Technically speaking black (and white for that matter) is not a colour. It's absense of colour. |

I don't think he cares about anyone but himself, his family and his base constituency, i.e. the top 2% that he catered to with his tax cuts. |

Yes it is. It's reflecting only a subset of the lightwave frequencies that we can see. That's what being coloured is. If something reflects no lightwaves of these frequencies then it's a black object, and if it reflects an equal amount of each then it's a gray object (or white if it reflects 100% of the lightwaves). |

| @ Trancaholic: Quick question, why is white not a color then? (I studies all this stuff in high school physics ages ago and have forgoton most of it). Unless there's a frequency that is just green (i.e. green != blue + yellow), wouldn't white be a color then too? |
