    He’s ugly and looks like a troll. Has a real punchable face. Would love to sock him with a left hook.

    his father might have also had some mixture from the 19th century, generally when someone has blue eyes, both parents carry the gene.

    A mixed guy who doesn’t care for his European heritage. Why do so many mixed black people, celebs ignore their European side?

    • midori29 says:

      Cause a lot of white and non blacks are racist and stereotypical toward black people . Many do not take the time to befriend black people, study black history or know anything about Africa. Its so sad. Africa is a huge continent with many different countries. Then some say ignorant things that they do not even realize sound bad.
