Conservapedia (Self-proclaimed as "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia"): Wearing black means you hate God
From their "young mass murderers" page:

"wore all black, indicative of anti-Christianity"

"denial of significance of all-black clothing by a teenager"

"wore all black to carry out his massacre"

"Feigned shock at the fact that the gunman didn't "fit" the typical mold of a killer, when in fact the gunman wore all black and was taught at a public school."

"Targeted Christmas shoppers; wore black"

"wore black"

"Wore black entirely, literally from head to toe; stopped only when a teacher pulled off his black mask"

Wow.

2. Finally - an impartial reference for conservatives
because as Stephen Colbert and everyone else knows, the truth has a well-known liberal bias

11. And logical rational thought runs screaming from the presence of conservatives.
I wear black because I can't find anything darker. God and I have a don't bug me and I won't bug you relationship. It works out well.

26. Something like that :)
Actually, I am agnostic. I believe that what or whoever (if such an entity exists) that created all that ever was, is and will be would be by definition so vast and intelligent that my ability to understand him/her/it would equivalent to the bacteria in my body trying to understand this post. Utterly unable.

I am fairly sure that if s/he/it exists s/he/it doesn't give an obese rodent hindquarters what color I wear.

4. Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

10. I wear a lot of black too.
My wife says I look good in it (except for the dandruff problem).

I think it helps me professionally.

And I do not hate God--on the contrary . . .

16. The only entertaining thing at Conservapedia is their "most viewed" pages tally:
It's always a rotation of the same few "controversial" topics, but its interesting to see what their readers consider the "most interesting".

Atheism...............4,857,780 views
Homosexuality........ 3,470,325
Barack Hussein Obama..1,314,737
Wikipedia.............. 863,953
Sarah Palin.............734,811
Adolf Hitler............706,150
Liberal.................656,305
Examples of Bias in Wikipedia..636,202
Homosexuality and MRSA.........

20. The Fashion Police never stop, do they?
People insist on being superficial, and without ever realizing it. The same teenager who wears all black one day, and the next day wears pastels is the same person.

Maybe the teenager in a seersucker powder blue suit has upside down pentagrams drawn all over themselves, and who would know? The stupidity never ends.

21. "Was taught at a public school."
Wow, they don't even try to hide their hatred, do they?

And people wonder why I don't go to church any more, why would I want to identify myself with anything that comes close to that?

22. People wear black to funerals 'cause they're all hating on God.
Right mighty pissed off when God takes one of their own, ain't they.

25. Gee, guess what color I'm wearing today
Black pants & black T-shirt with black shoes. I suppose the red shirt and red earrings could temper it a bit, though.

27. Well, if I ever snap and go on a killing spree
I'll be sure to wear my most garish Hawaiian shirt and a ballcap that says, "Kiss Me I'm Irish," on it just to break the stereotype.

31. I guess priests are just mass murders waiting to happen then or
does having the white collar nullify the effects of the black clothes?

they should call this, "idio-pedia"
