    Chris Brown has Native American in him not white. I always knew he had Native American blood in him because of his nose, skin and slanted eyes. He tweeted about this. He has Pamunkey Indian in him.

      Do you know how slanted eyes look like? Do you even know the meaning of “slanted”? Lol…

      He’s got deep-set, hooded eyes (or as I call them, “bedroom eyes”). If someone has these kind of eyes, it doesn’t mean that they have “Mongoloid” roots…

      If anything, I think Brown has European ancestry – English, Irish and maybe even Italian…

      No girl….his mother has non-brown eyes and brown hair natural.

    I believe Chris Brown has some white ancestry in him. Probably recent too. His mom is very light skinned. She looks half white. Maybe he doesn’t want to admit it but its pretty obvious. I know sometimes he looks a little south African but no pure 100% south African has a mother with a skin that light….. by the way his mom is pretty. Not a fan of him though

    @peanut when I think of a male mullato half black phenotype, I think of Derek Jeter who has a black dad and white mom

    @peanut that Cape Verdean family does not look like Chris Brown at all. Chris Brown has kinkier hair and more African features. Again , I think the only thing you are basing your observations on is skin tone. And skin tone is not an accurate judge of admixture.
