i fear we may soon realize "black noise."

that is bad as the terms: "a heart as black as sin", "it was the
blackest day of my life", "his black deeds were indicative of his
nature", all demonstrate

black is bad

Does this mean that it is no longer a good thing when a business has it's
books "in the black" ??
