Again, I don't believe in an actual Adam and Eve, so a discussion of their skin color would be merely chin wagging.    Since I don't believe in them, how can I have any belief whatsoever in the actions of their children or the consequences of those actions.   And, since I don't believe that the Almighty feels any different towards one ethnic group over another, I don't really care what the bible has to say about it.
Anthropologically and archaeologically, time and again, science has shown that the first people on this planet were Africoid in body and face.  You can flap that tattered KJV in front of everybody's face, but that doesn't change empirical science for the rest of the world, just for you.   If you wish to believe such things, well, live and let live, I say.
On a side note, I am a white man, German of ancestry, and have read dump truck loads of books (including the Bible, which I still read) in my 41 years.  That doesn't make me better than anyone else, but to pose the questions you posed just now to an educated man kind of seals off any debate or discussion, which is what a discussion board is supposed to be about.
One last thing, there ARE people who, when they hear "It's in the bible" will always respond "So what?"
I am one of those people.
On second thought, forget I posted.   We really don't have anything to say to each other.
Have a nice day.
