LOOK people. Stop arguing over Rihanna. she is an idiot who doesn’t appreciate any of her fans despite the extent of things people get up to. I’ve lost a lot of respect for her over the years especially now that she’s gone and made a song with the cunt that bettered her face! I’m 25% black, and 75% white (italian) i identify as white but i still acknowledged as part black. If the bitch dont like the whitness then leave her be. What do you care, she dont like you no matter your colour!

To be honest i take it quite offensive how a black person can have light brown skin but a white person can’t have naturally tan skin and look somewhat mixed. And the fact that people are still racist in the 21st century saying Angelina J is too exotic to be white even though she has no trace of any other race other than multiple white ethnicities. White people are stereotyped to be skinny, pale, blonde haired and blue eyed when in fact most of europe is not like that especially south and east europe.. Where i come from Angelina is a typical looking girl, maybe not every girl that beautiful because lets face it Angelina is pretty unique and very beautiful but we definitely don’t look like we are made out to. I myself look part black, and i hate it. Not it a racist way but I would love people to actually guess where i am from for once. And if i post a picture, nobody would believe me. White people are diverse looking.
Look at her – http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/5AAkZSZcRM7/Celebs+2012+NME+Awards+London/8dpZIm7VULN/Rita+Ora
She is full blooded Albanian from Kosovo, which is white! Exotic eh?

Obviously more, i just picked them out in particular because certain people are saying white people are not exotic, haven’t got big lips and cant have tan skin when in fact we can! LOL Hope you’s look past the stereotypes. Oh and rihanna is a very beautiful black woman, 25% white is nothing in my opinion. But whatevs! :P

Many Albanians are mixed with Turks/Arabs and are not white. Like the one in your pic for example.

@Sam you are obviously confused how long have you been on this site?
I`m not trying to claim anyone how sad would that be.”cough cough”
If you noticed it is the other way around on this site
Everybody that is of European ancestry and ok looking is either part Black,Asian or Hispanic (if that even makes sence) even Americans of European descent eg Minka Kelly Angelina Jolie
AND GIRLS FROM EUROPE eg Cathrine Zeta Jones Cheryl Cole .etc.THEY ARE NOT WHITE NOW.
Yes they are are lying about there heritage .as if
They know what they are .
The racists on here will not change my mind with there fantasies.
No European people can have big lips looked tanned have curly hair that means they are a different race nonsence.
Yes as i stated clearly I was being SARCASTIC.
This site says only blacks have big lips and that`s what the majority of people on here believe i`m not the one stating it as true.THEY ARE.
I know black people are diverse and have many looks.
Just like white people are very diverse with many looks.
End of .
Obviously the many trolls that visit this site think that WHITES ONLY HAVE ONE LOOK .. well i don`t even think the believe it themselves they just say it to be annoying and for a reason to be racist to whites.
And i don`t like the stereotypical look people on here try to give to whites it goes the same way.
You can`t have it one way for whites if there not pale as a ghost blonde and light eyes then they are not white.
The world has 2% natural blondes
And light eyes has only a minimal percentage also.
You can`t expect every white person to be blond with light eyes.
And everyone that is biracial is just black.etc
RIHANNA IS BLACK TO ME ALWAYS HAS ALWAYS WILL.
i THINK IT`S FUNNY ON HERE THOUGH HOW TO ME AND MOST RIHANNA IS BLACK.
BUT MEGAN FOX A WHITE GIRL WITH POSSIBLE 5% NA ANCESTRY IS NOW NOT WHITE BUT ONLY NA AND ONLY THE NA MAKES HER PRETTY.AND HER 95% EUROPEAN HERITAGE DID IT JUST GET WASHED AWAY OR SOMETHING?
AND ANGELINA JOLIE IS PART BLACK BECAUSE OF HER BIG LIPS.
HER HERITAGE IS DOCUMENTED AND SHE DOSEN`T HAVE ANY BLACK ANCESTORS BUT THE TROLLS STILL COMMENT THAT SHE IS NOT WHITE AND TOO EXOTIC.
WHAT THEY THINK ANGELINA IS PRETTY BUT DON`T WANT TO LIKE A WHITE GIRL SO THEY MAKE UP THAT SHE IS MIXED WITH BLACK ,IT WON`T CHANGE HER HERITAGE
AND RIHANNA IS ONE QUARTER WHITE BUT I STILL SEE HER AS A BLACK GIRL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE,
HMMM DOUBLE STANDARDS MUCH.
NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHO IS TRYING TO CLAIM WHO.
Do these racists not like black people ? is that why they want to claim every white celeb that looks ok as mixed black or any other race but white,Because that is how it seems to me.
Bunch of self haters i you ask me if you were happy with yourself you would not be going around trying to claim every white person as black or part BLACK,END OF RANT:)P

they’re claiming rihanna now? lol you can have her. Her features are black, yet they still want her.If rihanna was darker she could pass for an African woman. Hell have you seen her grandmother?

