The root word "necro" means dead. So the necrotic skin is black because it has no blood supply and is dead.

Is you belly button post to change colors around the outside after being pieced?

Depends on your skin etc. For example I had mine and it was pink, and a little red from being sore but then it went like black around it about 6/7 mothns later. As a doctor I'd say it's nothin to worry about because basically the skin around the piercing is dead, you just have to make sure that the further skin around that doesn't go black as this could mean its necrotic (a skin infection where all the skin dies or travels into your body and does damage). If your skin is looking yellow or green then definitely get it checked out. If the skin looks or feels differently try antisceptic and if there is a lot of pain then see your doctor.

Why is the black death called the black death did it affect only African-Americans?

The black death refers to the bubonic plague, an epidemic initially thought to be carried by rats, but actually traced to the fleas on the rats. The black plague / black death was most destructive in Europe during the middle ages, so few of the victims likely were black. The bubonic plague has been found in America from time to time and is usually associated with rats or squirrels. The disease does not discriminate. It is equally deadly to all races. It was called 'black death' because of the darkening of the skin shortly before death. The skin would become necrotic and develop lenticulae (black dots or splotches).
