No. Humans have always been able to see colour. Although there are certain colours invisible to the human eye.

Television capability back in the '50s and '60s meant programmes were shown in black and white. As technology advanced we were able to see some of the shows, etc. that were formerly in in color. Such as the The Andy Griffith Show.

Why can't white people call black people black but black people can call white people white?

I think it's because being African American is a minority compared to being white. [[edit]] It's because white people have been the dominant race in the past and subjected other races to bad treatment so I believe if we say something to them it is seen as reminiscant of that. However, calling someone black isn't offensive because it's just a fact (although some ignorant people may incorrectly class it as racism). Unless you say it in an offensive way that implies they are below you. [[edit]]

Are black people really invisible in the dark?

No, black people are not invisible in the dark; no more than a white person is invisible in the light. If one cannot see someone who is black in the dark, it is more likely because human eyes are not made to see in the dark, so it would be hard to see anyone of any race.

African Americans migrated north in the early 1900s mainly because of?

Whether it was true or not, black people came to believe things would be better for them if they moved up north, and especially to northeastern states like New York and Pennsylvania. The south was segregated by law, and this severely limited opportunities for black people, who were restricted in where they could go to school, what occupations they could enter, where they could travel, when or if they could go to a library or shop at a store, and above all, how much money they could earn. Up north, there were more opportunities to get an education, find a job, make a living, and have a more comfortable life.While the north had so-called "de facto" segregation (by custom, rather than by law), there were no laws forbidding black people from studying (many colleges did admit them), nor were they restricted as to which occupations they entered (black lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, and business-people found acceptance). And while there were certainly ghettos in the North (and plenty of white people who were prejudiced), conditions in black neighborhoods were perceived as better than they were in the south, and many white people were fine about having a black colleague or a black customer. Further, the ability of black and white people to mingle meant talented black artists, sculptors, playwrights, musicians and poets could sometimes attract a white audience: during the 1920s, for example, the Harlem Renaissance occurred, and white people were able to see and appreciate black talent and creativity; in addition, black performers were often heard on white-owned radio stations, where they gained great popularity and earned more money than they might have in the south.
