Is black a color or a state of mind

What defines you? Maybe it’s the shade of your skin, the place you grew up, the accent in your words, the make up of your family, the gender you were born with, the intimate relationships you chose to have or your generation? As the American identity changes. Black is "slang" for an ethnicity referring to descendants of Africans. That simple. I think you're confusing being Black with the stereotype that some folks have about Black culture. BET, Rick Ross, being lazy in school...that is NOT what being Black is, although people will tell you that. Listen, we are all individuals and we all like different stuff. People hang with others that they share common views with. There aren't two types of Black people, there are millions of Black individuals each with different likes, dislikes and beliefs. Seek out people who like the things you like.
