I usually never blog/comment, but let me she some light. I have a niece that is hispanic and black and is darker than Shar. I have a niece that is white and black and looks completely white. I have a nephew that is black and mexican and he looks completely hispanic. It is impossible to at times to tell someones hertiage by looks along.
I do agree with both of u there are africans around the world your rite! But shes trying to get people to be amazed at her race i know it pretty stupid,but some people do that. This is america everybody is mixed, we are one race the human race:)
Ya’ll are dumb if you actually believe she is a mixed woman! Star is a black girl and is lying about her race and heritage b/c she hates being black. Her parents are both BLACK! No mexican, no nothing! If she is mixed then EVERY black person is mixed.
Tete,
You sound silly! Have you not understood what most on this board have been saying! The likely hood that a person of color in this country is not mixed is zero to none!!! So get over it! People like you is what race problems are about in this country! Your mind is conditioned to thinking just one way and I’m sorry for you! You need to take some courses in race relations and study as well the Black Diaspora!!!! Get a clue!!!
Why can’t she be biracial? Because she is dark? That’s just ignorant…I love my race and I’m biracial…do u think all biracial people have to be light?
if she’s puerto rican than i’m from mars.that sounds more believeable.
What does that mean Rafael?…Maybe her father is a dark Puerto Rican…they do exist you know…Black people are pretty much universal at this point…
that it seems that black celebrities,now claim puerto rican heritage.isn’t that a little far fetched?
Most Puerto Ricans are of African descent. It is proven through history and genetic studies. Some people are mostly black, some mostly white, no one was found to be mostly native, and there are people who fall between all 3 groups, or between black & white. There is not a lack of people of African descent in Latin America. The only difference is that the definition of Black is different.
Are you Puerto Rican? I bet you are an idiot that doesn’t know the history of the island or your own ancestry. This is old, it’s been done. You are so in denial. If her father is Puerto Rican, then that’s what he is. Maybe he’s black, maybe he’s not. She could have african or native ancestry through her mexican line. I’ve seen mexican “natives” darker than her.
who cares yes she do look black but race doesnt atter some of u need to grow up
