Just wanted to point out an interesting factoid. In Shia Islam, we have 12 leaders (called Imams) after the Prophet (s). By the time you get to Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a), each Imam goes to Africa (primarily Eastern Africa) to find a wife. Hence why the lineage is assumed to have 'darkened' in skin tone till the prophesized Mahdi (as) who is expected to come as a 'black man' or noticeably African. It's the reason why in my own clan in Somalia, we actually have ancestors from the Imams all the way to Imam Ali (as) the cousin of the Prophet (s). According to some traditions, Imam Ja'far Sadiq recommended to his sons to marry African women because they were the best of faith and spirituality.

Sorry Shi’ism does not have anything to do with Islamic teachings. I am a Somali too and 99.999 are Sunni. Sunni meaning they uphold the teachings of the way of the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salām and we don’t believe any man unless a Prophet/Messenger is infallible like your 12 imams and are said to be. No man,except the above,are sinless. The Mahdi coming as a black man or white man is not narrated by the Messenger alayhi salaatu wa Salām rather he will be from Makkah.

Eurocentric history is just ahistorical
