    Her mother is Creole, which is a mixture of the following races/nationalities in varying ratios:Black American (African Descent), White American (Anglo Descent), Native American (Cherokee, Choctaw etc, who are ancient descendants of prehistoric Asian peoples living in North America) and French (French). Her Dad is African American, a mixture of White American and Black American in unknown ratios; no matter what the colour of an African American's skin, it's almost impossible to ascertain the actual amount of white-black intermarriage in the persons family tree. Beyonce, therefore, is mixed race with brown skin and black Afro hair,a curvy, thick body, perfectly evenly spaced facial features; dark brown almond shaped eyes, a curvy, thick body, lovely bone structure, a straight Indian/Anglo bridge in her nose but with a little African flair in the nostrils, a full mouth; and a LOVELY VOICE. But then y'all knew that already, I'm sure!!

    • Wrong she is black, just light skin. her mother is Creole.. but this is of african decent, she is just light skin too. All we need to do is listen to her really. Although everybody always slates her for trying to look as white as possible, wearing too much blonde weaves/wigs. At the end of the day she is black, she has only ever described herself as 'black'. The fact that she wears the weaves/make-up is in my opinion just a reflection of her image.. she isnt trying to be mixed or she would just say she was.. come on we know many mixed celebs cus' they tell us... Alicia keys, Leona Lewis, Cassie. BEYONCE IS BLACK BEAUTY

    • Thank You RedzerBoo for explaining what Creole is in America. Creole people are not denying any blackness, but embracing all of their ethnicity. Why should Creoles deny their many ethnic backgrounds just to declare themselves black or white. We are people of mixed races and that is the true meaning of Creole not only in America, but all over the world. If these so called experts that send their opinions would do research there are Haitian Creoles,Phillipine Creoles, and and many more all over the world. I know it won't happen in my lifetime, but I hope one day no American would have to declare themselves black or white. Remember We are "The Melting Pot of the World"
