Still Black ?

Kristen said; "...Thank you. I don't understand people's fixation with trying to make Black something other than what it is - a color.
I am Black because of my skin tone and my heritage."

FreeMan said "Black, to me, is defined by our color and shared origins."

Kristen, I'm not saying that Black is something to be denied - but that it has to be more inclusive. Anyone would admit that African model Alec Wek is Black. The shape of her nose, the curl of her hair, the color of her skin - she is Black.

But what about these Africans?
Or her?

What about this African woman (Yes, in the grey dress) who is attacked on the Stormfront site for being able to pass for white?
What "Color" makes one Black?
