Keys stated that as she grew up in New York she never had to experience feeling “not Black enough” or “not White enough”. However she became comfortable with her biracial heritage as it allows her to relate to different cultures.
A lot of people believe I’m part Jamaican, though I’m not. I’m definitely black and Italian and a little Irish or Scottish.

I will apologize in advance if I come off harsh.See there’s the problem with that arabs stuff,they were black period,probably some mixs bloods to.Now the African American term was brought about for political reasons.However were not the only ones who do that.You have people who’s family has been here for five generations saying I’m italian,and they’ve never seen Italy.Mexicans who can’t even speak spanish.German,Greeks,Russians etc,who never even seen those countries,stating that what they are.So why is it a problem when black people here do it?

I mean black men in general.Over the past 40yrs,babies daddies have given us a bad reputation.Here’s an example,I have a baby brother who’s 4.He’s in school now,and when I was on on break from school,he asked me to come up there with him.While I was there,the teacher seeing how attentive I was to him,asked me if I was black.Now I’m thinking it’s because of the way we look,but she thought because I took such good care of him,I was Samoan.Now I asked her why Samoan,her reply was because our black men don’t do that.Now this was a black woman talking to me,and I didn’t know how to take that

This is to Lauren,
True,she should have shown some respect and told him to step.But now a day how many people do that.To tell the truth,she better watch him,because if he can up and leave a family,watch out.
P.S.
No wonder we have such a bad rep
