Someone said "half" to me the other day and I thought "HUH?". Now, at least I understand why they said it. I honestly had no clue anything about his biography, but then, I tend to not keep up with all that about any player.

I knew this. I have always called him african american.


I remember saying that on some other site, and someone said only black people could be african american.

How long did he live in Canada? Citizenship laws are different there, I know.

I worked with several Canadians about 10 years ago. They
always complained that it was harder for them to get work visas
in the U.S. than it was for the Mexicans.


What that has to do with your citizenship question I don't know.:doh:
