Do people agree with this?
well it’s not necessarily what people agree with or what people ‘reckon’ it’s what is right, his hair is a very dark brown making it virtually black, and his eyes are blue with brown around the pupil which would make them look green, it’s not something that’s a matter of opinion
All I can see in that picture is brown eyes. I can’t see any blue or green at all.
are you looking at them on a computer screen or your phone, because they’re obviously blue with brown around the pupil, perhaps the blue may be hard to see under certain circumstances. I looked at a few of his photos, some make them look more like a forest green but in better ones they have obvious blue colouration
here he is with his father http://i.imgur.com/T95dmjk.jpg
He describes his father as black, not mixed race. and he does look it, but I dont know if its true.
LOL you must be high af because his daddy doesn’t black whatsoever. He looks like a Latino man or a Middle Eastern man. No wonder this Ryan person looks so white, his dad is probably less than 50% black. Stop lying, dumbass. He does not look black! If she looks black then I’m a damn mermaid.
His daddy doesn’t look black whatsoever * gonna correct my ass
His paternal grandfather is black, as in “pure west-African”, his father is Half white-Half Black thus is 50% Black. Lots of Latinos have black roots anyway so you saying “he looks Latino” is just contradicting yourself. Ryan Giggs is 1/4 Black, His brother looks a little less white.
Look at Paula Patton, she’s half black, Look at Hank Baskett (Kendras husband), he’s half black too. If you look at the Kids of Paula Patton and Hank Baskett who are 1/4 black like Ryan giggs, look more white. Don’t be silly with that “His daddy doesn’t look black whatsoever” because it clearly says He’s “1/4 Sierra Leonean (black African)”…….common sense would have pieced it up after looking at that picture of his father that his father is half black. smh
