    Lol. These comments are too funny. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Those of you that are leaving ignorant or racist comments, STOP. Your just making yourself look stupid. But those of you who are just stating what you think and how you feel, speak your mind.(: I thought and still do think that Chris Brown is mixed, Black and White. Whether it was b|c of his mom, grandma, grandpa, that doesn’t matter, it’s still in his blood one way or another. And I’m not Black nor White. It’s just my opinion. Deal w| it. ;D

    I just wanted to say that just because they said all races MAY have come from Africa, They never said Black people came first…Not being mean or racist but that was a genetic adaptation that occurred because Black people stayed in Africa. Their have been a number of theories opposing that generalization because Ancient Egyptians, one of the earliest civilized peoples were not Black….Although I will say this, as much as white people, generally, think they are the greatest race and black people are the dirtiest, white people are the closest direct descendants of peoples from Africa (Closer than Asians even)

    I actually read an interview online and Chris Brown himself said that his Dad is black and his grandfather on his Mom’s side was Native American.He didn’t mention any white at all like everybody assumes when someone is light skinned.

    Yeah, I think his mom is mixed with white and black. Chris is very light skin, but his mom is VERY high yellow.
