the only reason why these black people are calling Cassie black is because they want people to think that black people can look like that, and they can’t.
Cassie is 1/4 black. Nobody sees the black in her so don’t even try to say that.
Her hair is straight: Not a black trait. Her skin is light: Not a black trait.
As much as you’d like to think it, black people don’t have straight hair, they don’t come in a gazillion different skin colors, EXCEPT IT!
Cassie is NOT black.
To this dumbass called rgtawrhger
I quote ” her skin is light not a black trait” well have u asshole seen these pure blooded Nigerian and Congolese women? http://seunapara1.wordpress.com/2009/12/

Make sure ur ignorant stanky asses check the links to free urselves with such ignorance. Nobody is claiming her to be black cos in truth she’s only part black, it’s up to her to claim whatever she wants to be. Stop with generalisation u moron, bonda manman-w tchiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!!!

Thank you Kristie
@JamaicanKing I have seen plenty asians with big lips. Also Cassie does not look like a “lite skin black chick”. Keyshia Cole looks like a light skinned black chick. Cassie barely looks black which is not a surprise considering she is only 1/4 black.
