Mom doesn't look like she's from Barbados
While Tip is black her mom looks more like she's a Mexican or something.
shareMaybe, but people in the Caribbean come in a variety of colors and shades.
shareHave you seen the people of barbados though?lol They are straight descendants of Africans.
They see me trolling...they hatin, they wanna try to catch me typing dirty
I have been to Barbados. I think you're right - most of them are very dark, but not all. Do you really feel that it breaks story narrative to have the mother lighter?
sharereally now? are you bajan? well, i am...
jamaica's motto is "out of many, one people"... the same can be said for most of the west indies... ever heard of a redleg? those are what they called white bajans, descendants from the poor scots sent as slaves to the island (yes, in barbados, some of the earliest slaves were poor white scotsmen)....
furthermore have you seen rihanna herself? not dark skin, like her mother (who is actually guyanese, lol)... her father is so light he could pass as a puerto rican in new york...
point is black people come in every shade and colour, west indians most definitely included....
It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...
Are you responding to me? I agree with that and said essentially the same thing about the variety of skin tones in my first post.

"Maybe, but people in the Caribbean come in a variety of colors and shades."--
That is true,case in point:Rihanna herself who is light-skinned and is from Barbados which is located in the Carribean.
in Barbados there are
1.Indo-Guyanese, from India originally
2.Euro-Bajans (4% of the population)[1] have settled in Barbados since the 17th century, originating from England, Ireland and Scotland. Among White Barbadians there exists an underclass known as Redlegs; the descendants of Irish indentured laborers and prisoners imported to the island.[62] Many additionally moved on to become the earliest settlers of modern-day North and South Carolina in the United States.
3.Chinese-Barbadians
4.Lebanese and Syrians
5.Jewish
6.The Muslim-Indian Barbadian 7.Romani people (Gypsies) from England who were expelled and deported to Barbados.[63]
