black people are called black because they look black, some proper old skool original black people are pretty damn black.
we aren't exactly white are we? more a pinky peachy colour or a skidmark brown

I can only say it in front of a select audience. Get some funny looks if I call her a darkie in public even though I'm taking the piss.

Wikipedia says "The term black people usually refers to a racial group of humans with skin colors that range from light brown to nearly black".
Also, it would appear our ancestors from 1.2 million years ago were all "black":
quote: The evolution of dark skin is linked intrinsically to the loss of body hair in humans. By 1.2 million years ago, all people having descendants today had the same receptor protein of today's Africans; their skin was dark, and the intense sun killed off the progeny with any lighter skin that resulted from mutational variation in the receptor protein. This is significantly earlier than the speciation of Homo sapiens from Homo erectus some 250,000 years ago.

I remember refering to EasyRob (used to be on MIG) as 'half chips, half rice' as he had one Chinese parent and one English one.
He didn't like that, boring twat that he was.
