Colin Kaepernick and Tom Brady have the same skin color?

I saw this at the link below: "I kept switching between him and Tom Brady and they're the EXACT same skin color." I thought it was a curious observation given that one is mixed race and the other white. Do they have the same skin color?

OP is not the yellow skin troll. He's the 'biracial' troll and he's on every thread trying to make it happen.

Neither are the other pics. That's my point. You have no idea how accurate what you are looking at is, and the colors will even vary from screen to screen.

Why is this so shocking, OP? Because of the "impossibility" of there being any overlap of skin color between people of African descent and Caucasian people?

It just goes to show you that you cannot necessarily rely on sheer skin color alone as the sole visible determinant of one's racial background. Other characteristics may actually be more informative - such as skin texture, hair texture, facial features, build, voice quality, etc.. I mean, look at the skin color of many South Asians - it is often just as dark (or darker) than that of many black people. So how do you tell them apart? Much to the relief of many South Asians (seemingly) - there are ways of easily distinguishing a South Asian from an African or African American.

Kaepernick is one of those people who has light skin even by "biracial" standards. I remember the first time I laid eyes on the guy. With that name, the light skin, and relatively keen facial features (and with the lighting of the TV image not being optimal) - it took me a few seconds longer than usual to see that he was black (or biracial). I think I immediately assumed that he was white - but after several seconds of taking in his build, hair(style) etc. - I was like, "Wait a minute - he doesn't seem completely 'white'..."

If you did a similar comparison of people like Derek Jeter or Rashida Jones to certain white people, you would be similarly "shocked". And take Rosie Perez and Jennifer Lopez: if you looked at skin color alone, Rosie seems to actually have lighter skin than Jennifer. Yet - Rosie is basically considered a "black Latina" (even if she doesn't consider herself one), while Jennifer is thought of as a "white" Latina. Why? Well, look at other characteristics...

R37 In multiple interviews Colin's biological mother has said that Colin's father is black but doesn't know that Colin is his son. Also, Colin identifies himself as a "black quarterback" in several interviews.

That's fine R39. But, until I see Colin's biological father, he's not black. He does no chance black features whatsoever. When his father is made known, and he is in fact black, I'll agree with you. But, for right now, no.

by Anonymousreply 46May 8, 2015 4:40 AM

R46. So what Colin himself thinks he is not enough for you? Sounds pretty racist to me. If Colin considers himself black, who are you to say he is not?

OP, Person of color. Love your threads but you need to brush up on your biological and anthropological facts. The history of Ireland and Normans. Does Catherine Zeta Jones resemble a Welsh lass? Does Renee Z or Bjork look Scandinavian? Go visit 23and me DNA forums and explanation of Dineric. Look up Black Irish. You've your work cut out. We're all so much closely related than you've ever dreamed. Tom Brady spends loads of time outdoors in the sun. Factor that in
