I hate how people treat attractive kids better than the non-attractive ones… so sad
Disclaimer: I apologize for the rant coming up!
Black people must hate the way they look because after coming to this website for the last couple of months i can honestly say it seems like 80% of these kids are mixed or bi-racial.
Yes its a free country, yes a black person can actually love another person of another race but it just seems like more than any other race, Black people (in Hollywood especially) look to other races for mates.
And this is not necessarily in reference to Seal and Heidi because i don’t think that’s the case here but when I scroll through the pages on here I see beautiful children who aren’t even full Black.
I don’t see interracial relationships and mixed children as a problem (I think they can be beautiful) but its hard not to think something is wrong in a community when so many of its children are getting lighter and brighter, brighter and whiter…
Am I wrong for thinking like this?
You are wrong. The world is changing and you have to get over yourself. You sound like the republican party. Love is colour blind and it is not the race that matter, it is the communication, above all LOVE between the couple. Do not be surprised in few years if the word race disappear. We all came from one person called “Adam”. Love always wins.
If that’s the case, then the white half of these relationships should have a finger pointed at them also for wanting to be with a black person! No one blames the white person in an interracial relationship but black people seem to be the ones who have problems with these relationships nowadays.
I suppose an angry mob of blacks should have chased all the white guys away from me back when I was single. I suppose I should have dumped my now husband back in the day because our relationship would send the wrong message. Never mind that he is perfect for me and I for him and even after almost 8 years of marriage we are even more in love and very close.
I would challenge most same-race marriages to be as good as ours, besides my parents’ successful 43-year one!!
Johan looks just like Heidi and Henry looks just like seal, beautiful family.
Since I’m the mother of an interracial baby, I guess I won’t comment on the above ‘rant’.. lol
Anyway…. always happy to see Johan & Henry. Henry looks like he’s getting tall. And Johann.. oh, that face!!! He is just too cute!!!
Suitepuma,
I REALLY did not want to reply to your message but I couldn’t leave without doing so.
You seem unaware of reality. It’s not that the black race is purposely looking toward other races as potential mates and/or parents, it just what the entertainment puts out there.
Unfortunately, it seems that the “industry” does prefer blacks with european features…BUT in the REAL WORLD, there IS black love and that black love is producing black children.
Sadly, you are letting what you see in Hollywood, magazines and tv cloud your reality. Come down to Texas, Idaho, New Hampshire, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Oregon, etc and I’m sure that you’ll see a change.
I agree with MixtryMama.
Why is it that black people hate the way we look?? Why isn’t it that white folks hate the way they look? There has been mixed race black people for centuries and even then it was our fault even though our women were being raped by their slave masters. Even then it was the slave women (who had absolutely no say so with regards to whom she slept with) who was enticing the white womans man in her bed.
Give me a break. I think people now are just more open to love who they want to love without ridicule.
Suite…I feel you. I thought when I first entered this site, more black children (of all shades) would be featured. It appears to be geared more towards interracial children/relationships though. And yes I know they’re partially black also before anyone bring that to my attention! Guess the name of the site is a little misleading.
I’m really starting to feel this is due to the individuals in control of the site. This is mainly what they choose to feature. I’m sure there are plenty of black celebrity couples/marriages w/children that can be featured a little more. Instead of them being featured, we’ll see the same people over & over.
Johan is beautiful! And @ Suitepuma : I agree with your observation. Sometimes folks don’t like to hear the truth when it ain’t pretty, or comes with such a deep-seeded pain.
When I met my husband, sixteen almost seventeen years now, we got a lot of heat in LA where we were from. I don’t even want to remember what it was like when we moved to Texas,lol. But if you are truly in love, you are best friends, that’s what it’s about, because no one would get into a relationship like that just cause you want “something new” because it can be very hard and if you’re not strong as a couple you won’t make it. And, if a few, beautiful little “beige” babies come out of the relationship, praise the Lord. It’s not just light and dark, it’s about love. Parents of biracial children, don’t let what’s going on outside your front door poison the happiness on the other side.
Thank you miamore. When did loving someone equate black hate?…regardless of the color of that person’s skin. My entire family represents a diaspora of the color of the black skin. We come in all tones because we have married WHOMEVER we chose to love and reproduce with. No self loathing here.
