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.

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.
