Mrrzy, for a lot of people of African descent, "Black" is much more than a skin color.

All I was talking about was skin color.

I've heard that American blacks of mixed slave/slave owner ancestry are getting into issues with black Africans who become American but then aren't what the American blacks would consider "african-american" because they have no slave ancestors, so they aren't "black" enough... see Obama, for example. *Sigh* Just because it matters to some people doesn't mean that I agree that people should have their noses rubbed in it constantly, which is what I feel all this demarcating of blacks is doing.
