Because that’s how God made them. Not all African Americans who have light skin are related to Native Americans or Whites.
are you as sick of yourself as I am of you????????
umm why do caucasions have different skin tones??
some where left in the oven longer. couldnt resist and im not ****** i **** all races.
Caucasians have different skin tones as well, it’s just each of our pigment, yes some of it comes from genetics & where your ancestors are from.
People of EVERY ethnic group can and do have different skin tones–and undertones!
White people come in many shades as do black people and Indian people and Asian and Hispanic…
Some of them are mixed with other races. Do you find something wrong with that? , because I sure don’t , I find that awsome..
The same reason Whites, Hispanics, and well the world has different skin tones.
Skin tone is caused by various amounts of pigment in your skin. The different amounts of pigment cause different tones to be visible.
it could mean that you have white or native american blood lines… or, it could simply be that you have differing amounts of pigment in your skin.
Cause they are from different countries.
WTF Y Am I Getting A Thumbs Down? Its fuc.king true. Nigerians and Cameronians are darker than Ghanans.
Eveyone has different skin tones!!! so do white, mexicans, native americas! etc.. It goes way back in ur ancestry and it runs in your genes!!!!!!! if the mother is black and had nothing but black genes but marries a black man with white, mexica, or indian genes, they child they have might have black feature but might be lighter tone. Then he can marry another woman with nothing but black genes and has two kids, one can be lighter and the other darker but they are carriers of dark and light genes!!! it goes the same with every race!!!
All ethnicities have different skin tones. Like, there’s white people who are literally white, and there’s also white people who are tan. There’s light skinned Chaldeans and dark skinned Chaldeans. Same goes with every ethnicity.
Yes Kelis that is why we have different skin shades.
Not necessarily. Btw…other races have variations in skin tones too.
People all have different skin tones based on their ancesters and the cultures they have mixed with. This is more obvious here because of our mixing pot culture, especially when compared to black people in Africa or Aborigines in Australia. These people all tend to be closer in skin tone because ethnically they are closer in ethnic background than we are, but overall, even they display some variety in color.
Africa is a large continent- many tribes or clans all having unique physical features. Genetics is a roll of the dice, some genes being recessive and others dominant. When a man and woman of different tribes mate a combination of genes makes up baby. Baby then mates with yet another tribe and there you have the differences in physical appearance. She or he may pass on a lighter skin tone or curlier hair.
Eventually DNA sciences will be able to trace our origins, but until then lets celebrate the differences.
Um, YEAH!
Did you miss the segment of Black history in your history class?
Dumbass you know the answer because you’ve said it in many of your questions so don’t act like you don’t
Uh,it all has to deal with genetics.
You’re so embarrassing…..
EVERY RACE DOES.WE JUST HAVE A VARIETY OF TONES.
You’re on the right track girly! From a geographical perspective, Black people are spread throughout the earth so our surroundings affect not only our skin tone but our physical features. You’ll find many Black people that are very light, yet beautiful, and then in other parts of a country or the world you may find Black people that are so dark that their skin has a purplish hue (beautiful also). From a historical perspective, i hope that you know that Black people were enslaved for hundreds of years. Black slaves were ***** by their slavemasters and produced lighter complexions of children. People are people of course. Dark mixed with light. Light mixed with lighter. Dark mixed with dark. This produced various complexions of people. This not only occurred among Black people and whites but other nationalities as well… latino, asian, indian, native-american.
Oh boy….
you might wanna search the forums or use Google. This question has been rehashed over and over. It’s a fairly simple explanation.
the same reason why white hispanic or asian ppl have differnt skin tones
are u on drgus? do u smoke *****?
wow i can believe somebody would actually ask something like that.. lol
Different parts of Africa or mixed.
African American have different skin tones because they are mixed. Even Indian (South Asian) and Hispanics have different skin tones.
