Yeah, it's worth noting that black people weren't usually referred to as black people in western societies back then, but various variations of the N word.

Black is an actual colour, and in opposition to light. That's where all these black/grey/white trichotomies come from.

The usage of black as an adjective to describe illegal deeds and things not only precedes the slavery in the North America but existed in cultures which never even seen people with a black skin. But you can't argue with SJW with logic.
