What is the color of the nail bed in African Americans?
Depends on the amount of melanin in each individual. I will say a large percentage of African Americans have a dark pigmentation on their nail bed as opposed to someone of another race who has much less pigmentation. Dark nail beds have been known to show up even in very light skinned African Americans. This phenomenon of dark nail beds is not common to non African Americans.
What is a blonde retina?
"Blonde retina" refers to there being light pigmentation (as opposed to darker pigmentation) of the tissue behind the retina. People with blonde retinas sometimes complain of photosensitivity, as do some people with blue eyes and/or an astigmatism. As a person with that trifecta (blonde retinas, blue eyes, and an astigmatism), I find myself always taking efforts to avoid bright light, facing the sun, etc.

Why does a person with red hair and light complexion have a higher risk of getting skin cancer?
People with light complexions have less skin pigmentation. Skin pigmentation absorbs ultraviolet radiation and protects your DNA from damage from the sun. If you have less pigmentation and less protection for your DNA you are more likely to get skin cancer. This is why it is recommended that you should wear sunscreen.
Are black babies born with pink skin?
All human babies are born with lighter skin than they will have as adults, and even adults have a wide range of skin tones even within one race. Thus, some African American babies will have light, others dark, skin. There is no general rule. (And, in fact, white babies can actually have darker skin that black babies and vice versa.) As well, skin color can darken considerably in the months after birth. Some babies born of "African American" babies CAN LOOK "caucausian" at birth and throughout their lives. Why? Because somewhere in either the mother's or father's ancestry a white person had sex with a black person. This is how "passing for white" was possible in previous decades. Historically, "passing for White" had economic and societal advantages. Now, it doesn't matter except where racism still exists.
