Best way to tell if a certain AA is mixed is to ask oneself, "are there West Africans who look like he does?"

Sorry to quote you but oj simpson is what I would call a lightskinned african american, he looks possitively mulatto to me. Wesley Snipes who was previously mentioned would be a dark skinned african american in my opinion ![](http://www.nndb.com/people/390/000022324/oj-simpson-mshot.jpg) ![](http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1983/snipes7kl.jpg) In certain parts of the Carribean oj simpson would be described as 'half caste' which is a term that is now considered racist in Britain but is still in use in some of our ex colonys that have populatons that are mostly of Negro descent. Hi! That's fine. Quote away. Anyways..... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) OJ Simpson is definatly not considered "mullato" in America. he looks like he is a regular Black with some minor NA admixture to me. Check out this link: www.pajamaprogram.org/events/luncheon2005.htmlThe child on Soledad's lap is her eldest daughter, a quadrooon. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Soledad has a younger daughter with kinky curly hair and full features.

Yes, but that one also has blonde hair and blue eyes. Her twin infant boys still look ambiguous. ...... ![](http://www.imageshackuk.com/files/1014/solotwins.jpg) As I said, with Quadroons you get a 50-50 chance of looking either way......mixed "Black" or fully "white" in appearance. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

I don't think OJ would be seen as half caste/mixed anywhere in the Carribean..even Haiti is a stretch IMO.

Sorry to quote you but oj simpson is what I would call a lightskinned african american, he looks positively mulatto to me. Wesley Snipes who was previously mentioned would be a dark skinned african american in my opinion OJ looks mulatto to you? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) If you don't mind me asking,where are you from and what are you? I don't think OJ would be seen as half caste/mixed anywhere in the Carribean..even Haiti is a stretch IMO. I'm from England and I'm 100% modern Anglo Saxon, the reason I say oj simpson looks mulatto is because he is just about what I would imagine a 50/50 mixed West African/North European to look like. I'm from London and we have a hell of a lot of West Africans (all types of Africans in fact) and Caribbeans here and we also have a lot of mixed race mulattoes, oj looks lightskinned even compared to the average Caribbean Negro who are of course lighter than West Africans due to Caucasian admixture over the last 400 years. compare these ![](http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2005/03/31/cochran_wideweb__430x253.jpg) the guy on the right is a typical African American with some Caucasian admixture and he is considerably darker than oj ![](http://www.creatingexcellence.co.uk/is/images/daley%20thompson_220.JPG) ![](http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39069000/jpg/_39069899_conteh200.jpg) the guy on the left is Daley Thompson who won 2 Olympic gold medals as a decathlete for Great Britain, his father was Nigerian and his mother Scottish. The guy on the right is the former world light heavyweight boxing champion from Liverpool/England John Conteh, his father was from Sierra Leone and his mother Irish. These 2 are mulattoes and oj resembles them far more closely than he does a full bloodied West African. ![](http://img422.imageshack.us/img422/996/halle20berry20x20men20junket6o.jpg) Even Halle Berry looks similar to oj in terms of darkness and she is in all probability more Caucasian than Negro because her father is an African American who most likely has Caucasian admixture and her mother is English. I have seen people of a similar racial mixture to oj called "half caste" in the Caribbean. To me this would be a typical non obviously mixed Caribbean Negro, the Arsenal and England footballer Sol Campbell or the drug cheating sprinter dwain chambers ![](http://www2.uol.com.br/tenisbrasil/topspin/fotos_notas/sol_campbell.jpg) ![](http://www.irnwurksmedia.com/dwain%20chambers.jpg)

Hmm...Halle Berry is darker than most WA/White mulattos from I've seen. From a black persons perspective OJ Simspon isn't light or dark skinned but a typical shade of medium brown.There are different levels of medium brown though..Will and Jada are also a shade of medium brown. ![](http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9438/oj1lm.jpg) ![](http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6825/willj5ba.jpg) Dark skinned is something like Snipes.. ![](http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8172/snipes9va.jpg) light skinned is something like.. ![](http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/6042/aad3aw.jpg) ![](http://x10.putfile.com/10/28907594289.jpg) obviously there are variations of all 3 types
