Black people is a term usually referring to a racial group of humans with dark skin color, but the term has also been used to categorise a number of diverse populations into one common group. Some definitions of the term include only people of relatively recent Sub Saharan African descent (see African diaspora), while others extend the term to any of the populations characterized by dark skin color, a definition that also includes certain populations in Oceania, Southeast Asia, southern South Asia, and the southern Middle East.

Great response fly girl.. until people get over their discomfort of identifiying with africa, and the ethnic groups of africa in which we decended from, the confusion will only continue.

"Black to identify themselves, which of course, doesn't identify anything but the color of their skin. "

This is why I don't call myself black, it doesn't really mean anything, because I grew up and went to school with people who are not africans but have a way darker pigmentation than me. "Black" It eliminates my true identity, my culture, my language, etc.

"You can be Black and be from any place on earth, from South America to Europe. "

Exactly because no matter where we are that lable sticks with us.
