Maybe he is a Fijian or Solomon Islander.

(Maybe he is a Fijian or Solomon Islander.)
Now what made you pick those?
she is an average AA with “some” Euro blood
@ rased oren
*he, excuse me
Thought he was a Vin Diesel type; half European/Italian.
If he’s full African then he’s gotta be Eritrean or Ethiopian – who are lighter skinned.
No African-American of slave/colonial descent is “full African”. All African-Americans of such ancestry are mixed to varying degrees.
@theropod
You don’t have to look all the way over to east Africa,to find lighter skin Africans.Their in West Africa to,for different reasons.You have Igbos who are known to have very light members.You have to know their tribal names to find them,because when you google west Africa,they’re just going to show you the dark ones.
oh Cris 258 comments and rising
ummm everyone has black and white in them, thats a fact but what does he look like the most? he considers himself to be black bc thats what most of the family and him is, is black. if you know where you come from and know what you are now doesn’t mean hes ignorant to his heritage. so he got a little white in him but majority of the family and him are black people so he’s a black person. stop going crazy over this, he knows what he is and isn’t ignorant to his ethnicity.
he has naturally curly hair see —–> http://www.zimbio.com/Chris+Brown/articles/upQhZt78OSw/Chris+Brown+attends+Takers+premiere
