He is really completely "white" to be honest. Raised white and used to look like this before he grew that hair to pretend to be black.



The biggest question is, why do people "choose to be black"?

Tiger Woods had an Asian mother. No one EVER mentions that. Why?

Kamala Harris is 1/2 American Indian. No one cares?

Lewis Hamilton is 1/2 white, yet is has all black things going on with hair, tattoos, and he only mentions black. Why? His white mom means nothing?

It seems people want to be black instead of white. Here is my guess. If you are black and do well you are amazing. If you are white, you are the norm.

Wouldn't it be great for some people if they could go around and victimize whomever they choose with no consequence?

And replace it with what? Nothing, since pro football is too violent?

The prisons are physically still there.

Look at prisons in other countries like Iseland(forgot exactly where). But it’s less hostile and actually has way less recidivism..
