damn I feel sorry for your darker Uncle.

Hey Angel,I have a story that similar to yours.One of my grandmothers was one of those self-hating black people.She was half creole/half white,and did like dark skin black people.She married my white grandfather,just so to from having black children.Now all of her kids came out (light bright damn near white)especially my daddy.Except one came out black,she cried like a baby;but that baby grew up to look like a twin to his daddy;except black.Now if people had looked at him,they would have just seen a black man,not a mulatto. Got to cut this short the winds blowing so hard,it push a tree onto my house

First A lot of the West African slaves were march to west and shipped out there,they didn’t originate in West African.Also that incorrect about there not any mixed blooded black before slavery started.There were plenty of them who came here already mixed.On top of that,black and white were mixing a least a hundred years before slavery started,so much they had to try and pass laws to stop it;they didn’t like white women with black men.Next no one is putting claim to Chris,he’s doing that himself.Anyone of those celebs that you guys talk about,say their black;no is forcing them to they know how they fell.On top of that it was your kind that started the junk in the first place,you remember this (one drop of black blood,your black).Now let’s get to the percentage This Tom Joyner:

as you can see,clearly lighter than Chris Brown,but only 33% white DNA tested
Now this is Linda Johnson Rice:

33% white DNA tested yet she lighter than LInda
Do you see what I’m saying,you can’t go by outward appearance.Oh one other thing,there are a number of black tribes that have no white DNA,yet have those features you mention the Hutu for example:

Now are they white?
Now you say Chris mother is mixed,yet you call chris Bi-racial.Even thou you have no idea what that family is,or what his father is.Now I’m not saying he’s not mixed,I said he was a MGM,but that doesn’t mean he’s the combo you say he is
BY THE WAY, thanks for mentioning Karim Wade is 50% white 50% black. Chris Brown looks like he is a similar level of admixture such as Karim Wade, both are the same skin tone and have similar mixed features.
There is no doubt Chris Brown is Bi-Racial
His mother is very European*
