African Americans have a good chunk of white, native american and other stuff in 'em too.

Culturally have a very tenuous at best connection to the continent of Africa too, imo.

I don't think this is unreasonable

I don't think its tenuous if people can still identify you as black, after more than 300 years or so of inter-breeding and cross-marrying and your skin color remains predominantly black, that means you are predominantly descended from blacks from Africa.

But all blacks are not necessarily from Africa, i have seen very dark people or black people in India, who i doubt has any or much genetic link to us, and the Australian Aboriginals are blacks from elsewhere according to studies.

The reality is that humanity can be called afircan because the first human beings on the planet are African, so all descend from them. Africans are the prototype human beings. All this other racist BS was started by racist crackers who wanted to use these terms to justify their inhuman savage behavior towards Human beings of color.
