A tan, brown, or black skin tone of a race of people who are or not necessarily descendants of Africa, who could also be a native of the Jewish race. The word derives from a species of trees called 'Ebony' a tree native to southern India, Sri Lanka, and Western Africa. The term Ebony American describes a black American of whom it has not been established that he or she is a descendant of Africa, hence it is a false assumption that all blacks are African Americans.
