    I have an nephew who’s light-skinned. In fact, he has the exact color complexion as Chris. And, both of his parents are black/african american. His mom, has an brown skinned complexion. His father, is not too much lighter than she is. When I was born, I were really, really light-skinned. Both my parents aren’t so light-skinned, aswell. Now that I’m older, my skin color is just bright brown.

  2. Agreed says:

    I agree with you, Jay. Everyone, should just stop refereeing him as an “black man”. If that’s what you’re saying. Besides, if he’s biracial, maybe they’ll lighten up on black men.

  3. Jay says:

    If Chris Brown’s biracial, I’m changing my entire opinion about him.

  4. Wrong! says:

    Chris is still considered MIXED! Not biracial. His mom is obvi a mixed black woman and he has her genetics!

    Well I am black,atleast that’s what i keep telling myself! Lol! I have a german ancestry and my grandparents are fair curly haired and mixed race. My hair is somewhat straight but i still associate myself with black,i guess its because i was raised as a black. It gets difficult when people around me start asking about my hair and how come i say am black,am also light-skin in complection. What am i realy?
