The Time of Black People

When the Reds gave birth to a great Idea, and the Oranges calculated everything,
When the Greens added beauty to the endeavor, and the Blues added intellect,
When the Yellows spread the word to the entire world, and the Violets kept the most important part hidden,
When the Brown realized that it would be him who would have to finish everything,
That's when the time of the Black people arrived...

There is strength...

From early childhood, Black individuals stand out for their remarkable strength. They take pleasure in their physical abilities, showcasing them to others through bulging biceps and other well-defined muscles. Their love for physical activity drives them to engage in sports, particularly those that require strength rather than precision or speed. (The latter two qualities are more characteristic of the Oranges, whose favorite sports have always included fencing, shooting, running, rhythmic gymnastics, and so on.) If a Black individual’s profession does not involve intense physical exertion, their inevitable hobby will become the gym or home exercise equipment.

A logical extension of this quality is diligence. This applies not only to physical work but to any type of activity. You may have encountered people who cannot relax or, as they say, do not feel the need for rest. Weekends or vacations become genuine torment for them: they struggle to keep themselves occupied, their bodies "ache" (sometimes accompanied by their souls), and they cannot stop thinking about work, dreaming of the moment they can return to their jobs. For them, the best rest is a change of activity, sports, or time spent with nature.

It often happens that, deeply engrossed in work, a Black person may even forget its purpose — the work process becomes a goal in itself, bringing joy on its own. The extreme manifestations of such behavior are illustrated in the famous anecdote about three workers: the first was digging a hole, the third was filling it back in, while the second fell ill, and no one knew he was supposed to plant a tree.

Frequently, when assigned a task, a Black individual enthusiastically sets about completing it without considering when to stop. Therefore, when delegating work to such a person, it’s crucial to clearly define the limits of the task. If you suggest that they cultivate a garden plot "from here and further," you risk causing conflicts with neighbors or even multiple people at once.

These qualities enable Black individuals to handle monotonous and repetitive tasks effectively, making them invaluable on any "assembly line," whether it involves assembling equipment or performing straightforward work with uniform documents. You can spot a Black child even in a sandbox: while other children build castles and cities with roads, this child takes a bucket and makes a sandcastle. Then they flatten it and make another sandcastle, tirelessly repeating this until the end of their playtime.

… but no need for intellect?

If, after reading these lines, you get the impression that a Black individual lacks intellectual depth, you are completely mistaken. These individuals can become excellent craftsmen: with their hands, they can accomplish tasks that would be impossible for ten representatives of any other vector. However, in intellectual competitions, they usually come up short, which is why they often avoid smart conversations and pretentious people in everyday life.

Simply put, a Black person doesn’t really like to tax their brain (in terms of its internal contents) regarding anything. Studying often becomes a torturous activity for them: they tend to shy away from the flow of information, grasp new material slowly, and find it challenging to learn from books. The most acceptable method of learning for them is practice: they try to do something with their own hands under the guidance of a teacher, and they remember it forever.

Of course, we are talking about an “isolated” Black vector, which is not very common in real life. However, if the Black vector is an “addition” to another, more intellectual combination, it simply adds strength, endurance, and productivity to a person without hindering their cognitive abilities. For instance, a scientist or entrepreneur who also possesses a developed Black vector can become a real workaholic, knowing neither vacations nor days off.

Decisions and Principles

One of the main problems for Black individuals is their inability to make decisions. While a Brown person may take a long time to choose, hesitate, but ultimately reach a unified opinion in their mind, for a Black person, the task of making a choice can sometimes become psychologically unsolvable. When you tell such a person, “Choose and decide for yourself,” you plunge them into a very uncomfortable state that can last indefinitely. Black individuals are always happy to delegate the thinking process to someone else, and most often, they won’t argue against any of the proposed options, as long as they don’t fundamentally contradict their life principles.

