they are considered aframs because of the 1 drop rule
If that did not exist they would not be considered black

But "Black" is not a phenotype descriptor in the US, as it is in the rest of the world. To be "Black" in the US is to be a descendant of West African slaves in the United States of any phenotype, and these four people above are more "Black" to me than a West African immigrant who was not apart of slavery in the US.
