Fans are still trashing as above posts show. All Lucas had to do was reedit the prequels and leave the originals alone.
Disney bought Fox.
Fredi Washington and the family of Dr. Albert Johnson are black.
It should be obvious the reason why Duchess Meghan had so much black symbolism at the wedding is because she identifies as black and is saying that she's proud of it. This supports my original comment which was that most biracial (black/white) people identify in the U.S. as black no matter what they look like.
It really does matter that Trump can't speak English. Neither could Bush 2 for that matter.
English is the world's most popular language. My city gives free English lessons to people. I think that makes more sense than passing a useless law.
They could've made a movie about him, but they want to promote heroines instead of heroes.
Kyle Katarn was in the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight video games. Those were great games because they were so immersive! He's also in several books.
That's a trick question since he doesn't read.
Trump barely speaks English himself. The French president has a better command of English than Trump.
You're as dumb as a wall. You should really be on the Trump boards supporting him.
She looks black to me. I know many black people who look like her.
I'm surprised by how open-minded and hospitable most of the royal family has been. The racist British tabloids are another story. They're still sleazy. You'd think they would've learned after killing Prince Harry's mother.
Of course it does.
The British press didn't hesitate to do vile racist and stereotyped articles about her. Prince Harry had to tell them to stop. Prince Charles own cousin wore racist jewelry while meeting Meghan for the first time. Needless to say that she wasn't invited to the wedding. A German news station recently got into trouble because of how they fixated on her race while reporting the wedding.
I don't care how light-skinned a black person is, the world doesn't let them forget that they are black.
Many Hispanics are part black. Maybe that's why she looked Hispanic to you.
I found an interesting article that attempts to answer that question. It's worth a read.
An excerpt:
"...Meghan’s blackness has been up for debate and it shouldn’t be. She identifies as biracial, as is her right, but the world sees her as black. Even though her skin is light and her hair is straight, she’s still had to deal with bigotry from the press and even from members of her new family. There were questions leading up to the wedding about whether Meghan was trying to disassociate herself from her blackness. Again, that was before everyone knew how black this wedding would be.
Yes, it was a celebration of love but it was also a blatant showcase of black excellence. It was Meghan Markle showing the world watching (all the people who have questioned her identity) and the world she was marrying into (one that has typically excluded black people) that her blackness not only exists but that she’s DAMN PROUD of it..."

The migration is in Africa. You'll want to work on your reading comprehension.
Evolution doesn't happen because of location. It happens because of mutation. If the mutation is beneficial, then the offspring is more likely to survive and reproduce.
There are Sicilians in my family. I have no problem telling them a part from northern Italians who made up a large part of my neighborhood, school and job.
You've about to write something "Archie Bunker dumb" about the Caucasus mountains, aren't you?
I linked black people with two black parents also which you have conveniently forgotten.
I suggest you reread the posts since you're lacking in reading comprehension skills.
Have you seen the wedding photos?

The dress looks beautiful in this photo. Poor Camila is going to regret wearing that hat years from now.
Your argument:
"No it doesn't. All blacks do not have white ancestry, just black Americans do. Africans do not. You're making shit up on the spot that doesn't have any grounding in reality."
My previous post showed the migration of various people throughout Africa which shows your above statement to be ignorant. I repeat, there are no pure races.
LOL. That's not how evolution works.
"Today they're mostly indistinguishable from their northern cousins."
Then, you don't know too many northern and southern Italians if you think they're indistinguishable.
No, I'm saying:
"There are plenty of black people or mixed race people who look white but don't identify that way which is all I'm saying."
I disagreed with your comment that a black person cannot look white and I still do.
History influences the present. If you were more knowledgeable about American history, than you wouldn't be so confused about how black people perceive themselves in the present and the reasons behind it.
"To be fair its a story that hasnt been told and its an interesting story."
Yeah, it's been told. Kyle Katarn stole the Death Star plans. He was part of the EU that Kennedy tossed. He was a much more interesting character than Jyn Erso and did a lot more.
I'm tossing Rogue One and going back to the EU.
None of the movies have any originality and copy shamelessly from the original trilogy even if it makes no sense to do so.
You've in for an unforgettably bad experience with Last Jedi.
She was living in sunny California when she was 11 which could easily explain her darker skin tone. As an adult, she worked in Canada for Suits which has a milder climate.
Her skin tone looks the same as now to me. She has cute freckles.

Her hair is curly, not kinky. Curly hair is OK for a child, but a young adult woman, black or white, is more likely to wear a smooth style especially an actress.
Her nose was too big for her face. Again, she wanted to have an acting career. Her nose looks the same, just in proportion. It's not pointy. And her bridge is still broad.
There are white actresses who have their lips thickened because thin lips aren't considered acceptable anymore in show biz. Do they want to be black or just have a career?
Stop expecting her to meet a stereotype as to how you believe she should look or behave.
"If you look white, you're white."
There are plenty of black people or mixed race people who look white but don't identify that way which is all I'm saying.
Historically in the U.S., there were laws that stated if you were 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 black, than you were black and subject to the same discriminatory laws that other blacks faced.
I'm not talking about the one drop rule which wasn't really used much since even the lawmakers knew that many Southern whites had black ancestry and would be classified as such. It wasn't uncommon for mixed race to pass themselves off as white when the law said otherwise.
As white as Meghan looks, it didn't prevent the British press from being extremely racist towards her. Prince Harry had to tell them to back off.
