Not at all, we Africans do put on black paint too...let me get some pictures of all types of paints ( mostly black and white)

The black is from charcoal mixed with water

This warrior has his face decorated with a distinctive white clay to look more "menacing."

Usually done to ladies as a sign of tradition, sometimes during their traditional marriage or some tradition

So I doubt any real African would be offended by a black paint when we put it on ourselves for one traditional rite or the other.

My network was acting up.
