black wallstreet wow awesome job. I have also been reading history and many northern whites would agree with what you would have said. My son is metis black and white he doesn’t look black so he isn’t mixed with it? Time and time again the truth has been proven about black being in in Western Europe and Eastern Europe put racist people will say it is not true. So the Queen of England doesn’t have black blood because she doesn’t look like it she sure does and many royal families all over Europe that are related to her do. Get over it people I will teach my metis son to love embrace his whiteness and blackness it is who he is he came from great line of people.

Hi Folks!
Let me educate you guys. I am a Cuban of 100% Spanish decent. I know this because ALL my great grand parents were born in Spain. I’ve been to northern Spain and almost every girl has a big ol booty! As one stated, “Las espanolas tenemos cuerpo de guitarras.” Translation, Spanish women have guitar shaped bodies. Also, I live in a area of Northern California that is pridominately White and Mexican, I can easily say that most of the White girls have butts and many Mexican girls do not. Most of the Mexican girls that do have large bums are more Spanish looking. Big butts mostly come from the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa. That would explain why Selma Hyek who is of mostly of Lebanese and Spanish decent has her Curves and others like Kim Kardashian(Armenian), Jersey Shore Chicks(Mostly Italian), and JLo(Puertorican). For the record indiginous people of the Carribean are pretty much non-existint, especially in Cuba. So there’s no way Vida Guerra has Taino roots. She does look mix, most likely between Spanish and African, which would explain why the has such a BIG OL BUTT. That’s big booty times two…LOL!
Oh and p.s. I don’t care if White and Mexican is considered politically incorrect. HISPANIC is a stupid ignorant made up race! We are all very different in culture and ethnic background. All we share is a language. I call all European decent Americans “White”.

All so called races are made up races,

Even though most Caribbean nations might not have much Indigenous people left many still have Taino genes in them.

I noticed that Mexican women that look more Native, have very narrow hips and a small but. Is it weird that I’ve noticed this? And you are right, the ones that look more european are typically the ones with more curves. I think many Americans are getting their curves from hormones and food additives. It’s not all genetic. But as far as Brazilians go. I think for some it is natural, but some of them it is not. I have even heard of some t.v. models, as they’re called, taking anabolic steroids and working the hell out of their legs, to get ginormous thighs. I actually, looked up some of these women on line, and sure enough, before they got into t.v. their chest, legs, and butts were very slim.

I know about the different percentages,I’ve had a debate about this before.However the sites I went to,the 66% was always black.Also there been numerous papers or articles written about how mulattoes in Latin American like upgrade themselves by saying their white(even if they’re not white enough to pass).Census takers down there are also known to use their own judgment about what someone is.I had provided this information before,it’s on the site somewhere

They got that from there African Blood line,and they got there hips from the Spanish one.Vida without a Doubt has African blood,She is just non-black in color.What is with you guys,what do you think,if you admit it your going to wake up with Kinky hair,slapping high fives,wanting watermelon and eating fried chicken,and rapping.I didn’t freak out when I founded out that I was part Latino.I didn’t think I was going to wake up with a sombrero on my head pulling a donkey and saying “Si Señor to everybody.Alright,I do have a sombrero,but that’s another thing.So if you see a Latina with a great butt,she most likely has African heritage,just deal with it and move on

Why does a women have to have African blood to have a large rear? I’ve meet plenty of black women without much rear if not flat rear-ends.
How about large rear non-black girls like Coco, Kim Kardashian, J.LO, Mayra Veronica, Jesikah Maximus, etc, etc.

