There isn't much more diversity in skin tones among indigenous Eropeans than among indigenous Africans.

Portuguese people are some of the darkest Europeans, they're still unambiguously white.

It's much easier when you go along with the rest of the world and accept that there are blacks, whites and mixed people in between.

Two dark skinned people can have a child that is lighter than both of them. Genetics is a fickle thing, dude. Even sun exposure and environment affect color and also gene expression.

Yes, you googled a picture of white people and that came up, but a lived-in reality would reveal that you'll find people of varying skin tones in Europe and also throughout Africa with them having unmixed ancestry... Due to what I just said. You just need a larger population size to see it.

(P.S. Olive skinned white people are real)

No, I googled "portuguese crowd". The Portuguese are white, none are racially ambiguous except if they're mixed, just like West Africans are black, or dark brown, unless they're mixed or bleached. This is the result of natural selection, which makes some traits reach fixation, it means when a trait (very dark skin in West Africa) is so advantageous in a given environment, it comes to eliminate all variation that could develop in the absence of selection. Native Europeans or West Africans that are naturally light brown are at best 1 in a million. You know it, stop lying to yourself.

A segment of the African Americans are mixed people in denial unfortunately.
 
I'm not here to talk about genealogy or family history but there has 100% been guys placed in a thread that aren't even passable or it's well known they dont even claim or are black themselves such as Jordan Torres.
Not too long ago someone here was trying to pass Kevin Portillo as a black men (when they dude is Latino/Venezuelan ethnically) and when I said something there a black American font made a big deal calling me ignorant and all pretending I don't like here in the USA or something. And it's not only about Keving not being African American but Hispanic. It's also that he does not look black. You can tell the guy is heavily mixed and even with some amerindian. Thick lips is a trait you can find in other races. I'm still sure he has some black in him though but not for posters to lump him with real blacks or pred. black people. That's is just silly, dumb, reeks insecurity.

I don't know how much of it is due to denial and how much is due to ignorance, it's notorious that most Americans don't know anything about the world beyond the US and they may sincerely believe that there are native redbones and high yellows in Africa. I once had this conversation with some Americans and they showed some Ethiopians, Somalis and Kalahari Bushmen as examples of "Africans come in every shades and tones", which is absolutely dishonest because Ethiopians and Somalis are heavily mixed with Arabs and usually take pride in being distinct from black Africans whereas Bushmen are native Southern Africans that have lived in isolation from West African descended Bantus for thousands of years. All these distorsions to deny the fact that regular black Africans are always dark skinned, never have "good hair" nor caucasoid features. A place in the old world that really has a huge diversity of skin tones besides the horn of Africa is India, and it's relatively unique among world regions. On the contrary, Europe, East Asia and Subsaharan Africa are places where there is very little diversity in skin tone and facial features.