I just do not understand why it is so important to preserve any race. why does it matter? Just seems silly and insignificant. Only people who see others as races first care about with whom another person finds happiness.
Realist, realist. i know you’re supposed to be a realist of some sort but reality is that this site showcases kids of African descent. i don’t think they choose who celebrities fall in love with him. The reality is what it is. Perhaps a lot of celebrities are mixed-raced or have mixed raced kids. I don’t know what the big deal is. I love this site because they show a lot if kids of african descent that other sites fail to show. I have seen practically every “black” celebrity kid on here. From Halle’s, flavor flav’s, Denzel,Angelina Jolie’s…kids that are light-skinned/dark skinned/adopted. And perhaps the name ” Black Celebrity Kids” is misleading to those who are narrow minded and fail to see that “Blackness” comes in all shades.
I do apologize in advance if it may seem that i am on the attack-i don’t wish to attack anyone and their thoughts just that i think people need to start thinking out of the box.
Babygirl…maybe you need to read my response again. You pretty much said some of what I’ve already said. I responded to the first comment but it appears you only “NARROWED” in on my message. My comments are attention grabbers, I know (lol). That means I’m doing what I intended to do by getting my message across. We’re both free to our own opinions, so no need for you to apologize. I don’t apologize for anything I’ve said because that’s the way I felt & whomever didn’t like it, oh well that’s life.
johan… he keeps getting cuter
@Realist,
You are right. I’ve been coming to this site since it first got off the ground and the kids that were featured DID NOT look like the one’s being shown now! Don’t really mind seeing the half-breeds, because I just consider them black folks, but dang! And it really doesn’t look like those boys have such a beautiful mother. SMH
Well for you all who are so keen on one’s ”blackness”. Did you know that people of african descent are not are just not in africa. They are all over the place in many different continents ,in many parts of the world like central and latin american(afro- Cuban,Puerto Rican Dominican, Colombian. even in southeast asia( afro-Filipino, Cambodian even in parts of Thailand. Just as everybody in jamaica are not of African descent you have Chinese Jamaicans also. But of course you would know that if you open up a book and your mind.
Well I am in an interracial marriage and I still have love for ALL of God’s people. I would hate for my kids to not be featured b/c they don’t fit your ideal of “true” black. SMDH!
I apologize for offending anyone earlier because I did not post that rant to start controversy but really I had to post it someday because I have noticed this trend since visiting this website. I was excited to finally find a website like this which shows Black children.
I guess I misinterpreted the name of the website (apparently it means Children of A Black celebrity lol)
Like I said before I have nothing against interracial relationships therefore all of you involved in one and have biracial children need not to be so sensitive.
I DO view half-black/half____ children as Black however I am smart enough to distinguish them from children of TWO Black parents because they ARE different (not better, not worst, JUST different).
That was not suppose to be a post on the “Blackness” of the children on this website but how realistic these children represent the population of children they represent lol
Even I know that I do not favor the avg African American even though I have two black parents (I am fair skinned) but I am not arrogant enough to think that I represent most African Americans. I guess I should not expect this website to represent Black American children but rather Biracial and some Black American children.
It is really just silly for some of you guys to post the things you did…
MixtryMama said “No one blames the white person in an interracial relationship but black people seem to be the ones who have problems with these relationships nowadays.”
Surely u must understand that your comparing a population of approx 180 million(Whites) to a measly 36 million(Blacks). I was simply comparing the AVG amount of non-Black people dating outside of their race to the AVG amount of Blacks dating outside the race– NOT because I think there is something wrong with interracial dating BUT to show that there isn’t a balance in numbers which makes me think there is an internal problem!
You guys, you also have to realize that this site relies on photographs taken by the paparazzi. Who tend to focus on Heidi’s, Kimora’s, Madonna’s, Halle’s kids. But they still feature other kids. BCK doesn’t seem biased in what they post, they have to use what’s available to them.
Who cares if kids are biracial or 100% Black just don’t make it and issue and it will not be one there all just celebrities kids of color.
Very handsome boys and I love their hair.
In response to the above answers. There is no pure race in the USA we are all a mixture. It would be rather arrogant to consider ones self as “pure” anything. Just consider how many sets of grandparents an individual has; great grandparents and keep multiplying that.
MIAMORE, YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS!
