THE FIRST PIC HER OUTFIT IS CUTE, I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL SHE GOT ON IN THE REST, AND SHE COULD HAVE CHANGED UP THE EXPRESSION A LIL…CAUSE SHE SHOWS NO “FACE” IN THESE PICS.
It is sad how Hollywood make these chicks stay so skinny. I am beginning to think that Hollywood is run by Gay men that hate women. This standard of beauty is out of control.
I always liked Rosario. She was wonderful in He got game. But in every freakin’ interview she has to explain what races she is mixed with. It is annoying. Yes Rosario, we know you are:
Irish, Italian, African-American, Puerto-Rican, Dominican, Afro-Cuban, and what other contraption.
Why do these people feel they have to work the mixed race route?? The fact is the base they should secure themselves with first is black people. She can call herself what she wants, when people look at her she will always be black. Black people won’t desert you!
These gurls don’t understand that white people are never sympathetic to people that hate themselves.
Mariah Carey started out mixed, now the turd is a black woman.
She looks good in these pics-I think she found her angle, by tilting her head like that but in full head on shots, her eyes look bugged out. Not attractive at all.

Actually, this is an issue some biracial persons feel strongly about. They feel it is not fair to call them black and that Biracial should be considered another race.
It’s funny though, because what will it change? Will racist discriminate against only half of u now? U can live in half of a white neighborhood? I don’t get it.
On the biracial question….in South Africa lightskinned blacks are called “colored” as though it’s different from black or white. Sometimes I think biracial folks want to have a new definition just as long as its not BLACK. At the end of the day, whether people want to believe its not about race, blah blah, you are what folks percieve you to be. So if you appear to be black, that’s how folks will take you, no matter what you say, Rosario, Tiger, Mariah, etc.
As far as Rosario….i remember meeting her and she was in glasses and a plain outfit looking far from a Hollywood type. I guess she’s stepped it up. But if that’s what got her that sexy ass Jason Lewis as a bed partner, I ain’t mad at her at all!
lolol i remember Rosario on Punk’d when they were asking her nationality and she did say that shit (8-9) different nationalities. It is true every article she has to mention how she is not black. I remember her once saying, “Whats the big deal about race, im Afgini friend says that i look like her people”. Rosario needs to shut up sometimes.

