You should listen to when he confronted Opie and Anthony about his race the day before he came in for an interview. Just by that I'd say he acknowledges his black side.
Can you provide a link? I would be very interested to see this.
Just FYI not saying you are lying or anything on this but I would like to see the interview.
A little backstory... They absolutely made fun of him and they're lying because they're terrified. They only started talking crap once he left. Starts at 29:50
Samoans are too far removed to acknowledge their African roots.
