All dutch are hot… Doutzen kroes, candice swanepoel, taylor lautner, zac efron (look at wikipedia)
That’s right Latino Italiano, tell them about the Moors. I was waiting for someone who was educated to mention them. I even saw a program about Sicily, where the host mentioned all the invaders of her land, she mentioned the Moors, and Arabs as two separate groups. People always try to say oh the Moors were Middle Eastern.
That’s because they were two different groups
On top of that,the Arabs they talk about were not the Arabs of to day.Even though they have lighten up according to my information they are still 40% black.Also just to mention the original homeland the from which todays Arabs came from was EAST AFRICAN,that also proven
I’m sorry she’s a Quarter African descent and she is just passing. I have psychic abilities and my intuition tells me there’s a black grand in her family on her fathers side. people cover up black ancestors all the time, depending on the family. and I’m saying this because of her full lips. lol honestly it’s just a gut feeling.
i dont think she is part African because her dad is white as a ghost! and her mom was also a white french woman. if you go to wargs.com it says her whole ancestry and none of her ancestors came from Africa! it would be cool if she was though.
To LALA
I already shown on here,that you could be white as a ghost a still be part black.I’m not saying that she has recent lineage,but it is very possible.It’s been shown through history that white people will go out their way to hid any sign of black blood.So to say someone is French or German,doesn’t mean you don’t have recent black lineage;it just mean you look white.Also you have to come from Africa,black people have been in Europe for thousands of years.The original Europeans were not white people,and that’s been proven
Isn’t there a website where we can view her family tree?
I don’t remember the site, but they have the same thing for Britney Spears etc. the link has been put on here. I’ve seen it goes very far and from what I have seen she doesn’t have black lineage. Though she might be part native american, but we might never know.
Originally we were all African true. So if you put it like that we are all African. But it isn’t like that anymore. A group of africans migrated to the North and they’ve changed over the thousands of years. Their skin became lighter, due to the lack of sunlight. Their nose narrower and longer, so the cold air could pass longer through it and become warmer. Cheekbones maybe less prominent, due to the different kinds of food they ate compared to what they ate in Africa. Their hair also changed partially due to the weather, the kind of hair africans have is especially so because is protects very well against the weather there.
But these people are now european, white, their own kind. So to go on saying he or she could have black lineage is pure speculation. And it almost seems as if you want everyone to be black. That’s what I get from you. Maybe you’re trying to explain that we were all originally black, because a lot of people are ignorant and do not know this, or choose to not believe this.
Then if this is your reason then continue. I hope you won’t take what I said the wrong way.
BTW I have a link ( which I need to look for) where they are busy with a model of the first Europeans, and yes they were African.
Also Fuzzybear I’ve seen you ask people what is a black person and what does a black person look like, as in what are the features? And they do exist. I mean that’s where the physical anthropology comes in. And no not all blacks have broad and wide noses. There are Africans with more thin noses. And not as coarse hair etc.
I’m later going to post something where you can see the different groups of Caucasians, Asians and Africans. It’s not completely accurate because an artist drew it, but about 70% is accurate.
Also if she has black or native american ancestry it’s probably very minimal, considering having seen her family tree. It’s probably about less than 5% at best, and this also is pure speculation. We can’t say anything until she takes a DNA test.
Also a lot of Southern Europeans do have distant african blood in them due to the Moors etc. But like in Portugal, which is the European country with most black ancestry, the people who have african ancestry there have about 5% or less african blood. Though this isn’t a uniform affect, it differs per city in Portugal with some having about none. But still they are European, they are predominantly European and that is how they will be seen as. Just as an African American with 5% European blood will also just be seen as African.
Genes works in mysterious ways and you might have 5% african ancestry, but it will not show at all in your phenotype. Also depending on the genes you’ve inherited etc. But regardless of all of this we are all originally African, and we are all human.
As simple as that.
Sorry (or less) 5-10%(or a little more)
I saw a recent blood work on Sicilians,that said they had as high as 25%.Unfortunately I can’t show it to you,because my hard drive wiped out my stuff
To Adriana
What’s up my 1% Nubian sista?Well lets see the question you got for me.Ok your going by her family tree,were there pictures?However saying that wouldn’t help,because pictures don’t really tell you what a person is,the guess my ethnicity site part of this site proves that;and you can’t go by names.Now when I was speaking about her,I meant possible recent lineage on her mother side,being that she is supposed to be french Canadian;since black people have been up there for a while.
