I once heard that the Kardashian mom may be mixed with black in the past. Plus thier stepdad Bruce Jenner was in love with a black woamn in college who broke his heart. He was supposed to marry her.
Actually his dad is half white and black his mother is white.

It is obvious that Kris Humphries has a mixed background. He has an olive complexion and look at his hair.
Did you really expect her to marry a White Guy??? The only color the Kardashians know is Black and Green if ou get my drift.
HAHAHAHAHAHA best comment ive read so far!
thats hitting the nail on the head, mom must be so proud……..
…Well, if I’m not mistaken, Kourtney is with Scott and he looks like a white boy to me! lol :) …And as for Kris, if you’re going to call him black, you better include white in there, cause that’s what he is also–he’s just as much white as he is black….This is aggravating that in 2011, you still have to educate people on mixed race folks…Remember, we’re not living in the 1960s or earlier…Get with the program people! Stop calling all mixed people with African ancestry ‘just black’….they’re not and you are the one looking like an ignorant fool when you spew such nonsense!
Kris Humphries’ uncle Derrick Humphries is a well-known african-american attorney in Washington, DC.
Jasmine.. white black and other is a RACE not a ethnicity.. SMH
A fair skin mexican is latino but his race is white
A dark skinned mexican is latino but his race is black.
Educate yourself before you start fights with people, you sound stupid.
your an idiot, so what happens when a brother and sister are latino but one is white and the other is dark skinned? some mexicans are european and indian, some are just european and some are just indian. if you see black in them ,then their mixed with black.real mexicans have no black in them. just like real puerto ricans have no black in them.
This is silly… you do realize that there were slaves in Mexico and that there are black Mexicans living in Mexico who have been there for hundreds of years? The original REAL Mexicans were Aztecs and Maya peoples as well as Olmec, Toltec and Zapotec . Current REAL Mexicans are all races because Mexican is their nationality, NOT their race. Just like REAL Americans are Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American (the REAL Americans). Please learn history before posting silly comments.
@steve
This is why stuff gets repeated on here,you guys don’t know anything.Many light skin Mexicans have black blood in them.Look things up before you comment on them.
@wow or fuzzy who ever you are
Things get repeated ’cause you’re a retard. Yes, most NOT ALL Mestizo Mexicans have Black but is very little about 1%. Stop trying to make it seem like Mexicans are black cause we are not. Stop trying to push your bullshit agenda.
Mexicans are mostly European/Native deal with it already MORON!
Real puerto ricans, cubans, and dominicans, although a lot of dominicans can be dark as hell and will not admit it, although they may be mixed, just as well as the blacks, white, and indians in america, most of them are part of the african diaspora. All the music instruments and every beat you hear in them is africa. Not to mention santeria. My grand father is puerto rican and my family has many different complexions because i am mixed. If you looked at most africa americans and even their families, there are sooooo many different colors and all of them are related. Its the same as in Brazil, which i forgot to mention that is a part of the same diaspora. Have you ever seen the Puerto Rican Day parade live on 5th ave in NY, because its a sea full of browns, blacks tans and light skinned Puerto Ricans that are there to share that same history with food, music and dance. And most of my “white” puerto rican friends and some family members acknowledge this also. And in a lot of instances, just because that person may look white by complexion you can see other ethnic features in their face, hair and or body structure. Just as well as a person can be black but their other ethnicities may show the same way. Its European colonialism that has established the “divide and conquer” rule and its dummies that keep enforcing it. Everybody knows everything when nobody knows, shit! Spain raped and killed the Taino Indians and Africans, that is why wherever they went to rule that was the end result. Not to mention, they robbed the native people of these lands and many other lands of their natural resources, religion, names and language. And this how the european mixture in these lands came about. I love all people so don’t get it twisted, but lets do more research, grab facts and get it together papa!!!!
Real Mexicans don’t have black in them and real Puerto Ricans don’t have black in them. Really?. Such an ignorant statement. Mexican is a nationality and also most Mexicans and Puerto ricans have some black ancestry. Do you research first.
scott,apparently you need to take your own advice,what research tells you most mexicans and puerto ricans have black ancestry?now if you were to say italian,i bet we could find info that shows most italians have black ancestry
Yeah, Southern Italians are mostly Arab and African. Northern Italians however are mostly white/european.
There are no “REAL” Puerto Ricans left. In the 1800’s there were hardly any Taino indians left. When the Spanish conquest started, the largest group of Tainos only numbered 3000. Just like in america there are no 100% anything in a Native American tribe. All that 100% stuff is bull. We have native American blood on both sides of the family but our tribal rights are through my maternal grandfather and he was half Irish and in truth, he was probably less than that. Native Americans were very dark and now they look near white because they mixed with settlers. Genecide almost whiped them out here and in Puerto Rico and many other places. The little that were left, mixed. Mexico is full of black Mexicans The Dos Santos brothers are not the only 2. Ever been to Vera Cruz. They just look Black not mixed or mulato etc. Google Giovani dos Santos when he was a kid and didn’t have that texturizer. Wow that’s truth. Black people are all over the world and that is nothing new. It’s what makes us beautiful and exotic. You think the “boot” of Italy is so close to Africa and it never occurred to anyone to sail across? However they’d rather give credit to some olives. Some people are so funny.
My husband is Mexican white and he doesn’t consider himself to be Latino. Of all the hispanic nations, Mexico has less in common whith hispanic culture than any of them. If it wasn’t for Cortez, Mexicans wouldn’t speak spanish and many still don’t although he tried to irradicate the native languages. For the Census, they will mark hispanic (whether white or Black) but in reality, I don’t know any Mexicans who call themselves “Latino”.
