Don't underestimate the Germans and their belief in your relationship to them. I am assuming that you are African-American? The comments about Fufu kind of gave it away Quite a few German women married black American soldiers during WWII.
Yup. Dad was African American; more African than other, the other is mostly German and English (and he's a WWII vet!). Mom is Afro-Cuban, she's a Caribbean mulata whose roots before Cuba go back to Haiti, the Canary Islands, France and China, with some Taino and/or Ciboney thrown in.
Yeah, I know a few German-African people, and actually some of them look like me.

You'll find quite a few French-African people as well My own ancestors, Lenni-Lenape (maternal side), were at various times listed as mulatto, "colored" or white, depending on which town they lived in in southern New Jersey at the time of the census, LOL! Plus, quite a few of the African community in early NJ married into the Lenni tribes. Somehwere out there I have African-American cousins in NJ, but my dad's family lost touch with them sometime in the 1930's and I have not been successful in tracking any of them down
