Due to interbreeding over the past 350 years the average African American is about 1/3 White. The lighter African Americans have more White blood.

Genetics...Why are some people more blonde than others? or Why are some people's eyes wider than others?
Hardly anyone alive is a "pure breed" of any nationality anymore. Some African Americans appear white and some white people are exceptionally dark complected.

Why are some white people darker than others? Black, white, Asian, Latino, we are all the same just w/ different genetics. Skin tone is genetically inherited from your parents. If your parents have lighter skin, so will you. My mom is fairly dark (for a German) and my dad is translucent, so I am kind of in the middle. Same goes for black people.

because africa is very diverse. and to a smaller extent the race mixing that occured in the past. the one drop rule forced mulattos and "quadraroons" to be consider black then putting caucasion blood into the african american community.
are all whites blond. no right. all blacks dont have to be the same shade.

Skin color is a genetic trait. The amount of melanin (the human skin pigment) is pre-determined by genes. It's as simple as that.
Obviously intermarriage is a considerable factor.
