  The part you are missing, given the premise either good or 
evil and not good leaves us with evil. 
  However, as I pointed out to you before and Clarence, 
one, can't use such arguments to distinguish -between- 
non-classes when such classes are more than one. 
    In the example you gave, you made a statement to 
distinguish amoung non-white which as I wrote previously 
is ILLOGICAL as it contains more than one.  
 
Take care, 
John