Your right there are some black women like that.However then you have to look at DNA.I’ve seen straight up black people but when you test their DNA,it turns out the other culture their mixed up with has take over the body,so the booty is a trait they did get.I already shown that earlier.Then there some tribes in Africa that don’t have booties,it is a diverse country
Now it’s obvious there are things you don’t know .First J.lo please she Puerto Rican(blended culture),Mayra is cuba(blend culture), Jesikah is Mexican(blended culture even if they don’t know it),so you just killed yourself with that.Now Coco probably has Black blood a generation or two old,at least 1/3 of the white population here does has black blood,so much for that. Kim Kardashian is Armenian right,well you don’t know to much about what went on in that area,lets just say I’ll use Slavery to prove my point,from the the Ottoman Empire on,I want go back more than that,although I could.Let just say it called assimilation.Most of the black people were assimilated in to the culture,so you might see traits that you think are black.So each one of these people come from a country with a seriously blended past,that no one wants to admit.Also the fact that you guys have such hatred of black people no wonder no one would admit their part black
So no I’m not just being Bias

You are the person who tries to say that everyone has african or should i say Sub-Saharan black ancestry, becuase north Africans arnt all black as I know white north Africans.
Your also like to beleive Salma Hayek was a mulatto just by reading a silly website that was based on absolutly not facts at all…when she is Lebanese and Spanish.
Know your saying that everyone that has this shape must has black african ancestry…well that might be the case but even europeans can have up to 10% Sub-saharan blood but that doenst mean they are black as these color terms were to be used soley based on someones appearence. Ohh and to say that Kim Kardashian must have black ancestry too is false since Armenians mainly originate from migration from the west of Europe……She had her DNA test from the George Lopez show and she was 94% European (altough he read it out wrong, his fault) and 4% Native american.
Just because a culture is blended doenst mean that the people mixed together at all…ofcourse many did but hundreds of thousands of Spanish people immigrated to cuba inthe 20th century and are largely the grandparents of the present Cuban-American community, and until someone here that has been to Cuba, can tell us is if the Census in cuba is right….judging Havana or Santiago (the 2 major cities) in cuba are mainly Afro-cuban in population now…this couldnt be said for the Captital of the USA..washington DC is a Afircan-American city….should we think the whole of the USA is like this?…then why should we think Cuba should be.

Some of the women you mentioned are not natural. JLO definitely is, maybe Mayra & Jesikah. But the others have some ‘splainin to do, cause their bodies shapes are very different in older pictures. I guess they went through puberty at 25. lol! You might develop later, but your general body shape does not change. And I rarely ever see black women with flat behinds. And even the ones with small butts, have a lot more than others.

First of all,I’m not the one saying this,every geneticist on the planet says this.Next that Sub-Saharan B.S is just that,black people never been confined to that area.Now your right North Africans aren’t all black,(Now).Before the famous slave trade of black people over here,there was a slave trade of white to north Africa.Now after that was finish,many of the half bloods who lived in spain came back to Africa.Also over time more whites came,which is why the area is the way it is. Now I didn’t say Salma Hayek was a mulatto,I said Creole,which is more of a mixture,also it was many silly websites that said that.Now do you have any prove that she is not mixed blooded?Because believed it or not,people seem to like to lie about their ethnicity.Now can you tell me where Diana Jiménez Medina was born,because if she was born in the same place her daughter was born,that’s black mexican territory(actually anywhere in the south.Also for the record Creoles(from Louisiana) have communities in mexico,so it’s pretty easily for her mother to be one.Because saying your Spanish,doesn’t really say much,I’m part Spanish but I’m still black.
Now look,for the last time,I’m not saying your (BLACK).I said you have the Heritage of black or African people.I’m part white,but you see me running down the street screaming( no,no,why me).Armenians people have East African blood traits.Now the problem with DNA,that you guys don’t seem to get is that it doesn’t tell you what the person look like that the blood came from.Black people were all over Europe in the pass as well as the present.So saying 94% European doesn’t really say much.I’ve seen people who look just like any African you would see,Has his blood tested,he was Asian by blood,but that didn’t stop him looking like any old black guy.Here’s another example,
James Waston,scot-Irish 100% European at least that’s what he thought.Turns out 17% black,does he look it?

