    Never mind. Let him be just black. He’s a abusive, violent woman beater.

  2. abbracci says:

    He doesn’t look Black American. He looks like he could be a Dominican or a Puerto Rican.

      These two groups can look like anybody. David Ortiz is Dominican ,he looks black to me

    I swear the people on this website are so dumb. How are you going to try to come on a informational website and then correct the people who have done their research? He’s black like it says.

    • abbracci says:

      Whatever. Who cares if he’s just Black? You sound Afrocentric. Most people are mixed according to DNA test. He looks he has some European or Native American in him. Doesn’t look like most black men I see. He looks Dominican.

  4. abbracci says:

    His mother doesn’t even look African American/Black. Chris Brown obviously has Native American in him. I’m Mexican. I know what Natives look like. He has deep set eyes and copper skin like a Native American.

  5. Kerrywhite says:

    His mother has natural brown hair and non-brown eyes. It’s obvious he has European Ancestry. He needs to get a DNA Test. It’s so ignorant saying he’s just African-American. He’s mixed-race. His curly hair and freckles speaks for itself.

    • Zatm81 says:

      Mixed race is one parent one race and the other parent the other. He ain’t mixed just got admixture, like every other Black American.

      • Kerrywhite says:

        It’s more than admixture. The average African-American doesn’t even have Chris’s background(Black, Native American, and White), nor look like him. His hair is curly and he has freckles. The average African-American looks typically Black, but with a lighter shade of dark brown than stereotypically in Africa. I consider Chris to be mixed.

        • Andrea says:

          Um he’s black. Just bc his skin isn’t pitch black or his hair isn’t kinky doesn’t he’s not. Black people come in a range of colors and have different hair types too. You can consider him whatever you like but if he was unknown and on the news they’d describe him as an African American male.
