Plus the fallacy with that thinking is that when Columbus got here,many natives were sent back to Spain. Many slaves were sent to Spain to places like Seville to be indoctrinated. Many of them were either sent back to the americas as slaves,and to assiste with exploration. And I would guess some would have been sent to Africa for valuables like gold as Africans were involved in the slave trade as well. Now if some of you can talk about white ignorance,and say they could have come to america and described natives as "negroes" because they had some similar negroid features. Then why don't you believe they could have looked just like negroes of Africa,sent back to spain and Africa from the Americas. Then upon return to the americas were ignorantly classified under the same umbrella as African,even though they were originaly from the americas!

^theres a picture in that link to show the first tribe Columbus encountered,there are plenty of people who look black and as african as anybody else in the mix. the only problem here is the brainwashing people have gone through and the ideal they have that all natives in the americas looked like Pochahontas.
The virgin soil epidemic caused by the arrival of smallpox and other diseases from Europe, combined with Spain’s harsh policies of enslavement, resettlement, and the separation of families, the encomienda system, resulted in Taino society’s drastic decline within a few decades after contact. Attacks by Carib tribes and unrelenting harsh treatment by the Europeans accelerated the process.
Although Taino society was destroyed by European expansion, some of their bloodlines persist among the new settlers, primarily Western and African peoples.
I could be reading that wrong,but it also mentions these peoples bloodlines persist among western and african peoples. I think that has some significance as well. After a population decline,and so many being sent into slavery theres no way of knowing exactly how many people there were and how much "blacker" the population looked beforehand.
