The average AA is about 12% white. This is due to centuries of rape during slavery, and now days from intermixing. Also, yes some black folk are lighter then others.
Jimmy Adams, 2 Jamaican parents, is very light skinned.

Usually when watching black american fighters like Roy Jones Jr, George Foreman and SRL they're lighter in skin than pure african fighters.. Why is it all African-american fighters doesn't have the dark color of say.. Antonio Tarver? It's a legitimate question i'm just wondering about..
and there is no black skin color, just brown...really light brown-really dark brown

...It has more to do with being pulled out of hot ass, disease infested, skin baking Africa for a life of luxury in the USA where they can have soft light colored skin. Additionaly, African-Americans can live the American dream instead of running around a jungle with a bone in their nose, dying of the HIV, or chasing a cargo ship in a rubber raft. The easier life gives the skin a less harsh look.

Only a few % have white in them. It's the environment and the lifestyle. Africa is hot, people work hard.....etc, people are bound to stay black. It's the same as American-Latinos being a little fair skinned than those who are in their native country.
