    His mother looks very “White” is she a Creole Cajun from Lousina? She definitely doesn’t look like the average African American
    I don’t consider Louisiana Creoles to be traditional Africans, they are very mixed and confused (and yet black ok?)
    Chris Brown definitely looks like a black man, his features are black and his skin is caramel. your mother seems very confused and possibly very mixed
