People of any kind of dark pigmentation of African descent. Yeah, I said it: African descent. I'm black, and just because of this doesn't mean that I listen to rap. I don't use the "N" word, even though other black people think I can use it whenever I want. New Edition is an author here who says he's black, but here's what I'm thinking: NICE TRY. All the people here have the wrong definition.

A black person is:
A person who is of African-American descent.

A black person is NOT:
Someone who is lacking in manners, steals things, or is less than intelligent.

Black people do not have black skin. Some do not even have dark skin. As long as a person is of African-American descent (such as half British, half African-American), he or she is black.
I am black, and I do not cheat, steal or use the phrase "What up, dog?" unless I am talking to an actual dog.

Black people are generally nice (at least, the ones I know are).

as a black female reading some of the definitions about blacks on this site, i was very disturbed at the highly offensive statements about blacks. I'm sure most of the people who wrote these definitions have gone solely on racial stereotypes and have not even been wronged by a black male or female. There are good and bad people of every race, not just black people. education is not based on the color of your skin, rather what you do with that knowledge. I'm sure if i went to any part of the world I would find an uneducated or person that eats fried chicken. I really hope one day people will change the way they look at black people. I really do.
damn, all black people do it eat chicken and watermelon. they are lazy and loud!

man, quit stereotyping!

A race of people. They are stereotyped as being racists, thugs and eating fried chicken. These aren't necesarily true. Also, I'm absolutely positive you can meet a white, Hispanic or Asian person who loves fried chicken, is racist or commits crimes.
Asian, white, Hispanic and black people are all equal. Obviously.

It's extremely disgusting how cowardly people are. It's also sad to see how ignorant people can be. As someone who is seen as 'black', I want to clarify some things:

1. Just like Latinos, Asians, Whites, etc., black people do not just come from Africa. They also live in the Caribbean, South America and so forth.

2. Yes, we do have some issues that need to be fixed. But then again, half a century does not make up for centuries of oppression.

3. Kool Aid and Fried Chicken? Lmao. You lames need to stop taking Encyclopedia Dramatica seriously and get out of your basement.

4. Al Sharpton is not a good representation of 'black people'. NAACP should just disband or find a new objective. They make us look like a weak group of people.

5. Nice to see the hidden self-racism from fellow 'brothas and sistas'. 'Potential to be a great race'? Lmao. That's a good one. I guess Dr.King's hope for 'black and white children to go hand and hand' has been in vain huh? Stop with the bullshit. There are educated black people like myself, who are engaged in deep thought.
At the end of the day, all of you ignorant people will never do something important for the world, because all you do is look at the skin, not the character. Because it seems that after all those years of fighting for equal rights, it still may not be enough.

Think I'm wrong? Prove it. There are many black people who aren't retarded. I'm one of them.

A race that is known for their kindness, strength, well being and the ONLY RACE that has so many things happen to them and still manage to survive. Black people should not be taken for granted, they are strong men and women, who today show that they can be better then any other race. Black people should be congratulated on the success they have had other the years. Look at all the well known names in our society today, there are many famous black people, better then White people. Black people are sterilised everyday by just the colour of their skin, and it's not a very nice thing not all black people are "frm the hood" or "eating fried chicken " but unfortunately some of us are. That doesn't mean to say that any other race can discriminate or be racist towards us! I'm a proud black women and I'm proud to be black They were once put down for and they are not going to be put down again, black people are rising!
White boy: Wow is that the president, I didn't realise he was a black man

Black girl: Yeah didn't you know. He is a proud black man too he embraces all aspects of his life to incorporate them into his job.

White boy: Really?? What's he planning to do

Black girl: He planning to stop racism and make it fairer for black people.

White boy: Ha in ur fucking dreams nigga!
