black

Considered a color. However, it really represents the absorption of all other colors in the spectrum, in a similar (but inverse) way white reflects all other colors. The opposite of white.

Also, a supposedly slimming color on obese femals (it doesn't work ladies).

black

1. Darkest shaded of color
2. Racial/ethnic term: A black is a person with a majority of ancestors that stayed in sub-Saharan African during homo S. Sapian's original exodus from the continent. Blacks are the most genetically diverse race on Earth including some of the world's tallest (watusi) and shortest (pygmies) ethnic groups.
Today Black people live on every continent however they are most commonly found in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribean, and the Americas. The term black is sometimes applied to the aboriginals of Australia however they are desecended from homo S. Sapian's original out of Africa migration, and thus are only black in a skin color descriptive sense, and not in a racial, genetic, or ethnic sense. Because of America's one drop rule, the term black is also sometimes applied to people with only half-black ancestry such as Halle Barry, and Bob Marley, however these people have a roughly equal mix of black and non-black ancestry, and thus are only black in a socio-political sense, and are more accurately described as multi-racial.

black

The short name for a Black & Mild Cigar, produced by Middleton.

Usually has a plastic or wooden tip, and comes in different flavors. Typically, when smoking a black you first "freak" the cigar which means to remove the tobacco in order to take out the layer of paper which gives the cigar its artificial flavor. The tobacco is then put back. This process usually makes the cigar taste better and also smoke more easily.

The best color ever! Can be worn to make yourself look sleek and sophistacated, or hard-core goth/punk.

black

In slang terms, "black" is used as a term of endearment in the same way that people call each other "dude" or "man". It is a shorthand way of acknowledging an African-American friend, a "black man".
