But let's see which one should be mentioned in title as I am not a coward in word or deed:

Man: a (1) :  an individual human; especially :  an adult male human (2)

Black: b (1) often capitalized :  of or relating to any of various population groups having dark pigmentation of the skin

The only question I recall you addressing to me is this one: "I felt race played no part in this story and definitely didn't need to be in the headline. How about you?"  Which I answered. "I didn't "feel" anything about race until people started complaining it was mentioned." I added that I was against censoring race in such reports. And you, with no explanation, decided that was not an answer.  

I don't follow your angry "a" and "b" above and all the talk about "honesty" and your non-cowardice. 
 
And I did not realize Michaelsean was answering for you,  but if he was, his answer did not suffice.  Since the question at hand concerned why we speak the way we do--black man instead of  just "man"--and how should we be speaking if some don't like the way speak, to simply say "We really don't speak like that" is a non answer. 

We don't say a "human being died" in a news report about a prison death because people want to know the attributes of the deceased--male or female, black, white, or other--as well as the circumstances of the death. If a child dies, we add that bit of info as well.  That is the norm at the moment.

And I question why anyone would want to change that norm by erasing race.
