@ALEXIS CARRINGTON, you sound like a fool. RACE has NOTHING to do with what kind of music you make. A person can sing polka and still be black. Mariah is no black and she always went out of her way to make sure people referred to her as "MULTI-RACIAL." Even going as far as to say that her father was BI-RACIAL. When she wanted the black vote she started pretending to be a black woman. She knows nothing about being black and she did not do a thing for black culture or black people. She was happy to be WHITE during the years of her career that actually mattered.
