Ignorance rears its ugly head again. Lauren do u have any idea what u r talking about? Why are there light skinned africans then? Keri Hilson could be mixed with white but she doesnt have to be to look like that. You are very ignorant. You almost make me prejudice against white ppl. But I remember that not all of them think like you (even thought many do) and I will continue to show them the same love and friendship so long as they dont start talking like you.
There is no darker black skin or lighter black skin,once you black,you black period.
