He seems good looking, but that pic is just mediocre. Looks like he is constipated.
he looks African-American.
He looks Cuban
He’s a black man of Cuban ancestry(as he say himself). Neither AA’s or Cubans have a fixed look, so stop making a mountain out of a molehill
are you talkin to me?
A little to you, but mostly to her. When you state he looks AA .like I said, there is no fixed look for a AA or Cubans. I realize you made that comment a couple of yrs ago, you have made some progress with your as you say (trained eye) , not much but some. The molehill part was all for her. He looks Cuban, that’s silly to say Faizon Love here is Cuban:
