<quoted text>You've only to look at Mahamed Alli (the boxer) to see that he was of white ancestry,especially when you see his mother,who was quite lightskinned.Now you're mentioning his father's Irish routes,never knew this of his father.So that makes Alli of white ancestry on both his mother,and father's sides of the family.

I dont know about his fathers side, but his mothers gandfather was from county Clare in Ireland, however Im sure he had white ancestry on his dads side too, I think like 80% of african americans are of european ancestry, including that guy who started this pole flavor or whatever his name is, he most likely does too

Don't trip Uce, Of course two races that don't like each other won't like the mix of a child of those two in many cases. But it's going to happen, always has, always does.

Yeah, I feel you uce. That's totally true. In life, that's just small stuff. People shouldn't sweat it so much.

Bless.

wow some of you people dont know what the hell your talking about.
let me just narrow it down to you blacks and whites:
WE r biracial, meaning equal parts of white and black. if we want to be freaking black, then okay we call ourselves black. but if we want to be white, okay, we call ourselves white. no questions asked!!!
...and if you want to challenge this, go ahead, bt i have you know, we are people too, we have strong opinions too, and some of our opinoins r not the same as yours.
this is my opinoin: we're not black, if you have two black parents, then yeah, you are. but if you have one white parent, then according to all of this bullshit blacks have been putting us through all these freaking years of confusion, then we're just as white as the rest of you white people out there.

so dont just hate us because we look a certain way. and maybe we LOOK white because...r u ready for this?...WE ARE WHITE!
...maybe we have white features b/c we r white
...maybe we have white hair b/c we r white
...maybe we have white skin b/c we r white
r you getting this? i hope you are, because this is very simple, a hell of alot more simple than any of you can ever make it.

Your alright Kara. You have to admit though, a bit of African in one's genealogy beefs up the disposition.

I think the European/African/other combo might be called the American melting pot patriotic disposition.

THANK YOU!!! I'M TIRED F BLACKS CALLING EVERYBODY BLACK ITS RIDICULOUS!!! THEY NEED TO STOP HATING THEMSELVES AND START CLAIMING THEIR OWN JET BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE. THEY DONT LIKE THEIR OWN IMAGE, WHICH ISNT UGLY, BY HIDING BEHIND ALICIA KEYS, TYRA BANKS, MARIAH CAREY, AND ALL THE OTHER WHITE-LOOKING MIXED PEOPLE. there u have it.^_^

There are so many rascist people on this forum. My son is biracial and is the most beautiful 3 year old you'll ever meet. I'm white with blond hair blue eyes and his father is very dark sinned with dark eyes full lips etc.. my son was very light when he was born, but as he gets older he's dark skinned and looks just like hs dad to a t. even if he looked more like me he would still be beautiful. i believe all people have some beautiful, tangible attributes but really it's the person's heart and soul that makes them genuinely beautiful.

It's really funny how some black people are.
Some of them have a difficult time accepting other black people with very very dark skin. Others dissaprove of those with light skin or who are of mixed race. We even have people questioning the blackness of those who speak different. None of these people are white, Asian or anything else.
Scotty beam me the hell up from here!

Billy from Panama City,FL on the topic light skin blacks have it easier claims all light skin blacks have nonblack ancestors.

I don't like biracial people because they cause confusion in situations that are already confusing. For instance, someone will take someone who is biracial like Halle Berry and use her as an example of why not all black people have typical negro features. They will ignore the fact that she is mixed and say that this is a normal look for black women who are not mixed. I heard someone say "hey look at Vanessa williams, shes black and has long hair and lightskin which proves blacks can have those features". They are basically ignoring the fact that she is mixed. This why i don't care for them so its not them personally, its the confusion they cause.

Your a racist.Vanessa Williams is not biracial.

She's not calling her "biracial." She's pointing to the fact that Williams *clearly* has biracial ancestry...

As most of us African-Americans probably do, except that with a complexion such as mine, the rest of us hide it much better, and can smugly assume we're not biracial or not "mixed."

A black person doesn't have nonblack ancestors because of their complexion.

Duhhhh! Correct. Straighten out the chain of causation.

A Vanessa-Williams-complexioned black person has that complexion *because* of nonblack ancestors.
Okay??
