That may be her point (I'm not sure what her point is) but my research hasn't led me to believe that light skinned Blacks are the result of genetic mutation in the same way that genetic mutation is responsible for the evolution of one race/color from another. In the case of African Americans, we have light skinned Blacks because of European, Native American, etc. ancestry (and this doesn't mean that dark skinned Blacks don't have such ancestry because many do, including myself).
My interpretation of genetic mutation (in this way) doesn't begat light skinned Blacks.
