They are bleaching the robes they wear.
White is the absence of color. Black absorbs all colors.
Black is the color that absorbs the most light (that is why it is black -- because all colors of light are absorbed and so none are reflected back to your eye, making it look black). White reflects all colors of light, and so absorbs the least amount of light.

All colors of light are absorbed and become black. They welcome all colors. The white just reflects and does not absorb those that are different.
White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light.

White contains all visible wavelengths, and therefore contains all colors.

(18 posts)6. I agree with you about what you said about blacks being more welcoming
When I'm in a white neighborhood it's clear that they are unwelcoming, hostile, xenophobic and threatening to people who aren't white. It's very scary.
On the other hand, in a predominantly black (or African-American) neighborhood people are very open and welcoming, and the vibe is just overall way more relaxed and open; just doggone friendly and SAFE! I love black people...