You know sometimes it’s not their fault that they mention it. Interviewers have an obssession with finding out actors’ races if they look ‘different’. So they get asked the question like all the time by reporters. For example in one day if they are doing promotions for a film and are interviewed by 10 reporters and they get asked the same qustion, obviously you’re gonna read about it in 10 diffent articles. The same thing happens to Charlize Theron-she gets asked about her mother shoting and killing her father all the time. They could just refuse to answer the question but then people would accuse them of being either ashamed or acting like a diva. It’s a lose lose situation.
Life is much easier when you accept and love the fact that although you have white or whatever in you, your ass is black. Black is strength, black is everything. Africa is the birthplace of civilization. This multiracial, biracial crap needs to go. When cops pull your ass over because you look “suspicious” it isn’t because you’re mixed, its because your ass is black. We were all slaves ,whether Papa or Mama was white.
You are so right! Technically most of the black people in this hemisphere are mixed any ways, but we are always seen as inferior and all of the other negatives that come our way!!! I think that people that have visibly white or other parentage see being called black as a negative. So they try to step as far away as possible.
The biggest shame of the week was BLACK ASS ROSIE PEREZ claiming on Martha Stewart’s show that she was only TAINO Indian… LOL
That bitch failed to admit that all of those Puerto Ricans have SLAVE blood pumping in their veins. Their beliefs, food and entire culture is painted with African culture.
They can run but will never hide. J-LO’s nose and ass came from SLAVE beatings and rapes.
Marc Anthony’s nose is a derivative of Yoruba DNA!
I don’t mind her saying she was mixed with Taino Indian, but that DOPE never mentioned African. Martha must have had an AMAZING laugh!!!
It is because of intermixing that some of those Hispanics don’t show certain features, but don’t be fooled. Believe it or not, but there were slaves in Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Venezuela. The largest populations were in Puerto Rico, Brazil, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, etc…
Today, there are over 30 million Africans in Brazil, not including the severely mixed ones.
It is the African that gave them their Salsa, Rumba, Tango, Meringue, etc… Yes, Tango.. Go check out the history…
Technically, if we used the one drop rule in Latin America, at least 70% of the population would be deemed black.
What people like Rosario Dawson, Zoe Zaldana & Fefe Dobson don’t get is that these Interviewers purposely ask them these silly questions to annihilate them from the blacks that will most likely support them. Oh, and Zoe Zaldana said that she is Latina and hates being labeled as BLACK! LOL Guess what BITCH, you are! If your freakin’ nose spreads any further, I’ll be able to drive my car through it!!! Zoe loves saying that she is Dominican, Caribbean, Lebanese, Spanish, etc..
BUT WHAT REALLY BUGS ME IS THAT MY GRANDMOTHER IS WHITER THAN MARIAH CAREY. SHE WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW BLACK SHE IS.
WHERE DOES THIS LITTLE SKINNY UGLITA ZOE SALDANA RAT GET OFF GETTING ANNOYED AT BEING CALLED BLACK??
MY FUCKING GRANDMOTHER SUFFERED TO GIVE THIS BITCH A CHANCE TO LIVE LIKE A HUMAN BEING AND HERE HER ASS IS HATING HERSELF!!!
I WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT LOSER IS IN UNTIL SHE GETS A FUCKING CLUE AND A REALITY CHECK!!!
Before VIN DIESEL opened his stupid mouth about being the first Multiracial superhero and that crap about him being Italian, but not black - I totally IGNORED him.
How could he even dare deny that he was black was way beyond my comprehension?
But weird enough, Mr. Diesel was at the NAACP Image awards finally admitting that “RACE & ETHNICITY” does matter.
Seems to me, Mr. Diesel must have had his N*GG*R moment!!!
Like my sister says eventually all of these people with Haute complex will eventually get their N*GG*R moment!!!
Remember when Lenny Kravitz was manhandled and arrested for being black? LOL
I enjoyed that one.
MY RESPECT GOES TO JEFFREY RIGHT. ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED AND AWARDED ACTOR BLACK ACTORS IN AMERICA TODAY. THE GUY WON A TONY, EMMY, GOLDEN FLOBE, ETC…
THIS MAN MAKES ME PROUD BECAUSE HE STANDS UP FOR HIS PEOPLE.
THANKS JEFF!!!
I understand what y’all folks are saying to a point about how mixed-race celebrities sometimes come off like they don’t want to be considered as black. But at the same time, if you’re of mixed race, you’re not all one, or all the other. Even though, yes, most of America is going to look at Rosario or whoever and say, “Oh, she’s black,” she has a right, and a responsibility, I think, to consider herself a mixture of all the races that she is.
Yes, Black is beautiful, but every race is beautiful and deserves respect. I can see how it would be very hard for a multi-racial person to avoid being pigeonholed on the basis of their looks.
Also, I agree with whoever said that a lot of times, the race question is the only question reporters want to ask these people, so it may come off like that’s all they want to talk about, when in reality, it’s all white or mainstream America wants to know about these people.
She has this exotic look to her. I love that about her. She doesn’t have the nice apple bottom that I love to see on a woman but she has this sultry, sexy ass look that just drives me crazy.
I thought Rosario was Puerto Rican or something, actually looking at her you really can’t tell what she is, but she is BEAUTIFUL!
I don’t know about people saying she is overrated, cause I really don’t read much about her, if anything I would say she is extremely talented and underrated.