Why is it that black people hate the way we look?? First of all it’s not Black people it’s some black people hate the way the look because of the media which is primarily controlled by the “whites”. Magazines, soap operas, movies, commericals, books, Ads through out the world says that black isn’t beautiful. To be black and beautiful you have to have European features.. rather you are dark or light, they want you to have long straight hair, straight nose and small frames. How can “blacks” be happy with the way the look when we are not being put on a pedestal like the whites.
Why isn’t it that white folks hate the way they look? This is just a silly question, why would they hate the way they look. Has anyone other race ridiculed them the way they have every other race? Has anyone told them their hair is to straight and it needs a lift? They have no reason to hate the way the look, they are the envy of everyone… you do the math!
There has been mixed race black people for centuries and even then it was our fault even though our women were being raped by their slave masters. Even then it was the slave women (who had absolutely no say so with regards to whom she slept with) who was enticing the white womans man in her bed. If you was my child, I’d slap you for this one. You think those white rapist where “enticed”, in those days thier, white women were to remain pure. They only used sex to create a child…. pick up your history books hon. Black women were slaves, they did what ever the masters wanted them to do. Free “P” was available and those bastards took it!
I’m tired of the entire black and white thing people. Get over it, pretty soon there won’t be any races to differeniate.
You said nothing but the truth about this website. This website is probably run by black women in IR, who want to push the idea out there that the future generation of black people will look bi-racial. We all do not live in California and we all don’t love or like white people. The problem is is that black women do not fit into the white commuinity and the black community is not playing them or their IR any mind so they try to push the image of their half souless children off as being the new black. But it is not working because black people are still having children together, and that is the image that the black community is uplifting. Who care what white people think or what they put on t.v.? Black people should not look at t.v. to find role models or a positive image of themselves, they should find it in there communities or their family.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE’NT GOING ANYWHERE! WE WILL BE HER TO THE END OF TIME! NOTICE THAT MOST PARENT OF BI-RACIAL CHILDREN WHO POST ON HERE ARE WOMEN…WONDERS WHAT THEIR AGENDA IS…LMFAO
All African Americans have some degree of admixture, and come in every type of hue. If I read correctly the childre featured on this site were children of celebrities and of african descent, which means mixed race and light skinned children have just as much right to be present on this site as a darker skin child, the problem isn’t with the way the site is set up, it’s with several of the posters that continue to make it about light skinned versus darker skinned.
Most of the interracial relationships come from black men but I notice alot of the comments are directed towards black women. This isn’t the case with all but there aren’t a whole lot of blacks marrying and having kids. Alot of black women are unmarried and have alot of kids or none at all. It doesn’t equal out to the amount in interracial relationships. Maybe the problem isn’t that the person in a IR doesn’t like blacks or has these problems but the black community has its own share of problems making it hard to find a mate under the right conditions etc.
I really hope some of you geniuses don’t think, we don’t know biracial children are partially black! I guess when you choose to take bits & pieces from a message, that’s the message you receive. Of course we’re all mixed in some form or fashion (WE KNOW ALL OF THAT). It’s not about being racist or biracial children not having the right to be on the site. They have every right to be here. The point some of us are trying to make is, where are the black children with (2) black parents? I refuse to believe there are only a hand full out there. If you’re in an interracial relationship or biracial, stop trying to defend yourself. No one is talking about you or your child.
Some of us that actually grew up in a household with (2) black parents would like to see just as many children that look like us, no matter the shade their blackness come in (if that’s alright with you) as the biracial children the site features! Let me explain the difference (to me) between a biracial child & a fair skin child? Virtually the same but what I mean is, the children they mostly feature on this site has (1) black parent & (1) white (or other) parent. The fair skin child has (2) black parents but somewhere down the line (grandparents, great-grand, etc.) there were some form of mixing that took place.
I’ll say it again! The site seem to mostly feature biracial children. That’s like a bright red flashing sign, saying to me this is the new “black” relationship/family. Everyone has the right to love & have children by whomever they want. I’m well aware of that. That’s their choice/business. But the internet/media appears to mostly show us that these are the only relationships that are taking place & babies being made. That doesn’t appear to be just a bit odd to some of you???
