1- I know no race is superior , i just wanted to hear(well ,
see
) him say(
type
) that.
I brought up I was Arab just for an example , not that it affects anything.
2-If it definition in the dictionary is the way I use ,it it is correct
Black,
noun
1- The darkest color ,like coal.
2-a person with dark skin,especially a person with African american or Australian aboriginal ancestry.
No, it is not the proper way , but it is correct. To this I would say not all Arabs are brown , not all Hispanics / Latinos are yellow and not all Anglo Saxon's are white.
He also Didn't call either stupid , and may or may not have implied calling them Black is stupid , I was just answering the other poster.
It's not correct. Are you saying Australian aborigines and African Americans are the same race? You listed races.
Black is not a race.

Black refers to a race
Black refers to skin color.

If I say this or that person is black , everyone will understand he is an African American.
If I say
you're
someone's a $%^&*!bag, everyone will understand that
you're
he's arrogant.
That doesn't make it right.

It is correct, not proper, but correct.
No, it's
accepted
. It's not correct. Labeling one aspect of a group with an Accidental Quality rather than the Specific Difference is
not correct
.
Jamaicans are called Jamaican .
Africans are called Africans. Sudanese are called Sudanese. Your self-referential arguments astound me some times.

accidental quality is a difference (in skin color only)
It's not the Specific Difference, otherwise no other race would have black skin.
yes , but slang only applies for Australians and African Americans.
You admit it's slang, yet maintain that it's correct. That makes no sense.

slang is adapted into the language. That is how languages evolve.
Slang is the misuse of a language.
May I ask why you're so adamant about labeling people according to their skin color?