Now I will probably get it for this, but how come it’s only okay for a mixed person to claim the part of them that is black, but not white, puerto rican or anything else. We alwys want everyone to belong to us when for me it’s like if you don’t want to be black then F@#k ya, you know. In the end it will come out and that person will be humbled.
For instance Mariah Carey, when she first came out she said she was not black, okay cool, but when she divorced Tommy Mottola , started selling less, and less record, had a movie to flop and became a big joke in the industry who did she have to fall back on? Black people! White people had written her off completely. SHe was humbled and now she’s blacker than Beyonce’.
So don’t worry about the ones who deny who they are f@#k em’ cause when the shit hits the fan they’ll come running back home!
Hahahaha same shit with Michael Jackson when dude is getting bashed for child molesting he hires Nation of Islam security and calls on his black peoples to support him but all along dude is running around the country with two white babies with toilet paper over their heads, popping pills and sucking on elizabeth taylor’s old ass titties. people in general are stupid. i don’t care white, black, latin, asian or whatever people are just dumb I hate ‘em all.
But back to Rosario. She is sooooo fly. Man she is up there in my top 5 and may be tied for numero uno. God she is beautiful. Even thought she was born with a cleft lip I don’t care that scar is cute. She could most definately get it. Its funny though I read an article about how she is a hoe. Around the time of kids she was going out with Harold Hunter (the black skater in the movie) and they were in a bar one night. She snuck away after she saw Leonardo DiCaprio come in the bar. Harold said 20 minutes later she saw him making out with her at the bar and they were over. She told him she was attracted to famous movie stars. Maybe she is the one who kicked off his depression, over-eating and cocaine consumption.
Ok, Tinkerbelle, I am really really feeling you right now sista!!!! If I knew you, I’d give you a hug. You are right on the money. I too have an extremely white looking Grandma and it will be a fight if you tell her she isn’t black. Back when they were growing up, black was black, no matter how light you were. Now, everybody wants to give a fucking cookie recipe when asked what they are. I’m tired of it. Rosie said she was Taino Indian??? Her nose is wider than ANY of my family members who are black. Hispanics have it twisted. They want to be so far removed from blacks that they say stupid shit. Africa runs through everyone’s veins.
Hey Courtie, we as black people all have the “right” to name a million ethnicities, but what good will it do. Our history as blacks in the world demands that that should come first. Respect all races, huh?? Whites have disrespected for so long and black will always come first in my book. Vin Diesel neeeded his “Nigga wake up” call from Paul Mooney.
Lenny has always said he was black. He said that was one of the first things his Mom ever taught him. In fact, not too long ago he was saying that if you have any black blood in you, you’re black.
Believe me, I feel what you’re saying. All I am saying is, that if I was a multi-ethnic person (which I am not, I’m Black), I would consider myself to be not just Black, but Black, white, Arab, Hispanic, whatever.
And yes, I disagree with folks who want to deny their Black heritage, but I do believe that if you are multi-ethnic, you are multi-ethnic. I don’t believe that “one drop of Black, you’re Black” business, simply because I think that’s an across-the-board generalization made up by White people to pigeonhole anyone who was black, brown, yellow, red, etc.
No disrespect, that’s what I think.
And yes, I do believe that all races deserve respect. I don’t care how people act. Believing that one race is better than any other is how we ended up in this centuries-old mess as it is.
And just to add, a lot of the reason that I feel this way is because I have a lot of multi-ethnic people in my family. My little cousins, for example, are half-Black, half-Japanese.
I don’t think that they should have to limit themselves to being one race or the other. I think they should embrace both beautiful cultures and learn about each equally, and realize that they are lucky enough to have not one, but two, beautiful histories to learn and grow from.
Sorry if I sound cheesy, but that’s the way I feel!
I tell you if Rosario didn’t have those big lips and dark complexion, she wouldn’t mention that she had blackin her!
Read her articles, you’ll become nauseous with her complex!!!
I believe it! That is why I am not feeling her. I am probably wrong for feeling like this, but hell, I feel used! Simply put, I feel used. When she started out, you would mainly see her cast in black films now that she has made a name for herself, she has disassociated herself from us altogether. I am not hating on her because I wish her success but I feel damn used.
I’m Irish/Italian (father’s side) and Nigerian (mother’s side). I was raised to embrace all three cultures and not identify with just one. If someone wants to look at the color of my skin and put me in one particular box that’s on them. But if someone comes out and asks me about my ethnic background I’ll be damned if I deny one of my parents. They both raised me and made sure I took pride in my entire heritage. If you want to call me black go ahead. If you want to call me white go ahead. But if you ask me I’m going to tell you I’m mixed. Because that’s what I am.
You always hear of Black and others saying what they have mixed in them but you never hear a white person saying they have any black mixed in them. Ain’t too many in this country is 100% anything.
