CultureRe: Why Do African Americans Generally Have Lighter Skin Tone Than Africans? by SocialWerker: 2:31am On Mar 22, 2018
Spurdo:
In general it is because there is usually a healthy admixture of of European haplotypes. Prior to Europe outlawing the slave trade european ethnic minorities were sold into slavery in North America. Point of fact is that the original slave population in the American colonies was primarily Irish. as slavery was gradually abolished in Europe the African slave trade was spearheaded by the Jewish slave traders. These Jews began to breed their African slave stock with the Irish slave stock. Over time as the European slaves were phased out the African admisture increased proportionally resulting in darker and dark slaves. With the abolition of slavery in the United States the "African American" genetic pool stabilized around certain areas resulting in, more or less, a generalized look that became stereotypical of Americans born people of African descent.

You are left with a mongerlized sub-species inferior to the original stock. This is why African Americans are generally looked down upon by both African expatriots as well as Irish expatriots. This is typified in the Amerimutt(56%) meme which is currently experiencing a surge of popularity on European and Anglosphere websites as a way to insult Americans.
This is for the most part untrue. The Irish were indentured servants in America, not slaves. White supremacist in America created that myth to belittle the suffering of African/African American Slaves. Here's an article for you: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/17/us/irish-slaves-myth.html

Irish and African slave stock were never bred together. Black Americans are lighter skinned because white male slave masters routinely raped and impregnated black women.

The Irish look down on African Americans because they're white and they look down on all black people including continental Africans. Africans look down on African Americans because they believe the lies white folks create about us like the mess you wrote.

It is impossible to list all the contributions African Americans have made to America because we have contributed so much. Here's in article from National Geographic that discusses how slavery helped build the world economy: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/01/0131_030203_jubilee2.html

African American Benjamin Banneker was part of a team that surveyed the borders of the original capital of the United States of America. The United States capital was literally built by slaves.

African American slave York participated in the Lewis and Clark Expedition which explored and mapped the Western part of the United States.

African Americans are responsible for many of the inventions used in every day life in America.
-African American Lewis Latimer created the light bulb that uses a carbon filament which last longer and made light bulb production cheaper. His light bulb made it possible for people to have artificial light in their homes.
- African American Philip B. Downing created the first tamper proof mailbox. Tamper proof mailbox are used at all U.S. Post Offices.
-African American Dr. Charles Drew developed improved techniques for blood storage and helped established the first blood banks.
-African American Otis Boykin created a control unit for the artificial heart pacemaker. The device essentially uses electrical impulses to maintain a regular heartbeat.
