>in english, seeing black is a finance colloquialism at best. at worst, its a pejorative for racist tendencies. im guessing its a different sentiment in Germany entirely. Are you a native speaker? I've never heard 'seeing black' said in a racial sense. It is however colloquially used (in the UK at least). I think it's also an idiom in German (my wife, a German, uses it often). Also not in a racist sense - also simply meaning, to 'see nothing good about' something.
