Mermaid77, what is your point of trolling the board with the same subject, to make you feel better about yourself? You have spent about two years going to just about every mayor star and claiming they are black and passing for white, when in reality most of the fans don't care what they were since they love this stars no matter what.
Your arguments are pointless and narrow-minded and I don't think it bothers anyone if these stars had black in them or green Martian blood. A star is a star and therefore loved by most races no matter what the color or their heritage was. You need to step off the 1960's and stop claiming white stars as black because frankly, no one cares.
You have devoted your life for the past 2 or so years by posting the same thing over and over again at most mayor star as if your intention is to bother people. And today with the world crumbling economy, terrorism and what not, you are going from board to board posting basically the same thing.
Sounds like you have a needless inferiority complex about being black yourself, therefore, you concoct these wild fabrications about these stars so you can feel better about yourself.
It's Ok to admire Carol Channing and others without having to resort to idiotic claims that she was half black. The point he is the Ms. Chancing is a legend and a great entertainer and that's all the fans care about.
At the Diana Ross board no one is going around saying that she is trying to pass herself as white, despite the obvious ski bleaches and her more commercial voice sound.
Why don't you try accepting yourself and these stars for their talent and not their supposedly heritage. In the end it doesn't make a difference and I don't see what is it that you get by these off the wall claims. Satisfaction? Bother people? Attention? Trolling? Maybe you have a problem being black and and the old saying goes, "Misery loves company." This is your own way to feel less lonely.

What about whites who tan and get surgery to make their lips look fuller? Are they trying to look black? -

Got a better one than that!!!
How about admitting that White people, other than CC, can be African-Americans!!!
Africa is a large continent, not country, and many races/ethnicities/colors exist there.
Anyone of these not dark people can come to the USA and become citizens thusly being a none-Black African-American.
Unfortunately the term African-American brings to mind only one race to most people.
Perhaps these non-Black African-Americans should file for minority benefits, etc. that if that person filed as Caucasian, he/sh5b4e would not be entitled to. It'll at least get that person listed as a minority!!
If you can't beat them, join them!!
Think About It!!! -
