    I am sure he is not 100% black. Very rare to find that in America. Almost impossible actually. George Lopez does DNA tests on his show and Snoop Dogg has Native American in him and Charles Barkley has white blood so you never know.

    Tyson’s real father was Jimmy Kirkpatrick. Tyson definitely has Irish blood in him.
