Yes, most Africans are dark (the sun beating down all year plays a part), but people think there aren't any African people that are light-skin without European DNA.
To "Look African" Is a bad thing?

Hopefully someone in this thread will state that some Africans hate on black Americans too, and they weren't even enslaved by white people.
Something like 85 % of phenotype diversity amongst humans is indigenous to Africa.
Africans were colonized and oppressed all the same.

How many dime piece females you know with broad ass noses like KRS and Jay z.
Funny thing is, African Americans know very little about what Africans truly look like. As the most genetically diverse place on earth, Africans come in all shades, shapes and sizes. ALL!!!! The dude who said that might not even have graduated high school or been beyond his own state.
I remember the 'African Booty Scratcher' joke in Boyz N the Hood. Painful to hear coming from Black kids, but very necessary and am proud of John Singleton for putting that in there. It was important for Africans to know that most African Americans aint really feeling them and pretty much wanted nothing to do with them. Oh, 90% of the time you cannot tell an African from an African American, unless youre talking about how obese African Americans are then yeah. Some Africans have very distinct looks that you wont find in American Blacks, but I can assure that somewhere in Africa you'll find an African that resembles any African American. African Americans only for the most part came from the west coast of Africa.

For some reason I don't "look African" to most people. Most assume I'm "regular Black." Though, some Africans can look at me and know what's up. Down to the tribal affiliation. 
some people prefer the "mixed" black look
I think the black american woman is the best looking woman at the table....
