If so many of you think you know Sandra's mother cheated then how do you explain her equally black-looking brother Adriaan? He may have been lighter but still looked black... and came out looking exactly like the father. Eerily-so in my eyes. Sandra just looked like her Mama. I only wish there was a picture of Leon, her "white" brother, around somewhere. Supposedly even he didn't look fully caucasian. Kids at school gave him the nickname "Jew".

I will say it again,only one race of people the human race unless you mixed with fallen angles or the animals that they made.

[bon ami]

thank you you said it right.

and people only inherit 10%of the dna from the gene pool 100% so thats why when people thought that they were from one country it turns out that they are more mixed than they thought.

[bon ami]

firstly they gave the poor girl and her parents had a full dna test the thing is that do you think all those people that kept the meeting would have allowed her to have been allowed to have a white been called white fact is that both of her parents are of mixed heritage and in those days it was harder for people of black/coloured heritage to have jobs or a good home so they would have to hide the fact that they were people of black mixed heritage.

exactly ! A STORY

[SoooGood1975]

they are speaking about mankind before they had a skin color...they are talking about the bones that look humanoid. You are then saying that pre-neanderthal was the black race. Cro-Magnon began what people feel was the dawn of man's intellect that made him superior to other humanoids. Cro-magnon is often associated with the Caucasian features. So that would mean white people are the smart ones? Your premise is flawed. (I personally don't believe in evolution).
