Is there anyway that you can change the black to some other color?  Everytime I see a site using a black background and white text I see when I look away from the monitor I see is white and black stripes.  Please can you do this?  Thank you.

I disapprove of websites using solar flare versions of White all over everything. But I guess I can't really argue that a choice between the 2, would not be a bad thing.

I like the color the way it is.  But I think they're working on it.

Hmm that looks alright, not as blinding as some sites.

I would rather not waste my battery, consume needlessly electricity, and ruin my fucking eyes by looking at a glaring white screen.

Sounds to me like you're staring at your screen too long. I don't see stripes when I look away from my monitor. For every twenty minutes spent looking at a screen you should spend at least twenty seconds looking at something at least twenty feet away (like out a window at some trees, or the house across the street).

The mythical white site.
 
Man that has been "almost ready" to launch for like 8 months. Still, they need to take their time with it since I'm pretty sure the last version temporarily blinded me.

@HanssenTheMighty:
The only problem with this idea is that: The WHOLE site is black or red, with white text. 
White websites look terrible and very unfinished. It'd look like they couldn't be bothered to do anything with the extra space. 
Black looks clean and smooth. 
White look's lazy and sloppy. 
 
EDIT a minute after making post: 
 
I just checked the Comic Vine site. White ain't as bad as I thought. But maybe I'm secretly a goth that's not a goth but loves the site how it is in all it's Black glory. I just think it's more visually appealing.

I am asking this for people that wear glasses and those are color blind.  People need to make sites friendly to those people that are color blind.

It's not the refresh rate on your screen is it? I know someone who's sensitive to so she sees weird things when she looks at the screen. That aside, I'm unsure of what you're suffering from. (Please don't take that the wrong way.)

I prefer the black background with white text personally, but I know some people prefer black on white. I didn't know Giant Bomb were working on it, so I learned something from this thread at the very least.

After months of not visiting giantbomb much as the sites colours make my eyeballs hurt, I have finally found a solutions for Chrome, the extension "Change Colors" 
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jbmkekhehjedonbhoikhhkmlapalklgn# 
Ctrl-Shift-D now makes all of giantbomb black text on white like most of the websites I visit. It is just a shame it takes a third party extention to make this site eyeball friendly.

I heard Gamebomb is working on being able to change the colors of their site to every shade of grey, also they are far in the development of other great advance technologies such as Vertical Ascension Devices.
