Chris’s statement on his Native American ancestry – http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com
my nephews look like chris and they’re mixed. (fine curly hair light-skinned except they don’t have freckles) he’s definitely mixed and he recently said on his twitter that he found out that he’s from an indian tribe i think brownman may be right :)
We get so defensive about who is mixed, light skin, ect. If your that light skin, and your black american, you have a lot of white ancestors, period! Hes from virginia, their was a lot of mixing their, it was one of the first places, where the natives, africans, and europeans bleneded with each other. I think Chris Brown european admixture is highter than most black people, and just because his father is brown, means nothing, hes probably admixed somewhere with white people. Blacks like to pretend their is no white in them, but are quick to admit native american.
it’s usually one ancestor, not “a lot”…. americans are mixed in general, even the whites.
regarding of the racist history of American I don’t think that white were mixed. or wannabe mixed.
