Black and white - outdated inaccurate terminology hampers progress in racial issues

But I do have a right. A right to my opinion/belief (and you have a right to oppose it). My aim here is to try and illustrate my belief that the words black and white should be obsolete (in regards to race) because they don't function very well anymore, partly because they are inaccurate/inadequate, partly because they have a direct history with racism (despite their intended use being moderate and abstract nowadays), and partly because they have literal meanings that can imply things that can (rather obtusely) be taken out of context.They can not be replaced with any other word. They need to be adequately descriptive and objectively accurate "labels". Functional. Simply for classifying. Nothing else. People can apply and attach any opinion or racist thought they want to the terms Asian and Middle-Eastern but their actual meaning remains objective, accurate and functional. Most black people in the USA prefer to be called "African American" because of the country's history of racism, the stigma attached to the term "black man", and the issues with racial profiling (yet politicians, the media, and activists, in the USA still proliferate the use of the term "black" which is confusing to me). In regards to just skin colour, saying "dark-skinned man/woman" would be vague, but just as easy and more descriptive and accurate than just saying "black man/woman", which is even more vague, simply because there are many other races that have dark skin that are not black people. They know this, they're not going to call any other dark-skinned race "black" because their other features adequately identify them. The way I see it, for a police officer profiling a suspect, when saying "black man" they are not actually referring to skin colour but more the overall features of the suspect (skin colour, hair-type, eye-colour, facial features, the way they're dressed, ethnicity). 99 percent of the the time, they mean a dark-skinned person of apparent African descent. So, if the term "black man", aside from skin colour, refers to a person of African descent, is an aboriginal person a black man? Is a person who has black and white parents but still looks "black" black? Are the north Africans on the border of the Middle East black? Things get muddled here. There shouldn't be any confusion or differing opinion on the definition. Although black and white are supposed to be used in a moderate, abstract way in regard to skin colour, they ultimately/inevitably still allude to certain old abstract racist/racial concepts. Ie. they are symbolic. For example, think of how the KKK dressed in white, and the Black Panther rebels dressed in black (not saying they were the same and should be judged the same, and/or that they hold sway over common opinion/definitions, just that they were both racially-minded, and "extremists" that made an impact on racial issues, and they both used the colours in question to symbolize and bolster their racial pride). I would love to ignore the fact that white supremists like KKK ever existed but their presence in history has made a definite impact on racial issues that lingers on today. White supremists, like KKK, are a tiny minority (in the world), but they are still around spreading their influence, and they use the colours, symbolically, to reinforce their opinions that white people are superior (apparently white symbolizes purity and goodness and black symbolizes death, evil, darkness, etc).Here's a definition I found for "black man" from the Webster-Merriam dictionary.1 : a dark-skinned man. 2 dialectal dated : an evil spirit : boogeyman, devil So, despite the fact that these words are supposed to be moderate and abstract, they have old stigmas and connotations (albate very silly ones) still attached to them and are at the very least subconscious reminders of a racial/racist past.Thinking about it, the symbolic opposition of black and white might be the least relevant thing in my argument, though I believe its still adds to it.
