If by redbone, you mean a fair skinned african american, you can test your heritage via kits sold at http://africanancestry.com/shop.htm. I plan on doing it.\n\nLots of people are doing this now and have discovered fascinating things about their backgrounds. For example, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, who is head of Harvard's African-American Studies program, found that he may be 50% white.\n\nIf your dad says you are, why don't you believe him? There are plenty of fair skinned people with black heritage: Mariah Carey, Wentworth Miller and more. See www.mixedfolks.com for other examples.\n\nAnd I'm curious to know what acting white or acting black is in your opinion. We're all products of our environments.

I believe there is someone for everyone as a person, why do you find it necessary to say, I'M Black. I don't say when I put pen to paper or talk I'M WHITE. Either your a lovely person and thats all that counts, or you're not. Think of being a lovely person then others will think the same. Hope you get what you want have a lovely life.

genetics determine stuff like that. so look at your parents and that is a good indicator of how much hair you will have and where.

Your dad is a jerk for saying this to you.  Nothing like killing your own child's self confidence.  My dad passed away, but I always remember him comparing me to a friend of mine....about how responsible he was and how come I couldn't be like that. Gee, thanks dad....we're suppose to look up to these so called role models.  \n\nLet me ask you this?  Do you feel good?  Are you comfortable with who you are and what you look like.  If so, ignore him.  I bet if I saw you, I would think your attractive....just an instinct.  This father of yours....like mine.....is someone who lacked confidence in themselves and now are now reflecting this on their own kids.  Horrible, just horrible.  You are fine.....you definetly are NOT obese, that is for sure!

Because you're a lucky rockstar. Either you were adopted and they didn't tell you, it's a dormant gene, or there's something in your diet or environment that brings out natural red tones in your hair. Don't worry about it, I'll bet it's gorgeous!

Like a boy the way he is as a person, not for his ethnicity.

Take it from a "black girl who grew up suburban," that it goes both ways.  I was always teased by black kids for 'acting white'.  There is no real way to answer this question, other than, be who you are.  Not how the media says you should be because the white-owned media has only taken the most marketable aspects of black culture in its eyes and put it up for sale.  As long as you're not experiencing "buyer's remorse," you go, boy...

Darker color is dominant and lighter color is recessive as far as genetics are concerned.  More commonly, children turns out halfway between parents color.  In that sense, it is somewhat unusual that your children are completely white.\n\nBut...  I'm surprised that people near you are acting as this is such a surprising thing to happen.  It happens often enough....  One thing is for sure... if you are a mixed couple, the only thing you can do is get used to unusual and sometimes insulting comments from people.  Everybody has their own problems and prejudices.  If  you start getting upset over every comment, you'll be a wreck....\n\nI notice unusual facial expression (confused?) on people every now and then myself....

It is an old adage. We probably will never know where all the blond jokes started from. We just picked up on what our parents have told us and the blonde jokes we all heard. I do not know why. I agree with you it is not fair. You seem like you are pretty smart and you are deeply hurt. My best advice to you is I know it is hard when you hear the slide remarks but pay no attention and do not pay them any attention. As long as you know different who cares what they think they probably do not know you so how can they judge you.They probably are doing that to hide their imperfections or maybe they are intimidated by you but please keep your head held up high. Remember you are better than that and you are better than them so keep smiling.

Because we are beautiful African-American princess.(BAPS)\nEvery male in the whole world and in every culture are curious about us. We make beautiful babies. We can do alot with our hair. (very creative and imaginative) They don't realize that beauty ruins skin deep. We are not trying to intimidate them. We give off a powerful presence in a room.\nNoice some people want to be dark like us. Surgically getting bigger lips,butts and etc... Please be respectful the ones who answer.SHE SAID BLACK FEMALES ONLY CAN'T YOU READ! STUPID!

Well, you seem pretty LIGHT in the LOAFERS, you know?\n\nOther than that.....  I don't follow.\n\nMaybe you have gender identity issues....

Not necessarily. You are a mix of your fathers and your mothers side.\nKeep an eye out for it though.
