Her mom is Creole I think.

Okay, carry on.
Not to get into one of these "racial classification" threads ... which can get insanely pedantic... but Creole is one of the original American "racial mixtures;" if Beyonce is part Creole, then she is almost certainly mixed race, as that is what Creole means.

from Wikipedia:

Her mother, a Louisiana Creole, has African, French, Native American, and Irish ancestry; she is a descendant of Acadian leader Joseph Broussard.

If it wasn't the only reason to date someone from another race but just another good reason.

This girl I used to talk to said we would have beautiful kids because of my height, complexion and my natural body build and her pretty feautures.

I do want my kids to be biracial.
And I do want a beautiful daughter. I mean come on no one wants ugly kids.

I want my daughter to look like alicia keys, amerie, Cassie, Beyonce or even dolicia Bryant




There was also a study down that determined that mixed people have better genes then pure breds. It sounds like a quote from the underworld series but it seems true. Whats your take on this?

Do you think there's other people out there who date inter racially for this reason as well?
What if you give both to an ugly son anyway? Will you put him down into a self hating man? You have to be open to possibilities when you become a parent. You children can become literally anything no matter how hard you try to "mold" them.

I know what Creole means.

I just meant that she does not have one white parent and one black parent. Are there white people in her bloodline? Sure, lots of lighter black people (and some darker black people) have white people in their bloodline. But that doesn't make her any different than any other light skinned black woman with 2 parents who identify as black.

You and I know this makes perfect sense, but some people are such perpetual victims that they can't recognize truth when it's right in front of their noses.

OMG I said the word "nose." Must be a veiled racist remark.

And there are even fewer Asian actors and even fewer mixed Asian actors. I must be ugly. If people think that white people are beautiful - they must think I'm hideous. If people think Heidi Klum is beautiful - then they must think I'm ugly because she's tall and I'm short. If people think Hugh Jackman is hot then they must think I'm ugly because he's a man and I'm a woman.

See how dumb that sounds?

Read this and stop with the self hatred. It's getting on all of our nerves.

Wanted to say something along the lines of this.

Dating someone just to get pregnant is wrong, go to a sperm bank then you can pick and choose whomever you want according to their physical stats. Hopefully the children will not be as shallow as they grow into adults.

Right on.

I feel very sorry for any child of parents who put this much emphasis on looks.

And why intentionally choose to be a single parent? I mean, I have been a single parent, but it wasn't a choice I made prior to having kids. Why just "date" someone to get pregnant? The whole thing is whacked.

hmm.. well i'm not really following you. Sounds like you're saying that the only way Beyonce could be "mixed race" is if she had one white parent and one black parent... but surely you don't believe that.
