Please let me know cuz I really want to know. My mom is light skinned along with her sisters. My auntie in chicago is very light like amerie's color lol. My mom has some dark skinned brothers. Her dad was chocolate colored and her mom was a medium caramel color. My dad side of the family most of his relatives are dark including his dad and brothers and sisters, His mom's side they are light including his grandma she was as light as hallie berry's complexion I think lighter. I was born in america but I would still like to know. I tried asking my mom but she doesn't know. Please I would like an honest answer thanx for answering my question!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

First, nice pic!
Second, it sounds as though it is "natural"; my parents had black hair and their parents, yet my brother had bright red hair!
Third, to be absolutely certain, have DNA tests done, the yDNA (for father to father on back) and mtDNA (for mother to mother on back).
Web sites that are good:
www.familytreedna.com
www.africanancestry.com
www.dnatribes.com
While a lot of people say these tests are no good, claiming they test only "deep ancestry", the fact is the DNA tests reveal ancestry types from about 2 centuries ago.
Good luck.

Answer 2

You can make light from dark. lol. Almost everyone is mixed up genetically, not unless you were adopted and someones keeping a secret

Answer 3

You look pretty dark in the spectrum of human skin tone. Your features are very African. You are so pretty as you are, I hope you will quit thinking about race questions and get on with your life. If you add some education and life experience to how you look you will be about as perfect as humans get.

Answer 4

Your mother is light skinned along with her sisters. You need to trace as much history as you can from your mother side of the family.

Answer 5

no, you may not be mixed. That is a tragic misconception that all people of African descent have to be dark skinned to be pure blooded. And that is just not true. There is a saying is secert in the black community that a black woman can have a white baby and she nor the baby not be mixed. Open your eyes , and you will see it.

Answer 6

I don't think you could be. I no people who have dark complection but there parents r as white as white can be. it is just how we are made. so you probaly arn't mixed. just how your dna is made up
