Well, Black & White are a definate motif of the show, and can be interpretted as Good & Evil, or Light & Dark. Each needs the other - you cannot define good (or white or light) without having evil (or black or dark) - otherwise you must define it as something else. Ben insists that he is "one of the good guys" which means he believes there are BAD guys, but if he and Richard Alpert wiped out the bad guys (the Dharma Initiative people) who is Ben speaking of now?
