But you are not most people

Activate self has the right idea. Are you saying man is somehow put on Earth, by design, and everyone is just a slightly to extremely lighter shade? Or are you talking of a melanin rapture once civilization gets going?

Or is this taking Adam and Eve too seriously and everyone is just an inbred white person, with less genetic variance?

I mean there are many ways to look at it, but my initial statement revolves around modern genetics. More specificly the "Out of Africa" theory, and the fact that all other races exist due to a lack of melanin, which was caused by changes in climate, diets and genetic mutations over time. However, all Homo-Sapiens still descend from a common stalk and or ancestor, that just so happened to have black skin. Of course people are free to poke holes in the "theory" and we can get into Yakub, albinism, the children of Noah and Neanderthals, but we'd all probably just end up talking in circles around our own beliefs. Plus, the OP is a hypothetical question that doesn't need to include science in order to explore it.

Also, George Washington Carver was most likely the mind behind Henry Ford's famous assembly line. An invention that helped to ushered in the Industrial Age Revolution. There is a reason why the facility where cars are manufactured is called a 'plant'. Of course if you know the history of GWC and his relationship with plants then you'll easily see the correlation that exist.

i've seen mixed-race people who lack the phenotypical traits from their 'black descent' be hated on by people of darker skin when the former express oppression they may have faced like they aren't black - but the darker skinned folks ain't ebon like their aboriginal ancestor so they undo the premise of their own argument. it's idiotic scorn.

if we continue to identify with something as arbitrary as the colour of our skin, which is essentially hive-minded, group-thinking identity politics, we're merely indicting ourselves of our own ignorance and perpetuating the same divisive thought.

let's accept we're all displaced mixed alien mongrels plucked from different parts of the galaxy and we all fucked each other enough over the few thousand years we've systematically been destroying this planet and one another for any of it to matter anymore.

also, i hate chinks @Aero

The better question, is what would happen if you switched white people with black people throughout history? What if 99.9 % of the presidents had been black instead of white? What if blacks enslaved whites for 400 years to build America?

The answer?

The same shit.
