What's up with black people and the color purple?

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

I mean, is there a history to it? I'm curious.

Black

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.

It is a superstition that blue gum or purple gum black people have special powers

True "Africans" are so black that they have a purple tinge to the skin, My Great, Great Grandmother was Bantu(South Africa)I met her when i was 8.

I dunno, but sometimes I see the bruthas on the train wearin all yellow or orange or red, I mean head to toe all one bright @ss color, shirt, pants, shoes, hat. I think they like being seen but it just makes my eyes hurt.
