Are black people really black?

Let's reverse the whole color mentality and make black white, and white black. And red purple.
Damn it.

lol contrary, white people originally were black, it takes 20 generations to naturally change one's skin color from black to white from the climates of the northern atmostpheres

Words are just indicators. "Smegal" could be used to describe a surface that aborbs red green and blue light, but "Black" is used instead. Is that what you're getting at?

being called black now or "african american" is no longer just because your skin is diffrent though there are no phyiscal or biological diffrences between a black person and lets say someone from scotland there is a shared history bewteen african americans and there is a distinct culture, so being black is more like being scottish, russian than black being like white
