On the subject of hyphenated Americans the great George Foreman said ‘If anybody calls me anything but an American-American I am going to slug him’.

That being said, some “Blacks” are so dark that they are almost purple.

Check out the great actor Bill Duke. That dude is DARK. Still a dark brown I suppose but as someone pointed out, we are almost all a shade of brown because we have the same melanin molecule that is the same color, some just have more of it than others.

I'm with George. I have his grill, too. :)

Sure, some folks are darker than others. However, some who are of mixed heritage are paler than "whites".

Except for albinos who have none.
