If they did that would mean modern American standards of a black person includes somebody with that type of hair [/qb][/QUOTE]By modern American standards, would you say Ancient Egyptians were "blacks"? [/qb][/QUOTE]If the modern American standard of black includes wavy straight or straight haired people as blacks, then some ancient Egyptians, the ones who did not have kinky hair, one just this one point they might also be black. However I question whether the modern American standard includes such people and that the Oxford Encyclopedia may not be representing the modern American standard of who is black properly.
