She looks mix-SO What. A lot of ignorant comments, or people just bored with their life find time to make fun of others. She is beautiful, but she is a little big to be so young- I would like her to trim down a little- not be shinny, just smaller. She has plenty of time to be over weight- be young, healthy and in shape- be your best. Too many people just work.Especially my people- more blacks need to be active, workout at least three times a week or more. You will feel better and look better. 1
Bottom line is this, no matter what race her parents are she still has to contend with the world SHE lives in. Her father is just being a father, a little over protective, but a father nonetheless. However, I do feel it is important for young Ms. Sparks to be able to at least be a young adult, too often we see the fall out behind what fame has to offer young pepple with out ant real direction. It is my hope that her father's prctection is from the man/woman-eating record industry and not from growing up. Just look at what happened to Brittany Spears funky azz, and she didn't even go on "Idol."
I see there are racist idiots on this blog as usual. What neanderthals! Or maybe they are just provoking people to respond? Either way, Jordin will continue to be successful because she can sing and her parents will remain married so long as there is love between them. Forget the color issue. It is an irrational notion.
When will you guys realize that "race" is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. There is no such thing as a different race. We just have different skin colors because of the environment. God knew what HE was doing--it is just us humans that have turned it into something ugly. I am so surprised at so-called blacks being bigoted! AND for everyone's info, all of us, are mixed. My great-grandfather was from Scotland, I have native American and African ancestry. Black people, stop buying into this nonsense about white women and black women. We are just humans. I wonder how the blacks fighting and dying for this country in Iraq and have always fought for this country--from Crispus Attucks to present Iraq. I often wonder why we continue to do so for a country and people who spit in our faces when we come back. There has to be a special place in HELL for people who are prejudiced. I concluded that we fight, NOT for what America is, but, what it could be and SHOULD be. People who hate are under a Satanic spell. People who hate aren't happy with themselves and say ridiculous things. I am continually amazed by Humans. There is good and bad in every group--that's the way it is. STOP THE HATE! "Black People" don't give in to hate--it is not what GOD desires. I also fault a lot of these so-called Christian Ministers who don't speak out--there is a special place for them too.
Most afro americans can trace their lineage to Europe or native americans -- so what's the fuss? Jordin is a beautiful girl and she looks mixed like so many of us do because we can't help what gifts or talents God has blessed us with. And she is blessed to have 2 loving parents who also love her regardless of their skin color!
some of u ppl iz dumb...dont b comin at her and wat she mixed wit and dont use da term mixed breed..i dont like dat im mixed with the same stuff she mixed wit...mixed and puerto ricans are the sexiest u haters...and 4 da 1 that said she looks nothin like her dad iz crazy cuz she doez...some of u ppl r so racist ***haters***
Who cares if her mother is White? Why can't we ever have a discussion without commenting on someone's race or turning it into a racial discussion about history. We are somtimes our own worst enemies by fixating on race ALL the time when it has nothing to do with nothing. Somebody can say the sky is blue and someoone will find a way to make it about race. Lighten up !
It's nice to see a FATHER be protective of his daughter and attempt to instill some values in her instead of selling her out to the highest bidder. Black men DO care about their children, but society would hve you believe the opposite. It's also refereshing to see a young LADY who carries herself with respect instead of shaking her behind on camera.
I have a (late) black father who married a black woman and he was also very protective of me. He felt that I was the most beautiful girl in the world and I didn't need to be giving myself away to every man who expressed interest.
I'm sorry if some of you posters can't relate to that, but hopefully you will at least teach that to your own children. Jordin is still a teenager. Her daddy has it right.
I was also born from a white mother & a black father , theres nothing wrong with that at all . people need to stop focusing so much on race and more about character . there is always going to be someone in your race that is of the lighest of skin and the darkest so i see no point . I agree with Iberia you obviously have been programmed to look only at skin color , grow up !
