I guess some of you have not seen the rest of Kris Humphries relatives. His Uncle Derrick Humphries is black and has a brown complexion. His sister Kaela has an ethnic look. The Humphries and Ligon (relatives of the Humphries) have light complexions and are black. Kris’ cousin Shannon Ligon is a lightskin black lawyer in Tampa, Florida.
Yes, people don’t realize that black people and especially African Americans, can come in all hues and even can have light eye colors. When an individual does not fit a person’s archetype of what they believe they should be or look, they lose their minds. As an African American, I can personally say that we come in all shades. I have a bronze skin color while my mom and my sister are very light skin and resemble what some would consider Hispanic features. To this day people used to think my Grandmother is either Greek or Italian. In short, I don’t understand why people come on here and try to define Kris and his father.They are black men-leave it alone and let it be. If these folks on here don’t believe me go to the Aryan Nation website and ask if they’d be accepted as Aryan brothers…
Kim Kardashian is Caucasian. Armenians are Caucasian. The only not Caucasian about her might be some Native American from her mom’s side, but just because you claim it doesn’t mean it’s true. Skin color is not the basis of race because all race come in different shades. Why is everybody getting all crazy about it because it really doesn’t matter. You don’t have to sleep with either of them or have babies with them. Get a life.
agreed! I was going to say the same thing:)
Is it just me or does it appear that the persons writing the anti-mixed marriage/racist comments are highly uneducated. Grammer people grammer!!! You can’t make statements about a group of people being uneducated when you write like a third grader.
Grammar is spelled with an “a”. You might want to use a spell check, before calling people out on being “uneducated.” You just made an ass of yourself.
lol
LOLLLLLL!!!
not that I’m for ppl insulting other ppls intelligence but I like the way u put that it was somewhat comical and didn’t have to go as low as to use vulgarity to get ur point across. by the way did I spell “vulgarity” correctly? lol
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…Good one babe! Don’t you just love when people try to correct you but only managed to get a GED, if that?
