First of all, i’m not american, i’m cameroonian so your microcosm of the african american is going to trash. if i took my nephew’s example, it’s simply for showing that you can’t tell a person’s ethnicity just by looking that’s all.
I’m not the kind of person who thinks that only fair skinned persons are mixed, because it’s not true. I’m not fair skinned, i’m not dark skinned either, (you can look at me just clicking on my name), but i look black. A

It very apparent that Chris Brown’s mother is over half white. My guess is 67%-75% white
Funny thing is that if it were the OTHER WAY AROUND and someone happens to be dark skinned, they say “No, he is very black, he can’t be part white” among other bullshit.
Some African Americans try to recruit as many people within their ethnicity as possible. Its rather sad actually. African Americans get angered when a supposed black person mentions they are some other ethnicity. Look a Ne-Yo who claims he is part Chinese, I saw that some blacks on these forums were throwing a fit because he isn’t claiming full black, so fucking what? It is his right to claim whatever lineage is has. People don’t have to be “just” black. Leave the Afro-centric, double-standards at home.
Anyone they point out to them will be black to them.
Its sooooooo obvious that Chris Brown is bi-racial, I don’t know who these people are trying to fool.

You need to give your “6% white” Nephew who is “white as snow with red hair” a DNA test. You will be surprised to find out that he is much more white than you think.
You have double standards because if you alleged nephew would have been dark as coal you would say he is full black, but have him be fair skinned and you say only 6% white and still black.
You are a microcosm of African American mentality. If someone is half black half white they are black to you. If they are 1/4, black they are black to you, but someone like Don Cheadle (very dark skinned) who is 17% white (African American Lives) then no, he is a pure black person.
HYPOCRISY. Most African Americans are mixed and most of you know it. It is like that thing that is swept under the rug.
meant to say what a black person is not

Until my posts comes through,I will asks you the same question.Since your an expert on what a black is not,then tell me who is a black person.Feel free to use pictures.Because according to you,2/3 of the black population just got X’s out the group.
