you can't tell by someone's facial features if they are mixed. my mom looks like aaliyah but both her parents are black.
i need to see this interview because i can't find any other source of information that says she is anything other than afro-american.
it's not the one drop rule i am referring to, it's the fact that YOU and other people out there think that black people all look a certain way when we DONT.
God bless.

Uhm Calculatedplagues, I am Black for your info. Yes, she did speak of being multiracial on tape with Lifetime when they did a segment on her life; I freaking have the tape!!!!!!!!! It is also printed on her fan page. If YOU don't believe it then YOU are the one who needs to do the research! Yes, I can usually tell by facial features, not always, but most of the time I am correct and I am correct in this case!!!!
Oh yeah and do you have a copy of Aaliyah's album? I think it's the last one she recorded. If so, take a look at the page inside where it shows a picture of her grandmother. I think you know what I am getting at -

I have never seen any of her films,but I have heard complimentary things about her acting. I'm registered under beliefnet.com and came across an interesting article on their website. I also did not know she had four different ethnic cultures in her background. She is very pretty and ages well. The article is really nice and informative. http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Celebrities/2008/10/Pam-Grier-Interview.aspx

Doesn't matter to me the least bit what her racial ancestry might be, she has always been a woman of stunning beauty. Although I do think the most beautiful women tend to be of mixed heritage.
I'm pretty damn sick of all the labels too. Seriously. Native American is a joke. Anyone born on American soil is a Native American. And what is the difference between a "colored person" and a "person of color"? How can one of those be an insult and the other an apt description? And when did "black" become verboten? I almost never hear it anymore, yet my friends that fit the category don't have a problem with it.
Really it speaks to this whole discussion, because unless the cops are putting out a description of a fleeing felon (black male, 6'2" skinny or white female 5'1" 300lbs with a cleft lip), I really don't see the purpose of continuing to divide ourselves in niche categories.
And again, Pam is one fine fine honeypot.Go die.>>>

you know what I'm getting sick and tire ofit's the 'she's not too black' so I like her or 'well, she's only HALF black' so I like her.
Black is black.
let's get real - some white males are afraid to admit openly that they are attracted to women of color. It's just taboo to admit it. Therefore, in order to be comfortablethey have to 'explain away' their attraction.
In other words, she's white but only HALF black or she's white but HALF hispanic or asian.
aren't we all human? what difference does it make? If you're attracted to someone, then that's all that matters. Stop trying to explain or justify your attraction. You really don't need to do it. Just say 'I date everyone that I'm attracted to and let the chips fall'.
