@mrsolofeo She can call herself black or whatever she likes--but if she is genetically 4% black then she ain't black. I'm mostly Italian--I can call myself Norwegian, but just because I choose to call myself Norwegian--it doesn't mean that I'm Norwegian.
lmao her dads grandmother was venezuelan, if thats the case im muitiracial too. every black person greatgrandmother or father is mixed lmao. she know she black. lol
I've noticed more and more biracial people who are mixed with black tend to claim their black side. I mean 90% of the mixed people i know call themselves black wether it's mexican and black, white and blak, asian and black etc...... But when they do that the other side gets mad and bitch about them not calling themselves white, mexican or w/e. The point is claiming your black side has and always will be a regular thing especially in america. So get over it, mariah saids she's black
@BlackSkullz09 ...Clearly your perspective of how mixed race people identify is limited to where you live. Not ALL mixed race people go around calling themselves 'just black'....I don't. I call myself mixed, because that is factual. It's clearly obvious that my ambiguous appearance screams that I'm mixed and so I follow suite. No one can dispute that, unless if you're a racist black Afro-centrist or a white supremacist with an agenda, of course! lol :)
@exotiq88 When biracial people claim they are black they don't mean to say they're full black, in fact I think that they should be able to claim both sides. However some claim black because their black features (for many) are obvious at first glance to people, sometimes non-blacks would refer to them as "the black girl or black guy". However a biracial person would be denying one side if he or she were to lie about being mixed when asked.
@leon8chicken So what I'm 50% African 20% European and 30% Native... I'm black. If Mariah wants to claim black because of her lineage she can do that like many other people. Black, Brown and Native pride!
go to google type in wwwmexconnectcom or african/mexican or black faces in latin america it will blow your mind mexico second president was a freed african slave mix with spanish blood dont believe it look it up black brown unite before its to late
@johnboygotti the Guerreros were accounted "españoles americanos" "American Spaniards" in a contemporary census of Tixtla. His family consisted of landlords, rich farmers and traders with broad business connections in the south, members of the Spanish militia and gun and cannon makers. Probably, these were the reasons why the criollo status of the Guerreros was respected, although Vicente was of partial African descent on his mother side.
george lopez is retarded....latino is nota fucking race!!!!!!!!!!...venezuelans can be fully white..fully black fully indian or mixed!!!!!fucken dumb beaner.
Mariah is biracial but also she may be admixture like taino Indian because her father's family is from Venezuela. There are taino Indians live in Venezuela. Maybe she doesn't know if she is part taino Indian.
@tenshinhann1 I am married to a black woman--we are presently separated--and we have a gorgeous bi-racial daughter. You can believe me because--unlike a lot of other men--I do not lie to women.
Also, It's not nice to tell people to shut up, because I wouldn't talk to you that way.
@mrsolofeo Based on your argument, I think you may be a bit confused. Mariah was reading George's DNA results, not her own. George is 4% African. She clearly stated her background as Irish and African American. She mentioned a great grandmonther of Venezuelen nationality (probably Afro-Venezuelen race wise).
@dgsierra10 Latin languages are Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. all from southern Europe, where Rome ruled before it fell. Swedish, Germans and English are not Latin. English has a mix of Latin though, as do the other languages, only after they mixed with the Romans all those years ago, thus they formed the "Holy Roman Empire" after Rome fell, and then it continued.
@dgsierra10 English is a mix of Germanic (northern European) and Latin (southern European) languages. This is because the northern European "barbarians" (so-called by the Romans thousands of years ago) invaded near the time Rome fell and mixed with the Romans in the land we now call "England" and thus the mixture of languages. Prior to the invasion of the Nordic/Germanic tribes into the south of Europe, all Germanic peoples had light hair, red and blond, with blue eyes, but now it's mixed.
@dgsierra10 The correct term would be "Mexican" for Mexican people, not "Hispanic". Look up the origins of "Hispanic" and you'll see it's from Europe, not Mexico. Mexicans speak Spanish (European language) but that does not mean they're full Spanish (the genetic group of Europeans living in Spain), just like Mike Tyson speaks English (barely), but that doesn't mean he's of English descent.
People SERIOUSLY need to learn the difference between LANGUAGE, CULTURE and GENETICS! PLEASE! lol
