Nicole is the daughter of Lionel Richie's drummer I believe from the Commodors group. His last name was Escovedo and he is the brother of Shelia E. Richie and his 1st wife could not have children and so they adopted her.

Let me restate: I don't know if she PURPOSEFULLY does not associate with people of color, but the majority of people of color see her as someone who does. Like Black people or People of color used to "pass" to be more accepted by Caucasians. Basically assimilate.

Actually I personally would love to have more golden skin like that. I am naturally a yellow toned porceline color and have always wished I was more olive toned.

I'm sorry if it came across that I was attacking you....It's just that I've been seeing on ALOT of the sites where people are like "that can't be his baby, it's too DARK," and other comments of that nature. So, I just wanted to comment here. So I apologize to you. I understand what you were stating.

I can't wait to see an ACTUAL pic of her not leaked by the paps where she's dress up. She probably is a beautiful baby.

I think that the baby is going to be a knock out. I mean look at Halle and her man. They are both knockouts.

Halle's baby looks like she's beautiful! Just like her parents. It's funny, I saw the photos and never once thought about her coloring until I read this thread. Genetics is a craps shoot. Mixed race parents sometimes have twins - one white and one black. It's nothing new.

And for the record, when Nicole is asked what race she is - she'll tell you she's black. Regardless of who anyone sees her associating with.

^ yeah. Nicole was on Howard Stern and she said something like "I'm the only black person I know that tans" or something like that. She def called herself black. And when she was on Tyra she told Tyra that she just says's she's black when people ask.

Awwww...she looks like an angel and we didn't even see her face.

Yep, and on her show she would always call herself black. She has never once denied it. I love Nicole, and I love her style and she is true to herself. I remember specifically her saying she's black on the show several times. I have not ever once heard her say she is white or latina.

Thank you ladies for correcting me on this...Truly, I did not know this.

ETA: Sorry ladies, I wasn't too wrong...I'm seeing on the internet where when she was arrested in 2003, she identifies herself as White, and then in 2006 as Black...


2nd quote: I tan too!! Just a little. I love having that "summer glow."

Race is so political. If you're bi-racial and you only call yourself one race, aren't you denying your other race? Ok, Nicole is Mexican/Black, she labels her race as black; Halle Berry & Barack Obama both White/Black, but consider themselves black; Jessica Alba is Mexican/White, calls herself white; Tiger Woods is Thai/Black, considered as black. Aren't we trying to teach everyone that color doesn't matter? I guess my point is, why can't they just say they are bi-racial so they are not having to deny their mixed-race background. To me, saying that you are bi-racial is being more true to yourself. Why is it wrong to honor both of your parent's race?

[wordpast]

^ I totally with that.

I don't care if people are biracial or call themselves such...but last I looked she (Nicole) is not White?? If she calls herself Mexican, Black or Latina, it is a WHOLE lot different than adding yourself to a racial category to which you do not belong...

I really want to see her little face, I bet she is really cute.
