Black just does not work, almost never very accurate over here, maybe in Africa, but not here baby. Doesn't even work for Oprah here, who does not look at all black but is supposedly H L Gates tested all African descent.....
We got negroes of all colors, we got mulattoes, many of whom look more like bedouins or Egyptians or Hindus than like black negroes.
Turn and face it, baby! You're not black and you're not white, you are somewhere in between. You're dark.
The Color Twilight Zone
So, I just use the term negro to cover a multitude of sins.
In many cases, mulatto works a lot better. I would call someone like Oprah a mulatto, and a lot of negroes had assumed for decades that she was too!
