Not to mention, I believe people like the ”Realist” need to take a page out of Blake’s parents’ book and learn to love and accept all human beings! Based on what they have said, I think it may be one of the greatest things to happen in their life. Just saying.

I’m also a female born into an interracial family and as so, I know that there is nothing more hurtful than being judged or disliked based on superficial things such as colour of your skin, the language you speak, your religion or your country of origin. I say this because these are things that are irrevocable. Unlike your race, someone who’s unpunctual for work or school, can work on that and change it. Someone who gossips too much can work on changing it, and eventually do so. Someone who may be a terrible driver, again, with work can change the way they drive. Certainly, every one is entitled to their own opinion and they do have the freedom to express said opinion but I, and others also have the freedom to not give a crap about your opinions also! But still. Say what you will about his appearance, his ethnicity, his upbringing and so forth… Blake Griffin (in my opinion) is still a tremendous talent in the NBA and really, his skills/abilities, as well as his character are what he really wants to be judged on.. not stupid racial/ ethnic silliness.

Why do y’all care? If someone says somthing that bothers you, does it really matter? Because, last time I checked, the only opinion that matters is yours. If someone is mixed, I don’t care. The only thing I would judge them on is the content of their character, not the color of their skin. And who wants to be judged on their skin tone? We’re all equal, so who cares? Just because someone is saying something that you don’t agree with, you don’t have to go out of your way and bash them. Besides, everybody is beautiful in their own way. That doesn’t mean they have to be pretty in the face, it just means that the are good at something. So, who cares?

I’m sorry. I need to include more which is a shame I’m wasting my time on such a prick like yourself. You’re saying that Victoria Justice, Adriana Lima, Barack Obama, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Miles Austin, Tony Romo, Bruno Mars, Chad Michael Murray, Derek Jeter, Bob Marley, Corbin Bleu, Vanessa Hudgens, Jay Baruchel, Adrien Grenier, Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Keanu Reeves, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Theo Walcott, Tim Howard, Stacy Dash, Jason Kidd, Jesse Williams, Tiger Woods, Cher, Michael Jackson, Naomi Campbell, Tyga…. are also all ugly? Sweetie, you’re so wrong. I feel so bad for you. Not to mention I, also am of mixed race. I don’t know a single person of mixed race who doesn’t take pride in their ethnic background and we really don’t give a flying shit what people like yourselves have to say because in the end, your backwards way of thinking and closed minded mentality make you faaaar way inferior than what you think those of mixed race or different races are. Sorry, you probably won’t be able to grasp your mind around this though- too many words.

I’m going to check on those names.Even without checking I’m telling you Kim Kardashian is not mixed.She is caucasian.
remember ,everyone except blacks(who satyed back in africa) moved out of africa(out of africa) theory and ,ahem,messed around with neanderthals.
So we can have a little bit of,cough *neanderthal* dna.
Apart from that se is caucasian and they did a dna check on her too I don’t remember where but I did see it on tv.
She likes black guys because they’re into butts like hers,literally too
:-)
So she gets some pretty big,strong black guys and remember she is dark for a white girl and in the us ,white men are primarily blonde hunters.gentlemen prefer blondes.Hence she prolly thought better to get a black guy.

Saying mixed kids are beautiful does not mean that other kids are not beautiful. Stop being so oversensitive. Certain people like the way mixed children/people look because they are unusual looking, exotic, can have both the appealing features of Afr Am and Europeans. If you look at the modeling industry right now, there is a huge market for ethnically generic (you cant really tell what they are) or mixed people. Look at Rihanna’s new boyfriend who is no doubt about to start a massive modeling career. He also died his hair blonde. Does that mean he is ashamed of his Afr American heritage? No. It just means he thinks it looks cool/interesting to have blonde hair. The “mixed” look is in right now. Im sure 100 years from now there will be just as many mixed as nonmixed people and it will no longer be an interesting look.
Honestly EVERYONE is not physically attractive. Going around saying every single child is beautiful is just a blatant lie. There are beautiful black people, beautiful white people, and beautiful mixed people. One is not better than the other, they are just different.
And if your opinion is so blatantly wrong, you are technically entitled to hold it. But I also have the right to tell you how dumb it is.

The guy in Rihannas video is not African American he is an English guy of Irish-Caribbean descent, His name is Dudley O Shaughnessy ,His father is Irish hence the O Shaughnessy second name and his mother from the Caribbean,And yes he was a model aswell before he did that video which was shot in Northern Ireland i think thats where she spotted him. She is supposed to have picked him herself for the video because she liked him so much,,ashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG8852635/Dudley-OShaughnessy-the-knock-out-model-whose-name-is-on-everybodys-lips.html

That’s incredibly ignorant. I honestly can’t believe that somebody could think like that at this point. I’m half Jamaican and half Italian and I’m most likely better looking than you. I also feel connected to both of my parents. Also, Blake is hot, so maybe you’re just a little bit jealous, racist.

I too am proud of my African American roots. People we must remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The realist feels that way and has every right to believe so. If you don’t agree that’s fine too. I believe that it’s totally ignorant for someone to make the statement that “mixed kids are beautiful” like moe said ( oh so moe are you saying that Black babies aren’t beautiful) or how Abby said, “I’m most likely better looking than you” ( Into your self much Abby) So Abby because you are mixed that makes you better than everyone else? Wow!! This is probably why The Realist said what he/she did. People in society keep making statements about how mixed children are beautiful instead of saying that all children are beautiful because they are gifts from GOD. People need to stop being so colorstruck. It doesn’t matter what your ethnicity is: WE ARE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN and he doesn’t love us any less because one person is half and half. Grow up people!!
