COLOR IS A PIGMENT

"Color"--black, white, otherwise--is not itself indicative of personal merit or worth. Instead, "color" is a pigment to which societal values are ascribed. "Color" is not spiritual virtue but material pigment. "Color" is not inside but outside. Virtue, divine righteousness in words and deeds, therefore, are far better to be continually sought out, found and daily applied, than imputed color characteristics are to be boasted of, whatever the "color."
