LMAO! Have not heard that one before - feel sorry for all the un-authentic blacks out there You are something else for sure!

Most black people do have white blood in them like the poster you responded to said. I bet my mother and grandmother are both blacker than you. They are extremely dark. My DH says my mom is the blackest black person he has ever met lol!

Her great grandmother was listed as a "mullato" on the 1920 census. I have done extensive genealogy on both sides of my family and I have a lot of extremely dark ancestors, my mom, my grandma (on my mom's side), my great grandma (on my father's side and practically her whole family were dark skinned), my great grandfather (my grandmother's father, practically everyone on his side of the family were extremely dark like my mom, blue/black dark). Yet I am a medium tone like Queen Latifah. My dad is "high yella" even though his grandmother was very very dark, as was that whole side of his mom's family and half of his father's family.

We have a good mixture of dark and light in my family. My blue black mother has white ancestry as did my dark skinned great grandfather on my father's side of the family.

Not to be rude, but you don't know what you are talking about. If you did some research on your family, I would bet that you have a couple white ancestors.

I am not sure if I believe you. A lot of black americans online always claim to be medium toned or lightskinned with white ancestors. Nobody ever admits to being darkskinned, with predominantly black ancestry. I feel like I am the only darkskinned unmixed Black woman online.

A little genetics would help clear-up your confusion. The darker the skin does NOT necessitate less white ancestry. There are AAs that are very dark who have one parent who is white or AAs who look, as you say, authentic but have a good admixture. You are just wrong on this issue.

I've never seen a biracial/mixed person who looks like me. Which is very darkskin, round nose, full lips, kinky hair. No one has ever asked me if I was mixed before in my life.

That's a very small sample size.
