Yes, yes, yes but lettuce not give it all the credit. If it's one thing the coli can teach brehs, it's who is and isn't black

Like how the forum consensus was that kamala Harris is a non black woman despite media narratives.

So if she married someone with the same amount of black heritage instead of her actual husband, then you telling me that those two non black people can make a black baby if they choose?

Wow....you're right..can't believe it's been that long. Didn't he die on the 25th of the month as well?

Fun Fact

Ironically, the children singing backing vocals were also mostly white and Asian, only a few were Black, which is probably not that surprising given his crossover appeal at the time. But it was because Brown wrote and recorded the song at breakneck speed while on tour, and his manager found a group of schoolchildren who happened to be outside the recording studio and recruited them for the job. Given the urgency, there wasn’t the time to interrogate the race of the kids singing. Within 40 hours, the song was recorded, released and was an instant hit.

Worrying about a person that's been dead almost 20 years and made a song almost 60 years makes a lot of sense to you?
