Black people is a term used in certain countries, often in socially based systems of racial classification or of ethnicity, to describe persons who are perceived to be dark-skinned compared to other given populations. As such, the meaning of the expression varies widely both between and within societies, and depends significantly on context. For many other individuals, communities and countries, "black" is also perceived as a derogatory, outdated, reductive or otherwise unrepresentative label, and as a result is neither used nor defined.
Different societies apply differing criteria regarding who is classified as "black", and these social constructs have also changed over time. In a number of countries, societal variables affect classification as much as skin color, and the social criteria for "blackness" vary. For example, in North America the term black people is not necessarily an indicator of skin color or majority ethnic ancestry, but it is instead a socially based racial classification related to being African American, with a family history associated with institutionalized slavery. In South Africa and Latin America, for instance, mixed-race people are generally not classified as "black." In South Pacific regions such as Australia and Melanesia, European colonists applied the term "black" or it was used by populations with different histories and ethnic origin.
Black people hate to admit that they're descendants of Africa! We are descendants of black africans! Self hate is so wide spread in the black african american community! We hate our negro features

In this unique interdisciplinary work of historical archaeology, anthropologist Katherine Hayes draws on years of fieldwork on Shelter Islands Sylvester Manor to demonstrate how racial identity was constructed and lived before plantation slavery was racialized by the legal codification of races. Using the historic Sylvester Manor Plantation site turned archaeological dig as a case study, Hayes draws on artifacts and extensive archival material to present a rare picture of northern slavery on one of the Norths first plantations. The Manor ...
That racists are obsessed with race will surprise no one. As reported by Vice’s Elspeth Reeve, white supremacists of various stripes who congregate on parts of Reddit, 4chan, and elsewhere are using the genetic testing service 23andMe to prove to each other and themselves just how white their ancestries are. According to Fusion, the testers use the forum to commiserate as they anxiously wait for results, hoping to be deemed 100% European heritage. It’s the inverse of what young black Americans are doing with the genetic tests. Testers of African descent are using Ancestry.com and 23andMe to try and learn about their family via genetics because there often aren’t records of where their more distant ancestors were from before America. For them, evidence of European ancestry that dates to the...

Africans we are not Hollywood, a fake idea, fantasy, or make believe when it comes to our vast and various bloodlines of African descent. The African Holocaust wasn't Hollywood. Our African genocide wasn't a fantasy. Our division of African lineage wasn't make believe. Our hurt, pain, and sorrows were not fake. So why are we Africans doing so much to add something that was never there regarding our African bloodlines to begin with?

From traditional West African drumming to South African kwaito, from spirituals to hip-hop, Black life and history has been dynamically displayed and contested through sound. Shana Redmond excavates the sonic histories of these communities through a genre emblematic of Black solidarity and citizenship: anthems. An interdisciplinary cultural history, Anthem reveals how this sound franchise contributed to the growth and mobilization of the modern, Black citizen. Providing new political frames and aesthetic articulations for protest organizations and activist-musicians, Redmond reveals the anthem as a crucial musical form following World War I. Be...

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the counseling literature pertaining to African American clients. Specifically, the analysis includes a review of the different variables (client, counselor, counseling process, and assessment) that have received the bulk of research attention. This sets the stage for the presentation of a counseling model for African American clients. The authors discuss philosophical premises upon which the model is based and sugges...

Air date: Wednesday, January 09, 2013, 3:00:00 PM Description: Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Self-reported ethnicity reflects many sources of variation, including genetic. Biologic variation is associated with several population-specific risks for disease. There are several inherited factors associated with African American populations compared to European American, and these include differences in the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-diabetic nephropathy, kidney stones, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis. Treatment responses to interferon therapy for hepatitis C also depend on interferon-lambda3 (IL28B) genotypes, which differ markedly across population groups and partially explain ethnic specific response rates. Dr. Freedman will discuss these topics as well as review Region...
