why darkness is always associated with evil

[Goljano Lion]

Dark Vader in star wars is from the dark side,Harry potter, it is Lord Voldemort who is the lord of darkness etc, we know darkness is the absences of light, but why not whiteness is not associated with devlish things?

[AbuShabab]

If we are talking about dark skin, I don't associate it with evil. But whiteness can be associated with devilish things. For example, it was white people who ignited and carried out WWI & WWII in which tens millions of people were killed.

most of the western world's ideas of good(white)/bad(black)can be traced to Christianity

In Japan Black = good and White = bad, for example in the Yin-Yang, Yin is the white side, typically associated with negative traits, Yang is the black, and is typically associated with good traits.

it all comes down to our evolutionary heritage... back in the caveman/woman period when things went dark predators were out and hunting 4meet... also cuz theres no electricity (obviously) no light meant they were very vulnerable

+

Also religion.... heaven + clouds + angels = all white

so darkness is based on fear, and i am i supposed to be scared of the dark but not the light.

Nowadays any 1 whos scared of the dark is ridiculed .... but imagine a time where there was no light... full of predators .... and no knowledge of your surrounding and the outside world...

Look at a child 4example why do they ask 4 some 1 to leave the light on cuz the darkness = unseen = suspicion = fear

its human nature

Your reasoning is flawed. How do you suppose the caveman/woman lived in caves? And how was the caveman vulnerable in his own cave from predators?

since the caves were dark, why would they be scared of their surroundings, it doesn't make any sense, i think it has to do with religion cos in religious terms, dark is associated with evil and white is associated with goodness

In addition, the caveman was already using fire for illumination and scaring off animals during that period.

I think the cause of your self-defeating questions might arise from your lack of interest in finding out the nuances of cultural beliefs or what is known as Moral Relativism instead of Moral Truth. The less you know, the more susceptible you are to the subliminal messages of media biases. Would you believe If I say that English isn't the mother tongue of Ireland or Irish people.

You reminded me of the movie , Boomerang by Eddie Murphy, Grace Jones, Halle Berry, Martin Lawrence and other entertaining romp. Remember when Eddie and Martin come to the pool table and talk of the mechanics of the game in racial terms and Eddie and the other dude make fun of Martin for his wild beliefs and low self-esteem that he might need of woman for his cure.

Thats just load of crap.

Darkness is fearful..its human nature.. just look at the Quran.. "Mina Thulumati Ila nuur" its referenced so many times.

How about the white colour?? the prophet CSW recomended for whatever reason that his followers wear white dishsasha and Cimaama..
Does that mean black cimaama is bad?? No..but white is preferred for scientifical and spiritual reasons combined ..most of the times.

You must have listened to too much Malcom X tapes..whe he was a black radical.
