Im sorry if this seems racist but how does a biracial child who was raised by a single white mother and barley knew their black father relate to their black side when they most likely lived in and attended predominatley white neighborhoods and schools. I don’t get it. Coming from the biracial child of a single black mother so don’t call me racist.

So he’s half Jewish and half black. I don’t think he’d fit in too well with white supremists lol. Drake’s awesome though, he’s one cool dude

His father is black but he’s not from America…..therefore he’s not African American.
