So this chick says she's "100% Italian"??

[intruder]

This is reality show star Melissa Gordo. According to her, she's always mistaken for being Black biracial, but she has no Black in her..she's all Italiano. And I'm like..um, does she know the history of Italy?.

I can never understand American's obsession with people's ethnic background.

Dont get me wrong, knowing this country's history i understand the RELEVANCE and why people may subconsciously acknowledge and wonder. But WHY it's so highly ranked among discussion topics is beyond me.

Dont worry about what they are. Focus on WHO they are.

True?

But how is that different than here? What flag do you wave? And what do the majority group of said flag think of you?

Black Americans tend to claim the red, white and blue, right. They say they are not african, they are American and therefore pledge alliegiance to the flag of the United States and ONLY the flag of the United States

• That red, white and blue was founded by white Americans by killing off native Americans and enslaving black americans.
  
• According to y'all most of these white americans have no love or sympathy for black americans which i agree that they dont.

Now, tell me again how her claiming the Italian flag while the native Italians shyt on her is different than the situation of black people here in the U.S.A?

some of you black people are lost so what if she has black blood. can't you people see other races do not want our black asses it's only black people who will try and claim other races. I have never heard a white person claim they are from Congo

BINGO!!!!

Black people see someone of darker skin tone and will try to find every single piece of evidence/reason to be able to call said person one of their own even when said person relinquish blackness.

And it's not just black as in black americans that do this

• Caribbean blacks do it
• Africans do it too

Explain how it's sooo different

Lord Ivar Mountbatten is a descendant of...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Gannibal

And please believe that this is a "whitened up" portrait of him. His bloodline went from Russia all the way to royal families in western Europe. His son is Alexander Pushkin, the Shakespeare of Russian literature/language.

There are paintings and statues of moors all through western Europe from the UK to Germany. They have a lot of that stuff in their museums.

First, learn the difference between Eastern and Western Europe. This dude is a heir of a royal from Russia (Catherine the Great). One White guy from a royal lineage having one Black ancestor does not make all Western Europeans direct descendants of Blacks lol

Seriously. Who gives a fukk about some Italian that might have some moor ancestry from a 1000 years ago? smh

Wasn't 1000 years ago you ignorant fukk. I guess 500 years from now which would be 1000 years from it's inception, we should forget about American slavery? You obviously cared enough to come in the thread and cry like a homotional female.

If she has any African blood its negligible, and certainly not enough to classify her as a black women

You're not a geneticist. Second, there isn't a percentage that makes you magically a Black person since that's a fairytale concept in the firstplace with no real root in science.
