to ava and tyheira… his wife isnt white if you really take a good look at her she doesnt look like she is at all. now i could be wrong but just by really looking at her, and then the kids i believe she is just very light. or biracial herself

Cute family! I’m not sure his wife is white (not that it matters), I think the blonde hair is throwing people off.

You Americans are so dumb. All this white/black business. In these articles it’s all I read. Does it REALLY matter? Why are u always so hung up on race? All this “look at her nose” business, Really – is that what it boils down to over there?

Unfortunately London… Yes is does matter a lot over here. Should it matter? NO! But does it? YES! Not by choice but by the cards we were dealt. It is part of the history of this country. Thigs have and are slowly changing but as a right now it seems to always be a factor in almost everything we do. So don’t get so offensive and agitated with Americans because of it. Maybe one day we will completely over come this and maybe we won’t. Frankly I am quite happy that it is always on the table as a topic of discussion. Considering our long and negetive past, it show growth and movement in the right direction. There is a lot all of the backgrounds and cultures need to learn about each other. Not just racially but ethnically as well.

LondonClaire,
I have traveled to Europe many times and you Englanders are ALWAYS trying to be like us, so dumb must be in. Also since you don’t know, different ethnic groups have certain characteristics and features that why it was pointed out.

London Claire,
First off, beautiful name.
Secondly, choose your words wisely next time.
What you don’t know, you should ask about. Ask out of genuine curiosity and not to make a mockery of someone’s culture and country. I have visited several countries and what I have discovered is that people ridicule what they don’t understand. So, in reality, you calling us Americans dumb, is actually a reflection of ignorance on your part.

At least you Americans are not afraid to ask questions when it comes to race issues. Over here in the U.K people are afraid to ask these questions as it often leads to accussation of being a racist, weird but true.
That’s why i like reading the Black-American forum and threads as Americans are not afraid to air their true views when it comes to race issues, too much subtle/hidden forms of racism exists here in the U.K.
This comment comes from a Black-British resident.

He has a beautiful family and I love seeing him in movies and on television.

Writing from the U.S. here: Yes, Rebecca Crews was born to an interracial couple. I am proud to be an American and to know that we have the freedom to express ourselves. It’s good to have all kinds of opinions. Here in the U.S., we (all) of us are judged by our ethnicity and color. We know that “race” does not exist and that it is a social construct; there is only the human race. HOWEVUH, as we say in Jersey, in the U.S. we talk in terms of White and Black because the media does that, and many of us are raised from the womb to be conditioned that way. I am glad we do not all look the same. How boring that would be.
Just think, many generations from now, everyone will be even more ethnically and “racially” mixed here in the U.S. By *then*, will we Black people will be *permitted* to call ourselves multiracial if we so choose? Right now, many of us get laughed in our faces or smirked at if we label ourselves as multiracial (and if those of us who are biracial happen to have come out brown-skinned with hair “too kinky” to make us biracial; that’s bull).
But I wonder, too: When that day comes, a day when Black people will be allowed to self-identify (think of White people in the U.S. who’ll quickly say “I’m Danish-French-German-Italian-Russian”), including on job applications (where ticking the “Black/African American” box on an on-line application can exclude us from employment), will White people who have Black ancestry hidden from many generations of White-White unions stop passing for White? I ask this question because of the United States of America’s “one-drop rule.”
If I share lineage with a U.S. White person, and we have the same Black great-great-grandfather, why is she considered White and I am considered Black? If I share lineage with a U.S. White person, and we have the same White grandfather or great-grandfather, why is she considered White and I am considered Black? These questions give us food for thought.
Here are a few more questions: Why is it that, here in the U.S., when a biracial child has the appearance of recessed genes (think Alicia Keys; there are Whiter-looking examples among celebs, but she immediately comes to mind), people of all “colors” exclaim how cute the child is because Black and White mixed? When are we as Black people going to get past the good hair/bad hair thing? (I still hear those phrases, and I can only hope that Chris Rock’s movie “Good Hair” will move us past that negative mentality — but, then, Mr. Rock can do only so much as one person!)
It’s bad enough how we as Black people STILL are treated in the workplace by Whites who practice colorism just as much as Blacks but who have the economic power to make Blacks hurt in the pocket (e.g., putting a “lighter-skinned” Black person in a higher-paying position and allowing him to interface with high-level clients but relegating a “darker-skinned” Black person in a lower-paying position. I once witnessed a seasoned paralegal of ebony hue get mistaken for a messenger. Now, if we are messengers, we should be treated fairly as well; my point is that this Black man had studied hard (I knew him) to become a senior paralegal but the perception of the White executive speaking to him was that he couldn’t possibly have such high qualifications.
Regarding colorism, we as Black people need to stop the in-fighting and the stereotypes. I no longer want to hear a hairstylist tell me that she is tired of “light-complected” (her word) Black women complaining that the relaxer is on too long; that they are too “tenderheaded.” Hunh??? This hairstylist is a darker-brown-skinned sister from the Caribbean, but she easily could have been from the U.S. mainland. This insanity needs to stop.
And for the record, for any of us on here talking about facial features/characteristics and hair textures: All different kinds of ethnicities and “races” have the same features/characteristics. Maybe you just haven’t met someone who didn’t fit your preconceived notion of a person from that ethnicity or “race.” I have met many a White woman who whispered: “If you only knew how kinky my hair really is.” Un-hunh, close your mouth; you’re drooling on yourself.

Well said!!!!! The family is beautiful.

If you have watched the show they have on BET, Rebecca Crew’s mother has been on two episodes, and she is a black woman. On her website, Rebecca has stated that she was born to an interracial married couple. So obviously if you see her mother’s black, that must mean her father was white (unfortunately he passed when she was younger). Remember genes work in different ways, so just because Rebecca’s light doesn’t mean all of her children would be. All black Americans come in different shades, just like any other ethnicity.
