The term Blackness does derive from ideas of origin and culture. as ive said before Black was a nationalist term that rose out of the militant sixties and implicit in the term is that it refers to the cultural heritage of african american (in the geological sense) and colored (in the social sense) people.

'Black' does not connote the same fallacious claims of race ideology or classification as Black was never an idea offered or supported by race doctrine. In that Black is a lateral or equal term to "white" its easy to admit that racists would have nevere included this idea in the original doctrines of race and to this day those ideas have yet to be changed.
