He looks brazilian
My other comment is awaiting moderation. Yes I have heard of Sandra Laing. That is a baffling case. I wonder if there are more cases of white people having a black child? Even if the parents had black ancestry I don’t know how Sandra could look like she did? The parents would show more African traits than they did. I would need a dna test to confirm that her parents are actually hers? I know the father had a blood test but there was no dna tests at the time he took the test. The test only confirmed that with his type blood he could be the father of Sandra but that’s not really conclusive to me. There are more likely scenarios for someone like Sandra than something like a throwback gene. Why doesn’t this sort of thing happen more often? Things that make you go hmmm.
Above comment was in answer to fuzzybear44.
To Alice
LOL,I know you were talking to me.Now going by the story,the third child also came out blackish looking.Now at that time,it was said he watch wife like hawk.So he was sure his wife wasn’t cheating on him.Now I don’t know how it happen,all I can say is the human body has it’s own playbook,that we still don’t understand.Now I have seen other cases on net,but I haven’t spent much time on them,to busy.However,I only mention her,to see if you guys ever heard of her.
It is a very interesting case. Because they were in South Africa the two parents probably have some African ancestry. It is just amazing that Sandra came out looking as she did when her parents looked white. I really would like a paternal dna test done in these cases. In Sandra case they could do tests on her brothers and compare the dna to her. Then we would know for sure.
To Alice
That’s true,but neither brother would even talk to her
he is portuguese..stupid claiming by cape verdean media
No I can’t agree with you because it isn’t true. How can 8 to 12 percent African amount to anything? It can’t. He doesn’t look mulatto or quadroon or octoroon he looks like a standard Portuguese man. Because he is. He even said he wasn’t black.
To Pierre
(He doesn’t look mulatto or quadroon or octoroon )
All these you mention,can look completely white,and you wouldn’t know they were 50% or lower.It seems to me,your looking for stereotypical traits.Now as I’ve told many other s on here,black people are not just Negroid(they do come in Caucasian).We have no idea what that black ancestor looked like(especially if he was mixedblood).So the traits you’re looking for,might not exist.There’s a family of black people with red hair around the corner from me.From the Grandmother,her daughter and sons,to the grand kids(all have red hair). Now going by the grandmother,her husband was black.So that means the red hair predates grandma,that would put it 12% and lower in the grandkids,yet that red hair gene is still in affect.Just because you don’t see a traits you can recognize,doesn’t mean the 12% didn’t do anything.Maybe it gave him his height,or maybe it was recessive in him.Like I said,the human body has it’s own rules. Then what about all the half bloods that look completely white(does their 40-50% black blood not count)?. This is why I was wondering,were you fgm(first generation).Because,I’m getting the impression,that you haven’t been around many mixed bloods.I’m from a creole background,and pretty much my entire family are mixed bloods. I’ve seen probably all the combos and traits black and white, Asian,Latino can make.I go to a family reunion,and it’s like a crayon box exploded. I looking at picture of my cousin whose is(AA/Creole).She’s married to a white man,and they have two daughters.The oldest girl looks exactly like her.Now because his mother was always Whispering in his,he had a DNA test done,and she is his daughter.Now the youngest daughter is white,has taken all of the daddy side.You would never think those two were sisters,or that my cousin was her mother.So as you can see,even 50% can do different things.I mean look at people,99.9% the same.Yet look at what that .1% does.
Also the fact that he doesn’t recognize his black heritage is no big deal,you have people who are predominantly black,that don’t recognize it in themselves.However at no time in my comment,did I ever say he was a black man,nor that he was not Portuguese .I see him as a white man,who has recent black heritage,that all.
You have a very interesting background fuzzybear. The people you are talking about are multi-generational mixed populations (as far as my understanding is). If you get a fully black person and a fully white person and they have a child the child will look mixed like Obama not white. For multi-generational mixed people you can get a child looking white and a child looking black in the same family.
To Alice
Your right,MGM is the name for it.Now I had no idea how serious my family members took it.I called my Aunt African American,and she went ballistic(WE are Creole).Now the differnt color thing in the same family,is how me and my siblings are.My father was pretty much white,and mother looks like a Blaians woman.So none of us are the same color.
Now to the other part. That’s just it,whose fully white,and whose fully black

After all that writing,I’m not really in the mood for a long debate.So since I can’t convince you,and you can’t convince me,I’ll end it.No hard feelings man.
no he said it himself that hes part black
cape verdean
go ask him
one great grandparent who is black would only equal about 8 to 12% black, virtually nothing. my great grand dad is seminole native american but i dont see myself as native american. Same with him. He is Portuguese. and a great foot ball player.
Virtually nothing?I’m surprised you wrote something like this(given your mixed heritage).Doesn’t that 12% of nothing,help make him the man he is?How much of a percentage do you have to have(to matter)?Without that ancestor,he would be here.So although the percentage isn’t high enough for you,it’s alot to the human body.
if he was around 25% then i guess you could count it. But physically you will lean more towards what you mostly are. Im 1/2 white 1/4 black 1/8 seminole. People think im from somewhere in south europe because of my Caucasian features yet tanish light olive toned skin. You really think that little 12 to 8 percent native will leave a mark? it wont. just like his little bit of black blood wont leave anything. And no that little bit of blood does not make him who he is. You can be whoever you want and he grew up in Portugal and considers himself Portuguese. Not cape verde.
Your telling me,that a person would have to be 25%,before you would even consider it(boy you are tough).
(physically you will lean more towards what you mostly are)
Well maybe,however genetics are very funny. Take Neguinho here:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Neguinho_da_Beija-flor.jpg
he’s 67.1% European,yet you see what he took after,and he’s not the only one.There was a documentary on Brazilians,who were DNA tested,to be more European than African,yet the majority looked like Neguinho(the rest were what you expect).Now I know your background,that’s why I said I was surprised by your comment.Now you say 12% wouldn’t make a mark.The human body doesn’t work the way we are taught math,it has its own rules.I mean you have to remember that just 2% separates man from ape(I think you can see the difference).So I think 12% could do alot.Like the difference between you being 6ft 1″,and 5ft nothing.Or you burning in the sun(turning red),instead of tanning.Now I think you misunderstood something,I never said the man wasn’t Portuguese or wasn’t a white man. Also I think I said (helps ) to make him who he is.Because without that ancestor,he might not even be here.
I forgot to asks,you’re a fgm right?
i dont believe in those sham tests. How can he be 67% white and look straight up black? same with Paulo zulu who got 99% african. when only one of his great grandparents was african. That makes no sense. Those test are bs.
I agree with GeorgeJeanPierre. Some of these tests are not accurate. Look how Larry David came out 37% NA in a test.

Some of the latest tests are a lot more accurate though than the ones given to some of these celebrities.
To Pierre and Alice
Ok Neguinho and DNA test aside.Since both of you are focusing on that part,can it be concluded that you thought ,the rest of my statement was Logical ?
P.S: just wondering,have you ever heard of Sandra Laing?
Cristiano is Portuguese. He has a black Great Grandfather. It would be part of his ancestry but I think that is too far back to have much influence on him. Sure it is part of his genetics. It is just like if his Great Grandfather was Scottish it wouldn’t make him feel much connection. He would look at himself as Portuguese. He looks Portuguese. All your ancestry is important and makes you what you are but he is largely European.
In my comment I should have said Great Grandmother not Great Grandfather. The Great Grandmother was from Cape Verde so I don’t know if she was black. I was just assuming based on the comment of GeorgeJeanPierre and the following discussion with fuzzybear.
