    Beyonce is of African decent,as are most afro-american citizens. Beyonce is also of European decent,as are most afro-american citizens. Beyonce is a mongrel,as are most AMERICAN citizens. The fact that she has a light complexion is simply a matter of DNA. Kelly Rowland who has a deep brown complexion is probably just as racially diverse as Beyonce is. In my opinion Kelly is the more exotic beauty of the two (If you own the Destiny Fulfilled CD take a look at Kelly's beauty shot in the albums insert;she's breath-takingly beautiful. She looks like a somalian). The only reason people question Beyonce's heritage is because her skin is light and she makes every effort to look as european as she possibly can (long,blond weaves and wigs,contouring with makeup,etc.). As far as "white society" is concerned,Beyonce is as "black" as you or I. That is the label we've been given,but I refuse to be defined by labels (especially false ones). I am afro-american;among other things. The same applies to Beyonce. There is no such thing as a pure race. We are all apart of one another wether we like it or not;but because of the world we live in every american of color is seen as "black."
