NOW WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BABY>>>>>>>

according to my manager, who looked it up on Wiki today when i told her, she said he was born in UK.

either way, I've never known him to embrace or talk about his afro-ness. I mean, now that i think about it, he does look mixed. Its just that since GNR in the 90s... i've never heard anything about this.

and i still don't get why you are considered "black" if you have 1% of african heritage. that don't make sense to me. Isn't he also "white" then? When he fills out forms, what does he do, check both boxes?

I guess i thought it was up to the individual to classify themselves. Ie. Barack calls himself black, probably cauz he looks more black than white. But hell, my sister (Italian) looks more black than he does right now with her cancer-tan... is she black too then? :D x2. USA is SO f'd up with labels and such.
