Lloyd Banks is an American hip hop recording artist. He was a member of East Coast hip hop group G-Unit. G-Unit’s members also included 50 Cent and The Game. He is also known as Blue Hefner.
His father is African-American and his mother is Puerto Rican. He was raised in Queens, New York. His stage surname, Banks, was his great-grandfather’s surname. Also, his uncle used to say “that’s money in the bank” when listening to Lloyd rapping.
He does have the facial features of a black man. But a true black person is for example someone from Africa. And yes there have been proof of africans not always looking dark dark ( due to mutations etc in the genes, if I didn’t say it correctly someone please correct me, because I know about anthropology but not the details I’m not an expert). But still the black people in the United States of America is are of a mixed race ( mostly!). The natives of america are indians, native americans! And the people from Africa were brought to the united states to work as slaves. And they mixed with europeans and antive americans. Thus black people in America are mostly of mixed race and not pure africans ( or pure black people). So I don’t get why people have a problem with people saying black people are mixed ( even if it isn’t half hlaf or 1/8). Most lighter skinned black people or not for that matter, are mixed! Even if they ‘look black to you’.
Hey Fuzzybear, I knew when i started doing this site there would always be haters. And a lot of cool people like you and others regularly commenting on here.
To ethnic
yeah,I agree it probably could help.However that doesn’t always work either.Alot of children in the black community are different colors from their parents
Hey what’s up with your Anonymous fan,showing you all that love?
A picture of his mother would be very telling
Ok maybe he is mixed,but he looks like any old black man to me
