Black and white races are social constructs that have no scientific basis any way. If these social constructs weren't created, there would be any stupid arguments about people being black and white in regards to anything. Human beings are far too diverse to be pinned down to color names. There is a highly great amount of diversity in Africa alone. Africans have the greatest genetic variation. Africa is an extremely diverse continent with over 2,000 ethnic groups. That includes Nigeria with over 400 ethnic groups. These social constructs of races were created out of ignorance. I stopped believing in the social constructs of the black and white races over 7 years ago.
Race started as as a marker of kinship, but then we see it shift to become less about familial inheritance and more focused on physical indicators due to the rise of Enlightenment reasoning and labor exploitation.

I have been into Genetic Genealogy since 2011. The more I read up on genetics of human populations, the more I am convinced that the social constructs of the black and white races are outdated and stupid.

Africans have more genetic variation than anyone else on Earth.

I never believed in the one drop rule which is outdated, racist, and stupid. I even identified as multiracial/multiethnic for the last 3 US Censuses.
According to a 2015 research study, The Genetic Ancestry of African Americans, Latinos, and European Americans across the United States:
From 23andme database
African Americans show average proportions of 73.2% African, 24.0% European, and 0.8% Native American ancestry.
Latinos show average proportions of 65.1% European, 18.0% Native American, and 6.2% African ancestry
European Americans show average proportions of 98.6% European, 0.19% African, and 0.18% Native American ancestry

BTW....All three live action Catwomen are significantly mixed African, European
Eartha Kitt was the daughter of a European American man and African American woman
Halle Berry was the daughter of an African American man and European American woman
Both of Zoe Kravitz's parents are offspring of an African American parent and Ashkenazi Jewish American parent
My 23andme Ancestry Composition shows that I am 49.7% African, 47.5% European, 1.7% Native American as well as 0.6% West Asian, 0.3% Chinese/Southeast Asian, 0.2% Unassigned
parental inheritance derived from my DNA phasing between my mother's DNA and my DNA
African: 43.4% is paternal, 6.3% is maternal
European: 43.2% is maternal, 4.3% is paternal
Native American: 1.0% is maternal, 0.7% is paternal
West Asian: 0.6% is maternal
Chinese/Southeast Asian: 0.3% is paternal
Unassigned: 0.2% is maternal
My haplogroup tests from FamilyTreeDNA show that my Y DNA haplogroup E-BY101982 which is an African haplogroup and that my Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is J1c14 which is a European haplogroup.
