Filter options of games

Hi,

In the Lobby there are options to filter out, time-control, ratings and variants.
But there is no option to filter out black or white games?
Say I want to practize my skills as black, to play white opponents only? How do I do that?
If you do not have such a filter, can you implement one in the future?
Thanks
Wouldn't everyone pick white nearly all the time? lol! That's why it picks them in a way as to balance black and white over time.
@duck3ds If you want to play as black...You can select to play as black, when you "Create a Game" ...all day long if you want to. Also There are often seeks with other players who have selected to play as white...you can't lose. :]
Skittle-Head: I know that I can create game and choose color, but that's not what I asked. It would be much faster to filter out games the way I am proposing. Instead of waiting for someone to click my game that is. Some time of the day or night lesser people actually choose to play against me as black. I dunno why that is so.
The amount of people seeking a "Colour X only" game is miniscule
If you filter out everyone who doesn't exclusively offer to play as Black, you will have an empty Lobby always
