His dad’s father was mixed, according to him. The Moss side is almost entirely white. “NO BLACK really on the moss side of the family. All my cousins have BLONDE HAIR BRO”. He also claims Native American ancestry on that side.

This Tweet up there that I just read, says his moss side of the family is not black? Now If this is his father, then someone on that side of the moss family is black

Now while it’s possible, I don’t think that much more mixed than the avg black person here
He may want to see himself as different, which is fine. However him not been able to relate to the civil rights struggles because of his heritage, is just crap. He doesn’t relate to it, because he doesn’t want to relate to it
@Savanna we have to cutt off this mixed nonsense somewhere. Everyone in the world has been mixed. Alot of peopl esee lighter skin and a light bulb says they ar emixed. NO NO NO. Pure Africans blacks can be light skinned too. You cannot pull ancestros from 100 years ago and say someone is mixed thats foolish. My fathers dad was mixed and my mothers mom was mixed but I dont consider myself mixed at all.
he look part white… what is his daughter ethnicity, she looks 75%white and 25% black actually.
He does look mixed a little but he’s more black.. and his daughter looks a little more black, well mixed and her mother is mixed.
@Elina, no he does not look part white at all
He doesn’t look fully black though. He looks like a child of a biracial and a black person, I’ve seen some that look like him.

What does a fully black person in this country look like?

I have shown a number of times, that you can not tell how mixed a black person is in this country by their skin tone. blair underwood(26% euro) is more mixed than tyra banks
There are not “fully” black People in New World, not even Haitians score 100% SSA in genetic tests

Well that’s interesting, even the geneticists in the articles I’ve read in the past hadn’t made that statement. The highest they’ve said was 3/4 of the AA population was mixed. Also what about all the 1st and second generation Africans that have come here( as well as other places), I’m sure they would test 100% African
I don’t know much about Haitians DNA, it’s not my main focus, so where did you find that information at?
I read it..I just found this article now

anyhow there are “fully” black people in New World, the descendants from recent immigrants,