Get a life Siobhan. My Dad is Italian too and I’m not denying him by calling myself black. In fact, my parents made that clear and by doing so, they saved me a ton of confusion. You are nothing special. Most American blacks have white in them. You and your Mom should really know better though. She’s from the Motherland. Your ass is black and you can check 20 boxes on the census form. I feel so sorry for a lot of black kids with white parents today because they are being fooled by their own parents. Since when is calling yourself black “limiting” yourself Courtie? You have problems. OH, and Siobhan, you need to remember, your Irish/Italian “people” don’t love your black ass. They think you’re a nigga. Your Dad loves you, but he doesn’t represent the majority of them.
You’re right E. White people who are actually black will never tell because they think to be white is to be the best. Its only ignorant ass black people who want to broadcast to the world that they have white running through their veins.
Siobhan and Courtie: I love ya’ll comments, and big ups to your parents for teaching you to love and respect both parts of who you are!!! COntinue to love and embrace all of who you beautifully are, and don’t even pay attention to the ignoramuses that think it’s okay to deny others races that are in you and have been there for you and supported you, just as long as you don’t deny that you are BLACK!!! It’s not right to deny any part of who you are if you identify with those parts of you!
Sorry, Cortney. I’m not confused about anything. My parents raised me to believe that color is just how people want to classify themselves. I’m not black, I’m not white. Have you spoken to all Irish and Italian people in the world? Do you know how they all feel? I doubt it. So, please don’t speak for them. You wouldn’t want anyone speaking for you without them consulting you first.
I’ve experienced racism from both fronts. White people because my mother is black. And black people because my father is white. One group is not better than the other. Just cause I’m half black does not mean I claim black as my race. Just because I’m half white does not mean I claim white as my race.
My Irish/Italian “people” (why is the word people surrounded by quotes?). Are the Irish and Italians not really people, Cortney?
Let me ask a question what about the child born to black parent & white parent and the child comes out white as snow? Does that child in the future fill check the Black tickbox on a census form? Everyone makes a big deal because Rosario Dawson doesn’t claim black when she clearly has a darker skin tone than most white European people. Using that thinking than the child should claim white, correct?
All this issue about race, color of skin, etc., and it’s 2006. As a human race we need to be over this. I don’t care what color people are. It’s ridiculous. So what? Rosario Dawson goes down the list of her entire heritage. How does that affect you? It doesn’t. Let her be. If you have some type of European in you and you don’t want to claim it, that’s you. But let the rest of us who choose to represent all our ethnicities do so without the nasty ass trash talk. We claiming all of them…you don’t hear us leaving out the black part, do you? It’s in there with the rest of them.
Comment #38… Jeffrey IS A BAD BOY !!!
@dukesman2000… I WISH she had some ASS to go w/ that “sexy ass look” ( See pic #2 )
For my photography experts, what IS up w/ picture #2…
WHAT kind of Fucking pose is that
She mentions all those things because her family strongly identifies with Latin culture. I’m actually friends with her mom and trust me, she’s very aware and proud of her Black roots. Culturally speaking they are more in touch with their Hispanic roots than African American, so the fact that they mention it at all shows alot more pride than other Latinos.
Its not like Jimbo who grew up in Harlem saying “oh I have Indian” in me. The Dawson family identifies multiculturally because they actually lived a multiculti life. We New Yorkers, are lucky enough to have a city conducive to doing so.
Wow, Cortney…I wasn’t expecting that.
We should have love for each other, havin the same name and all.
And girl, calling myself Black isn’t limiting myself. I am Black. I’m not multi-racial.
But if I was, hell yeah I would be limiting myself to call myself just Black.
It’s about being proud of your race or races, no matter what that race or races may be. Stop the hate, children!
Cortney, be a part of the solution, girl, not the problem.
Get a life Siobhan. My Dad is Italian too and I’m not denying him by calling myself black. In fact, my parents made that clear and by doing so, they saved me a ton of confusion. You are nothing special. Most American blacks have white in them. You and your Mom should really know better though. She’s from the Motherland. Your ass is black and you can check 20 boxes on the census form. I feel so sorry for a lot of black kids with white parents today because they are being fooled by their own parents. Since when is calling yourself black “limiting” yourself Courtie? You have problems. OH, and Siobhan, you need to remember, your Irish/Italian “people” don’t love your black ass. They think you’re a nigga. Your Dad loves you, but he doesn’t represent the majority of them.
I am the solution dear, not the problem. You are living in a fantasy. Color doesn’t matter, we’re all flower children!
Siobhan, it doesn’t matter if the kid comes out white as snow, its still black. Blackness isn’t always a skin color. You don’t have to look black to be black. I feel sorry for you.
Save your pity for someone who wants it, Cortney. I don’t need it nor do I want it. I’m quite happy with my life and the way it is. I’m not insecure about my heritage or ethnicities. I just embrace them all.
If you weren’t insecure, you wouldn’t feel the need to give a recipe. I”m Latvian, Russian, Nigerian, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Black, Slovic……………………………..If you were smart, you’d realize that the only “race” is the black race. We all come from Africa. Boy, I bet you two really wish it was Ireland or somewhere.
Pure ignorance spewing from your mouth, Cortney. That’s the end of this conversation. There’s no point in arguing with someone who refuses to realize that some people accept & embrace their entire background…not just the black (or white) part of it.

