Wow, sounds some-what racist. Maybe it looks good on their skin.  But purple also represents royalty.

Are you referring to the color purple as in the color, or The Color Purple as in the movie?

If you're referring to the color, I don't think it's a race thing.  Lots of people like it.

If you're referring to the movie, try watching it.

Ah, me thinks it's a passing thing, something popular.  I'd suggest ask the next that walks by.  It might be his-her personal preference.
-------------------------
Purple is/has typically been used to symbolize, at one time or another, European royalty, J.Christ, hippies (along with patchouli), homosexuality, etc..  Go figure.  Blacks and the purple?  Maybe because of the movie, but it might be just you, too.

I used to work for a car dealership and you just could not sell a black car to a black person. Purple? I bet you could not sell anything at all if it was purple to a black person. Maybe because its too close to the color black.
