By the way, Puerto Rican people have black people’s hair because they are part black you idiots! They are part hispanic, black and a few other nationalities. Here’s the website, read and see if you can learn anything instead of flapping your mount about things you don’t know. Man… you sound soooo stupid.
To the person who said “he white,” learn to speak like an intelligent adult some day, it might come in handy. At any rate, he’s 1/8th Dutch, that makes him only 1/8th white. great many black people are of mixed heritage…. maybe even YOU!
By the way… the word is spelled “just” not “jux”. Man, some of the people on here sound so stupid. No wonder the Chinese, Indians, Cubans and many other nations are kicking our butt in the literacy rate and supplying new scientists, engineers, doctors, etc…. our younger generations are just soooo stupid. We don’t even have enough special ed support to cover this disaster, and they really don’t care. They have no idea how messed up their life is going to be in just a few short years.
