What he's talking about is there's not a single gene that makes someone black. What we call "black" is a collection of genes, that plenty of white people also share. It's a combination.

The whole idea of seperate races is false, it was just created so we could have racism. Because of where we evolved different genotypes are present, but we're all the same animal.

A black man has dark skin and eyes to protect him from the sun, a white man has more oil in his skin to protect him from the cold.

And the genes that have historically most important - skin color aren't even absolute genes. Some genes are either one or the other, like eye color. The genes that decide skin color are relative - you usually get a mixture of both parents rather then the same gene as one of them. Hair's the same way, your hair is usually somewhere in between your mothers and your fathers.
