Nicole has said:
I’m just light-skinned and from Baltimore… My mother’s from North Carolina and she has green eyes and freckles. So, I’m sure there’s a whole lot of white and Native-American mixed-in there. But I’m only claiming African-American, because that’s really what I know.

This site is so stupid. She is obviously mix. Who is this site trying to fool by saying she’s just African American.
I completely agree with you. She looks more white than black.
VERY WELL PUT! THE SMARTEST AND THE MOST WELL THOUGHT OUT RESPONSE IN A LONG TIME!! BRAVO! I AM A PROUD BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVOURED, (loving self), AFRICAN AMERICAN/CHEROKEE, BORN IN THE USA, WOMAN!!!
beautiful black woman,i like her
She’s not a black woman. A black woman is Regina King, Angela Bassett, Mary J Blige, etc…
Nicole hardly looks black.
She is black because she has 2 biological black parents so that makes her black, my best friend is lighter than her and guess what she has 2 black parents also while her twin brother is a darker brown skin go figure…… Unlike white people because of slavery black people have DNA that is coded with white features and you never know when and if it will pop out. I’m brown skinned with naturally light eyes and 2 black parents but my dad has greyish green eyes and dark skin so is he mixed too? LOL