The people that invented the "one drop rule" obviously did not take a DNA test themselves because like George here, they probably would have found Black heritage as well, even just a small amount. 4% is more than one drop. So is George Black now? The One Drop Rule inventors were pretty much assuming they had no Black heritage. Or less than 1/ 18th. But even if someone has less than 1/ 18 its still a "drop". What if someone has half a drop? Are they Black? Proves how ignorant that rule has been.
@multiracialheritage Yep and how dumb it still is. White and blacks still follow it with out even knowing it.
People are just comfortable calling half white and half black people black assuming that person considers themself black and if they don't they get bashed for it and if they consider themselfs white they get laughed at and call them self hating negroes.
@MangoMass77 Many Biracial/Multiracial people tend to call themselves only Black due to pressures from society. I could care less how society sees me, but I can imagine it can be even more difficult for celebrities to call themselves multiracial. Look at the heat Tiger Woods got back in 1997. He has not relented in how he identifies himself, but he certainly doesn't discuss it anymore. However these people should stand up and identify how they want, its THEIR life, not society's.
Black people are always so adamant about a mixed person saying they are just black, as if the black side will always and automatically accept them without fail. This is not always the case. Many have been rejected by family, and/or others within the black community solely b/c they are mixed.
@multiracialheritage I"m Multiracial and have always considered myself so.. We would like to be acknowledged as a unique entity, especially here in America in the year 2011, it's the 1800's any longer.
@piccolo933 If that's how she feels comfortable identifying, that's okay. I feel people of mixed race(s) are made to choose a certain ethnicity. Mariah also has Venezuelan heritage. Her biological grandfather's name (father's side) was Francisco Nunez and when he moved to NYC changed his last name to *Carey*, a name take from his grandfather. Mariah has Multiracial heritages herself.
@piccolo933 not completely! we are a mix of Europeans (Spain), Africans (slaves) and indigenous people (native people). Obviously some have more black, white or brown but pretty much a mix.
@dgsierra10 What country are you from and which website or book says that?
Brazilians are excluded in the united states definition of what latino means and in europe it says people with a romance language, the language the romans, native of latium a ancient roman.
I've never heard that just brazilians are considered latino.
@dgsierra10 Latino Europa/Latin Europe: Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Romania, etc
Even though other european countries have some latin words they aren't as common as those countries i mention so that's why they don't get considered latino.
the spanish language comes from vulgar latin so that's why Spain is part of latin europe. So saying just brazil is latino is dumb.
Google Latin Union it will show you all the countires that are part of it.
You can hear all the latinos in the background cheering when gorge lopez said well you have some latina in you, they were happy but sorry,she is black so step back
@kev2128, well, blacks in "Latin America" have become an invisible minority. They are virtually non-existent in Mexico. How much of Spanish language TV shows black stars who speak Spanish?
another thing. someone said that theres no such thing as a latino race. I believe that any native of a certain country is considered indian. as if to say, all indians are the same race, except every native of a particular country has thier own culture and adaptations,therefore making them distinct by mutations of thier genetic codes, inorder to adapt and socially survive in their surroundings.
if im not mistaken, european is considered white because of the skin colour and culture, indian can be latin or native american, alot of the "latin" ppl are a mixture of european and indian. the real latin americans are indians. go to the deep parts of south america + u cant tell the difference between central americans and south americans, they all look like native americans
Does George realize that hispanic is a mixture of European and Native American. The 55% European does NOT stand for "latino" (which isn't even a race, but culture), it stands for white.
The european part is wrong. yes most are descendants from a Spaniard. BUT there's many french, Italian, Portuguese etc etc in all of central and south America. mixed and remixed. Many of which changed their last name too. kinda of like how blacks in the past in nUSA were given English last names. Doesn't mean they have direct or mixed english lineage right? they don't.
Why do Americans think that being Latino is a Race?? there is no such thing as a Latino Race it's a Bloody cultural heritage *sigh* these people need Re-educating.
@afrolatinadamien right. latin americans are indians. most of the modern day "lantinos" are a mix of european and indian. all the sub races are mixtures of other cultures. maybe thats just my opinon
