Paula Patton may be a little lighter than Amber Rose yet Amber Rose definitely has stronger Euro / narrow facial features as oppose to Paula Patton who still looks more black than Amber Rose (Patton’s nose width is broad and shorter than Amber’s.)

Why are people debating whether she is black or not? Who cares what she is genetically, obviously all she cares to be is black. She only dates black men, is always on these black blogs and has constant features in black men magazines. She talks black and acts black. Not being racist just being real. She wants to be black, and will likely have black children. That is the culture she identifies with, so be it.

True. She is black anyway. But also other things. Being not 100% African doesn’t make someone ”not black” just as being part black doesn’t stop someone being Irish or ”white” etc. It just means they are all these things. Jim Crowe laws were stupid and racist.

She should really identify as all of her ethnic groups though. Again because I do not like the Jim Crowe view of ethnicity.

When she said white she was referring to her complexion not her race. I would know. I went to school with her.

She never had any white friends and would often mock their accents.

She prefers the black race.

This is what white Americans would look like if they reversed roles with black Americans. Most black Americans are close to a quarter European, give or take a few, so if white Americans were close to a quarter black African, this would be how white Americans would look.

Mulatto+white does not equal black. She is around (give or take a few) 3/4 white and 1/4 black. In other words, she’s a quadroon. Well give or take a few. Pretty much, she is mostly white with a little black thrown in.

She is not a quadroon. Her father is white and her motber is black Cape Verdean. I am really not sure why she is being called a quadroon. Paula Patton is lighter then her. I am a biracial (black mom, white dad) and based on people I know biracials like me and Amber and Keyshia Cole amd Faith evans tend to be darker.

@Gutierrez You are correct. Her mother is Cape Verdean. African Americans think that being 400 miles off the coast of Senegal makes CV’s African, where the reality is cv’s are a mix of Portuguese and African. Amber’s mother is probably around 50% Portuguese, making Amber about 25% Subsaharan African and 75% European.
