most cape verdean are mixed race, she’s 1/4th black probably
don’t think her mother is fully black
This is a picture of her, she doesn’t look fully black. She looks hella mixed. http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo126/theybf/JUNE%202011/c9e4d569.jpg
wtf@
but cape verdeans are mixed with white
most are mullato
@WTF, her mom does not look Hella mixed. Actually her mom looks African American. Her mom reminds me of that 70s black actress that played Cleopatra Jones.
Sorry her mom (who is hella Hot!!) don’t look like Cleopatra Jones, Tamara Dobson,(who was dark and very lovely). She looks like a darker brown Italian. Don’t know how she was raised to identify socially.
what the hell is a “darker brown Italian”..that woman is NOT European.
Now she claims “ImScottishBitch” lol, also there’s no evidence about an Irish/Italian ancestry from “Levonchuck” side..just an attention whore
Nigga please. Here we fucking go again, saying everyone looks BLACK. It’s so fucking annoying and old already. You damn well know Amber’s mom doesn’t look like Tamara Dobson. She ACTUALLY looks like Pam Grier who is mixed like Amber’s mom, so shut the fuck bitch. So what you gonna say next huh??? Quincy Jones’ daughter looks soooo black??? What about Jennifer Beals? Does she also looks like your average “African American”. Nigga please!!!!!!!
To clarify from an older post…Amber’ s mom looks like to me like a darker Italian, it doesn’t mean that she IS Italian. She has Cape Verde ancestry where some but definitely not all have some Portuguese or Euro ancestry similar to another African country, Angola.
Quadroon.
To people saying she looks orange well she does in this photo but ifyou go to her instagram she has plenty of pictures without makeup and you can she she’s clearly not just white
Looks Like A Prettier Version Of Mariah Carey. But Too Bad Amber Is A Skank.
Looks like a white girl with a tan.
PLEASE! You would see all kind of wrinkles on her face lets be honest. White people age like milk and she definitely doesn’t have the body of a white woman. GIRL/BOY BYE!
Lmfao girl speak the truth! White people age like shit. Black don’t crack, bitch!