They could just refuse to answer the question but then people would accuse them of being either ashamed or acting like a diva. It’s a lose lose situation.

When cops pull your ass over because you look “suspicious” it isn’t because you’re mixed, its because your ass is black. We were all slaves ,whether Papa or Mama was white.

What people like Rosario Dawson, Zoe Zaldana & Fefe Dobson don’t get is that these Interviewers purposely ask them these silly questions to annihilate them from the blacks that will most likely support them. Oh, and Zoe Zaldana said that she is Latina and hates being labeled as BLACK! LOL Guess what BITCH, you are! If your freakin’ nose spreads any further, I’ll be able to drive my car through it!!! Zoe loves saying that she is Dominican, Caribbean, Lebanese, Spanish, etc..
BUT WHAT REALLY BUGS ME IS THAT MY GRANDMOTHER IS WHITER THAN MARIAH CAREY. SHE WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW BLACK SHE IS.
WHERE DOES THIS LITTLE SKINNY UGLITA ZOE SALDANA RAT GET OFF GETTING ANNOYED AT BEING CALLED BLACK??
MY FUCKING GRANDMOTHER SUFFERED TO GIVE THIS BITCH A CHANCE TO LIVE LIKE A HUMAN BEING AND HERE HER ASS IS HATING HERSELF!!!
I WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT LOSER IS IN UNTIL SHE GETS A FUCKING CLUE AND A REALITY CHECK!!!
Before VIN DIESEL opened his stupid mouth about being the first Multiracial superhero and that crap about him being Italian, but not black - I totally IGNORED him.
How could he even dare deny that he was black was way beyond my comprehension?
But weird enough, Mr. Diesel was at the NAACP Image awards finally admitting that “RACE & ETHNICITY” does matter.
Seems to me, Mr. Diesel must have had his N*GG*R moment!!!
Like my sister says eventually all of these people with Haute complex will eventually get their N*GG*R moment!!!
Remember when Lenny Kravitz was manhandled and arrested for being black? LOL
I enjoyed that one.
MY RESPECT GOES TO JEFFREY RIGHT. ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED AND AWARDED ACTOR BLACK ACTORS IN AMERICA TODAY. THE GUY WON A TONY, EMMY, GOLDEN FLOBE, ETC…
THIS MAN MAKES ME PROUD BECAUSE HE STANDS UP FOR HIS PEOPLE.
THANKS JEFF!!!

I understand what y’all folks are saying to a point about how mixed-race celebrities sometimes come off like they don’t want to be considered as black. But at the same time, if you’re of mixed race, you’re not all one, or all the other. Even though, yes, most of America is going to look at Rosario or whoever and say, “Oh, she’s black,” she has a right, and a responsibility, I think, to consider herself a mixture of all the races that she is.
Yes, Black is beautiful, but every race is beautiful and deserves respect. I can see how it would be very hard for a multi-racial person to avoid being pigeonholed on the basis of their looks.
Also, I agree with whoever said that a lot of times, the race question is the only question reporters want to ask these people, so it may come off like that’s all they want to talk about, when in reality, it’s all white or mainstream America wants to know about these people.

