She was not a cute little

She was not a cute little girl at ALL. The hair was cute a bit thin though. But I don't think she had a nose job her nose was why it was easy for me to guess it was her right off the back. MAke up can do wonders to contoure noses for instance I thought for certain Rihanna had a nose job bcuz her nose now looks diff from when she came out. But once I saw her "abuse" pic sans makeup I saw she still has that same old MJ(pre-white) bell pepper nose that she's always had. So under all that maybelline could be a very funny looking person.

Seriously, so many people

Seriously, so many people have no clue what they are talking about. How many people here saying that only East Africans or Africans with Middle Eastern heritage can have long hair have ACTUALLY BEEN to the continent? Not all black women (in general) even know how to care for their hair properly so it doesn't grow or stay soft. West, South and Central Africans can grow their hair long if they treat it well. Unfortunately most do not. My grandmother's are both West African through and through and still have waist length hair into their 70's. My Mother, Aunts, cousins and myself included all had long hair until we started messing about with relaxer's, dyes, hot combs and irons. Now we've let that mess go it's flowing again. If you don't KNOW, ASK. Don't just spout nonsense like you have facts to back it up.

There's no point in claiming

There's no point in claiming your family five generations back is choclate coal black in color. They could still have recessive white genes. That's why they call them recessive - meaning they don't show in your features or hair and you look african. But if you are a black person chances are your ancestor was a slave. And if your ancestor was a slave somehwre down the line massa was creepin out to the slave quarters in the dead of night to rape your mother so there are no pure-blooded african people anywhere. Even in Africa. Because massa went there to get the slaves to bring over here and on that long voyage massa was raping the black women because they were horny. Just plain facts. So everyone needs to realize this simple fact and stop bullshitting about i'm black and my fifth grandmother is black and I have long hair. Yeas you do. BUT that's because massa raped your mother in Africa, on the slave ship over here or when he tipped out the house to the slave quarter when his wife Becky was aleep.

I can recall reading

I can recall reading somewhere that she got inot a very bad car accident, thats why she had her nose fixed ..... I wish I could remember where I read that.It was when she first came out as a solo artist though ..... She's still cute none the less ;)

Let me repeat - even if you

Let me repeat - even if you are choclate coal black and your mother and grandfather are choclate coal black you CAN and probably DO have recessive white genes in your family from where your ancestors either here or in Africa were raped by slaves traders who went to Africa to buy slaves used the slaves for sex on the ships because the voyages were months at a time or massa creeping to the slave quarters when his wife Becky was asleep. Just simple facts. Letoya's eyes which have asian lids and her hair texture clearly shows she is of mixd genes. End of story.

Biggi Grosse-Bonnette: Afro-Latina Warrior: TiffOnApr 14, 2009 at 2:06 pm | Reply |Someone has ASian in their lineage! Too cute!QuoteI’m sorry but your ignorance is showing with that comment. Why do people believe that black women’s hair cannot be beautiful and long unless they have something other than black in their lineage? People really need to get out and travel. Go to Africa and see how long and curly A LOT of those women’s hair is like over there. I would usually side with people on this, but this time I think you are wrong. She does look like she has something other than African in her genetic make up. I have been to Africa and some of these curly hair people you refer to has some other ancestry running through their veins….arabic in particular - places like the Sudan, etc. You will not see that type of hair in Nigeria, Ghana, etc. Don’t let YOUR ignorance show. I think the person stating that she has Asian heritage is making a valid point and it doesn’t show her ignorance. Yes I understand that most african american women are totally screwed up on image, but come on give me a break, can’t you see the girl (Le toya) is a little mixed! Quote is funny how people like to assume that they no a lot about Africa and Africans...yes egyptians are mixed but about 95% of somalis and eritrians are scientifically proven not to be mixed, that is how God created them just like he created the light skin igbo girls and the dark skin yuroba girls of nigeria, the beautiful ebonies of the Ashanti tribe and the striaght hair fulani and huasa girl of ghana/Nigerian, the fine features of the Hudtu and the strong features of the Totsi tribe in Rawanda. i'm as dark as midnight but i ve the striaghtess hair, tiniest mouth and pointiest nose, guess what i am African puree West African. yes she might be mixed becos most African Americans are mixed but not because of hair texture. all this mixed sh*t was cooked up by Europeans to maintain the idea that, certain features are atributed to europeans i.e. hair length and texture, striaght nose etc. pls if u re not African dnt assume about Africans by reading european history books. by the way i live in England were most blacks are either Africans or Caribbeans so i dnt no that much about Black Americans. one love thou

To see the original noses of

To see the original noses of the original members of Destiny's Child, all you have to do is look at the cover and artwork to their first CD with "No, no, no" on it and the second CD The Writing's on the Wall. They blew up after that second one and that's when they all went under the knife!

One last word here. It's

One last word here. It's sad, but sometimes we (African descendants) do not know what we are mixed with sometimes, because our foreparents did not document or tell us about our heritage enough for us to understand. Case in point me. Recessive genes are a MOFO....that's all I'm gonna say.

