We are much closer to africans than we are to chimps or neanderthals.

Wait, how is the last one possible when Neanderthals bred with Humans outside of Africa?

Neanderthals have contributed approximately 1-4% of the genomes of non-African modern humans, although a modern human who lived about 40,000 years ago has been found to have between 6-9% Neanderthal DNA (Fu et al 2015). The evidence we have of Neanderthal-modern human interbreeding sheds light on the expansion of modern humans out of Africa. These new discoveries refute many previous hypotheses in which anatomically modern humans replaced archaic hominins, like Neanderthals, without any interbreeding. However, even with some interbreeding between modern humans and now-extinct hominins, most of our genome still derives from Africa. Neanderthals could not have contributed to modern African peoples’ genomes because Neanderthals evolved and lived exclusively in Eurasia and therefore could not have bred with the humans living in Africa at that time.

Edit: And to make these matters more complicated, keep in mind that many African slaves brought to the new world had sexual relations with their slavemasters. This is why it's more accurate to call Black Americans an entirely new ethnic group, since they have 20% White genes running inside them.