She said she is black. She MARRIED A BLACKMAN. How much proof do people need. I bet if the Egyptians were to come back to life and walk up to europeans and said they were black, they europeans would be like no you're not! LMAO!!
@kev2128 And as for her marrying a Black man, that does not make her Black. She WAS married to a WHITE MAN (Tommy Mottola) years ago. Did that make her White? Here is a quote from Mariah on mixedchild. com: "I have a mother who is 100 percent Irish who raised me from my birth and who is my best friend. So if I were to say that I'm Black only, that would be negating everything she is. So when people ask, I say I'm Black, Venezuelan and Irish, because that's who I am."
@multiracialheritage I remember that quote. I would not want to leave out the parent who raised me either. I can imagine how that would make them feel.
Mariah Carey even said she was black. Dont worry, 500 years from now white people will be claiming Mariah as white kinda like they do with the Egyptians, claiming they were white when they were also black! LMAO!!
IF her grandfather wouldnt have changed his name from Nunez to assimilate she would have been Mariah Nunez.... i wonder if she would still be claiming black because her family is AfroVenezuelen..not African American
@SheixinTV how ignorant, amerindians, south americans, indigenous, why they call then latinos its from the spaniards blood mixture, latinos from the spanish in SPAIN, dear.... read before you talk
The one drop rule or myth is completely racist. It was only during Jim Crow that this nonsense went into affect prior to that those mixed were consider a separate race from black and white similar to the South African Coloureds. Its ridiculous think about it hardly anyone is 100% any race. Even the whitest looking person probably has some African, Asian or Native American or some other race in them even if its just a small percentage like George Lopez here.
@dgsierra10 There is no African race dgsierra10.The berbers,and peoples from Egypt,and Nubia were all different colors,and African.Egypt and nubia were two different nations.
People riding on this Venezuelan thing with Mariah are failing to realize that Slaves were brought to Venezuela. Her father had Venezuelan ancestry by way of his mother or grandmother, but was that Spanish Venezuelan or Slave blood Venezuelan? Mariah is of Irish and African descent, with maybe some European descent by way of some Spanish/Venezuelan blood. She said it clearly. In America if you have "Black" blood, that is what you are, we didn't make this up...no matter about skin color. THE LAW.
The one-drop rule took place after the reconstruction era ended and the jim crow laws took places.Before that that mixed people where called colored,that was not the same as black.I have see old laws saying mixed people were seen as white,they even owned slaves along with native Americans.The laws have always changed in different eras.The one-drop rule died in the 60's,so stop acting like a slave.
All people with African Ancestry unless passing for white during that era were called colored. This was not a term reserved for Mulattos. Also many of these "white mulattoes" were descendants of a slave owners, or were Free People of Color (Black or Mulatto). Mulattos where not seen as white. Some passed for white, but once that was discovered, it would be extremely dangerous. Also the one drop rule is still being used in deciding court cases to this date.
@ dgsierra10 -No, they are Nothern African. They are not Arabic but they were conquered and colonized by the Arabs
Just like most most country in Western Europe like France, Spain, Portugal, Romania Italy were Part of the Roman Empire which had for native language : Latin.
In some area in Egypt near the borders, they do mix with the Sudanese like ex-president Anwar El Sadat.
He said that european part is latino, because is from spain, this country among france, italy, portugal, and even rumania, are latins why?, because of the languages, which descend from vulgar latin, thus the term latin america, because in this region, spanish, portuguese and french are spoken. so it doesn't has anything to do with white, black ,brown, blue or orange.
@liongod888 i guess everyone hates whites so by saying Spaniards arent white it calms his audience down but it doesnt make it true. hes mostly mestizo mostly white and native 4% is barely anything.i love how she ask the latino sections of you LOL fail
@liongod888 yea but its weird how he only has 4% african because a lot of latinos have african in them...like for example im black/dominican and i know i have african from my dominican side
@kev2128 I know right!? I like that Mariah isnt ashamed to say she's black! she knows she's mixed, so ppl need to calm down...but she also knows that she's no different from other black ppl who are multi-generational mulattos themselves. just sayin.
yeah its unfortunate but looking at the positive side racism has changed alot in the last decades so even though its not at all how it should be, there's hope

