Forge black screen

For whatever reason, whenever I run minecraft with Forge installed, I get a black screen. I tried the recommended build, and the latest build. I have deleted META-INF, but I left the Forge one in. I have deleted my entire .minecraft, and I have no other mods installed yet. But, I still just get a black screen. No errors. I have even reinstalled JRE. Please help.

    Remove the META-INF from Forge.

    There's an EAQ for a reason. Read it!

    First rule of bug reports: More information is always better.

    Oh, and logs OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!

    Logs. Please. No logs, no help.

    Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

     

    This isn't building better software, its trying to grab a place in the commit list of a highly visible github project.
