Definition of Black

The definition of blackness is based on the lowest and highest common denominator, namely the ‘one shot’ rule established by the terrorism of white supremacy in the United States of America, and the 8-rock principle of Toni Morrison’s imaginary, and its anchor in the reality of Bambara complexions, as well as that of the Dinka, and other ethnic groups in Africa; the suffix ‘amoru’ or ‘armour’ should be added to the word Black; Olokunmoore is a celebratory name for those of the most beautiful and darkest of complexions. A categorisation for other complexions is also provided to elucidate the logic of our terminology.

The images are all people of blessed memory, bar two, who were killed or maimed because of the darkness and colour of their skin.
