She’s ugly. Nothing unique about her. She looks like a oridinary black girl who bleaches her skin and wears eye contacts.
Those are her real eyes, dummy.
She doesn’t bleach her skin or wear contacts shut the fuck up if you don’t know anything
Yeah… but she’s NOT black !
1 : her paternal grandmother is white
2 : yes, there is a lot of diversity in Africa but black people in the west indies and America are of west african descent and west african people are DARK-skinned with dark hair and dark eyes !!!
3 : mixed means mixed and NOT black.
@Samiiraa
(but black people in the west indies and America are of west african descent)
Actually the black people on this side of the world,are from all parts of Africa(including the East and the North).Before slavery took off the way it did,North African Blacks were taken first.Next after a deal was made,they fixated on West Africans.However they still often grabbed north Africans also.Then they grabbed East Africans,and people from Madagascar.Everyone else came gradually on their own over the centuries.
(west african people are DARK-skinned with dark hair and dark eyes !!!)
First tell me what you mean by dark skin,I need an example.Next there just as many East Africans,who are every bit as dark as you think west Africans are
(mixed means mixed and NOT black.)
Tell me what makes you a black person?
She’s not bi-racial mixed, she’s tri-racial mixed.
(she’s tri-racial mixed)
How so?
If she has Bajan, Guyanese, & Irish (and more) in her, wouldn’t that mean she is?
Bajan and guyanese are Nationality !! im of guyanese descent she is half bajan half guyanese her her father is bajan and her mom is guyanese ! All her grandparents are Caribbean/West Indian !! lol
You are on a webpage which explicitly states that her paternal grandmother was Irish, English, and Scottish and you’re trying to tell someone all her grandparents are Caribbean/West Indian? Are you for real?
tinashe
she only has black and white ancestry so shes not tri-racial. that means three not two.
I don’t like her or her music (cause shes a big ho-she boned jayz for record deal)but I must admit she is pretty.
you’re a ho too, but you’re pretty
