does every race have some type of ''black'' in them?

Well, if you believe in the bible, and Adam and Eve were the first couple... we are all pure.
Populations that are isolated and have no influx of new genes tend to deteriorate after several generations (called inbreeding.) Thus if you had a "pure" race, it wouldn't be worth anything in a hundred years. Every race has had "new blood" added to it over time.
So I guess the answer is.... no.
g-day!

Well I'd say at least in America, But outside there could be.

Well, some historians claim that we ALL originate from 6 (I think) people, who created the races...you know, after the Ice Age and Dinosaurs...
So looking that far back, I'd say yes. But as for me, I know for pretty certain that there is no black in me. There were no black people at all in my corner of the world until something like a hundred years ago, so I can safely assume that I don't have any black in me.
As for purity? I wouldn't go that far. Just cos there's no black in me doesn't mean that I'm not a mix of two or more different caucasian races.

It depends on how you define pure. Japanese are most likely as pure as it gets for a major group of people. Why would you think that every race has some type of black in them? Anyway, the answer is no to that one.

This goes back to the last ice age 70,000 years ago where it is thought that 90% of human breeding stock died. This left only a few survivors in Africa. Recently, genetic studies have determined that the Sand People in Africa are the mother race to all of the humans that have existed since that time.
What we see as "RACE" are the mutations of the human body over the last 15,000 years to the various ecosystems that humans have chosen to live in.

Scholars who have tried to pin down the concept of race agree that it's not a coherent concept.
In other words, there's no such thing as race.
What's pretty clear is that humans arose in Africa; so we're all African, if you look back far enough.

There is one "pure" race. It is called the human race. Genetic markers have been found in Africans, Arabs, Australian Aboriginees, Chinese, Northern Europeans, and Native Americans which prove they are all related to one another.

There is no such thing as a 'pure' race.
The human race is all of one species: Homo Sapien.

We are technically all mixed. If I'm not mistaken humans did originate from the continent of Africa so, Yes, I suppose everyone does have some type of "black" in them.

I don't know if everyone has some type of black in them, but we are all mixed. I am Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English, and Native American.
