You're right, she was perfectly half of each.
Name: Agnes Deeauen
[Agnes Derouen]
Race: Mulatto
Able to read: No
Able to Write: No

Her French name Derouen is characteristic of her whiteness, her inability to read or write is characteristic of her blackness — and before you pounce on me for being "racist" I'm talking in historical terms - American blacks in 1920 had poor literacy rates especially in Texas/Louisiana where Agnes lived. Skin colour characteristic of both.
But she looks much whiter than black in that particular photo. Her facial features are extremely European (French to be specific).

anyway, Congrats Bey!

Definite congrats to Beyonce on this mark! It has truly become a dance sensation

She made over $100,000,000 which is more than enough. And she pocketed $87,000,000 which was more than any of her contemporaries by about $45,000,000, not to mention her album sold 6.5 million copies worldwide so what you're screaming is irrelevant.

She was mixed with Native American, French, and African American.... so of anything she was more ethnic than Caucasian.

And while im well aware of the fact that most blacks couldn't read or write who's to say she was not one of the ones who could, so that statement is not a fact. And her race was Creole, and where did this receipt even come from?

Google is not always your best friend. I told you, you always do THE MOST!

It is a fact if it's from the 1920 US Census.

A mulatto is chiefly black and white, that means a parent must have identified as white and the other must have identified as black. This seems correct because the Broussards (Beyoncé's great-grandparents) were strictly white.

Google is your best friend if you know how to discern.

But to be on topic, I'm happy to see a great song like SL be a 4 million seller.

Beyonce and her mother who actually know the people say different.

Next one is Bad Romance. He said in the comments last week:

To the earlier post, Bad Romance is currently at 3,794,000. I will do a big number on this when Bad Romance hits 4 million.

btw, where is this receipt?

I never disagreed that Beyoncé is, for the most part, black.
That's like when a British child has 3 British grandparents and 1 German grandparent. He is for the most part British.

You can read about Beyoncé's relatives' census data here: http://genforum.genealogy.com/brouss...sages/753.html
and here:
http://www.afrigeneas.com/forum-fpoc...d=read;id=5121

As you can see, she has a diverse ethnic history of white, black, and mulatto. But, like you say, her closest relatives (mum and dad) make her mostly black.

While I do believe some of it is correct, I will never believe a single word that came from the average Caucasian American in the 1920's about someone who wasn't just like them.

But that is an entirely different debate. They probably called them dumb because they couldn't pass their tacky and uncalled for literacy test to vote or decided not to take it.

lol another mariah is a black or white debate..

Just shows how trend-worthy this song actually is. She doesn't even promote this song anymore yet it's still charting a year later. I guess we can thank Glee and the little girls dancing, provocatively, for it still being in the media.

SN: I feel like this is another "I'm Yours" and won't die for another couple of months.
