I think you need to check the etymology of 'black' in relation to skin colour. It dates to about the early 1600s derived from the term 'blackamoor' which is still used as an art term for figurines depicting African people in subservient postures. Using the term 'black' in relation to people is therefore connected to the slave trade and I'd recommend that you cease using it instead of overloading it in that context.
