1)Well it depends. Some aboriginal people consider themselves black, historically yes even in the 70's they were considered black, Even had a Panther inspired movement.

2)As far as their phenotype it can most definitely be found in Africa, part of why they were called black in the first place was their similarity to other people who were called black. Madagascar, to Nigeria you can find people who look Native Australian.

3)Lastly, why are people acting as if there is something definitely black about africans Native Australians are no more/ or less black than Africans. its a social term there isn't anything that makes Africans definitely black.
