It's simply a perception. A matter of interpretation. A darker skinned person when first seen by a caucasion, probably seemed black, simply because he had never seen anyone so dark before. The opposite may be true for the first black man who saw a white. I'm just guessing. The truth is that we are all different shades of the same color. There is only one color of human skin pigment. Caucasions simply have less of it than all other races. That's why we are tan, not white.
Are there more black catholics than other black christians?
