Black isn’t even a color. It is the non-existence of color. Black absorbs all of light wavelengths and reflects nothing but darkness. White reflects all of light, which is why white is perceived. It is basically describing something that is nothing, or something that is non-existent.

You have African-Americans who don’t even know that. They are just repeating what they have learned, and choosing to accept it, or rebrand it as some type of honorable identity.

Africa exists, and my blood descends from it. My people descend from it, so that must be reflected in my identity.
