For clarification, I wish to demonstrate the point I made towards the end of my reply: Premise1: Black is beautiful. Premise 2: There are other colours besides black. Conclusion: Other colours are not beautiful. It is obvious that, based on the stated premises, which are both true, that such a conclusion is invalid. I am sure that you can see the flaw in such an argument. I never said that the qualities I specified are UNIQUE to black people ONLY. Have a wonderful day!
