I was only addressing the OP which asks to we consider him AA or not. He's Afro-Canadian.

No, his patrilineal roots are of AA descent from Memphis. That can't be taken away from him just because he grew up somewhere else. There were runaway slaves who ended up in Nova Scotia, but by descent they're AA ethnically. Afro-Canadian denotes Africans/Caribbeans who immigrated to Canada. AA is an ethnic group.

Drake is a nikka at the end of the day. May not be the nikka you want, but he's the nikka you need.

What happened?

Da fukk? What happened?

Nothing special. My cousin was like 10 at the time, half black/half white,growing up in an all black neighborhood. Average kid, quiet. Never even thought about his racial makeup because like i said he was just a normal watch cartoon network,ride my bike,and eat chicken nuggets kid. Anyway he goes to spend the summer with the white side of his family and they spend the whole summer brainwashing him that he's white because his mother is white basically forcing a 10 year old to pick a side. When he came back home saying he's white the white kids are like no you aren't and the black kids are like you want to be white then go be white which lead to bullying and harassment for being the only "white kid" in the hood. A kid who didn't even know how to throw a punch was getting jumped almost everyday. He had a nervous breakdown trying to figure out why the world hated him at 10 years old. When they confronted his white family about it they said it wouldn't be happening if he didn't live in the ****** neighborhood.

My uncle had to sit him down,show him how to fight and give him a mulatto wake up call about not being ashamed of who he is or his racial make up but it was too late. Now he's 14 and has some psychological damage from it. He doesn't really trust black or white people now,especially white people.

Did it piss you off? I hope so. Getting this uptight about a nicca who doesn't even know you exist doesn't make dollars, sense and a waste of time.

That nikka is whatever he wants to put on his application.

Ya'll can't have it both ways. Obama is mixed and ya'll say he's just as black as the rest of us. And he was raised by a white woman and around white folks too. Ya'll can't nitpick with the one drop rule. IF it applies to one it applies to all.


Neither obama or drake is "black"

Yeah man, 10 year old kids shouldn't be having nervous breakdowns about racism.They stole his innocence.

Me and him had a moment like Will and Uncle Phil when Will's dad left him when he was explaining it to me :mjcry:
10 year olds are killing each other in wars overseas with AK-47s, his problems don't compare.


But...It's all about survival and his White relatives fukked him up by telling him that shyt cause he wasn't prepared to handle the backlash. Inconsiderate, racist peons.

I pray my mulatto cousins overseas never had to deal with that :wow:
