Hes mixed but if we going by the one drop rule ov north america hes black just because hes rather light skinned dont make no difference :comeon: hes still viewed as black by whites some ov yall nikkas crack me up :bryan: bob marly , halle berry , the president are mixed but what to folks view them as .... nikkas :ufdup:..:dead:

Again, not saying I agree with it but the argument against some black folk claiming bi-racials as black is how they get credited and put at the forefront of shyt. They might be black on paper/fill out forms due to the color code but they can access white privilege to varying degrees.

But it's deeper than that because Drake, J Cole and Logic all have the same parental set up but one looks more white than the other and gets clowned for it and he ironically seems like he had the roughest upbringing out of the three. So like @Homeboy Runny-Ray said it's not just about his racial make up, but his background too that plays into his appeal. Dude embodies this millennial middle-upper class, hastag and tweet fakkitry. :laugh:

This thread isn't about his skin color

It's about his background and appeal.

Drake isn't even a threat to white people

There will never be an article outing drake as a "thug" or "delinquent"

Drake never lived as a black man

if drake looked like billy danze, yall think he would be hosting the epsys,and made into the nba's virtual mascot. front & center at grand slam tennis matches like hes a coach?

I remember they didn't even like rappers being in the mix at sporting events at all. now you got dudes like drake, Macklemore & machine gun Kelly at the forefront of stuff.

dudes is playing stupid in here. but we on page 4 now. I think some of these dudes not comprehending the topic are just DUMB-DITTY-DUMB.
