    Why most of these most famous black stars in USA are mostly really mixed or African descent but from other countries like Jamaica an not African-American?

      Well that’s not completely accurate, most of our celebs are home grown. However people from places like Jamaica for instances, have been coming into the African American community since like the 1800’s. I had no idea while growing up , that Sidney Poitier ancestry was from The Bahamas( but he was born here). Or that my maternal grandfather, came from Latin American. Does that make me less of an American because of where one of my grandparents came from?

      Now as far as the mix thing goes, AA’s have go through the same thing every other black group has . There has been a lot of mixing going on, voluntary or involuntary. We’ve had thousands of half black child shipped here from Europe in the 50’s. Also from these DNA results people show, AA’s here are starting to get more and more diluted. Plus that’s what Hollywood is looking for

    Damn this dude is a ugly creep who dated a 17 year old. Black and Asian mixed people look like Asians with super dark skin. Asian genes are really strong.
