    just because you´re light skinned you´re mixed … It´s bullshit. People who say sth like this must be slaped for cry sakes!!! I´m 100% cameroonian, and i´m light skinned, not mixed !!! in africa you can see all colours of black skin, so african americans, stop talking about africans, because apparently you don´t have any clue about africa and african people.

    Raven-Symone is a talented, intelligent, headstrong, and beautiful young woman. She like many American born Slave desendants are actually Hebrew-Israelites, Jews, and Nubians, etc. Though she calls herself the derogitory slave term African-American which is used divide us from other Slave descendants born abroad. Raven-Symone has also stated that she is Creole, and her Mother’s bloodline has Black, Latino, or Spanish in it; Her Father has Black, and White from his Bloodline
