skin cancer, or tanning booths. So let's just consider them lucky. They're not trying to "copy" anyone, it's just always been perceived as "exotic" and "sexy" to be dark.

coming from a Romani back ground I think its nice that you have mentioned the gypsies that died too.\nso many bad things happen in the world and its hard to see the point of it all, I do however remind myself, if its getting me down, that there has to be more good in the world than bad else it would be alot worse and its only the bad stuff that we get to hear about, when was the last or only time you heard how someone did something nice or selfless? but i know they happen.

I notice you don't call them "friends"-good! I'm sorry to say that prejudging is a human frailty.Color is not the only thing that is pre-judged. People will always be afraid of anything that goes against their own ideas on how life should be lived. It's a shame too,many may have passed up a person who would have been a true friend.

Historically, the color purple has been associated with royalty and power, but did you know that the secret of its power lies in the glands of tiny shellfish creatures?\n\nI first heard about this on some History Channel special about a year ago.   And the following is from a web site that has the full history of the color purple:\n\n"The earliest archaeological evidence for the origins of purple dyes points to the Minoan civilization in Crete, about 1900 B.C. The ancient land of Canaan (its corresponding Greek name was Phoenicia, which means “land of the purple”) was the center of the ancient purple dye industry.\n\n“Tyrian Purple,” the purple dye of the ancients mentioned in texts dating back to about 1600 B.C., was produced from the mucus of the hypobranchial gland of various species of marine mollusks, notably Murex. It took some 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye. Legend credits its discovery to Herakles, or rather to his dog, whose mouth was stained purple from chewing on snails along the Levantine coast. King Phoenix received a purple-dyed robe from Herakles and decreed the rulers of Phoenicia should wear this color as a royal symbol."