I thought Rosario was Puerto Rican or something, actually looking at her you really can’t tell what she is, but she is BEAUTIFUL!
I don’t know about people saying she is overrated, cause I really don’t read much about her, if anything I would say she is extremely talented and underrated.
Now I will probably get it for this, but how come it’s only okay for a mixed person to claim the part of them that is black, but not white, puerto rican or anything else. We alwys want everyone to belong to us when for me it’s like if you don’t want to be black then F@#k ya, you know. In the end it will come out and that person will be humbled.
For instance Mariah Carey, when she first came out she said she was not black, okay cool, but when she divorced Tommy Mottola , started selling less, and less record, had a movie to flop and became a big joke in the industry who did she have to fall back on? Black people! White people had written her off completely. SHe was humbled and now she’s blacker than Beyonce’.
So don’t worry about the ones who deny who they are f@#k em’ cause when the shit hits the fan they’ll come running back home!

Hahahaha same shit with Michael Jackson when dude is getting bashed for child molesting he hires Nation of Islam security and calls on his black peoples to support him but all along dude is running around the country with two white babies with toilet paper over their heads, popping pills and sucking on elizabeth taylor’s old ass titties. people in general are stupid. i don’t care white, black, latin, asian or whatever people are just dumb I hate ‘em all.
But back to Rosario. She is sooooo fly. Man she is up there in my top 5 and may be tied for numero uno. God she is beautiful. Even thought she was born with a cleft lip I don’t care that scar is cute. She could most definately get it. Its funny though I read an article about how she is a hoe. Around the time of kids she was going out with Harold Hunter (the black skater in the movie) and they were in a bar one night. She snuck away after she saw Leonardo DiCaprio come in the bar. Harold said 20 minutes later she saw him making out with her at the bar and they were over. She told him she was attracted to famous movie stars. Maybe she is the one who kicked off his depression, over-eating and cocaine consumption.
She is sooooo fly.

Ok, Tinkerbelle, I am really really feeling you right now sista!!!! If I knew you, I’d give you a hug. You are right on the money. I too have an extremely white looking Grandma and it will be a fight if you tell her she isn’t black. Back when they were growing up, black was black, no matter how light you were. Now, everybody wants to give a fucking cookie recipe when asked what they are. I’m tired of it. Rosie said she was Taino Indian??? Her nose is wider than ANY of my family members who are black. Hispanics have it twisted. They want to be so far removed from blacks that they say stupid shit. Africa runs through everyone’s veins.

Hey Courtie, we as black people all have the “right” to name a million ethnicities, but what good will it do. Our history as blacks in the world demands that that should come first. Respect all races, huh?? Whites have disrespected for so long and black will always come first in my book. Vin Diesel neeeded his “Nigga wake up” call from Paul Mooney.
Lenny has always said he was black. He said that was one of the first things his Mom ever taught him. In fact, not too long ago he was saying that if you have any black blood in you, you’re black.

Courtie

Cortney,
Believe me, I feel what you’re saying. All I am saying is, that if I was a multi-ethnic person (which I am not, I’m Black), I would consider myself to be not just Black, but Black, white, Arab, Hispanic, whatever.
And yes, I disagree with folks who want to deny their Black heritage, but I do believe that if you are multi-ethnic, you are multi-ethnic. I don’t believe that “one drop of Black, you’re Black” business, simply because I think that’s an across-the-board generalization made up by White people to pigeonhole anyone who was black, brown, yellow, red, etc.
No disrespect, that’s what I think.
And yes, I do believe that all races deserve respect. I don’t care how people act. Believing that one race is better than any other is how we ended up in this centuries-old mess as it is.
54.
Courtie
Friday, May 5, 2006 /
And just to add, a lot of the reason that I feel this way is because I have a lot of multi-ethnic people in my family. My little cousins, for example, are half-Black, half-Japanese.
I don’t think that they should have to limit themselves to being one race or the other. I think they should embrace both beautiful cultures and learn about each equally, and realize that they are lucky enough to have not one, but two, beautiful histories to learn and grow from.
Sorry if I sound cheesy, but that’s the way I feel!

