lovely, when you say this, do you mean he looks all black, as in sub-saharan african black? Or black like, yes it´s taken for granted that many people of african descent are mixed with european and native american black? Please explain, because to me he looks even MORE european than many european black/white mixed people.

Wow thats interesting because if you study Puerto Ricans they too have some ties to African Heritage! In one of Drakes songs he made reference to Creole! I’m creole and in my opinion he could pass for Creole! lol! Drake looks like members of my family easily! I keep telling you folks African-Americans are the most diverse of all of you. Almost all African Americans have a Drake look alike in their family! I keep encouraging people to do your research you will learn alot! That way before you make your comments you will be informed as to what you are talking about!

Almost half of the half-white/black celebrities in America are either half Jewish or half Italian. Jews and Blacks used to have a close relationship with each other back in the day. In fact, the NAACP was first created by Jews. Jews and Blacks could relate because of the Holocaust and slavery. I’m sure they’re some prejudice Jews (and blacks), but it’s very minimal. Albert Einstein was a strong Civil Rights supporter.

To Ann
your words(Jews and Blacks could relate because of the Holocaust and slavery)
Actually it had very little to do with that.In those camps,they had large population of black Jews.They were around each other living. both groups were treated pretty bad by whites.Alot of the African Jews were sent here as slaves.I mean there were a number of reasons.Same thing with the Irish,who until they got their white card got along with black people off and on etc

The fact that they weren’t seen as white was another thing. So yes it has a lot to do with that. Both were oppressed. :/ It’s being able to relate.

I agree I am Jewish and Black! My grandmother is Jewish and loves black people, she also goes to NAACP meetings! And always relates the Holocaust to Black struggles! I love my mix it is unique and very diverse!
