White Black Doesn't Matter

Coding privilege as white and oppression as black is outdated but politically useful.
These days anyone can be white, so long as they're guilty of something, and anyone can be black, so long as they're innocent of something they're accused of doing. Those racial codes of oppression are almost as sacred to its wielders as the ghost of JFK and Woodstock. But they mean nothing. No one is innocent anymore, if they ever were. Black men sailed slave ships and white men died to free them. Slavery and the resistance to it was not coded by color, but by character. -- Daniel Greenfield

Your Say

Shar - Hi Elizabeth,I was wondering if you can help me out I'm just beiginnng to make my hobby of photography a little business and still learning.I was wondering how you make your black & white photos a nice rich colour. I find when I play around with the Hues/Saturation, it's very flat or if it's too dark it overshadows features is there another program that can be used?Cheers,Shar
