In regards to your edit to my post in “Eden” - Using the word black is not racist according to the Urban Institute and others.

“Today, some people view “black” and “African American” interchangeably. But many have strong opinions that “African American” is too restrictive for the current US population. In part, the term African American came into use to highlight that the experiences of the people here reflect both their origins in the African continent and their history on the American continent.

But recent immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean have different combinations of history and experience, so some have argued that the term “black” is more inclusive of the collective experiences of the US population.” https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/say-african-american-or-black-first-acknowledge-persistence-structural-racism

Perhaps try educating yourself before calling other users racist.
