Chris brown is deffiently African american- as his mum is AA and so is his dad! However as everybody should no AA does not nessacaryly mean full black/African! He is probably mixed in some way, however he is still full African American! education people!
Good job, I wonder why people or having such a problem realizing this on Beyonce’s page- African American does not mean full African! However African American means black- so not only is he African American he is black just like beyonce
To Amber
I been saying that since I’ve been on here.
this piece of crap,beat down my ho rihanna
rafael you one funny dude
thanx, however you not quite right about beyonce! her mum is crelole (african,french) and her dad is African american! two diffrent ethniities althought they are closely realted!
African american can mean mixed with anything you can have french ancestry and be african american, Creole it all depends where you come from to determine what you are mixed with. But nowadays it also means African ancestry mixed with a number of different things

ay ya go. now shut up. cos ya not a pink princess. u can’t afford shit.
oooo i see. well i think shes soooooooooo pretty.
Loool, chris brown is smokiinnn hooot. Whats up with this race thing? So what? He’s black end ovv, i’m white btw.
Check out this girl ‘rita ora’ on google. shes a british singer, she’s full white from kosovo but she looks like a mixed race person. And believe me when i say, she is WHITE! Anyone can look like a mixed, white, black even if hey are not that race! get over it ppl!
@ rita
Don’t get me wrong,because she very well could be,but how do you know she’s full white?I mean because her parents are albanian,doesn’t mean her family is not of mixed lineage.It could be 2-3 generations old,black people are in those areas you know,(sorry they might not ID themselves as black people)
I know her thats why. I’m actually related to her believe me or not, and my family is fully white. Where related from mother and father which makes us extra close.
@rita
No offense,but you know how many white people thought they were full white?I’ll give you some examples,Larry David thought he was full out white,but turns out he’s actually 37% native American.The guy who came up with the DNA tests,often insulted black people until he saw his DNA results,and found out he was part black.I can give plenty of example of this,if you want.Traits can be pass down,it might be generations before they pop up again.Now I’m not saying your not white,I’m just people don’t know as much about their heritage as they think.Sometimes families don’t always tell the truth,just saying.
I understand, but just saying that I am most likely not mixed. There may be a very slight chance but i doubt it. Albanians hardly every mix, (not only with other races, but other cultures also) Not trying to come across weird or anything. Also, rita ora that singer i was talking about does look mixed however her sister looks nothing like her…. And finally, there are a lot of people in kosovo who have olive skin tones, curly hair ect, people would think they are mixed in the usa or uk but in kosovo its extremely normal. Its like spanish people think spanish people are not white because they are darker but they are. Its just the fact that spain is extremely close to Africa.
@rita
I also do understand what you’re saying,but even white experts state that so called racial purity is very rare.People like the Great Andamanese people are very rare.Also nations seem to practice leaving things out when it comes to history.That entire area was populated by different groups of people.Although you can’t see visible traits in other people doesn’t mean that just a few generations ago things were different.Now I have to say this,it’s not usual for siblings not to look alike(especially)if the bloodline is mixed.Recessive traits can pop up at anytime,it’s been proven on here before.Also Spaniards and Africans have been mixing for thousands of years,Don’t believe all that nonsense people tell you;look it up for yourself.Europe and Africa are not strangers.You really need to look this stuff up.
I understand.. True Europe and Africa are very close, not that far, spain touches Morocco actually, maybe that is why spanish people are darker then most whites. but anyway, kosovo isn’t that far from Africa actually. I think it is closer to Egypt then the UK. Only thing, you have to cross the ocean! Obviously we might not be pure white, maybe a little of something else but that other race should be only a little…. I really think so, it should be that small that we dont even know about it. Its like christ brown may have a little drop of white or asian ect but identifies himself as pure black considering her probably knows nothing of it and its only a bit. But i guess your right!
To me, that’s a contradiction in terms. What makes an African person uniquely dark is the same thing that makes a Spanish or Italian person dark as well; Geographical location. The only thing separating Southern Italy and the continent of Africa is the Mediterranean. Different people have adopted different traits over time, but the principle is still there. We live where we can thrive. Race is so pointless.
Europeans migrated to Europe through the west and then migrated east. If a spaniard is dark its not because of “climate” and adapting, its because of racial impurity. I find hair to be the easiest racial indicator however. Although race technically doesn’t exist. It’s all a social construction
