No, so what. That sure doesn't mean that I can't call a very light "African descended person" white, doesn't it? It's either or. So true, and that is part of the Base of the European race concept. Now on to more complex matters.

No, if you're dark, then you're black, if you're not, you're white. It's as appropriate as anything else. Melanesian and Australians have the colour in common with Africans, and nothing else, really. They're not related in any particular way. They never even knew of each others existence. So why is it different with people with "affinity with other designated". Why is there a difference in this case, but not in all other cases? Last I checked Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Adaeze Igwe, Maryam Abacha, Collin Powell, Oguchi Onyewu, All Are black, yet none of them are dark. Melanesians and Native Australians have their Beautiful distinctions , however the STRONG overlap with many African and recently descendant of (Last 1000 yrs), is quite obvious. How much more did Continental Africans know of the Afro-American Experience? Negritos are literally Little blacks, What was the Affinity they had with the African-American community? Very silly huh? see all of these Black People don't necessarily have close affinities to each other, A black Madagascan doesn't necessarily have any close affinity to an African American, and Afro-Americans generally aren't of Madagascan descent What affinity between the two made them both black besides designation.

And Aborigines have been influenced by civil rights movements and Aframs too, again there's obvious historical reasons for that, and the situation of Aborigines makes that a somewhat logical step. Including the fact that they were designated black peoples half way around the world experiencing much of the same things other designated blacks were experiencing.

(I don’t know why you brought albinos into this, totally irrelevant) Well Albinos have a skin color or lack of pigment, on this topic you referred to skin color, and they are still black, black is more than skin deep, and very appearance based all at the same time.
