I read that article...on the clothes...that is interesting that they crushed seashells to make the dye...I have never heard of this...I assumed most dyes were made from berries, fruits and flowers.

Purple itself represents so many things e.g. Purple is composed of two colors uniting which are red & blue,red & blue can represent hot & cold joining in the Taoist yin-yang principle,or even the Bloods(31) & crips(21) uniting for peace or last but not least the world uniting black & white for global peace.
My favorite colors are all united & mixed with different colors...fav colors are Turquoise,Fuschia,Lilac.....Back to Purple,it's a very Aristocratic passionate sensual color but if you think that only gentle people are into purple,today a rap group called Dipset flag Purple as the gang color for Purple City Byrd Gang,which is a set of the Bloods.
For me Mehmet Bruce Krom or Bruce Krom,the color Purple signifies love,unity,spirituality & sensuality.
Purple as I clarified can have so many different meanings for so many different people which I think is amazing how one thing can get turned around to fit anybody or anything....I have alot of Purple tattooed on my arm on the Anubis Egyptian carrier of the dead,purple looks good in ink too,lol
Plus don't forget purple skies which are quite eye-catching,when day turns into night or vice-versa.
Sincerely always,
Bruce Krom

Yes, it's interesting in a loving way, acceptance of life's beautiful variety is a death to linez that seperate us as individualz.

I don't support gang violence. However I support the pride of the colors they would choose to wear if it iz 4 a good cause. And I love the basics of accepting that we were born of two stripez from our parents...and so were they...and a mitosis so on and so on.

That is what understanding the Z meanz to me.

Violence is never an answer or a solution,it is merely a vicious cycle of one of that loser satan's tricks to demolish mankind.....I used to have friends in gangs in high school,but the Lord God Almighty has changed my life around & the Lord has ordered me for a different future.I wanna give a big up to my man LiL Black & the rest of the raspberries & all the fallen soldiers from all gangs R.I.P. I saw friends die,get locked up for life e.t.c.,what is needed is more positive role models & activities for kids from broken homes to prevent this vicious cycle of self-destruction.Trust me,when you have nobody to lean on as a child & the world is on your shoulders,joining a gang is very appealing & a family that adopts you & looks after you,& loyalty is something understood with gangs because your fellow members in your set would die 4 U in a heartbeat.I think it's sad how nobody cares in this world,while children are dying & some politicians were put on earth to protect us,but who protects us from them???No justice,No peace!!!!Don't get me wrong,I love this World we live in,but let's not turn it into a racist,sexist,communist,fascist & corrupt World like something from a sci-fi movie from the future burning people's art paintings & anything representing freedom or democracy,
It's also interesting to see how people use anything to suit any situation,as the saying goes'it's not what you do or say,but HOW you do it or say it:)
PS Purple is also used in the wars(Purple heart medal),For me Bruce Krom or Mehmet Bruce Krom,Purple is just used in so many ways:)People of a higher intelligence know exactly what I'm talking about