Speaking of principles, we already know that some people can easily change their beliefs. Primarily, these are Red individuals, who can shift their views 180 degrees in an hour. Yellow individuals, who live mainly by the principle of pleasure, also fall into this category, as do Green individuals, who can change their opinions based on the mood of those around them (or the recognized leader). We usually don’t know the viewpoints of Blue individuals — they tend to be quiet — and Violet individuals often disguise their views so well that they remain unknown to everyone until the very end. In contrast, Brown and Orange individuals have very stable worldviews and require significant effort to convince them of anything. However, Black individuals stand out in this regard: if they are convinced of something, it is nearly impossible to shift them from that position. “I cannot compromise my principles,” is a classic response from Black individuals when asked to consider the situation from another perspective. Typically, their beliefs stem from deep childhood; what their mother told them often becomes an unchangeable truth. (Perhaps this is why the love for their mother and respect for her opinion remain with Black individuals into old age).

We Are Together!

One of the most important psychological qualities of Black people is their strong inclination toward society, often referred to as the "sense of shoulder." They feel comfortable and carefree in a crowd, where decisions do not need to be made: everyone obeys external guidance and bears no responsibility. This is why Black individuals like mass events such as demonstrations and rallies. In any other endeavor, it is also very important for them to be close to someone — whether at a short distance or even in close proximity.

The desire to "feel the shoulder" of their conversation partner sometimes leads to characteristic behavior in personal interactions. A Black person may occasionally touch you during a conversation, pat you on the shoulder, or even tug at your sleeve or button. It should be noted that Black individuals tend to maintain minimal distance while communicating and often approach their conversation partner very closely. This might be an unconscious desire to reduce the distance to the point where they derive maximum pleasure, similar to experiencing public transport during rush hour. Yes, surprisingly, some people (especially those who do not engage in physical labor) feel much more energetic and cheerful after a trip in a crowded trolleybus.

Simplicity and Comfort

In everyday life, Black people are modest and unpretentious.

They like to eat heartily but aren’t particularly picky about the food. For them, the primary requirement is that the food be nourishing and energy-rich. Once they settle into a preferred diet, they may stick with it for life, and any disruption to their usual eating habits, whether due to external circumstances or otherwise, can be a source of great frustration. The sheer quantity of food a Black person can consume at one sitting often amazes individuals from other vectors, except for those with the Yellow vector, who can match the Black in their love for indulgence. However, for Yellow people, flavor and variety in food are of much greater importance.

Black people also maintain a simple approach toward clothing and everyday items: things need to be durable and functional, with little regard for decoration. They don't follow fashion trends, opting instead for sturdy clothing that allows for freedom of movement. At the extreme, this preference often manifests in the love of tracksuits, which are notably popular among certain social groups, especially Black individuals.

The most critical element for their comfort is a sense of physical security. Despite their remarkable strength, Black people have a psychological need for protection and tend to fear open spaces. They prefer being in small, enclosed spaces with tiny windows and only feel comfortable in larger areas when surrounded by a crowd. Black individuals often build their homes with impenetrable fences made of the sturdiest materials, even if there is no real threat. They also tend to sleep close to walls, curled up (in a fetal position) or with the covers pulled over their heads, seeking that sense of enclosure and safety.

Loyalty and Vulnerability

When it comes to emotional qualities, Black people stand out for their extreme trust and loyalty. They are the most loyal employees of all the eight vectors — true patriots of their company. They love to work hard, are willing to overcome all difficulties alongside their colleagues, and won’t demand unjustified raises. For them, the worst punishment is the absence of work or the feeling of being unnecessary in the workplace.

Losing a job or going through other life crises (such as the death of a loved one or the departure of a significant other) hits the Blacks particularly hard, as if they’ve lost the very ground beneath their feet. It can take a long time for them to grasp “how to live from now on.”

It’s worth noting that Black individuals are some of the most reliable friends you can have. They are always ready to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of a close friend. In fact, this tendency to put the interests of others above their own is present in any group setting — whether at school, university, or work. Perhaps this is why some leaders, especially those with questionable intentions, like to surround themselves with Black people, as they are highly obedient and easy to manage.

Another notable quality of Black people is their respect for law and order. The only question is which law they choose to follow. The options can vary widely, from universal or religious laws to state or even criminal laws. It all depends on the values they internalized in childhood, which, as you remember, rarely change.

