Black Emo 

Someone who is black and into actual emo music and it's sub-genres (emotive hardcore, hardcore punk, skramz and maybe indie or alternative like Sunny Day Real Estate and The Promise Ring). These people most likely know what they're talking about and won't label themselves "emo" because it's just a genre of music (and an insult when the term originally came about).

Most people think "emos" or what is actually emo pop punk (people who listen to emo pop punk / alternative rock / pop punk bands) like early My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco are all privileged white kids and that seems to be the case, but you can have different races being apart of the subculture / sub-genre as well. It's just more popular in Western countries because that's where the genres originated.
Person 1: Look at her!

Person 2: Yeah, she's a black emo. They're rare, but they're out there.

Person 1: I wonder if she likes Dag Nasty.

Person 2: Probably not, probably one of those pop punk kids opposed to someone who likes emotive hardcore.

black emo 

Conscious hip-hop (Common, Talib Kweli), R&B, Wu-Tang Clan, and the Backpacker culture can all be considered black emo aka nerd rap. Purveyors of Black emo are African-American musicians who make music about for the bling, benzes and bitches, but to propoke thoughtful introspection on behalf of the listener about the state of the Black community. They are often Black Nationalists. Kanye West can marginally be put into this genre.
Dead Prez, Common, Mos Def, can all be included in the black emo genre.

Black Emo Kid 

A African American, or American, who like the emo culture. I am one myself. They are very rare, and are always accused of being an "oreo" by other ghetto black kids. Usually hangs out with other "emo" kids, most likely, but not always white. Doesn't care for rap, or hip hop. Feels secure when with other people who understand the problems of the world, and are true about it. Doesn't understand why race is such a big deal in the world.
A black emo kid, or african american, or american who comes from african descent, and is comfortable with the emo culture.

emo block 

The act of blocking someone on a social networking site because they are emotionally compromised and have bruised feelings over something totally lame.
Nicole got all butt hurt when Johnny was flirting with Katie and didn't give Nicole any attention. Nicole then emo blocked Johnny on facebook. She then lied to Katie and her other friends about Johnny being no good. Johnny doesn't know why he has five less friends now.

🖤 (black heart emoji) 

A black heart has a completely different meaning from a red heart. A black heart is often associated with death, evil, or being emotionally cold (without compassion, feeling or love). Generally, however, this emoji takes the form of a red heart.
