What a dumb question

The tan on the skin of a person, is there for a good reason, to protect him/her from harsh invironment climate. So when we see dark tan skinned, we are to associate that person to be from African origin, as Asians, Europeans or from the North.
I think the great variation in colors has suggested black to be real darken skinned people, as white to be real brighten skinned people! But a wrong impression was given on the word brighten.

People who operate from low-level consciousness conditioning often compartmentalize or categorize things. They create a separation that causes problems. They focus on the exterior, rather than the interior.
Let's elevate the conversation. There are people.
A little bit higher now. There are living beings.
A little bit higher now. All is one.
I wish you Peace.

I guess its another way of labeling people and putting them in categories, and I don't know who came up with that but I am more than the color of my skin

I don't know. My 4 year old says some people are brown, and he's pink. But he's at the age where he's starting to notice the differences in people. (You should hear him ask about the difference in girls and boys *groan*). Some people never grow up beyond noticing the differences in people, I guess.

what you should have said is " why are Black people called African Americans and White people just called white"or " why can't we all just be called people"

The person or people who figured that one out were color blind.
