Once the vaginal blood comes in contact with the air, it is not uncomman for the blood to turn black. It is a process knowen as oxidation. ANSWER I have no idea about why it is black but when blood comes in contact with oxygen it becomes brighter red

In a sense, you are both kind of right. In red blood, iron is highly oxygenated. It is in its Iron(III) oxidation state, which is red. When Iron is reduced (oxygen taken away), it becomes Iron(II), which is black. This is usually due to breakdown of red blood cells. In this case, the blood within the uterus (womb) has been sitting there for a few hours before being expelled, and has broken down, causing the RBC iron to be reduced. This may be due to uterine contractions not being strong enough, or temporary blockage of the cervix.

Are mixed people considered black?

If they have 2 other races in them, they are considered multicultural, but if 75% of the blood in them is White, then they are considered White with Black blood in them. At times there are rare cases where quadroons who are 1/4 black do come out with some Black features but not enough to consider themselves or be considered Black. For example, Mariah Carey, Vin Diesel, Eartha Kitt, Wentworth Miller, Halle Berry's daughter, Thandie Newton's children are considered White because all these people have 1/4 black blood in them, and 75% of the blood is White.
