black in that regard is more of a cultural identifier than a racial one - which is why people like Rachel Dolezal claim association with that cultural identity - whether people deem it legitimate or not. Still, she likely has more familiarity with that identity than a continental african - whom by your own words, "actually doesn't understand what black as an identity means."
