About

This site is designed to enlighten, encourage, entertain, and elevate the community.  There are many discussions held in parlors, barber shops, salons, and other private settings that should be given a national stage.  The community has problems within and without that need to be addressed.  As we move forward, we need to bring ourselves to a higher level.  Blackness Defined desires to be informative and part of the solution.

Blackness

Blackness is the degree to which an individual, regardless of their ethnic background, is sympathetic to or a part of the mainstream African-American culture. A person may be thought of as “losing their blackness” by not adhering to the mainstream thoughts of the African-American community. Black: Is a color but in science it represents the absence of color.
