Did yall know Slash is half Black?

[Cat piss martini]

I thought everybody knew that.

 

[blankstairz]

yes, him in 1982

He could pass for a DeBarge in that pic.

 

[Scuti]

aight apparently everyone knew
im 23 so give me a pass

anyways it doesnt surprise me. I knew I heard Black Excellence in those arpeggios

And the worst part is, most of these "black experts" grew up in white suburbs watching disney channel and didn't discover their black side until they went to college or when Trayvon happened and they saw what their white friends really thought of them.

Their whole idea of blackness is caricatures from BET and old sitcoms

Whats wrong with Disney channel? I grew up in a black area and every little kid watched Disney channel.

All mulatto guitarist look alike to me

 

[Betty Draper]

Everyone didn't know because everyone doesn't listen to heavy fukking metal.

Guns & Roses aren’t heavy metal, dear.

 

[Lotsford]

Had no clue

 

[Guile]

slash lives as a biracial that can pass if you don't look closely

he's not black or half black

 

[Ziggiy]

Hell does Slash know?

 

[Betty Draper]

...a black slash would have given axl them hands, left the band, and brought attention to the situation. like a poster already asked, "does slash know he's black?"

Slash doesn’t seem like the type of mulatto connected to his blackness. He seems like the type to find anti black jokes funny and be passive about racism. I think he knows he’s got black in him and is ok with it but he’s more connected with his white side. He probably still uses his black card to say the N word or code switch if he’s around black men. He’s an incredibly guitarist but you can’t expect much from him. He grew up as a half black kid in the entertainment industry, in mostly privileged white areas . His dad is white so his example of a man is a white one and that’s what he connects with.

i didn't know this, but i've also never cared to dive into guns and roses. thanks for the new info

 

[Betty Draper]

yes, him in 1982

He looks less ambiguous here. You can tell he’s got black in him. I guess that’s why he started wearing that big top hat and shades. He knew those racist white rock fans didn’t fukk with nikkas, even the halfie ones.

 

[Cuban Pete]

slash lives as a biracial that can pass if you don't look closely

he's not black or half black

The gift and the curse of beigery

But I dont think any one besides Slash can define Slash for us

So

 

[Clark Griswold]

I know he’s one of the most overrated guitarist ever.

 

[Sauce Dab]

First thing he could’ve done was not be in a band who’s lead singer uses racist lyrics in songs and bytches about why he can’t saying n***er.

Slash was like and gave him a pass like did that white actress