Melungeon people,swear they have no black blood,just did DNA test,now they’re crying.Heck even Hitler whose direct family was tested,who was 100% European turn out to also be African(and not an old bloodline)which might be why he hated black people(my opinion)
Now you do bring up a good point,census taking can be completely off.However the 66% white could be wrong also right?Now as far as the U.S,the census most likely will always be off,because black people who can pass will do so.Now according to some of the people on this site,if you look like a white person,then your not black,so why say you are

I have to ask,what is the real problem?Does she all of a sudden become less sexy if she has that heritage?Because you guy seem to be more than willing to claim any other heritage except the Africa one.Which is strange seeing how African has been there since the beginning.Plus something else you said just caught my eye,about the spaniards.If like you said that they have been coming all through the 20th century,the avg. european african bloodline is 3-8% now,that mean that the spaniards that came before had a much higher level of (recent)African heritage.

Its not about denial….as we know many people can have a small amount of another origin….like the guy you gave an example of…so someones appearence has always been the defying factor as to how someone is perceived. now someone like Salma said shes of certain ancestry so i guess you have to beleive her..based on her parents appearence….and since creole doenst mean mixed as you can get white creoles. doesnt matter where she was born in mexico..same from non-black people living in majority black cities in the USA…who’s knows where she was born.
Armenaisn have east african traits??..what like somalians? or ethiopians?….really?..go to Armenia if you think that. As far as i know Somalians have a more caucsian look because of Arab invasions..and yes your right about white slavery in north africa..but im sure many of the original berbers were white too as many north africans look white but not european..even different compared to their nearest neigbours the spanish..but some do as the romans were there too.
The question is…even though everyone origiates from Africa…do the Africans of today look like the people that were there thousands of years ago before people set off to other parts of the world…..how did chinese people evolve for example…..

It’s funny,you made sure to use the word(small)when saying other heritage.Also I have no problem with the way someone is viewed.I mean this is an ethnic site,and if mention the person has recent black heritage,I’m not trying to turn that person black.I don’t have that power,but all of a sudden,I’m the evil black guy who’s trying to turn everyone else black
Now the creoles I’m talking about were mixed blood from LA.However since neither of us has strong prove,I’ll call it a draw.
Now yes Armens have East African Heritage.Now the about Ethiopians,is there over 80 different ethnicity.Also they didn’t alway look the way they look now(the name alone means land of the burnt face people)Also in past anyone who was not Egyptians was Ethiopian.I seen maps done by greek egyptians,where all the sahara was covered by Ethiopians.Now you say go to Armenia and see if they have the heritage,I might not see it,but not seeing it doesn’t make it untrue.Example Argentina in the 1800′s 1/3 of the population was black.You know what they did,they freed all the slaves,make the black join the army,put them on the frontline to get killed,then they got busy with the women,taking out the color.Now it’s called assimilation.All through the arab slave women were wanted more,all over the middle east,Asia,turkey etc.Now alot of assimilation happen,and the people have selected memories.Also the Ethiopians are the ones who started the arabs.Now pale skin or white is only 6000yrs old(already proven),and they say berbers have been in africa 8000yrs,so I don’t think the orginial ones were white.Plus I also have talked to berbers(all colors).They all said the same thing to me,that yes their ancestors were black(not nubian black,but black)that was their words.
Now as far as Africans go,the Khoisan and the Pygmies(aka the little black people)are the oldest in the world,and then Aboriginals.Now that’s kinda a hard question,becuse even though its been taught,all Africans don’t look alike,and I don’t think they have for a very long time now(I mean different facial features,hair,noses,and color)all having to do with the climate they lived in and food they ate.Now we already know the first Asians were black people.And like any other animal,natural changes happen so you can survive.So the changes called for lighter skin,different from white people skin.Different eyes,shorter height(maybe because of less food).The same thing happens with other animals

I’m sorry but your the one whose incorrect.Slavery was very popular,they took people out and brought people in.Read about slavery in the Ottoman Empire,that’s a prime example.I do study things before I say them,and black people were all over Armenia.However on top of that,people like have it in your head that black people didn’t move around,unless someone came and got them.Africans did leave Africa on their on.Ignorance,that’s a good word for what you wrote

Please get your one drop rule bullshit out of here. Blacks are actually the third most prominent group after Mulatos and Whites, mulatos can range from almost Caucasian looking to almost Sub-Saharan African looking.. they are mixed not Black. Period.
