I didn’t know there were “Black Polar Bears”.

Actually, all polar bears are black. They just look white because of their fur, which, oddly enough, isn't white but transparent -- some trick of light.

(Don't know how this applies to the topic at hand, but thought it interesting.)

Does this have any bearing on Nancy Pelosi’s looks?
