Wanting to be darker skinned and/or black so much to the point where you lifestyle reflects that of the color which you want to be.
A disease where a white person wants to be black.

The sensation that a pregnant caucasian experiences when she realizes that the paternity and race of her fetus are questionable.
Girlfriend, that feeling is either morning sickness or blind-melanin...I'm sure Steve Wilkos could get to the bottom of this!

An attractive black woman.
A female sex symbol of African heritage.
A social movement that challenges the deep-rooted, oppressive ideology of beauty by affirming the unique physique of black women.

When movie directors cast a person of color in their films to avoid criticisms of being racist. It doesn't really work and follows along the same logic as a carbon offset, "I'm doing something bad, so I'll buy my way out of it so that I can continue to have the moral high-ground--or at least not be criticized as having a racist movie."
Samuel L. Jackson is in the new Star Wars movies, so they couldn't be racist. He's one of Lucas's melanin offsets. Mace Windu is a melanin offset for Jar-Jar Binks.
