Your claim was that "darker skin [is] the normal, natural human colour". That's just tosh, and that's the politest word I could think of for the claim. Human skin occurs both normally and naturally in a range of shades from an almost-black brown to a very pale pinky-peach. None of this was the result of purposeful genetic manipulation or intervention, so yeah, it's natural by any definition of the word that I can imagine being reasonable.

Albinism occurs naturally also, but it's obviously not a typical feature of any given population. (I'm not going to get into the issues with constructions of "normality" here.)
