White is Beautiful. Black is Beautiful. White Power. Black Power.

Power defined as beautiful. I'm going to say no. Power and beauty correlate for a second but it's fleeting. Power is the reason there is a difference between black and white. Someone in power said we're different. We is not them. Power is hideous. But powerlessness is horrible too. It's a paradox. Power means you have control. That you have authority but over what? When power is said no one means power over the self. That's freedom. Power by itself means control over others. If someone is powerful that automatically translates to someone is being forced to be weaker. Is that beauty? White and black shouldn't be used that way. White and black have been used in multiple kinds of context. Color, race, but my favorite is light. White light is created by the mixture of all the color spectrums, think Pink Floyd. Black is the absence of light. In those terms it's simple and logical, but when applied to people it's fatal. If there is black, white cannot exist. If there is white, it's imposed on the black. So what do we do? It's time that we focus less on the extremes and concentrate on the in between. The color.
