It's because we come in all color's, the spectrum is very broad. Look at Nelson Mandella, he's pure african and he's light skinned. Usually african americans have some white blood somewhere down line and you never know when it's going to show up in your lineage. You can have a couple that are dark african americans and their kid comes out lighter skinned, it happens all the time. Plus in slavery time we did mix with the indians.

Only 30 percent of the African-American population have white descendents. Furthermore, the skin color or Africans range from brown to dark color.
