Personally, I think that "aboriginal Africans" hardly form
a race. But if the previous poster insists on naming some
race that spans all of Africa, why not "African"?

By the way, the previous poster did specify that he wanted a racial
name for "aboriginal" Africans, excluding the descendents of
white settlers, etc. Perhaps my excision of that qualification
threw you for a loop.
