Skin Tone

Why are some Black people lighter in skin tone than others?

Talking about non mixed with other races where their ancestors from other parts in Africa where skin tone is lighter?

Um…This is an obvious question.

Black people come in all shades and colors, just like Hispanics. People always assume it has something to do with being mixed, but thats not always the case. Two dark skin black parents can have a fair-skinned child. Why? Because of our diverse genetics. We have ancestors have different colors and races that can be traced back for ages. And alot of slave women were raped by white slave masters back in the old days in America, so that is also probably one of the reasons.
