Funny question. When you have people pampering you and you have to look a certain way...no roots!! She was a brunette though, your right!

The term "Black Irish" is sometimes used in the United States to refer to Irish people possessing dark skin and hair, purportedly due to Iberian ancestry. Numerous popular theories have been devised to explain the provenance and historical background of the "Black Irish."\n\nThe term is used differently in different places.

Your friend is correct. I just studied this in school. Dark hair always dominates light hair. And the allele for green eyes overpowers the allele for blue eyes.

Take a look at the Innuit (eskimos). Their skin is dark. People of Siberia have darker skin than Europeans. I think its more a matter of genetics than the amount of melanin.

Although by her portraits she does not look black, apparently there is evidence of African ancestry.

Because Asians and Hispanics are humans, and most humans have dark hair.\n\nMost Europeans have dark hair.\n\nMost Africans have dark hair.\n\nMost Australians have dark hair.\n\nMost South Americans have dark hair.\n\nOnly in a tiny, tiny area of northwestern Europe do we find more than 5% of people having anyhting other than dark hair. And even there MOST POPLE HAVE DARK HAIR.\n\nLess than 2% of all the people on the entire planet have hair that is not dark brown or black. Hispanics and Asians are no different.

Yes. Darkness is an absence of light. To make it "darker" you subtract light. You cannot add darkness.

I want to commend you on the way you ask what could considered a racsit question. "Dark-skinned folks" are up set because there are still some prople in 2006   believe that "lighter-skinned folks"  treat them as  slaves or as if they are second class citizens which is far from the truth. A lot of "dark-skinned folks help build this country as well as "lighter-skinned folks". And as for the being lazy and needing to go to work. Most "dark-skinned folks do work and work hard for all they have. SO YOU GET OVER IT.

She bad mouths too many other celebrities..especially when one of her records is coming out..I think the whole marilyn look does not suit her. It would be nice if when she sings she wouldn't scream so much...I like her but she seems to have this lil diva attitude i don't like...

Well, people were judged by their appearance. So a dark Cuban, Peurto Rican, Dominican, etc would have been considered black so they would have experience the same discrimination that blacks had to deal with. However, if you talk about a real light Cuban, Spaniard, Argetine, Puerto Rican, they would have  been considered white, i.e. if they chose to obstain from speaking Spanish,etc and assimilating into the mainstream. \n So, only the really light Latinos would experience less racism then their darker compatriots.\n  In the 1940s, Puerto Ricans fought in integrated units during the Second World War, compared to blacks and  Asians which fought in segregated units.

I do believe that there were people who lived in England decades and decades ago who were from African descent.  I have met several black people who were from England and their ancesters were from England many years back.  That doesn't necessarily mean that you have any black blood in you.  If you look a little exotic, that doesn't mean anything.  The caucasian race is widely diversified . . . there are blondes, redheads, brunettes, and those with black hair.  Their complexions range from the very pale to the very tanned.  I would consider you a caucasiion if your family tells you that you are.

I personally think men with a dark completions are very attractive.  They tend to have a depth of mystery to them that says something about their heritage.  Dark completive men also have beautiful vibrant skin.  I am a woman who adores a dark skin man...keep shining and be confident!

Yep that's true for folks living in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Italy and Spain. The White men are so attracted to the dark skinned women. It's the opposite of what it's like here. Lots of my friends and families intermarried men from these countries and they get treated like royalty.  I think for the US, it depends where you are at. It can be vice-versa in some major cities like NYC, Chicago, Miami and Houston. Maybe because the juice is so much sweeter in dark berries.

This term was not particuraly coined by any single person, but became an accepted sterotype due to the influence of famous, beautiful but not-very-bright women that populated early 1950's era movies. A well-known example would be Marilyn Monroe, who could not sing nor dance but was very attractive.