@piccolo933 If that's how she feels comfortable identifying, that's okay. I feel people of mixed race(s) are made to choose a certain ethnicity. Mariah also has Venezuelan heritage. Her biological grandfather's name (father's side) was Francisco Nunez and when he moved to NYC changed his last name to *Carey*, a name take from his grandfather. Mariah has Multiracial heritages herself.

@piccolo933 not completely! we are a mix of Europeans (Spain), Africans (slaves) and indigenous people (native people). Obviously some have more black, white or brown but pretty much a mix.

@dgsierra10 What country are you from and which website or book says that?
Brazilians are excluded in the united states definition of what latino means and in europe it says people with a romance language, the language the romans, native of latium a ancient roman.
I've never heard that just brazilians are considered latino.
So i don't know where you read that definition.

@dgsierra10 Latino Europa/Latin Europe: Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Romania, etc
Even though other european countries have some latin words they aren't as common as those countries i mention so that's why they don't get considered latino.
the spanish language comes from vulgar latin so that's why Spain is part of latin europe. So saying just brazil is latino is dumb.
Google Latin Union it will show you all the countires that are part of it.

another thing. someone said that theres no such thing as a latino race. I believe that any native of a certain country is considered indian. as if to say, all indians are the same race, except every native of a particular country has thier own culture and adaptations,therefore making them distinct by mutations of thier genetic codes, inorder to adapt and socially survive in their surroundings.
therootofallprobs 1 year ago
if im not mistaken, european is considered white because of the skin colour and culture, indian can be latin or native american, alot of the "latin" ppl are a mixture of european and indian. the real latin americans are indians. go to the deep parts of south america + u cant tell the difference between central americans and south americans, they all look like native americans

Does George realize that hispanic is a mixture of European and Native American. The 55% European does NOT stand for "latino" (which isn't even a race, but culture), it stands for white.

@junkman25 Do you realize Hispanic is NOT a mixture of European and Native American?
Hispanic stands for Spanish, period. Spanish is European, period. Nothing else.
So many of these labels are technically false, and people should drop them.
And "Native Americans" are actually Asian, so that should be changed in peoples' minds as well.

The european part is wrong. yes most are descendants from a Spaniard. BUT there's many french, Italian, Portuguese etc etc in all of central and south America. mixed and remixed. Many of which changed their last name too. kinda of like how blacks in the past in nUSA were given English last names. Doesn't mean they have direct or mixed english lineage right? they don't.

kev2128 1 year ago
@kev2128 And as for her marrying a Black man, that does not make her Black. She WAS married to a WHITE MAN (Tommy Mottola) years ago. Did that make her White? Here is a quote from Mariah on mixedchild. com: "I have a mother who is 100 percent Irish who raised me from my birth and who is my best friend. So if I were to say that I'm Black only, that would be negating everything she is. So when people ask, I say I'm Black, Venezuelan and Irish, because that's who I am."

The one drop rule or myth is completely racist. It was only during Jim Crow that this nonsense went into affect prior to that those mixed were consider a separate race from black and white similar to the South African Coloureds. Its ridiculous think about it hardly anyone is 100% any race. Even the whitest looking person probably has some African, Asian or Native American or some other race in them even if its just a small percentage like George Lopez here.

People riding on this Venezuelan thing with Mariah are failing to realize that Slaves were brought to Venezuela. Her father had Venezuelan ancestry by way of his mother or grandmother, but was that Spanish Venezuelan or Slave blood Venezuelan? Mariah is of Irish and African descent, with maybe some European descent by way of some Spanish/Venezuelan blood. She said it clearly. In America if you have "Black" blood, that is what you are, we didn't make this up...no matter about skin color. THE LAW.
dvinemrsshay 2 years ago
The one-drop rule took place after the reconstruction era ended and the jim crow laws took places.Before that that mixed people where called colored,that was not the same as black.I have see old laws saying mixed people were seen as white,they even owned slaves along with native Americans.The laws have always changed in different eras.The one-drop rule died in the 60's,so stop acting like a slave.
oramikleepunk 1 year ago
All people with African Ancestry unless passing for white during that era were called colored. This was not a term reserved for Mulattos. Also many of these "white mulattoes" were descendants of a slave owners, or were Free People of Color (Black or Mulatto). Mulattos where not seen as white. Some passed for white, but once that was discovered, it would be extremely dangerous. Also the one drop rule is still being used in deciding court cases to this date.

Just like most most country in Western Europe like France, Spain, Portugal, Romania Italy were Part of the Roman Empire which had for native language : Latin.
In some area in Egypt near the borders, they do mix with the Sudanese like ex-president Anwar El Sadat.

He said that european part is latino, because is from spain, this country among france, italy, portugal, and even rumania, are latins why?, because of the languages, which descend from vulgar latin, thus the term latin america, because in this region, spanish, portuguese and french are spoken. so it doesn't has anything to do with white, black ,brown, blue or orange.
