I think the Scottish surname part should be removed, because we don’t know if she has any other ancestry from Europe
I just realized I said the same part again, oops.
I think the Scottish part should be removed from her bio, most African American have English, Irish or Scottish along the line. She’s still African American.
@Mixed Kidd, she is Scottish-American and not African-American if she only identifies with her Scottish ancestry, so if she does then her Ethnicity should only be listed as Scottish.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up….
I’m not even going to engage with your nonsense anymore cuz I know you’re trolling
@Mixed Kidd, How do you come to the conclusion that I am trolling?
She is married to boxer, Tim Weatherspoon and they have a child together.
she is supposed to be married to talent agent (Tim Weatherspoon), not the boxer
Her bio is way too long.