To the first post I have this to say to you. Mixing of races did not start with “black” celebrities in Hollywood these last few years. Mixing of races started 400 years ago through the Atlantic slave trade. So you all who are black and commenting are in fact mixed yourselves. There are plenty of black couples with black children. And in all honesty what black woman would have married Seal? Just go and look at the comments by black women about Seal on mediatakeout for example. Give it a rest with the race comments. It’s 2009 OUTSIDE AND WE HAVE A BIRACIAL PRESIDENT ALSO! I am of mixed race and we nothing wrong with people loving and marrying and having children with whomever they want. The longer people make it an issue they longer it will be one. They are a beautiful family. I don’t think that this site features mostly biracial children. I think they feature children that they know about and have pictures and information to show. How many black celebrities do we know? Then break it down to how many we know have children and then how many are out with their children and how many of their children are known to the public. Not many. Will and his family, Ice Cube and his family, Shaq and his family, Forrest Whittaker and the list goes on so I don’t see the problem. This website works with what they have so give it a rest.
They sure do have a lot of nannies. Dang, every day it’s somebody different in addition to Heidi’s mom.
*grabs popcorn* Wow! All that over biracial kids being shown in pics?
ROFLMAO!!!! Somebody must be counting the number of “beige” kids that pop up on here. That’s the last thing on my mind when I come over here. In BCK’s defense, I think it’s even. The site’s been around for a long time and they’ve done a helluva job showing kids born from black celebrities - so the title of the site is just fine.
As for the Johan and nem, I’m just glad somebody finally put some moisture in those locks of his. He’s a real cutie patooty!
Yo Baby Nak, I won’t even mess with Henry’s chicken strips this time. LMAO! Holla at ya homie!
To ‘Amy’
They are called children not ‘half-breeds’
I don’t know, I can see both points of views. Yes, people fall in love, and that is why they stay together, but it is from my observation, that before you “fall in love” you are attracted to the person physically. So what’s left to ask is, why are so many Black people physically attracted to what does not look similar to them?
Some might say it’s socialization, our environment teaches us what is desirable, and to be honest, what we see on TV or in magazines is beautiful White people, a much fewer beautiful Black people (for whatever reason).
Others might say its instinctual, on a subconscious level we all want our children to be accepted and to be able to thrive in our environment, so we desire the leaders ( and in U.S. society that group is White people).
And, if you guys want to pretend that people do not respond more positively to lighter-skinned children, then we seriously cannot have a debate. There is a ton of evidence.
Yes, the flip side is that a Non-white person is with that Black person, but we have to keep in mind ratio. Blacks in the U.S. make up 15-20% of the Population. Whereas, Whites/Non-hispanics (the last I checked) make up like 55-60%. If 10% of Blacks marry White people, that is only 3% of Whites marrying Black people.
I love all children, and have no problem with interracial relationships per se, but I will acknowledge that given U.S. Black history and the fact that we have been socialized to forget nearly everything about our ancestral culture, makes me inclined to believe that choosing a white person is more than just “two people falling in love”
Yeah, agrees with KB, they are called children not half-breeds.
Anyways, I forgot to bring up, what’s up with kids grabbing boobs, like Johan is doing?
Everytime I hold a baby,he or she is always feeling up on my bitties. lol.
I TYPED IT BEFORE AND I’LL TYPE AGAIN,WELL PASTE IT…
***Here is the copyright :2009 BLACKCELEBRITYKIDS- Black Celebrity Kids,babies,and their Parents
It says Black Celebrity kids, babies & THEIR PARENTS. It doesn’t say that the child has to be “full” Black, and it doesn’t say the parents have to be Black. It just says the children’s parents whether they’re biological, adoptive or step have to be celebs & the children at least be some percent of African American, Carribean, African(whole damn continent) and even Afro-Latino(if BCK considers them counted)descent.***
And for the folks that are saying this site doesn’t show “Black/Black Love”, yes they do!
*Will/Jada Smith
*Boris/Nicole Kudjoe (Yeah they both aren’t “full” but oh well)
*President Barack/Michelle Obama
*Duane/Tisha Martin
Smh @ some commenters… But these two kids are cuties.
Also I don’t think the BCK staff is pushing interracial relationships on anyone or saying this is the “new black love”. They are just showing pictures and featuring children that are of some degree African descent,and their celeb parents. I’m pretty sure BCK didn’t pair the parents of these kids.
