How much melanin does one need to have to be black?
Well, when we say "black," we mean someone who has at least some African DNA, i.e. the African DNA of a few hundred years ago, not some residual DNA from a few hundred thousand. So I'd say to be "black," you need a non-zero amount of that DNA. Getting your hair crimped and applying a tanning agent is not sufficient.

Africa is extremely genetically diverse. What about people who have African ancestors but are light skinned? are they black too?

and can you demonstrate it's anything more than a skin tone?

oh, and I have a request. before you post anything more on the subject of transgendered people, please read this:
