You can see black people anywhere that look like them. They still wouldn't be as representative as blacks whose ancestors had a wider gene pool.
This is pretty elementary to understand.
No, you want people to believe that most Black Americans are Beyonce and Keri Hilson's skin tone which is incredibly untrue. You want to exclude the AAs down south because of how they look which is very prejudice.

I never said that.
You apparently have a chip on your shoulder, which prevents you from being unbiased in this discussion.
You can have Beyonce's skin tone and still look African, due to having more African features. My aunt is lighter than Beyonce, yet looks more African. You can be darker and have caucasian features.
I myself am not light skinned (see my photo).
I'm not excluding anyone. You're just saying something absurd that has no basis in fact because you feel that there's prejudice against dark skinned AA's. Well, there is prejudice against Han Chinese but saying they are not physically representative of the Chinese population is not a biased statement.
The fact is interbreeding creates a smaller gene pool which in turn creates reduced genetic diversity that in turn makes the subsequent population less representative. This is just a fact that makes a lot of communities like those in LA less representative than populations such as those in NYC and Boston that have more genetic flux.
Pay attention, and don't let whatever chip on your shoulder you have get in the way of your logical reasoning skills (assuming they are intact to begin with ).

NYC cannot be a representation because they have a lot of immigrants. Not sure about Boston.
Still, I don't think you should entirely exclude LA because you think they have less genetic diversity. They are apart of the AA community and proof that many still look like their ancestors.
Actors and actresses are not good examples, Hollywood is not overly fond of very African-looking actors and actresses. Just yesterday I read an article about racism in Hollywood...
Having said that, I think Morgan Freeman looks rather African
Do blacks in LA on average look different from other AA's, like those in, say, Cincinnati or Boston or Memphis?
Let's make sure we have this straight: By LA, we mean Louisiana, not Los Angeles. I would posit that there is more genetic diversity in the Northeast and West (particularly in the metropolitan areas) since these populations have less insularity and a wider gene pool. This just makes common sense.
If you posted a scientific/genetic explanation for what I was saying was false, I'd retract my statement.
Fact is you won't, because you either are too thick too comprehend it or are deliberately obtuse. Take your pick.
No, I defintely think you have an agenda. You are incredibly prejudice against darker skinned African featured Black people and you don't want to include them in the AA community. You are separating them as if they don't matter.
It's evident by the fact that you want to get cosmetic surgery so you can have a higher nose bridge like your twin sister.
It all makes sense now.
