Are there things that make someone Black besides..

Skin color
Hair texture
and facial features?

I notice many Black people (people of significant African ancestry) have strong and hard fingernails but I can't really say because some have thin nails.

People say physical traits like ass and hips are some signifiers but the some africans tribes don't have that much ass.

You can't really say skin color or hair texture though because my cousin looks mixed (really light and loose curl pattern) but is fully black.

Most blacks in we world are of West Afrucan descent. Almost all blacks in
the so called new world are of west African descent. There are common features among west Africans. Exceptions exist.

Your Right, my cousin has a very loose wave hair texture but she has two black parents.
I also consider Tawny colored skin and 3b hair texture African ancestry signifiers.

does your cousin have black features?

I mentioned my cousin because we're both black but have two opposite features; skin tone and hair texture.

I understand black features have so much diversity. I usually can tell by someones features they have african ancestry though. It's just more so the look of some one. You can have Nigerian ancestry and NOT look the majority of say northern nigeria yet you can still look like a black person with black/african features. I hope I explained that right.

Yeah she has black features where you can tell she's black but a lot of people thinks she's mixed.

It's weird because Some black people in america can't tell who is black and who is not.

For example, Their quick to call someone who looks like a Atypical west african albino a "white person".
I look at them like , nikka are you.....

Me personally I go by admixture. Since people of African descent are a very diverse people in looks. Black people even from Africa can have certain hair forms like "wavy/curly" hair that is indignous to them, but yet that type of hairstyle is not seem as "black" in the USA. And lets not forget certain African groups having extreme narrow noses without being mixed yet are pitch black. This is why I personally go by admixture. If you under 50% "black", then you're not really black in my opinion.

let's not count any american blacks.

but of course you will find some tall blacks. i'm sure you'll find some with small lips/big lips, kinky hair/ curly hair, dark skin/light skin. however most will fit a certain category, and for height that is medium height.
