Essay Blackpill is neither Red nor Blue

[Depresso]

Black ain’t no color like blue or red — it’s what you get when there’s almost no light reflectin’ back to yo’ eye. Blue and red are specific wavelengths of light; when they hit your eye, your brain says “that’s blue” or “that’s red.” Black happen when them wavelengths ain’t hittin’ your eye much at all, so there ain’t no colour signal for your brain to pick up.

Now, you can take blue or red and make ’em darker by takin’ away light or mixin’ in darker pigments. If you keep takin’ light away, that blue or red look weaker and weaker until it look like black to you — ’cause there ain’t enough light leavin’ the surface to tell your brain it’s blue or red no more.
