Former NYPD Blue star Garcelle Beauvais recently gave birth to healthy twin boys. She proudly appears with them on the cover of 57-year-old Black weekly, Jet, above.
According to Racialicious, however, the unusually light skin color of the Haitian-American actor’s offspring (her husband is white) seems to be annoying some people, to the site’s chagrin.
For example, on the mega-gossip web site, Bossip, these rebukes:
why them babies on JET magazine, better call up “jus shoot me” and put em in BLUSH MAGAZINE…..them babies is white lol
and
i’d cancel my subscription with all that paleness on the cover….lol@ a grimace joke
and my favorite
The cover of this magazine is an advertisement for the destruction of our people. Hyperbole? Maybe…but by how much?
Sad…so sad….

I couldnt begin to get into this Haitian chick’s issues! She’s got a lot of them! Po’Diab!
WOW….and here cometh the good ol’ blood quantum divide and conquer….
Whoever a person falls in love with, and has children of God with, should not matter. We have a Black president and we should stray away from racial prejudices. She’s a successful Haitian woman who is doing her thing. Don’t hate on her children and her race. Some haitians are mixed with French anyway and we are all interconnected!!!!
Well…that’s the problem with African American today. We can’t seem to stick within our own race. There is already a shortage of black men now. Yes…she has the right to marry whomever she choose. But those babies look whiter than white and shouldn’t be on the cover of Jet. They are also NOT THE CUTEST things..so let’s be REAL! To me …..JET MAG always represented \color\. I dont see it hear!
YOU KONW WHAT I’M GETTING TRIED OF EVERYBODY JUDGING PEOPLE BY THEIR RACE AND COLOR YOUR BABYS ARE SO CUTE AND FOR BEING A HAITIAN-AMERICAN AND STILL BEING STRONG I AM PROUD OF YOU GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF
Please let us stop with the ignorance. This should make all of us rethink the whole fallacy about race. What is really Black or White race? A “Black” mother can give birth to “White babies”and vice versa. There is only one race and it is Human Race. So when you are filling out your next paperwork you should think long and hard about who you really are as oppose to what someone else decided you were and sadly enough you bought into it.
Libraries are free so please visit them and inform yourselves about the history of human kind and stop with the slavery mentality about race. It is a social construct and was put in place for financial gain. It looks like we have been well brain washed. Check out the president, he has the same background but I guess since he is brown then he is alright. Such hypocrisy!What the heck is this?
Why all the racist hating from black readers?
When is a person with some black ancestry not considered black anymore? Don’t say that white people always consider someone black because that isn’t even close to the truth. Everyone I know would consider these kids white.