Ugh!!!!!!! The crap that some commenters post, tiresome.
@Tina <—— Im not even gonna answer you because you Obviously did not read my post thoroughly!
@NikNak <—- Thank you so much for logically assessing my post and not pretending that we are living in an environment where Black people are completely unaffected by our physical features.
You made So much sense when you said…
“Others might say its instinctual, on a subconscious level we all want our children to be accepted and to be able to thrive in our environment, so we desire the leaders ( and in U.S. society that group is White people)”.
I do not HATE people for wanting lighter or biracial children, I just want people to be conscious about the way we view ourselves and our offspring.
It is LOGICAL (but not necessarily right) for a dark person who has experienced a hard life because of their skin tone and/or racial mixture and not want the same for their children.
But OF course we have so many women on this board who are in COMPLETE denial about the thought of this ever being the case.
Lets face it, mixed child are cute! It seems like the closer to the middle the cuter they are. But there should be a individual spot for them, we shouldn’t have Replace them with Black children (children closer to the African end, get it?)
I get that we ALL are mixing in America these days except that means that White children are getting darker and Black children are getting lighter (w/Asians and Latinos, it depends) and we’re all meeting in the middle. But When I go on (White) Celebrity Baby websites, I see a mix child for every 9 White children (numbers that are proportionate to the pop.). If there are more African American children (w/2 Blk parents) than their are biracial, then why are the numbers equal on this website???
It is what it is people. The world is changing and evolving. Your post about mixed children replacing black children is not going to change anything. Keeping ranting about it if you want.
I live in France and race don’t exist for us.We talk about ethnics groups.
@? that type of thinking is what leaves status quo the way it is. I bet you’d be the one telling Martin Luther King Jr. “It is what it is people”
YEP @CATHY.B LOL
ANYWAY JOHAN IS SOO CUTE HENRY CUTE TOO BUT JOHAN CUTER
@NIKNAK I THINK ALL BABIES DO THAT WELL SOME LOL.
TAMARA WHILE YOU’RE RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO SLAP FOLKS WHY DON’T YOU SMACK YOURSELF FOR YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND SELF HATE.
First of all my post wasn’t a statement it was a question. I’m sorry if I pushed your “hate myself” button but too bad. If you allow the media to lower your self esteem because of what they show than your bad not mine. I personally know that I am black and beautiful regardless of size, height or skin complexion because that’s what I’ve been taught by my ancestors not the television, a magazine or anywhere else.
The original question was “why is it that whenever we see mixed children it’s “us” that have the problem.” Why isn’t it ever that white people have a problem.
Hell they’re the ones sitting in the sun tanning for hours trying to be caramel like us. They’re the ones that get perms to make their hair more kinky. But when they do it its fashion when we do it it’s self hate. Give me a break!!! The shoe fits both feet.
Now to the slave comment that you think I need to be slapped for. Some white women (while remaining pure) despised the slave woman because her husband was sneakin down to the quarters at night. The slave mistress often felt it was the slave womans doing her fault that the “Massa” was sneakin and creeping. When it was really the “Missus” fault for needing to remain “pure”. While we were being raped and forced to breed the owners mulattos it was also considered our own fault on some platations.
NOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE A READING COMPREHENSION CLASS!!! HELL JUST GO WATCH ROOTS!!!
YOU COMPLETELY MISREAD MY POST.
are you serious?arguing over light skinned babies? my daughter is light does that mean im ashamed of being black?NOPE not all blacks are charcoal LOL im not dark dark but i also aint pale black.I dont have a problem with any race because i was raised right unlike half of the population.My ex gf is white.I also have some ex black girlfriends.My children are dark and light so I am happy with both.Now for heidi’s two sons they are too adorable.OF COURSE their mom is a friggin hottie lol.Also Leni is a cutie!!!
I do not understand why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch lol. People will always think what they want irregardless of what we try to educate them with. If this site is not suitable to you, then by all means create one if another is not available. We can’t please everyone. Children are beautiful and i am smart enough to know that what i see on tv and in a magazine isn’t a people as a whole but just a small percentage of who we are. There is one race that i care about and that’s the human race. It sad just having to have a page for black celeb kids but i guess its needed ( not an expert by any means).