i’m sorry. i just find it funny, because i would NEVER claim one of you guys, even if you had black ancestry LOL. I’m African and i have full lips, however they’re not huge. I don’t look like your stereotypical black person. White people think blacks look a like, and when they see a good looking black person, they must be mixed. I’ll be damned if someone called me mix.

“Yes if you have quarter or a brain you will tell i`m being fucking sarcastic..:P”
That poster was being sarcastic. She states that at end of her post. She does not think Rihanna is white, and she’s not trying to claim her.
Black people do not look alike, nor do they have to be mixed to be attractive. African women are some of the most beautiful women on this earth.
This site is poison to anyone who is not mixed . . . Noticed how the moderator only have praises for those who are mixed. It’s pretty racist and does not educate anyone. It helps to further instill stereotypes and racism so that they claim everyone as “mixed.” Do not let it get to you. It’s Stormfront for mixed kids.

Here is the interview where Minka directly states her ethnicity, and they still deny she is “white” because they do not like that she has dark features.
The people on this site are losers. I advise everyone not to come on it. They simply reinforce stereotypes and racism. This site does not educate anyone. It only makes people more ignorant.

She is mostly white lol
According to this site only blacks have big lips and white cannot so she is white because she has small lips and Angelina Jolie is black because she has bigger lips while Rihanna is smaller.
That is my conclusion:P
Wow the people on this site have given me a new insight into life and race its amazing.
In conclusion i now think of Rihanna as white thanks to these great educated people.
White people cannot have, tanned skin,curly hair,be alright looking big lips,etc they are a whole different race altogether.
But biracial people etc are JUST black,
When i see a black person anymore when i go out i am going going to think of them as Caucasian not black.
I knew this site was educational people here are so smart and clever here i just don`t know how i have lived and taught the way i was thinking before .wow
Yes if you have quarter or a brain you will tell i`m being fucking sarcastic..:P

Yes her one quarter out weighs the three quarter black.
My way of seeing her is now white.
She has small lips like a white girl and no ass like a white girl.
Therefore she is WHITE.:P

Even if she sees herself as black she is not.

This should be fun i will go find more celebs i taught were black but now i must call them white because a lot have not big lips just like Rihanna therefore there race is now Caucasian ::P

Ethnic would you call this racism? Because i would, So i guess the crap policy of racist or abusive messages been blocked from here is just bs.
@AHH IF YOU KNEW HISTORY YOU WOULD KNOW THOUSAND OF IRISH SLAVES WERE BROUGHT TO BARBADOS AND OTHER COUNTRIES BY THE ENGLISH(CROMWELL) DURING THE TIME THEY CONTROLLED IRELAND.
So Barbados people are not just black.WHERE DO YOU THINK THESE IRISH WENT DO YOU THINK THEY FUCKING DISAPPEARED INTO THE GROUND.
iTS PROBABLY ONE OF THEM RIHANNA GOT HER IRISH HERITAGE FROM
GO READ HISTORY BOOK AND GET BACK TO ME IDIOT
IM GOING TO SHOW YOU A VIDEO OF TWO IRISH IN BARBADOS THEY LOOK MIXED TO ME .BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME ACCENT AS CORK PEOPLE FROM IREAND AND SAY ABOUT ALL THE IRISH NAMES THAT ARE OVER THERE.
AFRICAN SLAVES WERE BROUGHT THERE ASWELL AND IRISH AND AFRICAN WERE OFTEN MADE MIX SO THE SLAVE OWNERS COULD HAVE NEW SLAVES THEY DIDN`T HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY PAID FOR THE AFRICANS THE IRISH WERE FREE GAME BECAUSE THEY CONTROLLED IRELAND AT THE TIME.
.AND ALSO THE IRISH SKIN DIDN`T DO WELL IN HOT CLIMATE SO THEY NEW THE MIXED NEW SLAVES WOULD DO BETTER IN THE HEAT.
SO JUST STFU RACIST.

She’s black but she’s also white she still has a tie to her white ancestry just because more of her is made up of black doesn’t mean that makes that white fraction,there’s a reason it’s called 1/4 because that one still counts and makes up a percentage of her
