    Calling somebody restarted is so low, and disrespectful that like saying the F word to god! Mental Retardation is a disability you ass face. and most people with that disability are smarter than most average people on this world and probably smarter than YOU ! so before you say somebody is retarded read up on it and read the definition you disgrace!!

    Before you call someone else “retarded”, maybe you should learn how to write a legible paragraph. I think you’re obvious inability to read or write would actually make YOU the ignorant one.

      its like jennifer lopez saying she’s puerto rican, she never stated her race, neither did rosie. same goes for adam rodriguez, lala vasquez, ramon rodriguez, daddy yankee etc. pr is mixed, people dont look at their ancestry too much. some dont even know their ancestry. just like yourself, when you didnt know your family history

    • Multiethnicchick says:

      If you think she looks black, then you have no idea what a full on black person looks like and should stop talking

      • midori29 says:

        @Multiethnic chick You have no idea what black people look like yourself. Rosie looks like an African American woman and she just avoids the designation by calling herself Puerto Rican. It does not matter full on or not her African dna is very obvious . Why do black people have to be full on? You can find 10 percent black in light skin looking like Rosie. click this link this West African girl is 100 percent African. You have no idea what black people look like. Shame. Stop your stupid stereotypical racism.
        100 percent black African by dna

      You need to relax. Stating you nationality is not denying your race.
