    That’s too bad. Still don’t understand why people just can’t keep with their own race.

      What race,Human?Also for the record,people have always mixed with others.It wasn’t until certain people started thinking they were better,that problems started;usually had to do with women being with the other males

      • ethnic says:

        I agree. all this talk of “they are stealing our men” or “they are pimping our women” is ridiculous.

          Man,you know that’s one of the reason the racism in the states got started.They couldn’t stand the fact that their women were choosing black men to marry or be with

          • Bombpants says:

            it really shows how insecure some men are.

          • fuzzybear says:

            To Bombpants

            So true

          • total23 says:

            Lol, If The Man Is Feeling Insecure Because The Women Are Not Marrying Their Own “Race” Then I Guess They Should Be Better Looking…Lol

            Anyways If You Continue To Marry Within Your Own “Race”, Eventually Your Whole “Race” Will Be Related Which Is Another Reason Why We Should All Be Diverse.

            WE DON’T WANT TO PRODUCE NO INBREEDS! …LOL

            Their Is Only One Race, Which Is The Human Race. I Guess If Your Black This And White That And Indian This, Then It Is Called Ethnicity.

            Am I Right Fuzzybear?

          • fuzzybear says:

            Once again,so true

    • s says:

      why do you care, we are all people…

      • Anonymous says:

        actually it was black women n white men getting together back in the day…

        • Fuzzybear says:

          well yes that true,however the phrase(getting together)makes it sound like the black woman was always cool with the idea,which from my understanding they weren’t

          • Anonymous says:

            well you know wat i mean…biracial kids in america back in the day was predominently from white men and black women…whether it was forcefully or willingly…i am sure there are some white men who secretly (or openly) loved black women and vice versa…

          • Fuzzybear says:

            Well what your saying is true,however before slavery actually started here,because it didn’t really happen for a hundred years.Workers were actually release from their contract and give land,they were always married to white women.I gotta go sister fighting with boyfriend again

          • fuzzybear says:

            Sorry for the interruption,although I can see someone didn’t like what I was saying.Well anyhow,I sure plenty of those (get togethers) were base on love,my father and both of my grandmothers are proof of that

    • Me myself and I says:

      yeah because one of those 3 races (White/European, Black/African, and Yellow/Asian/Native American) will die out through mixing..! but I’m not racist at all that are just skin colours.. and indigenous to those continent.. and yeah there is only one race.. Human..! so what’s your problem?

      • fuzzybear says:

        To ME

        I don’t think so,see it’s been 6000yrs since white showed up,and all the different colors are still here.Plus now you have a whole bunch of new ones.Plus now white has open up the door to include anyone with a caucasian phenotype

    Sorry about that,forgot to put my name;now you know who to yell at

  3. ABC says:

    omg he is half white. I AM FUCKING TIRED OF PEOPLE PUTTING MULATTOS AND BLACKS IN THE SAME CATEGORY

    • total23 says:

      Why Does It Matter Mulatto Is 1/2 Black 1/2 White.

      The Only Way A Person Should Be Called Mulatto Is If Their Ancestors Were Half White Half Black From The Early 1800 Or More Other Than That You Are Just Half Black Half White Because Of Your Parents, Grandparents, Or Great Grandparents!

    • drexxx says:

      loool black ppl and mulattoes are definetely not in the same category !
      For the record, a mulatto is a mix between a horse and a donkey, so a mulatto is an animal, not a person !!!
      i’m so fed up with ppl who are using this term to define ppl like hank baskett who are simply half black and half white !!!!
      I think it’s insulting !!!

            no lol i’m not going to yell at you, but i think i recognized you in your anonymous post ! looool
            I’ve not been in this site because of my exams, and i have one more week of exams, i’m pissed off, and fed up with working !! loool

          • ethnic says:

            good luck with your exams drexxx.

          • fuzzybear says:

            Well,you not going to yell at me,and your not going to dress as wonder woman and tickle me,some friend LOL
            Well my poor Babygirl,keep your head up,you’ll make it

      • ethnic says:

        Drexxx is back up in here!

      • total23 says:

        Lol, I Totally Agree With You!

        If Your 50% Black Than You Can Be Put In The “Black Category”. If Your 50% White, Then You Can Be Put In The “White Category” etc.

        50% White And 50% Black Should Not Make Up Their Own Race, Especially If Their First Second Third And Fourth Generation Half White Half Black Person.

        If Each And Every One Of Your Ascendants Were All 50% Black And 50% White Then You May Call This “Mulatto”.

        I’m Not Tryna Offend Anyone. But Then Again A question Just Popped In My Head, Why Are Mestizos Their Own Race, Shouldnt They Just Be Called Part European (White), Part African(Black), And Part Indigenous American!

        • total23 says:

          Sorry I Meant To Say:

          If Each And Every One Of Your Ascendants (Ancestors) Were All 50% Black And 50% White To The 16th Or More Generation, Then You May Call This “Mulatto”.

          • drexxx says:

            yeah but this term is very very annoying to me, if all your ascendants were 50% black 50% white, you ARE 50% black 50% white, nothing more. this ppl (bi-racial ppl) can’t pretend to be an ethnic group, it’s ridiculous !!!

    Hank is actually half white and half black (African American). His mother is most definitely white
