SHE IS A FUCKING MULATTA CUBAN what is so hard to understand about that?
She Is Not Mulatta! Show Me A Pic Of Her Father, Then I’ll Believe You!
Are you seriously trying to say she’s fully black? :O :O :O WTF? It’s called MGM btw her parents could very well be both Mulatos she doesn’t have to have a fully white parents, you know the same way she doesn’t have to have a fully black parent..
she is not mulatta both of her parents or afro- cubans. I have a white grandma but Im not mulatta, someone in her family is defintely mixed with something but you dont know who that is? Who isnt mixed? Christina Milian said herself she is black-get over it you racist in denial.

I’ll be hard pressed if I find a video of Christina saying ” I’m black”
because saying that she knows confuses people and they’ll thinks she means african american. Get what I’m saying..?
If she says it in spanish ..” soy nehgra” it’s different because usually in the latin american community that refers as being dark skinned but not “african american”
In the latin/ spanish speaking community , Moreno and Prieto are normally used to refer to a ” african american” . Prieto way more so than Moreno of course.
At the end of the day she’s a sell out for marrying the Dream :)..should of hooked up with a Cuban or some other latin/spanish speaking person.
How Is She A Sell Out! It’s Not Like You Know Her, Or It’s Not Like She Said That She Was Going To Marry A “Latin Speaking Person”!
hooooo wow i think am going to sleep now ”she’s a sell out for marrying the Dream(black man)” i didn’t think people still think this way in 2010 where blacks r marrying asians, indians, whites whoever the hell they love and vice versa. Ignorance at its BEST, this woman is an Afro-cuban bcs there are a lot of cuban with African heritage not matter wat they have in their blood going back generations they’re blacks and they self-identify blacks and very proud of their blackness, if Bob marley can identify as black despite being mixed so can i and whoever feels comfortable with it, am sure beautiful christina wouldn’t mind being called black latina. WHY do people have hard time to accept that is beyond me. peace i love my black people

I’m sorry what’s the different,and don’t say history
How is it Christina a sell out?Just because she fell in love with a non cuban?What about Gina Torres,she did the same thing,did you say that about her?
It’s not hard. She’s Afro-cuban. It is what it is. If someone was to pinpoint her parents RACE, what would that be? She’s mixed, OK. It doesn’t matter how many generations of her family stayed in Cuba, if they they can speak spanish, but never mixed, then they’re still black, but hispanic. She doesn’t look it, but she’s defintely not cubano, cubano.
To David,
So your trying to say it was the American black people,that started all this?I think you have the facts backwards.It was the white people that did that.Also as far as Vin Diesel,why is he so ashamed to say he’s part black?Also why be afraid to be African,that is part of the lineages.All the other these other people scream I’m this and that,yet they probably never even seen the place.Also Christina says shes a black woman,it doesn’t hurt her. Also Queen was right,no matter what they say to your face,let them get mad at you,and watch what they call you.
Well.. Scientists say we all come from Africa, orginally, so it shouldn’t matter what you are. :P
