Black Humor is a term to use for dry humor, or humor some people have that not everyone gets, understands or thinks is funny.
Maybe someone will come by who knows the origins of it being called "black humor"? Been around as long as I have been on this earth.....

I've heard dark humor a lot more as "black humor" may be confused to mean humor for African Americans. It means it's humor that is also macabe, or dark, or somewhat morbid.

Are you referring to people? God made one race, the Human Race. To add a little color in His Garden, he placed people in different areas of the World which affected the way we all look. I believe skin color changed over the centuries to protect mankind's body from the Sun, cold,rain,sleet, and snow. Africa, China, India,Europe, South Sea Islands, Eskimos, etc. Different facial features, skin coloring, beautiful race.