Now that is a misunderstanding,I don’t want everyone to be black.It would work anyhow,because history has proven that we would find something that we dislike about each other.Now what I said about her was speculation,I was just showing the possibility
Now if we went by stereotypes of what a black person looks like ,I would have to X out myself and most of my family.For years people thought my mother was a black Asian. They thought my father was a white man,that I was a Samoan,brother was a Mexican.The police came to my house one time(we call them)for anyone whose reading this.They took one look at my sister and had the nerve to ask my mother who is a solid brown,they words(is this your daughter,yes she is.No I meant is this your biological daughter ).Because my sister is so high tone,they assumed they weren’t mother and daughter,you get what I’m saying?Oh I’ve all the different groups,and I know all white people don’t look alike,from their noses to the eye sockets.
P.S
Relax you didn’t offend me,I know my 1% nubian sista wouldn’t do that
First of all HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. I don’t know if you’re trying to offend me or if you are actually being genuine, if that’s the case very funny! xD.
My 1% Nubian sister Lol!!
Was it really 25% that’s very high! I haven’t read anything like that yet. I have read that Spaniards, due to the Moors etc. Have about 2% or less African blood, and that that is also a lot. But never heard of 25% are you sure?
I’m really into this just like you are. I’m going to continue reading on the subject.
And I wouldn’t consider your family black. Because I live in the Caribbean ( I think) I can tell when someone is part black and when they’re predominant black. Usually I can and I would probably consider your family, mixed with black, but not fully black.
Thing is we need new terms for these “new” races! Like eurasians.
And yes you are right about the names, but then again we could never know unless she takes a DNA test. And it is possible, though it’s probably minimal, she is clearly predominantly euripoid. Though she would still be considered white even if she has black lineage.
Fuzzybear continue telling all these ignorant people how it is! And yes historically we are all black. About 40 thousand years ago or so :-p.
We should discuss on this more, I like it (don’t know about you).
To Adriana
You know I’m not trying to offend you.I was just kidding around with someone I think of as a friend.I remember you mention that you were banned from a site because you said you had a little black blood;so again what’s up my 1% Nubian Sista?
Now about that 25%,that what I read.I can’t show it to you,because I don’t remember where I got it from.I’m also sure not everyone is like that.Black people are forever in those countries,so maybe those people that were tested were recent.But the avg. for most of Europe is about 3-10%,which lets you know it wasn’t that long ago,maybe within the last 100yrs.Now Spaniards have being trying to get rid of there black blood for generations,so it would surprised me if it was only 2%.But it wasn’t just the Moors,even where they kick the moors out alot of the bi-racial children converted,and were allowed to stay.Also they brought black people back into Spain during slavery time,and you know they got their freak on.There to many half black Spaniards there now to say other wise
I didn’t know you were in the Caribbean,I thought you were in the states.So you really don’t consider my family black huh.I meant I look around and were just like any other black family around here.I keep telling people I didn’t grow up in a area with just one color of black people.That’s why I have a hard time understanding why these other people keep having all these problems,that’s why I always ask where do they live.Now your right,were not fully black,my grandmother on my father side married a white man on purpose(she was a self-hating)black person;she wanted no black babies.It did backfire on her,she got one.I met him only a few times.He looked just like his father,except he had black skin.
Oh they are coming up with new names,you didn’t hear how black people who don’t fit the stereotype are call the Capoid race,or some other new name.I’m sure AA will be out of date in about another ten years
Now about Angelina,I see her as a white woman,I was just showing how it was possible that she could have the lineage.However you have to be careful about the DNA results also.I say this because I showed Total23 these famous Brazilians who DNA were majority European,but they were black people.I also showed the people of Asia who are black yet their DNA is strictly Asian.So even if Angelina DNA says she was french,we can’t assume that relative was white,just because she appears white;you get what I saying?
One other thing,new evidence say it was only 6000yrs ago after the last ice age that pale skin came(Asians have their own pale skin gene).Also they say that the land bridges in the Mediterranean Sea ,that are now under water are some of the way that Africans cross over into Europe.I sure your might be saying please stop writing,so I’m out
A hot discussion going on here.
Freaky. your psychic.
@shadow wolf
Her father is half Slovak, half German…
p.s im not sure, but i think she’s say on interview Inside the Actors Studio, what her mother is part Iroquois.
@ Kira, I wonder where he buys his crystal balls… I’ve been looking for a cheap one, recently. |:
yup. and when i get my DNA test those who i told about my spiritual experiences, are going to pass out. two sets of ancestors contact me all the time. so it’ll be cool to see the so called proof on paper hehe. also i used to read people and have gotten some very defensive responses or people get scared of me so i only do it on the net like here really. funny enough though i get really strong impressions when someones hiding something.
It is nice to see just how many nations have mixed with North, Central and south American Indian people.
