since this question is running on at least 2 threads here is my answer from one of the others
Jimbo, Re. black or white, I don't quite know where to start, but here is a first try. If by black or white you are refering to skin colour only, then there is a variation of skin colour between very black (nobody is completely black) and completely white (albinos( who have no melanin pigment at all in their skin)) We are all somewhere in between. If you mean african then what part of africa as some africans are paler than some europeans. To label anyone 'black' or 'White' is naive and simplistic and is a qualification for membership of the Ku Klux Klan.
