When I was in New York most Aframs gave me the impression to be between 70% and 90% SSA, so I'd say the average Afram is 80% SSA. What do you think?

It might depend on what part of the US they are from, I heard from one American member here that race mixing was less taboo in certain states back in the day, like Louisiana for example.
I think according to 23andme data, the average African American is 73% SSA.

On average, African Americans have 73.2-82.1% West African, 16.7%-24% European, and 0.8–1.2% Native American genetic ancestry, with large variation between individuals.

Probably 80-85% SSA. These studies like to whitewash every group of people as much as possible.