@ Ashley. I agree that pic is

@ Ashley. I agree that pic is scary. Her face looks swollen and she has that ET type forehead. Yall only hollerin cute cuz of the hair. She did have a nose job just look at the pics. Besides do u think she'd actually fess up. It aint really ah black thing to do...den again Elise Neal did say that 80 percent of black women in hollywood has had nose jobs...just ask Kelly Rowland. Hopin its not a relaxer cuz it's so damaging to hair and definitely need alot of maintenance. It would be such a shame given she had such a healthy head of hair.

There is a Long history of other ethnic groups entering Africa and it maybe the "merging" of black and non black groups occured a long while ago and showed up in some off spring a great while later. It has happened in my own famly.

Go to and see how long and curly A LOT of those women’s hair is like over there. Mostly because our ancestors ARE NOT from the part of Africa where you see those Africans with long and curly hair. If you were a slave in the Americas you were taken from West Africa (you don't have to be sure of which country). The hair you would have is very kinky, and unlikely to be long. So if you are Black from the Americas, it is most likely you ARE mixed if you have wavy/curly hair because that is not an inherent trait of our people. AND maybe the person was looking at her eyes, and assuming so as well. You just assume she is talking about hair when she said that.

also why does she look mix or

also why does she look mix or why does she have asian in her? do you ppl forget that blacks and asain share many of the same features like, eye shape, nose and hair YES hair naturally they have some kinky and "nappy" {before they straighting it with things like the japanese hair straigting system.)according to the bible blacks and asians are pretty much the same people who spread to diff. parts of the world, scientifically we had very similar features and anthropologically asian family systems and socities are very similar to african ones. either way Im just sick of people asking me if I got asian in me because of my eyes. or if I'm mixed when I press my hair because its down to my back. learn some history 1st before u make ignorant statements. also look up different African people especially central africans and honey you will see some chinky eyes. There isn't one feature that belong to just one group whether its hair, eye color, etc. This basically teaches us that we are all Gods children we there is one race called the human race. It's about time people took pride in who they were.

I think she just uses weave 2 protect it… Like Ciara does.But all those Destiny Child members had nice hair.

Damn Shame: She probably

Damn Shame: She probably does have something else in her lineage not because of her hair length but because of her hair texture. There are many black girls with a kinkier hair texture that have long hair like Keisha Knight Pullium. Having “nappy” hair doesn’t mean your hair can’t grow long. Not that it really matters because short hair is beautiful as well. Anyway, she grew into her looks. Oh please I know Somalians (Africans) with hair texure just like hers, so that doesn't prove anything and fruther more a lot of races have something else in their "lineage" in America and in some you wouldn't be able to tell. A good example would be the Obama girls, their Grandmother is white but you'd never be able to tell by just looking at them so hair means nothing as far as being able to tell someones "lineage" or racial backgroud. And FYI both her parents are BLACK, look 'em up.

Sparkle: how cute was she

Sparkle: how cute was she with her little ribbons in her hair? too cute.I think the length is hers and she adds pieces for thickness, her hair is very thin and fine.In the early DC days her and Latavia having the nicest healthiest looking hair. Letoya’s wrap was always on point lol To be honest they all had "healthy" hair in DC they really wasn't a difference or anything special, that stood out Letoya and latvias hair. if you seek amy: cute kid. at least she don’t claim that creole shit like beyonce do Umm....Beyonces mother is Creole, what is there to claim?

Who the EFF cares if she had

Who the EFF cares if she had her nose done, she is a GROWN a** woman and can do as she pleases. I'm sure most of you hating a** b*tches need more than ur nose done, probably a face lift or 3 as well. LeToya STILL has beautiful hair, you could see that if you all weren't wearing your HATER shades all the damn time. While y'all throwing people under the bus about noses, DON'T leave out LaTavia. Her nose is NOT the same either, group her with the others from Destiny's Child. Toya was a cute kid, I've seen other pictures of her as a child.. She's grown into a BEAUTIFUL woman!

The way Black is used in America, you can be Black and mixed at the same time. Some of the posters on here are really die hard, it's either "Anything resembling Black is ugly" or "All other races are bad and Black is the only good race" We can be proud of being Black and anything else we are. It's who you ARE.

NikNak: If you were a

NikNak: If you were a slave in the Americas you were taken from West Africa (you don’t have to be sure of which country). The hair you would have is very kinky, and unlikely to be long. Just some insight for your guys... 'Kinky' West African hair can be very long. The reason most black people of west African decent don't have long hair is because they put that chemical relaxer on their hair, which greatly weakens the strand of hair, and along with breakage the hair doesn't grow at maximum speed. Most people black people with 4a/b/c (west African 'kinky' hair) who go natural (who really go natural, thus applying very little heat, so no pressing) , within 5 years, when they straighten their hair, it past their shoulders. Just a little something for you ladies who think our hair can't be long. And to add, when your head feels like it's on fire (relaxers!!!), something's not right! Of course it's going to be hard to who your hair out with a relaxer.. unless you relax your hair after it's been grown out or have some different genes in ya. PSA complete.
