DNA tests don't account for migration. For example, European colonizers were shipping negroes from America to settle in lands of West Africa. The slave trade started with Indians then Irish then Asian then Africans. There were also many "Back to Africa" movements with white supremacists involved along with Marcus Garvey. So these DNA tests could literally match an "African-American" to descendants of Americans in West Africa. Thousands if not millions of people were shipped from here to West Africa. Only about 300,000 Africans were brought to North America directly.
No it only means that the group is not closely related to the original people. A lot of crazy shit happens in America like European descendants claiming native ancestry. This has been going on for centuries. Even in the hippie movement most of these hippies started wearing feathers and practicing native culture in the wilderness. Many of the original tribes on the East Coast and South were either destroyed or disbanded by law. Some of the Midwest tribes are legit but many infiltrators claim false native ancestry.
It's not about relying on merely photos...the numbers don't add up to the "black" population in 1790.

People don't take into account classification and the meaning of words that differed in the past. How people's identity changed due to laws or because they were slaves aka property.

I am not relying on skin color...I am relying on oral history and heritage. Why would I put more trust into strangers (DnA companies) than my grandparents and ancestors. I don't believe in the Out of Africa theory. There were already dark negro like people in India before the Aryan invasion.
It won't be any surprise that some Africans have reached there and settled a long time ago before Columbus. I am not against that idea. But I am saying that the proof you are posting are useless and that they do not support your particular theory of most African Americans of today being native moors. It maybe something to look into, if you are interested in the topic. But you need to look for more authentic sources and information.
Nah Africans didn't settle in the Americas...it's possible but I disagree. Well I can't post everything on this website and since you're not really familiar with "African American" history and have been indoctrinated to accept one theory as fact I can understand your opinion. Many families in America were able to pass on important historical information so there are always different sides to a story.
Can you tell the difference between men from Papua New Guinea, Fiji, North America, and a indigenous West African?
1) You didn't even read what I posted about DNA testing.
2) How are you even adding the number in those two databases? I'm probably having a brain freeze day but please explain properly.
3) Aryan invasion theory died long time ago. People keeping it alive are often the same person who also will readily believe the flat Earth theory or the ones who don't want to accept they were wrong for political reasons.
4) Probably not but what's the point when I'm already saying that skin colour is only one of the several characteristic and not that reliable beyond very broad generalization.
