I was in Kenya some years ago...real Africans. I saw an "African-American" couple there, coming to see "their roots." The couple looked very confused and unhappy. They did NOT look like Africans in any way, shape or form. They were OODLES lighter than ANY African. Africans are EBONY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY black, as in the color of tires. African-Americans were cafe au lait, mocha colored, 100% pure American looking. Besides, they DRESSED like Americans. Hahaha, they were such as odd couple, SO out of place. They didn't want to face that they were not Africans, they were an African/Caucasian mix.
