Before the Dutch arrived, there was no such thing as a "South African".
The Zulu identity as we know it today, did not even begin to form until 1843.
Black-Americans have been an ethnic group for much longer.
Firstly African American isn't an ethnicity, before slavery there was no such thing as an African American, you all are ethnically mixed people.

Genetically, phenotypically, and culturally Black-Americans resemble none of the above.
Keep Black-Americans out of your divisive ethno-politics.
I’m in academia and ive been Black&Igbo all my life, I’ve watched a resurgence where most Black ppl latch on to/claim Yoruba culture, which is fine, but the likelihood that you’re a descendant of Igbos, phenotypically and bloodline wise is far higher, there’s power in information

When Black-Americans say they have a unique phenotype, they aren't saying they don't look "Black".
They're saying you don't look like us.
Same way Africans differentiate looks.
West & Central Africans are not the standard of "Blackness".

Not necessarily/Of course not.
It is the Afrikanity (Africanness) of Black people and cultures that is the strongest factor and influence they have in common vis-â-vis others and everything they touch.
BlackAm culture, though distinct in its detail, is overwhelmingly Afrikan.

Can we stop using "unambiguous" to mean "West/Central African", because all of those women are unambiguously BLACK.
It's the blatant anti-blackness, colorism, texturism, featurism in this post for me💀. I feel so bad for unambiguous darkskin Black Americans, these fba/ados xenophobes secretly hate ya'll. The AVERAGE Black American does not look like these women.

It's called appropriation when people take without crediting from other cultures against a more or less zero violence background, but not only do Koreans constantly credit black/Japanese influences by name, both American and Japanese militaries have occupied the Korean peninsula.

Maybe because BA ancestry is diverse within and without Africa?

Whoopi Goldberg has always been a beautiful woman to me. We all remember when Whoopi used to get made fun of because of her looks, we still have people to this day tryna argue that Whoopi's not "convenientally attractive." She's a gorgeous woman in my eyes, but yall can disagree.

Completely wrong:
1) Those are Modern NOT ANCIENT EGYPTIANS
2) Black-Americans aren't even mentioned on the chart
3) Black-Americans are intermediate between Western Europeans and West Africans
4) Black-Americans are post-cranio-metrically proximate to Ancient Egyptians.
Somalis are closer to ancient egyptians than west africans and african americans

AAs are around 72.5% African, 20% European, and 8% Native (American)/'Asian' (via Malagasy)
If she is ~40% African, that's on track as 55% 'AA'.

The Freedmen's Bureau opened thousands of schools, wherein teachers like Charlotte Forten & Mary Peake were able to bring the Black literacy rate up to 30%.
With just 7 years, and limited funding, the Bureau impacted generations of Black-Americans.

Dorothy Dandridge, a light-skinned Black American actress and singer, was born in 1922 to Ruby and Cyril Dandridge, both brown-skinned Black Americans.
