Well I am black. And I admit that I have caucasian in my background, b/c my eyes are hazel/green. But you must know that ppl in Africa have different hair textures, b/c they are mixed with things like caucasian and Arabic.

Oh,please-any black person can straighten their hair by pressing it, making it easier to comb, or buy their hair from a beauty shoplike the other posters said,having straight hair is NOT always a sign you are mixed. Plus, Lewis is black because that is what she OBVIOUSLY isa black womanperiod. Being mixed does NO2000T cancel out your blackness, like so many people seem to think it doeshell,no it dosen't!! -

Other races get their features from black people.
Like I said, what about white people have dark/olive or naturally tanned skin?
What about white people with brown eyes?
What about white people with full lips or a wide nose?
What about white people with curly/kinky hair?
What about white people with dark hair?
What about white women who are built like black women? -

@Diamond97
You make some good pointsI see non-black people with features like that all the timebut that's very common in the Detroit area, which is pretty diverse despite being,sadly, one of the more segregated areas in the country, due to its history of racial segregation, which only ended just over 50 years ago. Some folks with those features have either black/Latino/Italian/Arabic heritagedepends on who they are and where they're from,basically. -

I never understood why SOME African Americans seem to always be so hung up on race. My parents are from the Caribbean and dark skinned, but I never heard growing up half this half that or the funniest 1/4 this. How the hell is someone three quarters of anything . . . my grandfather was . . . come on. You are what you are move on. Embrace what you are be proud of it and move on, seriously. Almost everyone on the face of the earth is mixed. Why does that have any bearing? Leave this 'one drop' mentality alone.
