Idris Elba's grandfather was an American-born World War II veteran from Kansas City who, after serving in the war, moved to Africa and started a family there, never returning to the U.S.

Just watched the clip and he didn't mention what you posted, where did you get that from?

Would this make him American African? :yeshrug:

Tragic. His people were stolen from Africa in the 1800’s, “released” after a civil war, became sharecroppers, went through the civil rights movement in the 60’s, decide to move to Africa, bore “African” children, child decides to emigrate to England, finally his father had him.
:wow:
Whatever country his father was born in wasn’t his tribe/country. It’s wild. He isn’t African. He’s not considered “American”. He probably considers himself a Londoner and doesn’t care for the past.
