Shes not 100% African American hell no one is I’m Puerto Rican we are as mixed as can be and proud of our Blend AA are a mixed people to nothing wrong with that no choice really generations of living here. African is not really an ethnicity any way why not just say Black American?

Stop commenting everywhere please! your stupid as….
Someone needs to do some BETTER digging cuz she’s not just African American – WTF does that even mean if you’re going on this site to find out what kind of mix someone is.
youre just saying that cause shes light skin right?
I Thought so at first until i saw her family. But you can compare her with La La Anthony to see the big difference.
Her father though, seems to have a slight tip of Indo-Caribbean heritage.
This is a Ugandan with both spouses being total African.
Take a look at their tones. http://t.b5z.net/i/u/2001091/i/beberescues.jpg
I know right. It’s very obvious she’s mixed. You’d have to be a blind moron to say that she’s not mixed.
correction; her eyes are hazel (light brown) and her hair is virtually black (noirette) I think it should be listed
I dont think you know what you are saying…you are so ignorant its funny…im guessing you are american..you need to grow up in africa as a mixed child and maybe then you will understand what african is…yes you can find light skin blacks,but they dont have white like features…ethiopians have white features but they are mostly dark…anyways you dont understand.
