Wow, Paul, that's really terrible of you to say. Are you trying to offend?
nobody is black.
black is the absence of light. white is all colors together.
we are all colors - shades of colors - in between.
look at the color black and compare that to the color of people's skin.
people who associate with the /color black/ are - in my opinion - associating with the absence of light - and what might that mean.
