If you saw Beyonce's mom walking down the street, what would you guess?

[clete27]

she looks white to me

[Sikeliot]

Dominican.

[Mortimer]

yeah probably white

[KidMulat]

Creole

[clete27]

I've seen so many white women that look just like her. Maybe those women have Native American blood

[DanielJ1eH]

Black. Nose is to flat.

[Sikeliot]

She's probably around 20-25% African, 10% Amerindian and the rest Euro.

[Celxon]

Evidently, Beyonce's mom is Carmen Elektra. Who knew?

Edit: I'm referring to the first photo. She looks like she's half or a quarter Black in the other one.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Off white. Mulatta.

[clete27]

if you live in the Southern US, you'll see a lot of "white" woman like that. They usually have husky voices

[Gaston]

Fake and plastic, like many women these days.

Aren't there pre-surgeries pictures of her?

[Smeagol]

Lol, she would never be considered White in the the United States. Dominican probably.

You gotta be joking me?

[clete27]

Lol, she would never be considered White in the the United States. Dominican probably.

What about the majority of the US, where people have no clue what a Dominican is? In the Southern US, she would be viewed as a white. She looks like a full-figured Southern white woman with a husky voice. But if she opened her mouth and had an African-American accent, people would think she was black

[Sikeliot]

You gotta be joking me?

What do you think she is? No way is she mulatta. She is closer to quadroon. I can show you people I share with on 23andme who are quadroons who look as black if not more than she does.

Brah no she wouldn't in the south everyone would think correctly that she is creole.

[Sikeliot]

Brah no she wouldn't in the south everyone would think correctly that she is creole.

In the northeast US she'd be Dominican, most likely. Or in my town Brazilian or Cape Verdean.

[Nehellenia]

She'd have to be at least 3/8th African still, but Mulatto still, she cannot pass for white, only mixed race.

[Smeagol]

What about the majority of the US, where people have no clue what a Dominican is?

She'd just be viewed as mulatto probably.


In the Southern US, she would be viewed as a white.

No she wouldn't, she has clear Ssa influence.

[KidMulat]

I disagree, but then again you though Vanessa Williams was more Euro than African.

[Stormer99]

Dominican or a darker Rosie Perez type Puerto Rican.

[clete27]

Brah no she wouldn't in the south everyone would think correctly that she is creole.

Louisiana sure, but the rest of the South doesn't have that term in their vocabulary, unless they're talking about creole seasoning. Southerners wouldnt see this lady and say "hmm, looks like a creole lady" They would either think "light-skinded black" or "husky-voiced white lady"

Bruh people know what a Creole is in the South: Jazz, Gumbo, and Women that is what Creoles are known for.

[Sikeliot]

I disagree, but then again you though Vanessa Williams was more Euro than African.

She's 57% African, so she is still in "mulatto" range.

[clete27]

Louisiana aint the whole South bruh. And many people from other parts of the South dont even consider yall Southerners because yall Catholic and have French roots (you know how patriotic Southerners dont want anything to do with the French) and yall got weird accents. Anyways, "creole" is just for food in the rest of the South,

[KidMulat]

Tina's father is 30-40% African
http://i60.tinypic.com/72a874.jpg
Her mother 50%

And please don't say her Grandfather looks white or that he doesn't look black because he'd not be considered Passé Blan among Creoles or Whites.

You're understanding of the South is so basic its a shame

[clete27]

Let me tell you that the very essence of Southern is being not Catholic, therefore, Southern Louisiana is a whole nother animal to Southerners. Southern people dont like Catholics and dont like French

[KidMulat]

The ignorance and the misrepresentation of my words I swear!

[Sikeliot]

Both of them look between 30-40% African.

[clete27]

These are my favorite songs about Louisiana. I love the culture

[KidMulat]

[blkmon3000]

[KidMulat]

[KidMulat]

oh im sorry mr. professor i didnt know a nigga from north dakota got to talk like yo punk ass.

See again you are doing it wrong.



Again can we ban him already?

[Sikeliot]

He's probably a troll and not really black anyway.

[KidMulat]

He's probably a troll and not really black anyway.

Sometimes I feel like 25% of the moderate users are puppet accounts

[TBZA]

I would think she's one of those light skin black woman who has a heavy European admixture.

[Methusalem]

I disagree, but then again you though Vanessa Williams was more Euro than African.

lmao Vanessa Williams looks more Euro than African. You joking?

[Prisoner Of Ice]

Looks kinda greek.

[DanielJ1eH]

Is this seriously what passes for white these days?

[clete27]

Is this seriously what passes for white these days?

Depends on her accent. There are some people that I dont know if they're black or white until they open their mouth

[Carlito's Way]

id think shes african american

[Sikeliot]

id think shes african american

Not Mexican? she looks as much like one as any Dominican does, and in fact looks more Amerindian than 90% of Dominicans. :rolleyes:

[Carlito's Way]
