It can foster a sense of identity and community among those with shared experiences related to race, history, and social issues. However, some individuals may prefer "Black" as it encompasses a broader identity that includes people from various regions and backgrounds. Ultimately, the choice of terminology can be a personal preference that reflects individual identity and experiences.
