Actually listened to an interesting lecture on the ancient far east. The White = good and black = bad had originated from the people of the Levant originally, and I mean a long time ago, like before 600BC long ago.
I don't deny that there's historical things to be said about light being good and darkness being bad. That definitely has nothing to do with racism. I have nothing against yin and yang etc
But modern America has a modern lens, not a 600BC lens. Why ignore that?
