m not going to post their pics but I have cousins with blond hair and blue eyes who are part black. (this is still on my grandfather's side). They're all related to me by blood. Passing is a thing.


People are getting up in arms over people like Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King, but you'd be surpised by how many black people are passing as white.

This. I know several biracial people that pass as white. I have a little cousin that looks like Robin Thicke with blues. His mom is blonde and his dad is really light skinned.
