Get the Black Collarmug. Crimes committed by religious leaders/members of the clergy. It's usually covered up by members of the religion in order to "protect the faith" by not exposing the hypocrisy of judgemental bigots (like when homophobic pastor Ted Haggard got caught buying meth from the male prostitute he hired).

Get the black collar crimemug. Black Collar is co-equivalent with white collar given the heat generating properties of the color black when worn, meaning that Black Collar signifies an indoor labor class. Not to mention since the word 'collar' signals the near rhyme 'color' , Black Collar signifies the end of merely white-supremacist 'collar' or 'color' dualities, such as white collar and blue collar.
Black Collar workers are often breaking from the norm by wearing more colorful and artistic clothing to the workplace. It is thought that Black Collar is post-metaphorical in nuance, and signifies something apart from the word 'black' traditionally used to describe racial identity.

Get the Black Collarmug. A black collar is like a gray collar, you can take it off whenever you feel like it, and you don't feel confined to the same blue or white collar everybody else has always tried to put around your neck or their own neck (since it sounds like a way to put somebody on a leash, or make yourself look like you're on somebody else's leash even when you're really not). That's probably why you never hear about a black collar or a grey collar, the wrong people have always used white and blue collars to ostracize or control the minds of everybody that doesn't call themself blue or white collar, or try to fit in one or the other group.