One of the more unpleasant traits of the Black vector, rooted deep in the unconscious, is a tendency towards self-injury. Despite their strength, these individuals often have bruises, cuts, broken bones, or dislocated joints. This doesn’t happen because, like Red people, they throw themselves headlong into danger. Rather, Black people seem to have a physical sense that objects around them — trees, furniture, or even people — should naturally move out of their way. This sensation doesn’t lend itself to rational analysis, as it comes from an unconscious sense of their own power and significance. For example, they might slam a car door into their head while getting out with too much force, or walk down the street (sober), get lost in thought, and walk right into a pole.

Speaking of sobriety, Black people have an interesting trait: they can drink a lot without getting visibly drunk or developing alcoholism. At a certain point, they simply "shut down" and peacefully fall asleep. This is likely due to the way their liver processes alcohol — producing enzymes quickly and in large amounts.

Another interesting characteristic of Black people is their special connection to the earth. Regardless of age or social status, many of them love gardening and dream of living in the countryside or becoming a farmer. Black individuals are naturally aligned with nature. They are true "early birds," preferring to rise and go to bed with the sun. They are excellent at navigating through the wilderness and seem incapable of getting lost in a forest. They feel the warmth and energy of the earth, and by interacting with it, they replenish their strength.

How to Interact with Black People

When it comes to communication, Black people aren't known for being particularly talkative. They don’t enjoy digging for hidden meanings or deciphering subtext. Their speech tends to be simple and monotonous, mainly used for exchanging basic information.

Sometimes, they may struggle to find the right words, filling pauses with interjections or connecting phrases just to keep the conversation going.

As for humor, it's not their strongest suit, so be careful when joking around them — you might end up with a black eye. They generally appreciate classic military-style humor ("Fall down, push up," etc.), but other types of jokes often irritate them. 

Do you remember the question from the test: “It’s hard to get me angry, but if you do, you better watch out”? This applies not only to humor but also to overly intellectual conversations in their presence, or any kind of persistent teasing. Don’t test their patience. They have a lot of it, but once it runs out, things can escalate quickly.

The magic words when interacting with Black people are "need" and "must." If these words come from someone they trust, they won’t waste time asking "Why do I need to?" or "Who says I must?" If their leader says, "This needs to be done," Black will respond with a firm "Got it!" and get to work without further questions.

Appearance

The classic appearance of Black people is familiar to many, often associated with those who live in tracksuits. They typically have a strong, solid build, well-developed muscles, and broad shoulders that seem to blend smoothly into their heads. Notably, early baldness is common among representatives of the Black vector.

They exude a sense of stability and immovability. Their legs are often set apart, their gait slow and steady, with broad steps. Sometimes they walk with a slight waddle. Occasionally, their movements can seem stiff or awkward, as if they are afraid of accidentally breaking the world around them. Their firm handshakes often cause discomfort to those who carelessly offer a limp hand.

Their facial expressions are not particularly rich, and they gesture minimally. Their movements are large and energetic. A characteristic feature is their deep, resonant laughter, as if coming from deep within their powerful bodies.

Creator or Destroyer?

If Black people find a constructive outlet for their natural inclinations — engaging in physical labor, sports, and living in a stable environment — they become some of the healthiest individuals, both physically and mentally, across all eight vectors. They rarely get sick, are emotionally resilient, experience no significant mood swings, and enjoy deep, restful sleep. In many ways, they can be seen as exemplars of a healthy lifestyle.

However, if the Black vector is not channeled into a peaceful or productive direction, aggressive impulses and a destructive drive may begin to surface. This stems from the hidden, unconscious aggressive potential within Black people, which typically helps them achieve their goals with strength and determination. But when this energy is misdirected, the Black person can become a force of destruction, turning from a powerful creator into a monstrous destroyer, capable of extreme physical aggression in critical situations.

This latent potential is what makes them so effective in military roles, particularly on the front lines. Throughout history, they have produced true heroes, capable of taking on overwhelmingly larger enemy forces. It’s no coincidence that one of the most important traits of the Black vector is "fearless courage," which activates in certain circumstances, driving them toward their goal even in the face of mortal danger.

Today, these are the people who thrive in military service, especially in conflict zones where every day could be their last. At times, it seems they have a special affinity for situations where life constantly teeters on the edge of death. But every war eventually ends, and the unconscious destructive potential remains, sometimes carried into civilian life. Unfortunately, many struggle to adapt to peaceful, creative work, often finding themselves capable of doing only what war has taught them…
