Ok, so back in the day I mean before the slave trade people in Africa the true Africans were black. This was a body adaptation to the intense heat of the sun. Also it was for survival. Look it up, the history and science behind it all is amazing.

For the same reason we call "European Americans" white when they are brown or pink. People once slapped labels on whole peoples, and they have stuck. Among many Native American tribes the term "White Man" referred to a life style and tribal association and had nothing to do with skin color. A person of European ancestry who joined a tribe and lived according to their ways was as much a member of that tribe as any other. Judging people by skin color was a slave trading convention, because it made it easier to identify runaways, just as the concept of being something by "blood", as having "black blood" was adopted so that people could own white slaves by saying they had one "black" great grandparent, the term for such a person was "octaroon", and under Slave State law, they had no more rights than any other person of color.

It syncs well with white like,"black and white" and also many of them aren't brown.Black covers all browns but not
the vice verse.