I tell you if Rosario didn’t have those big lips and dark complexion, she wouldn’t mention that she had blackin her!
Read her articles, you’ll become nauseous with her complex!!!
I believe it! That is why I am not feeling her. I am probably wrong for feeling like this, but hell, I feel used! Simply put, I feel used. When she started out, you would mainly see her cast in black films now that she has made a name for herself, she has disassociated herself from us altogether. I am not hating on her because I wish her success but I feel damn used.

I’m Irish/Italian (father’s side) and Nigerian (mother’s side). I was raised to embrace all three cultures and not identify with just one. If someone wants to look at the color of my skin and put me in one particular box that’s on them. But if someone comes out and asks me about my ethnic background I’ll be damned if I deny one of my parents. They both raised me and made sure I took pride in my entire heritage. If you want to call me black go ahead. If you want to call me white go ahead. But if you ask me I’m going to tell you I’m mixed. Because that’s what I am.

You always hear of Black and others saying what they have mixed in them but you never hear a white person saying they have any black mixed in them. Ain’t too many in this country is 100% anything.

Get a life Siobhan. My Dad is Italian too and I’m not denying him by calling myself black. In fact, my parents made that clear and by doing so, they saved me a ton of confusion. You are nothing special. Most American blacks have white in them. You and your Mom should really know better though. She’s from the Motherland. Your ass is black and you can check 20 boxes on the census form. I feel so sorry for a lot of black kids with white parents today because they are being fooled by their own parents. Since when is calling yourself black “limiting” yourself Courtie? You have problems. OH, and Siobhan, you need to remember, your Irish/Italian “people” don’t love your black ass. They think you’re a nigga. Your Dad loves you, but he doesn’t represent the majority of them.

Siobhan and Courtie: I love ya’ll comments, and big ups to your parents for teaching you to love and respect both parts of who you are!!! COntinue to love and embrace all of who you beautifully are, and don’t even pay attention to the ignoramuses that think it’s okay to deny others races that are in you and have been there for you and supported you, just as long as you don’t deny that you are BLACK!!! It’s not right to deny any part of who you are if you identify with those parts of you!
Stay Up!!!

Sorry, Cortney. I’m not confused about anything. My parents raised me to believe that color is just how people want to classify themselves. I’m not black, I’m not white. Have you spoken to all Irish and Italian people in the world? Do you know how they all feel? I doubt it. So, please don’t speak for them. You wouldn’t want anyone speaking for you without them consulting you first.
I’ve experienced racism from both fronts. White people because my mother is black. And black people because my father is white. One group is not better than the other. Just cause I’m half black does not mean I claim black as my race. Just because I’m half white does not mean I claim white as my race.
My Irish/Italian “people” (why is the word people surrounded by quotes?). Are the Irish and Italians not really people, Cortney?
Let me ask a question what about the child born to black parent & white parent and the child comes out white as snow? Does that child in the future fill check the Black tickbox on a census form? Everyone makes a big deal because Rosario Dawson doesn’t claim black when she clearly has a darker skin tone than most white European people. Using that thinking than the child should claim white, correct?
All this issue about race, color of skin, etc., and it’s 2006. As a human race we need to be over this. I don’t care what color people are. It’s ridiculous. So what? Rosario Dawson goes down the list of her entire heritage. How does that affect you? It doesn’t. Let her be. If you have some type of European in you and you don’t want to claim it, that’s you. But let the rest of us who choose to represent all our ethnicities do so without the nasty ass trash talk. We claiming all of them…you don’t hear us leaving out the black part, do you? It’s in there with the rest of them.

She mentions all those things because her family strongly identifies with Latin culture. I’m actually friends with her mom and trust me, she’s very aware and proud of her Black roots. Culturally speaking they are more in touch with their Hispanic roots than African American, so the fact that they mention it at all shows alot more pride than other Latinos.
Its not like Jimbo who grew up in Harlem saying “oh I have Indian” in me. The Dawson family identifies multiculturally because they actually lived a multiculti life. We New Yorkers, are lucky enough to have a city conducive to doing so.

And girl, calling myself Black isn’t limiting myself. I am Black. I’m not multi-racial.
But if I was, hell yeah I would be limiting myself to call myself just Black.
It’s about being proud of your race or races, no matter what that race or races may be. Stop the hate, children!
Cortney, be a part of the solution, girl, not the problem.
