    Lol Americans are so ignorant. Maybe he was a white ancestor in their bloodline for consensual relationship. Or both her parents have a white rapist owner gene in their bloodline.

    You guys are letting the blue eyes deceive you. This man has african features from the nose, lips, ears, cheekbones and jawline.

      @fuzzybear

      In a country like Brazil where Titi623 if from, that man could even be identified as White.

      It’s all relative.

      • fuzzybear44 says:

        yes I know that. I was just letting Titi623 know that the father and his son Michael both identify as African American.A light skin Complexion, doesn’t really mean much. here like most everywhere else, our family skin colors are all over the place.My Cuba sister-in-law said I’d be seen mulatto, but i would never answer to that

      african american doesn’t mean just African or just black. Everyone knows most AA’s are mixed with European. AA is just our Ethnic name

  4. SClife says:

    He’s obviously mixed-race person. Stating that he’s only African is a joke pointed at science and genetics. This site has so many inaccuracies.

    • Ethnicity37 says:

      No, he is not mixed-race. His recent ancestors were black. Did both his parents have European ancestry? For sure because he is African-American and the majority of regardless of phenotype have some European and to some extent Native American.

      • Burritowithmeltedcheese says:

        Africans don’t ever get genes for light colored eyes unless there is at least one or two White European Descendants.. Sure, his parents both may be “Black” but I’m sure they have a little bit of European in their Background and not ONLY from Slavery.. Only White People have Blue Eyes, nobody else.

  5. Mixed Kidd says:

    If he were to take a DNA test, I’m sure he would have other ancestry. He is only considered black in the US because of the one-drop rule (which is very stupid to use today). If he were anywhere else in the world I’m sure many other would assume he’s other different ethnicities.
