No.
23andMe did an average of all the African American DNA they tested and came to these results. But all the DNA testing companies came to the same conclusion.
That's not all. Several geneticists were also interested in the subject and pursued research on it:
Tales of African-American History Found in DNA
"In the new study, Dr. Gravel and his colleagues analyzed the DNA of 3,726 African-Americans who participated in three separate medical studies.
The scientists were able to pinpoint stretches of DNA in the subjects that originated on different continents. According to their calculations, the ancestors of the average African-American today were 82.1 percent African, 16.7 percent European and 1.2 percent Native American.
Dr. Gravel and his colleagues also estimated when those genes were introduced."
The geneticists are Canadians.
Here, it's researchers for Penn State University:

"What they discovered contradicts some of the previous studies on the subject where it was thought that Blacks were about 30% white. They conclude that the average Black American is 17-18% white. But this is an average and it depends on the location."
I think this is enough proof I don't even really want to talk about that as we know the history of the subject
This is the average among the 11 cities they tested,and it ranges from as low as 11% to as high as 30%,and its only about 3000 subjects. Not enough to say "the average black american". Especially not when the averages vary so widely.
I don't know what they are taking into account when they do these test.
Are they even taking account who are the europeans,and where they descend from?
Armenians are considered europeans and share much of the same DNA as ethiopians.
"Armenians have also been known for at least 1000 years as the Amalekites of the bible which were present in North Africa and Southern Arabia and were said to have migrated north and settled in present day Armenia. The Armenian DNA Project found that we do in fact carry large amounts of Haplogroups J1 and J2 along with the R1B1A
Armenians and dark skinned north-Africans most likely birthed the entire middle east as we know it today."
And the most important factor involving this is that europeans come from black people too,mutations of black people, and come from albino descent. So saying we are 20% european,80% black. When you do the math it still comes up that we are practically 100% black
