i love your grandma’s story and the voodoo thing lool
Voodoo is not dangerous when you practise it a little sometimes. In Benin (tha’ts where the original voodoo comes from), voodoo is very dangerous, because trust me or not, it actually works !!!!
And she like dark skinned blacks, i like them too !!!! so funny !!
but actually in france a lot of dark skinned blacks have self hating issues, and a lot of them don’t want to date dark skinned women. Only the light skinned ones, or mixed, or arabic, or white !!!
Barack Obama to me would just be Bi-Racial. And so would anyone who is mixed to his level.
I would call you “drexxx” black since you are only 6.25% French according to you, BUT if you were only 6.25% black and the rest would have been French, conversely, I would call you white.
I don’t disagree that, “mark L” !
i don’t need you to call myself black loool, and if it was in reverse, yeah i would call myself white.
i love your “acording to you”, do you think i’m lying ??? looool whatever
to me, barack obama is BLACK AND WHITE(and so anyone who as mixed as him like you said). He’s not no black, no white, but both of them. It’s so annoying to hear ppl saying barack obama is not black,or not white, it’s not true !!!!
he is black, and white, or white, and black if you want.
to Mark L: Honestly i don’t know where is your point with all your comments. I don’t have any problems about my ethnicity, i consider myself black, because i’m far more black than white, and i was raised in a black culture (even if i’m born and raised in france lol) by black parents. And how could you quickly decide that i have french blood ??? i didn’t tell that !! lol i’m 6,25% german, not french. (i’m french by nationality only, not by blood:so i live in france, i speak french, but in terms of ethnicity i’m not french)
I know very well that only skin color can’t count to tell someones’s ethnicity. there also are type of hair, type of features etcc, but your arguments about chris brown’s mother are just about her phenotype and, to me, are also going to trash with you double standards;(nose, hair etcc: if your argument were the good one, angelina jolie would be black because of her nose and her mouth), and phenotye does not (always) indicate your genotype. I you take her a DNA test, she could be 75% white, 50%, 40%, or only 25%, who knows ???
For my nephew’s case, his father told me that he comes from a tribe called Bana (a brunch of bamiléké tribe), where everybody has kinky red hair, light skin and light eyes sometimes, without mixing.and the ppl of this tribe are generally marrying to each other only, but he could marry my sister because she’s 1/4 bamiléké (like myself).
When you say there are also whites in cameroon, you’re right, but black and whites don’t mix so much, and the difference between cameroonian ppl and american (black) is in the fact that cameroonian ppl don’t need to pass a DNA test to know their ethnicity. the german thing, this is ma father who told me that, he knew it by his uncle who knew it by his father, who was bi-racial. In all cameroonian families, the history is transmitted like this, it’s different, but it works.
For the case of Karim wade, if he has similar features as chris brown, then so has abdoulaye wade !!!! because karim wade=abdoulaye wade in lighter version, in france we say “ils se ressemblent comme deux gouttes d’eau” (they look alike just like two water drops)
Actually i gave him in example to answer to ha, who said this:
“You can NEVER have a full blooded dark black West African mix with a white European and have them be close to white in skin tone.”
actually you can, look at karim wade: black west african (abdoulaye wade), white european mother (viviane wade)
and she said that too:
“I, by the way, know two individuals who are exactly 75% white 25% black (3 European Grandparents and 1 Sub-Saharan African parent (not African American) and they have similar phenotypical facial features to that of Chris Brown’s mother.”
Then again, look at karim wade: he’s as light as chris brown’s mother, and he is 50% white, not 75%. My father has the same skin tone as karim wade, and he’s only 12,5% german. My grandma, (my father’s mother) was white as snow (lool when i was 4-year-old i thought my grandma was fully white because of her skin color ), just like my nephew: she was 25% white, and her brother was dark as ebony (also 25% white)
When you’re studying genetics, you know that to know the true ethnic background of a person, you have to make resarches about the person’s family, or take a dna test (much faster, but much more expensive), and certainly not by looking.

OH thank for getting my post through,good looking out
To ethnic
He was fine.As much as she cried when he was born,and as self-hating as she was;she loved him,and treated him no different than the other;a least that’s what my pops said.My (big momma)nickname for her, was a trip.My mother is solid brown in color,same as the girl in the ad above.Now my mother was telling me the other day ,that when she first met my (big momma),she overheard her yelling at my father saying(I can’t believe you married that black creole),yet she grew to love my mother more than any of her daughter in-laws.I do have examples of what I’m talking about,but I want share them.Lets just say my (big momma), was a very complex woman;she also practice Voodoo
