While I don't know what has happened to you to make you ask a question like this. In the way that it was asked. I can not help but think that there might be an issue needing to be addressed on your part. I think this is an unfair question to many different groups of people. This is just some thing to think about. I appear to be "white" as you put it in your question. However, my father is of an African American background and my mother is of an Irish background.When I was fifteen I was raped by a man that was "dark skinned"as you put it.Now since I am of both the backgrounds mentioned was he mistreating someone "white"? If you think yes then I would say that this was a shallow answer. Because the mistreatment that I suffered had nothing to do with my color,or background,nor his.And just in case you didn't notice on the surface it was "dark skin" mistreating "white". But then that was not the problem in my case and I think that a lot of people confuse race with other misguided reasons for situations that are sometimes out of our control to avoid the real problem at hand. While there are those shallow minded people out there. If you let what they do consume you, race related or not, then you are not living for you.

Wasn't that show interesting! I could look at henry's parents and tell that he wasn't all black even his great great grand mother looked like she was german! but i am not that surprised by Oprah she looks asian to me! So does mae jamison. honestly the fact that there are a lot of white people that could have black in them did not surprise me at all. there were alot of blacks that passed and went into society with out being discovered that went on to procreate children. So it is very possible for that to happen. i think henry's family wanted to stay 'above " the colour line that is why he was on a crusade to prove his black ness I found it ironic that he wasn't as black as he thought he was.

I do not think he is racist.  Perhaps in the heat of the moment he lost his reasoning.  \n\nAsk me why comedians like Chris Rock are allowed to use racist terms in his monologues.  (i.e., honkey, or cracker).\n\nDon't get me wrong, Micheal Richards use of the word was meant to single those heckling him.\n\nI think the sooner we grow above petty name calling, the faster we can make racism history.\n\nAnd if you were offended by Michael Richards then don't watch Borat you might pee your pants, (from laughter or discomfort, whatever your disposition).\n\nThat's my two cents.  Now how about some change?

Nope - at least, nothing that can be proven.  The allegations that he was part-black came from the belief that some of his features were more African-American than European-American, and it was used as an insult when he was playing.

Prince Roger Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Mount Sinai Hospital on June 7, 1958, to John Nelson and Mattie Shaw, both jazz musicians. There are a number of myths that he spread about himself, too, such as his race. His racial background is not clearly known, though it is generally agreed upon that he's black with traces of Italian in his family.\n-------\n(In early interviews, he also emphasized a multi-racial background -- half-Italian father, mixed-blood mother -- even though, by most reports, both his parents are light-skinned blacks.)

I think there's a lot of joking about black people that is accepted (along with other races) but Richards was just vicious and way out of line. I'm not sensitive about race, at all, but when I saw his video, I thought, "WOW!".

He is Black! Why are some people under the impression that light skinned Black people have to be mixed?

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.

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.

He's actually half-black and half-Italian. And he also has a twin brother. :-D

Michael Richards stunned a comedy club audience, shouting racial epithets at people who heckled him during a stand-up routine. \n\nThe 57-year-old actor-comedian, best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's eccentric neighbor Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," was performing at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood Friday night when he went into the verbal rampage. \n\nA video that bleeps out some obscenities posted on TMZ.com shows that the tirade apparently began after two black audience members started shouting at him that he wasn't funny. \n\nHe then paced across the stage taunting the men for interrupting his show, peppering his speech with racial slurs and profanities. \n\nWhile there is some chuckling in the audience throughout the outburst, someone can be heard gasping "Oh my God" and various people "ooh" after Richards uses the n-word. \n\nYou can see what he said for yourself at http://www.tmz.com/search/?q=Kramer%27s+racial+outburts\nJust scroll down to the bottom of the page and play the video.

Its just a guess but I think Greg Ellis. He is English born in Wigan and is well known for his part in the TV series "24". Dark haired and not really sure about the other connections but maybe if you looked into it more might find something.\n\nGood Luck

Ask Michael Jordan, Condoleezza Rice, or Robert Johnson...\n\nQuit using race as a crutch and get to work...
