anonymous, u wnt understand bcs u are nt black. evey1 thnks black ppl shld be pitch black. Sweety im married to a white man en u shld c our child. ignorant ppl like u will argue that she is nt black…just gt over ur selves and accept that black is ther and its goin nowhere
I could hardly tell Kimora has black in her as oppose to other celebs like Amerie. Kimora’s dad must have been mixed with something else and was a light skinnd african american.
hey Lala, what is your race?:)
I hear you ethnic. I’m getting sick of people seeing my race first, as opposed to who I am. F**king sick to my guts.
or imagine a world where all whites are fair as snow, blacks are darker than ebony, asians are yellow, and hispanics and brown. Everyone would know exactly what ethnicity you are. But its not so, nor was it ever so. We have come together and mixed and made even more different looking people and thats beautiful. be proud of your ethnicity. We are all apart of the same race. the human race.
