If the LORD is the LORD of nations, does he answer if we call ourselves a color?

Well, God bless 'em! I kinda suspected as much from your avatar. *grin*
Amen, God bless my parents, and your parents as well. My parents are not into anime, though my mom likes Studio Ghibli.

Okay this sounds good, but am wanting to serve the LORD of the living for right now.
I'm reminded of

He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?​

I have always said (that here at last) We are Americans first, Christians second. (or Muslims Or Jews Or Hindus Or Buddhists Or NONES etc)

Fact is, here we are all united as Americans. We have to learn to live and work together to understand and celebrate the cultures and beliefs behind our great Nation.
We must celebrate who we are...together ..as Americans. That transcends race, ethnicity, creed, religions everything We work together as Americans

We learn to accept each other, and work with each other, and as Christians, demonstrate unconditional love to all just as Christ loved us

We Unite, we succeed. DO not let the media or the political parties try to divide you We are all Americans. (those of us here in America of course)

Okay cool, so I should just say American? I noticed nations was not in this quote.
as followers and believers of Christ, we are adopted into Israel, not a geographic location but spiritual Israel. When you come to God we are to abandon all earthly identities, it is only our identity under Christ that matters and it doesn't matter what earthly lineage we have.

Since the LORD guides nations- and named his people a nation, should I come to him as an American....or white/black American?
Come to him as a child. Color or nationality mean nothing. A child needs their Father to provide for them. Depends on God as a child.

There are a lot of conventions that are (sometimes) used in the English
translations of the Bible.

"LORD" often is used as the proper name of God
"Lord" is often used in the New Testament to refer to the Incarnation
"lord" is used to refer to a human lord, but not God.

I'm not sure what your post is meaning.
Are you talking about the LORD being the lord of all nations???

God is the lord of all nations, but also the lord of all nature (such
as the beasts in the field). We do not have to identify with being a cow
or a sheep, when we pray to him as a part of God's People.
